The Dog House pays on 20 fixed lines with four dog symbols as the top regular payouts, a kennel wild carrying a 2x or 3x multiplier on reels 2-4, and a paw scatter on reels 1, 3 and 5 that triggers free spins.
- Highest regular symbol: the large dog (often called Rottweiler), paying up to 37.5x stake for five of a kind
- Kennel wild multiplies any line it completes and stacks with other wilds on the same line
- Three paw scatters anywhere on reels 1, 3 and 5 launch the free spins round
How the symbols are ranked
Open the paytable and you will find a familiar structure: five card royals at the bottom, two dog-themed accessories in the middle, four distinct dog characters near the top, and two special symbols set apart from the rest. The 10, J, Q, K and A pay the least, with K and A sitting slightly above the other three. None of these will build your bankroll on their own, but they fill most of the reels between bigger hits.
Just above the royals are the bone and the collar. The bone pays less than the collar, and both pay less than any of the four dogs. Think of them as the bridge between the low-value fillers and the symbols you are actually watching for when the reels spin.
The four dogs carry the weight of the base game. From lowest to highest, a long-bodied dog pays the least of the four, followed by a small dog, then a fluffy dog, with the large dog at the top paying the most of any regular symbol. Landing three, four or five of the large dog is the single biggest payout you can get without any wild involved, so its appearance on a line is worth pausing for.
Two symbols work differently from the rest. The kennel wild appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for any regular symbol to help complete a line, while carrying its own 2x or 3x multiplier that boosts whatever win it touches. The paw scatter appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5, pays on its own for three or more, and is the trigger for the free spins feature. Neither symbol behaves like the royals or the dogs, and recognizing that difference is the fastest way to read the reels correctly.

Paytable terms explained
- Kennel wild
- Appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4, substitutes for any regular symbol, and carries a 2x or 3x multiplier applied to the winning line it completes.
- Paw scatter
- Lands on reels 1, 3 and 5 only. Three scatters trigger the free spins round; some paytables also list a small standalone payout for the three-scatter hit.
- Sticky wild
- During free spins, kennel wilds stay locked in place for the rest of the round instead of resetting on the next spin.
- Fixed payline
- A predefined path across the reels, read left to right starting on reel 1. The Dog House uses 20 of these lines rather than a ways or cluster system.
- Line multiplier stacking
- When more than one wild multiplier lands on the same winning line, their values combine, though sources describe the exact combination differently.
Where this paytable fits in the series
- The Dog House launches from Pragmatic Play with its current symbol set: five royals, two accessories, four dogs, a kennel wild and a paw scatter.
Paytable and symbol questions
Why does the kennel wild only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4?
That is how the game is built. Restricting the wild to the middle reels keeps most winning lines shaped like symbol-symbol-wild-symbol-symbol, with the wild acting as the multiplier anchor rather than a free-floating substitute.
Do the 2x and 3x wild multipliers add up or multiply when two land on one line?
Coverage differs on this point. Some explanations describe the values adding together, others describe them multiplying, so treat the exact combined figure as unconfirmed and check the in-game paytable for the specific rule used by your casino.
Which regular symbol pays the most without any wild involved?
The large dog, often labelled Rottweiler, tops the regular paytable. Five of a kind on a line pays more than any other non-wild symbol, including the other three dogs.
Does the paw scatter pay anything on its own, or only trigger free spins?
Some paytables list a small payout for landing three scatters, in addition to triggering the free spins round. The scatter only counts on reels 1, 3 and 5.
What happens to the kennel wild once free spins start?
It becomes sticky, meaning it stays in its position for the remainder of the free spins round instead of disappearing after one spin, which lets multipliers accumulate across several spins in the same session.
