Expert feedback

The table contains the main information obtained during 1000 test rounds. It gives a general idea of ​​the machine.

The start of the game was so-so. Over the first 530 rounds, the continuous progressive loss was about -160 bets. This is normal for the machine in question. The minus at such a distance for highly volatile models can reach -300 bets.

In the course of the test, there was a "splash" that completely eliminated the loss with a small plus. The overall result of the session is -121 stakes. This is normal, since the bonus was activated only once.

The main conclusion of the test: a significant plus can be formed due to a series of high payouts in the main game. You should not count on free spins. Parallel tests were run on neighboring computers. Both failed to activate the bonus after 500 rounds.

The only way to get the x50 payout is to land multiple wilds at the same time in the base game. Each wild has a multiplier: either x2 or x3. In the round, the odds are summed up.

The table shows the details of the events for the game intervals of 100 spins.

3 or more Scatter symbols trigger the bonus game. The bonus offers a choice of two options:

• From 7 to 20 free spins with sticky multiplier wilds. All dropped substitutes remain until the end of free spins.
• From 15 to 30 free spins with regular multiplier wilds. The difference from the main game is a more frequent occurrence of replacement symbols (estimation - 2 times).

The number of free spins depends on the number of scatters that landed.

Since only one free game was activated in the main test once, I had to find out the benefits of free spins through the bonus purchase function. The results are summarized in the table below.

Conclusion on the Buy Bonus function. The cost of buying free spins is 100 bets. It makes sense to take this step if you have 3-4 hours of free time and a reserve of several thousand bets.

The way to win from x200 in the bonus is the same as in the main game: collect 4-5 on the screen replacement characters. Their multipliers will be summed up.

It is important to understand that 1000 spins is a short distance for a high volatility slot. To obtain more reliable statistics, it is recommended to make more than 3000 scrolls in demo mode.

Features of the video slot

The machine has RTP ranges. This is an official option provided by the provider. An online casino can choose from several options. The base (best) value is 96?55%. Worst - 94?55%. The difference of 2% is insignificant for machines with high volatility.

The second feature of the slot is the very fast pace of the automatic game: 100 rounds of spins in 80 seconds. This is taking into account the time for payments. Setting an ultra-high rate of auto-spins is done through two successive settings: "Quick game" under the "sandwich" button, then "Turbo spin" under the "Autoplay" button.

The minimum bet in the online casino is 16 ₽. The maximum is 8000 ₽.

Expert recommendations

The Dog House Megaways slot machine from Pragmatic Play is able to increase the bankroll by several times, but with this can lead to a continuous progressive loss of 300-400 bets.

Two strategies will be good:

• "Lottery" - a short entry lasting 10-20 rounds and stopping the game at any outcome. 1131
• Продолжительная сессия только с использованием функции Buy Bonus.

C the strategy of raising the bet after 100-200 unsuccessful rounds seems risky, since 15-20 empty spins in a row are real, and the bonus is rarely activated.

Play demo version testing. Information about the current winnings, balance and remaining rounds is presented clearly. It is realistic to make more than 60 automatic spins per minute.

The video slot is available in 80% of online casinos and is usually not prohibited for wagering bonuses. However, the device is not suitable for this purpose due to high volatility.
