The Dog House Megaways 1000 review
The Dog House Megaways 1000 is the heavyweight of the series. Pragmatic Play took the Megaways edition and moved it into its 1000 line, the same treatment previously given to Gates of Olympus 1000 and Sweet Bonanza 1000. The headline change is the kennel multipliers. They now range from x1 to x1000, and when several kennels feed the same win their values are multiplied together. The result is a top win of 25,000x the stake, the highest in the family.
Below we go through what is new compared with regular Megaways, the free spins modes, the super bonuses and the paid features.

Multipliers that multiply
In the original and in standard Megaways, kennel multipliers are added up. Megaways 1000 flips that rule. If a win involves a x10 kennel and a x5 kennel, the combined multiplier is x50, not x15. Put that together with individual values reaching x1000 and you can see where the 25,000x ceiling comes from. Big multipliers are uncommon and most kennels carry modest values, but even two mid-sized ones in the same combination change the payout dramatically.
Six of a kind of any dog pays 1.5x to 7.5x the stake, while the other symbols pay 0.5x to 1.5x. The kennels then multiply those amounts.
A worked example
Say five pugs connect across the reels with two kennels involved, one at x4 and one at x6. In regular Megaways those would add up to x10. Here they multiply to x24. Add a third kennel worth x3 to the same combination and the total becomes x72. That is why even small multipliers matter in this edition, as long as more than one of them joins the win.
Free spins and super bonuses
The reels carry both regular scatters and super scatters. Landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters awards 7, 12, 15 or 20 free spins, and you choose between two modes:
- Sticky Wilds: kennels on the middle four reels stick until the end of the round, keeping their x1 to x1000 multipliers.
- Random Wilds: each spin drops up to six kennels with x1 to x1000 multipliers onto random positions.
If at least one super scatter is among the three or more scatters that trigger the round, you get the Super Bonus instead, where every spin adds a random number of wilds or sticky wilds to the middle four reels. Land 3 to 6 super scatters and the All Super Bonus kicks in, in which every wild stays. No mode in this edition can be retriggered.
Ante Bet, Super Spins and bonus buys
- Ante Bet: triples your stake and makes the bonus 10 times more likely to trigger.
- Super Spin 1: costs 20x per spin and guarantees at least two wilds.
- Super Spin 2: costs 500x per spin and guarantees at least three wilds, one of them x25 or higher.
- Free spins buy: 100x.
- Super Free Spins 1: 500x, starts the Super Bonus or the All Super Bonus.
- Super Free Spins 2: 2,500x. In sticky mode the first spin guarantees a sticky wild of x25 or more; in random mode a wild of at least x25 lands on every spin.
Super Spins never trigger free spins. The expensive buys eat through a balance quickly, so it makes sense to try them in demo mode first.

Megaways or Megaways 1000?
Regular The Dog House Megaways is the smoother of the two: small multipliers that add up, with more modest but steadier results. The 1000 edition is much sharper. Multipliers multiply, dry spells can run longer, and a good bonus can pay many times more. If you want the simplest possible rules, start with the original Dog House instead.
Who is it for?
This edition is aimed at players who accept big swings and long losing runs in exchange for a shot at a very large bonus. If you enjoy buying features, it offers the widest menu in the whole series, from standard free spins at 100x to Super Free Spins 2 at 2,500x. For a calmer game, the original or the standard Megaways version is the better fit.
