The Dog House Royal Hunt review
The Dog House Royal Hunt arrived on 31 March 2025, and this time the dogs have joined the aristocracy. The rottweiler wears a crown and a monocle, the ladies are in ruffles and everyone is dressed for the hunt. The suburban backyard has given way to green meadows with a castle on the horizon. The mechanics, however, are firmly classic: a 5×3 grid, 20 lines, multiplier kennels on the middle reels and sticky wilds in free spins.
The big addition is Royal Free Spins, a mode where every kennel carries a 10x or 20x multiplier.

Symbols and payouts
The low symbols are the card ranks 10 to A, paying 1.25x to 2.5x for five on a line. The mid tier is a bowl of biscuits and a collar, worth up to 5x and 7x respectively. At the top sit four aristocratic dogs, paying between 10x and 37.5x the stake for five of a kind.
Multiplier wilds in the base game
Wilds land on the three middle reels and replace every symbol except the scatter. On each spin, all the wilds on a given reel share one multiplier, either 2x or 3x. When a winning line includes several wilds, their multipliers are added. Unlike many slots, these multiplier kennels pay their way in the base game as well, so there is something to look forward to while you wait for the bonus.
Free spins and the 3×3 grid
Three scatters trigger the bonus. Sometimes, when the scatters are one position away, the game gives you a respin: the scatter reels nudge down by one while the remaining reels spin again, handing you another chance at the feature.
Before the free spins start, a 3×3 grid is revealed and every cell shows 1, 2 or 3 spins. Add them together and you have your total. During the round, any wild landing on the middle reels becomes sticky until the end, each with its own random multiplier. Scatters do not appear during free spins, so the round cannot be retriggered.
Royal Free Spins
This separate mode can only be bought, and it costs 500x your stake. Every wild in it carries a 10x or 20x multiplier. It is the route with the best chance of approaching the 8,000x maximum, but the price is steep, so we recommend testing it in the demo first. Regular free spins can be bought for 100x.
What a Royal bonus can pay
In Royal Free Spins every kennel on the middle reels gets 10x or 20x and sticks until the end. Two kennels on one line at 10x and 20x add up to 30x. A line of five rottweilers, worth 37.5x normally, would pay 1,125x the stake on that single line with that multiplier. That is why the mode costs 500 bets: it produces large wins far more often than the regular bonus.

Royal Hunt barely changes the original rules, but it adds the pricey Royal Free Spins and a slightly higher ceiling. If you want more ways to win, take a look at The Dog House Megaways.
Who should play Royal Hunt?
Royal Hunt is a good match for fans of the classic Dog House who want multiplier wins to show up in the base game too. For bonus buyers, Royal Free Spins are the main reason to pick this edition. If you do not plan to buy features, the difference from the original is small: a slightly higher top win and a different way of counting free spins.
