The Dog House Royal Hunt slot
The Dog House Royal Hunt is the Pragmatic Play slot released on 31 March 2025, and, as with the rest of this site, it has nothing to do with the TV series of the same name. The theme is decidedly upper class. The rottweiler has a crown and a monocle, the other dogs are dressed in lace and hunting tweeds, and the back garden has been swapped for parkland with a castle on the skyline. Strip away the costumes, though, and you find a familiar engine: three rows, five reels, 20 lines, kennels with multipliers in the centre and wilds that stick during free spins.
The headline addition is Royal Free Spins, a purchase-only bonus in which each wild carries 10x or 20x. This page lets you try that feature before paying for it.

What the symbols pay
Five matching card values, 10 up to ace, return between 1.25x and 2.5x the stake. The biscuit bowl tops out at 5x and the collar at 7x. The real money is in the four aristocratic dogs: a full line of any of them is worth somewhere from 10x up to 37.5x.
Kennel wilds during the base game
Wilds are limited to reels 2, 3 and 4 and stand in for everything except the scatter. On any given spin, all the wilds on one reel share the same multiplier, 2x or 3x. Where a winning line passes through more than one wild, the multipliers are added. The effect is that multiplied wins can appear while you are still waiting for the bonus, which gives the base game more interest than in many similar slots.
Reaching the free spins
Three scatters unlock the bonus. If the scatters fall one position short, the game will sometimes award a respin: the reels holding scatters move down a single step and the other reels spin again, offering another opportunity to trigger the feature.
Next, nine squares arranged three by three flip over one by one, each showing 1, 2 or 3. Add the nine numbers together and that is your allocation of free spins. Once the round is under way, wilds that drop onto reels 2, 3 or 4 lock into position, each with its own random multiplier, until the last spin. No scatters appear during free spins, so the bonus cannot be retriggered. Regular free spins can also be bought for 100x the stake.
Royal Free Spins
This mode is only available as a purchase, priced at 500x the stake, and every wild inside it carries 10x or 20x. As in the regular bonus, wilds on the middle reels stick and multipliers on one line are added. Picture two 20x wilds sitting on a line with the top aristocratic dog: 20x plus 20x gives 40x, and a line that would normally pay 37.5x becomes 1,500x the stake. Wins of that scale are far more frequent here than in the standard bonus, and this is the likeliest path towards the 8,000x maximum. Even so, 500 stakes is a lot to spend in one go, so trial it in the demo first.
Royal Hunt demo in pounds
The demo on this page is provided by Pragmatic Play with a balance in pounds sterling and no sign-up. Everything is included: the multiplier wilds, the scatter respin, the regular bonus, Royal Free Spins and both purchase options.

Is Royal Hunt for you?
If you liked the original and want multiplier wins to turn up in the base game too, Royal Hunt fits nicely. Anyone who regularly buys bonuses will find Royal Free Spins the strongest argument for this edition. Skip the buys altogether and the gap to the original narrows to two points: a top prize of 8,000x rather than 6,750x and a grid that sets the number of free spins.
