The Dog House: the widest build spread here
No portrait, 2.6 seconds, and three licensed return configurations that sit 4.77 points apart. That last number is the largest gap on this whole board.
The phone check
Sideways only, and even then the controls sit close together. The stepper is a millimetre from the button that spends money. The demo pulls about 11 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.6 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.
This title ships in more than one return build
Pragmatic Play licenses 3 configurations of The Dog House. The spread from top to bottom is 4.77 points, which is about C$48 in expected cost per C$1,000 staked. Same reels, same features, different maths.
| Configuration | Return | House edge | Cost per C$1,000 vs the top build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest build the studio licenses | 96.51% | 3.49% | baseline |
| Middle build | 94.87% | 5.13% | C$16 |
| Lowest build | 91.74% | 8.26% | C$48 |
How to see which one you are on, in three taps
- Open the demo and tap the burger or the ⓘ in the game's own toolbar, not the casino's.
- Scroll the info panel to the bottom. The return figure is printed in the rules footer.
- Compare it to the table above. If it is not the top row, that is the build you are being served.
123 of the 306 titles on this board carry more than one build, so this is worth doing once per game rather than once ever.
The spread, in dollars
96.51%, 94.87% and 91.74%. Between the top and the bottom is about forty eight dollars of expected cost for every thousand you turn over. Same sticky wilds, same twenty lines, same artwork. The only way to know which one loaded is the rules footer inside the game.
Do that once before you settle in. It takes three taps.
On the handset
No upright build, controls tight even sideways, and the free spins panel sits over the reels rather than beside them. Twenty cents a spin, roughly 100 spins on a twenty, high volatility, 6,750x ceiling.
The Megaways version does hold portrait, and loads faster.
