Pragmatic Play: Dog House Megaways 1000 Promises 25,000x Returns

Pragmatic Play expands its well-known slot portfolio with "The Dog House Megaways 1000". This new title promises players immense winning potential with up to 117,649 ways to win and multipliers of up to 1,000x. The maximum win can reach 25,000 times the bet. This slot is the latest addition to a popular series of games often found on provider platforms.

Numbers and facts

The slot is built on a 6x7 grid. Wild multipliers can reach up to 1,000x in both the base game and bonus rounds. If multiple multiplier wilds appear in a winning combination, their values multiply before being applied to the total win. Three to six scatter symbols trigger the bonus game, which includes up to 20 free spins. Players can choose between two different free spin modes: "Sticky Wilds Free Spins", where multiplier wilds remain fixed throughout the feature, and "Random Wilds Free Spins", which awards up to six additional wilds per round. There are also Super Bonus symbols that can unlock two enhanced bonus game levels featuring both sticky and random wilds, further increasing winning potential. Pragmatic Play also recently released the slots "Fury of Anubis" and "Big Bass Blast".

"The Dog House Megaways 1000" is not the only "1000" game in Pragmatic Play's portfolio. Other titles such as "Sweet Bonanza 1000" and "Wisdom of Athena 1000" show that the developer is working to re-release popular games with increased winning opportunities. For Pragmatic Play's games, Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, is often responsible for public comments. Asked about the partnership with Torrero, she said:

“Pragmatic Play products are extremely popular in markets across Latin America and Europe, where we can provide unrivalled entertainment experiences for even more players following this collaboration with Torrero.” - Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play

Background

Pragmatic Play is a leading content provider in the iGaming industry, known for its diverse and innovative slot games. The "The Dog House" series, which includes the older game "The Dog House Megaways", has proven particularly successful. The release of versions with "1000" in the name appears to be a strategy to offer players even higher multipliers and thus greater chances of winning. This aligns with the market trend of continuously creating new incentives for players.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, expressed enthusiasm about the new release:

“Adding to one of Pragmatic Play’s most recognisable and popular franchises, The Dog House Megaways™ 1000 will get tails wagging with its incredible multiplier potential, enhanced bonus game features, and 25,000x max win.” - Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play

Pragmatic Play currently produces about nine new slots monthly, underscoring the company's commitment to continuous innovation and expanding its offerings.

Why it matters for German players

German players who exclusively play in online casinos licensed by the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL) only have access to games that comply with the strict regulations of the Glücksspielstaatsvertrag 2021 (GlüStV 2021). This means that games with extremely high multipliers or a large number of paylines like "The Dog House Megaways 1000" may need to be adapted to meet German regulations.

These include a stake limit of 1 euro per spin and a monthly deposit limit of 1,000 euros, which is monitored via the central LUGAS system. Many Megaways titles, advertised with very high stake options and unlimited multipliers, cannot be offered in their original form in GGL-licensed casinos. This is an important player protection aspect designed to prevent gambling addiction. Players should always check if a provider is on the GGL whitelist before placing their money. This is the only way to ensure that the games are regulated and fair.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

For online casinos with a GGL license, the release of such slots poses a challenge. They must ensure that Pragmatic Play's games, if offered, comply with German rules. This means the slot provider may need to provide special versions for the German market. GGL-licensed casinos must also ensure strict adherence to the one euro per spin stake limit and the cross-month deposit limit of 1,000 euros. This is done, among other things, by connecting to LUGAS. Only regulated and approved games may be presented to German customers. Not every game highly celebrated internationally makes it to Germany in its original form.
