Game Overview
Game provider Pragmatic Play is up to its canine chicanery again, now giving us a cluster pays variation of its popular The Dog House series to go on top of the paylines and Megaways mechanics of previous releases. Personally, as a fan of cluster pays slots, that’s right up my street, especially as I found the other titles nothing more than bark with no bite. The Dog House Muttley Crew delivers a 5×5 reel configuration to land winning clusters, has a solid RTP of 96.5%, and can reward players with payouts up to its maximum of 7,500x the stake.
A few of the same features that have made previous titles so successful have returned to complement the new cluster pays mechanic, so you can expect wild multipliers, this time with values of up to 10x, and a free spins bonus where those wild multipliers remain sticky on the reels until the bonus game ends. You can also choose between three buy bonus options should you wish to pay for a shortcut into that bonus game.
Read up on the game before you start playing it, as we have all its details in this review. Then, you can play it for free in The Dog House Muttley Crew demo slot below.
theme, stakes, pays & symbols
When it comes to canine-themed slots, the Dog House series of slots is unquestionably the top dog in terms of popularity. However, as you’ll see on our Animal-themed slots page, a few others are worth getting your paws on for a few spins. Red Tiger Gaming’s Doggy Riches Megaways, offering up to 117,649 ways to win, is a good option if cluster pays isn’t a mechanic you enjoy. In comparison, 5 Doggy Collars from 4ThePlayer is a 1,024 ways to win slot with plenty of features, including re-spins, a pick-a-win bonus, and big prize bones offering instant prizes of up to 5,000x the stake.
Next up, let’s see if the symbol payouts on The Dog House Muttley Crew slot are enough to set the tail wagging. The all-important Wild, which carries multipliers and substitutes for all regular symbols, pays 50x for a 25+ combination, and the Blue Dog regular symbol shares that payout, although you’ll only need a minimum of 20+ to secure it. The Pink Dog comes next and returns up to 30x, the Gold Dog is worth up to 25x, the Turquoise Furball can pay up to 20x, and the Bone delivers 15x for a 20+ combination. That just leaves the low-value playing card symbols, where the Ace returns a maximum of 12.5x, the King and Queen both pay up to 9x, and the Jack and Ten return 7.5x as their top payout.
As you’d expect from a Pragmatic Play slot, a fantastic range of staking options is supported on The Dog House Muttley Crew. The minimum is €0.20 per spin, and the maximum allowed is €240.00.
Base Game & Modifiers
The 5×5 gaming grid in play on The Dog House Muttley Crew utilises a cluster pays mechanic to determine wins. Clusters are 5 or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically—the more symbols involved in a cluster, the larger your payout.
Multiplier Wilds
Wild symbols can appear anywhere on the reels, substituting all regular-paying symbols. Additionally, they will carry random multiplier values of between 2x and 10x that will apply to the payouts of winning combinations they help to create. If multiple wilds contribute to the same winning combo, their values are added together before they’re applied to the payout.
The Dog House Muttley Crew slot bonus features
Like the other slots in the Dog House series, there is a free spins bonus on The Dog House Muttley Crew. You can trigger that naturally by landing enough scatter symbols during the base game or buying it outright via the slot’s buy bonus feature.
Free Spins Feature
You receive 10, 15, or 20 free spins when 3, 4, or 5 bonus scatter symbols, respectively, land anywhere in view on the same base game spin. Wild multiplier symbols that land during this bonus game will lock in place until it finishes. Bonus scatter symbols can appear as an overlay on top of other symbols, and when there are 2, 3, 4, or 5 anywhere in view at the end of a spin, you receive an additional 5, 10, 20, or 30 free spins.
Bonus Buy
There are three buy bonus options to consider if you want to purchase the free spins bonus:
- You can purchase 10 free spins for 100x the current stake.
- For 15, it will cost 250x the current spin bet.
- 500x buys you 20 free spins.
Pros
- The cluster pays mechanic gives fans of this series something different from previous titles.
Cons
- Whilst the max win is respectable, some may consider it to be a little low.
The Dog House Muttley Crew Slot Review Final Thoughts
I wasn't sure if The Dog House collection of games had finally come to an end, but the addition of the latest Muttley Crew slot shows there is plenty of life in the old dog yet (excuse the pun)
Surely, the implementation of the cluster pays mechanic will please many Pragmatic and Dog House fans, and along with looking fantastic, the features in the gameplay make the slot a thrill to play, too.
Good
