Dog Or Alive Review
Here it is, new version of famous Dog theme slot. Fresh graphics, promising, also 5×3 reels let’s have a closer look at it.
Symbols remained the same, and values are same, only animations and pics are renewed. The top symbols is still the Doberman. Here are standart payouts:
Symbol | for 3 symbols | for 5 symbols |
Dog Bone | 0.4x | 3.75x |
Dog Lead | 0.6x | 5x |
Hound | 0.75x | 7.5x |
Bug | 1x | 12.5x |
Chihuahua | 1.5x | 17.5x |
Doberman | 2x | 25x |
There is no change in Wilds mechanics, they still appear on the middle three reels, and can be either 2x or 3x multiplier.
Dog or Alive Max Win
Good news here, the maximum win was increased, from 9000x bet to 10000x bet, not much but still an improvement.
Dog House Multihold vs Dog or Alive comparison
Here is a list of differences we have found for these two games, they have a lot in common, the main difference is in the gameplay of bonus rounds, what I find very important for big hits. So step by step:
Feature | Dog House Multihold | Dog Or Alive |
Max win | 9000x | 10000x |
Bonus Buy | 100x | 100x |
RTP of the game | 96.06% | 96.52% |
RTP of Bonus Rounds | 96.08% | 96.54% |
Wild symbols | Remain on all screens | Double when 3, 6, and 9 wilds hit |
Rounds start with | 7 free spins | 9 to 27 free spins |
Three Scatters pay | 2x bet | 5x bet |
Additional spins | After collecting 3 scatters | After 3 scatters hit |
Max Bet | C$100 | C$240 |
Bonus Rounds | Opens up to 4 Screens | 1 screen, but wilds double |
As seen here, major differences are in:
- Max win size is increased
- RTP of both game and free spins is better
- Wild symbols doubles when 3 of them hit the screen during bonus rounds
- Bonus rounds start with 9 to 27 spins, instead of 7 spins in original game
- Insignificant, but now three scatters pay more when hit, 5x vs 2x before
- Maximum Bet for High rollers is increased to 240 CAD, was 100 CAD before
- Bonus rounds redesigned
Dog or Alive Free Spins Rounds
Pragmatic play redesigned the appearance of the free spins, I really loved 4 decks in the Multi Hold Dog House, it is so satisfying to see that last missing scattere finally hit and you are granted with extra spins and more than that, you have one more deck now, so chances to hit big grows. It was a nice gameplay.
In the Dog or Alive it is a little different, and main promising feature is Doubling of Wilds. Round start with 3×3 reels, that grant player with total number of spins to be played, for first 5 times I hit it it was something from 9 to 11, but can go up to 27, as each cell awards from 1 to 3 spins. And then here we go, we have only one matrix of reels, wilds appear on reels number 2, 3 and 4, as before. To get extra spins, and hit big we need to land 3 wilds during initial free spins. It will grant us 3 additional free spins, and DOUBLE current wilds on the deck.
It is sad that four matrices are gone, but doubling wilds is a good thing, they are 2x or 3x as in previous Dog House version, so hitting double once makes a deck with 4x and 6x wilds. That thing pays a lot.
