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 Or Alive Background

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.
