Despite what the name suggests, The Dog House Dice Show is an RNG video slot, not a hosted live game show — there’s no dealer, no studio and no host rolling anything on camera. It’s a 5×3, 20-payline game built on the same wild-multiplier formula as the rest of the family, dressed in a dice motif instead of the usual back-garden scenery. Pragmatic Play does run an actual live, hosted dice game called Dice City, but it carries no Dog House branding and is a separate product entirely. Sources can’t even agree on when it launched, which says something about how little attention it’s had next to its live-sounding name.

How the base game works
No symbol paytable for Dice Show turns up in the sources we checked, so we’re not inventing dog names or payouts nobody has published. What’s confirmed: the wild sits on reels 2, 3 and 4, the same three reels used across most of the franchise, and lands with a random 2x or 3x multiplier; where more than one wild is part of the same payline win, the multipliers add together rather than multiply. A golden-dice scatter on reels 1, 3 and 5 is what opens the free-spins round.
The paytable screen inside the game lists whatever else it pays, symbol by symbol.
Free spins in The Dog House Dice Show
Three golden-dice scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 open the bonus round. Before the spins begin, a 3×3 grid of dice spins on its own and reveals your free-spins count — the same reveal mechanic the 2019 original uses, rather than something left undocumented for this title. In the screenshot we took for this review, the reveal landed on 14 free spins.
Once the round is under way, any wild that lands on reels 2, 3 or 4 turns sticky — multiplier included — for the rest of the free spins, and where more than one sits on the same payline, their multipliers add together rather than multiply.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Trigger | Golden-dice scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 |
| Spin-count reveal | A 3×3 grid of dice spins and shows the free-spins count, the same mechanic as the 2019 original (14 spins in our screenshot) |
| Wild multiplier | Random 2x or 3x on reels 2, 3 and 4; multipliers add together on a payline |
| Sticky wilds | Wilds hold their position and their multiplier from the spin they land on to the end of the feature |
Our mechanics glossary sets that plain sticky-wild round against the raining-wild and Multihold variants used elsewhere in the franchise.
Buy feature
We found no confirmed buy option for Dice Show — unlike Megaways, Multihold or the newer spin-offs, there’s no documented price for skipping straight to the bonus. That may reflect how little coverage this title gets rather than a deliberate choice, but we’re not listing a number no source backs up. Check the game’s own menu first; our bonus-buy guide prices every confirmed option elsewhere.
Max win, RTP and volatility
6,750x stake is the confirmed ceiling — level with the 2019 original and the lowest of any title reviewed on this site — though Pragmatic Play hasn’t published the specific route. Expect it to work as it does elsewhere in the family: several 3x wilds stacking on a payline in a session most players will never see.
RTP is less settled than the max win: VegasSlotsOnline and SlotsMate give ≈96.51%, while some trackers list 96.55% instead — a disagreement between sources about one figure, not confirmed operator tiers the way most of the franchise works. No lower version is confirmed for Dice Show either, so check the game’s own info screen before relying on any number quoted here. Volatility is rated medium on the game’s own splash screen throughout. Our RTP guide covers confirmed versions elsewhere, and our max win guide ranks 6,750x against the rest of the series.
The Dog House Dice Show vs the rest of the series
Set next to the 2019 original, Dice Show is close to a re-skin mechanically: same 5×3 grid, same 20 paylines, same 6,750x ceiling, same 2x/3x wild range on reels 2, 3 and 4, and now a confirmed 3×3 free-spins reveal identical to the original’s. What’s missing is the paper trail — the original has a confirmed hit-frequency estimate and a partial paytable that Dice Show lacks.
Against the later spin-offs, the gap is starker. Muttley Crew and Dog or Alive both publish exact buy-feature prices and retrigger rules; Dice Show has neither confirmed. If you want the same 3×3 free-spins structure as the original with a clearer paper trail around it, Royal Hunt is the closer comparison. Our nine-game comparison ranks them against each other; the hub lists every review.
At a glance: pros and cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Same proven wild-multiplier formula as the 2019 original, including its 3×3 free-spins reveal | No confirmed buy feature for the free spins |
| Medium volatility (in-game rating) with a real 6,750x ceiling | RTP itself is disputed between sources, not just split into confirmed tiers |
| Golden-dice scatter trigger is simple and easy to read | Even the release date isn’t settled |
Verdict
6/10. Dice Show doesn’t do anything the 2019 original didn’t already do — same grid, same ceiling, same wild range, even the same 3×3 free-spins reveal — and it’s still one of the least documented titles in the series, with no confirmed buy price. It’s a perfectly playable restatement of the formula with a dice motif over the top, but there’s little here that isn’t done at least as well, and with better paperwork, elsewhere in the family.

FAQ
Is The Dog House Dice Show a live game show?
No. It’s an RNG video slot you spin like any other, with no dealer, host or live stream involved. Pragmatic Play’s separate live dice game, Dice City, carries no Dog House branding and has nothing to do with this title.
When was The Dog House Dice Show released?
Sources disagree: a StopAndStep franchise timeline gives 10 January 2023, VegasSlotsOnline gives 21 March 2024, and nothing we’ve checked reconciles the two.
What is the RTP of The Dog House Dice Show?
VegasSlotsOnline and SlotsMate list ≈96.51%, while some trackers give 96.55% instead — a disagreement between sources rather than two confirmed casino-configurable versions. Check the game’s own info screen for the figure that applies to you.
What is the max win?
6,750x stake — the same ceiling as the 2019 original, and the lowest confirmed figure among the games reviewed on this site.
Does Dice Show have a buy feature?
Not that we could confirm — none of the sources checked list a buy price for this title, so check the game’s own menu rather than assume one exists.
How do the free spins trigger, and how many spins do I get?
Three golden-dice scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 open the round, then a 3×3 grid of dice spins on its own and reveals your spin count — the same reveal mechanic the 2019 original uses (14 spins in the screenshot we took). Once inside, any wild landing on reels 2, 3 or 4 turns sticky, multiplier included, for the rest of the feature.
Can I play The Dog House Dice Show for free?
Yes — the free-play version runs the identical maths model on play credit. Try it via our free-play demo hub.
