Dog House Megaways: Enhanced RTP and how it manifests in the game

Last week I wrote about Sweet Bonanza with enhanced RTP, and my thoughts about the game and how the enhanced RTP is noticed in the game. Todays article is the second one in the series about Pragmatic Play’s games with enhanced RTP.

Pragmatic Play is one of my absolute favourites among iGaming providers, so I just had to make a deposit and try these games. At the casino, there was no further explanation about how the enhanced RTP had been implemented, just that RTP now was set at 99% (normally the RTP for these games is 95-96%).

What I wanted to see was:

• Is the enhanced RTP noticable
• How is it implemented
• Does it increase the winning overall, or just in the base game (alt free spins)

To find the answers to these points I played each game for between 2-3 hours and recorded all of it. In this post, I will go through one of the games and give my opinion on it. The other games will each get their own article. It should be noted that I have not done any more extensive testing than playing the games and comparing them to their originals.

In addition, these games are exclusive to Stake casino. If you want to try these games and don’t have an account already, you can register one here: Stake

Dog Mansion Megaways

Dog Mansion Megaways is, as you can probably guess, a remake of Pragmatic Play’s popular game Dog House Megaways. The only real difference optically (I could find) from the original, is that the Rottweiler has a hat and a cigar.

Unlike Sweet Fiesta, my impression is that the wins are more frequent and larger in the base game in Dog Mansion compared to the original game. Free spins are rarer and have a higher volatility in the enhanced RTP game as well, in my experience.

In the video below you can see an example of a win in the base game.

My experience from playing this game is that the original game gives free spins more frequently and the wins from those are larger. This game, however, gives more frequent and larger wins in the base game. Additionally, the original game has a max win at 12 000 times your bet, while the max win at Dog Mansion Megaways is capped at 18 058 times the bet. This makes both the RTP and the highest potential win better at Dog Mansion Megaways than for the original game.

The video below shows various wins both in base game and free spins.

As you can see from the video, larger wins are more frequent in the base game in this game compared to the original. Granted that most wins aren’t huge by any means, but it would be unreasonable to expect both wins that are more frequent at the same time as they are really big wins.

My conclusions for this game are as follows:

• The enhanced RTP is noticeable, but it also depends on your gaming style. Playing the way I do, you will notice more frequent and larger wins in the base game and less frequent free spins. Overall I also think that the wins from free spins are lower on average compared to the original game.

• It seems that the enhanced RTP mainly is implemented in the base game, and free spins seem to be both less frequent.

I personally believe that playing this game for profit is much riskier than playing Sweet Fiesta, however, this game has a higher potential max win.
