Hound Hotel

Things to do near Hound Hotel

It's time for a visit to the ”dog hotel”, where a bunch of well-to-do dogs have decided to spend their vacation. Developer Microgaming has recently released a series of slot machines with roughly the same design and layout, and Hound Hotel is strongly reminiscent of Kitty Cabana – except that here we are dealing with dogs instead of cats. It's a pretty charming gaming experience that's sure to suit all dog lovers out there-and we know there are plenty of those!

Arrangements and interventions

Like moderna slots, Hound Hotel is made up of 5 reels and 3 rows. Here Microgaming has chosen to use 25 paylines that run from left to right in different patterns. The paylines are fixed, so there is no option to choose how many you want to activate.

Of course, however, you have the option of setting your bet in other ways. By clicking on "BET” (or "Bet") at the bottom of the game screen, you will get a menu where you can set the coin value and how many coins you want to play with per Payline. You can also simply click on the Plus and minus signs to change the bet. The minimum bet in Hound Hotel is$2.50 onor and the maximum bet is$375 Onor.

Wins

As I said, the game has 25 paylines, and it is along these that you will get matching symbols to win. Your symbol combinations should start on the left reel and go to the right to bring profit. Generally, 3 or more symbols of the same type are used for you to win, but there are a couple of exceptions such as scatters and combinations with wild symbols. We will return to these a little later.

If we look at the standard symbols in the game, there are two main categories – dogs and card symbols (a, K, q, J). The dogs are the ones that give the biggest winnings in general, and the best in this context is the robe-clad St. Bernard dog that can give 18 times the line bet. You can easily check out the different symbols and their winnings by taking out the paytable on the far right of the game screen. The biggest win in the game is 110,000 coins.

Symbols and functions

Wild symbols
The symbol with the game logo is the wild symbol. These symbols can also be called jokers, and have the ability to substitute for other symbols and thus give you better chances of winning. Wilds can substitute for all symbols with the exception of scatters. In The Hound Hotel you will find so-called stacked wilds, which means that they can sit together 3 and 3. In addition to being able to substitute for other symbols, wilds can bring winnings on their own – up to 20 times the line bet.

Fast wilds
In non-winning Game rounds, the ”quick wilds " feature can be activated. Then 3 wild symbols are randomly placed on the screen and you get a second chance to win.

Scatter symbols
The game's scatter symbol is represented by a chihuahua. This$abat can give you winnings regardless of how the symbols are placed on the screen – they do not have to lie along any Payline. 2 or more scatters will give you a win, and you can win up to 100 times the total bet, or up to$37,500 onor. If you get 3 or more scatters, the bonus feature is also activated:

Hound Hotel-bonus
Here you are transferred to a cross section of the hotel where you see three different floors. On each floor you should open one door. Behind the doors are various variables that determine how many free spins you will get, what multiplier you will play with and what special feature the wild symbol will get. A pretty fun system where you can get really$aftfull free spins with really increased winnings.

Graphics and sound

We have already touched on the fact that Hound Hotel is very similar to the game Kitty Cabana from the same developer, and even on the graphic front, the similarities are striking. We talk nicely hand-drawn dogs that live the good life in a nicer hotel, with cigars, brandy and other goodies. When you win, nice animations appear that make the dogs come to life. There's not much to complain about – it's a neat game, while it may not be entirely unique.

Music and background sounds are also well made. The background sound consists of a pleasant murmur with tinkling slot machines, and when you win something or activate the bonus round, there are some nice jazzy tones that indicate that something extra interesting is going on.

Summary

If the idea of dogs living the good life at what appears to be a British luxury hotel appeals to you – then just spin away. Hound Hotel is a well – made and stylish slot machine that offers everything you would expect from a modern game from Microgaming-wilds, scatters, bonus games and some other interesting features. It may not be the most unique gaming experience out there, but it's really a finding rather than a complaint on our part. Overall, Hound Hotel is a really well-crafted experience that will get a large audience among dog-loving casino fans.
