Angry Dogs

Angry Dogs Overview

GameArt invites players to a dodgy back alley in an urban neighbourhood to meet the worst dogs in the area in this new game. If you’re looking for fun, friendly spins, this might not be the game for you. However, if you are looking for an exhilarating game with a thrilling narrative at its core, stick around. Regarding the game’s mechanics, this is a five-reel, three-row game with 25 pay lines available. The RTP here is 96.36%, and the max payout is a hefty 50,000x the stake. This game is available to play on mobile, tablet and desktop.

The features here begin with the mystery doghouse, which uses stacked symbols that occupy entire reels. This feature leads to the reveal feature, which brings either golden bulldogs or paying symbols into mystery positions. Golden Bulldogs equal a golden reveal which results in added scatters or a bet multiplier. This game also has a complex free spins game and a wild feature that helps boost the playing experience significantly.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game feels like it would be more in the wheelhouse of the NoLimit City studio as it is aggressive, visceral and fairly repugnant in its aesthetic. The dogs, rather than just being normal images, are grotesque caricatures with swollen heads and accentuated teeth that give each dog a menacing and disturbing quality. The whole look of this slot is very gritty and scummy, which, although it may appeal to some gamers, might alienate some of the more mainstream slot players. If you are into relaxing slots, maybe give this one a miss.
The background for this game is the alley where these terrifying canines must meet, tearing small creatures apart and making an awful din with their howling and barking. To the left and right of the reels are walls covered in graffiti and wanted posters bearing some of the images of the dogs on the reels. The setting brings to mind the inner-city alleyways of some of New York’s poorer neighbourhoods or any big city.
The playing board is a simple rectangle with no real edges or structure.
The symbols for Angry Dogs are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying symbols comprise the dog food bowl, the bone, the can of dog food and the steak. The steak is the most valuable of these, paying out at 2x the stake for the top combination. On the other hand, the more valuable symbols are the chihuahua, the Jack Russel, the corgi, and the bull terrier. The bull terrier is the most valuable of these symbols, paying out at 20x the stake. The specials for Angry Dogs are the golden bulldog special, the mystery doghouse icon, the bonus scatter, and the wild, which also pays out.

Features

The first feature in this game is the reveal feature. First, you need to know that mystery doghouses are the mystery symbols in this game. They will appear in stacks and trigger the feature when there are enough of them on the board. These symbols will then reveal either a paying symbol (in which case a payout calculation is triggered) or golden bulldog symbols. The golden bulldogs then transform into either scatters or multipliers. The most rewarding multiplier available is worth 2,500x the stake.
The other main feature here is the free spins feature. This feature is activated by landing multiple dog collar scatters on the reels at the same time. Having triggered the feature, you are then given the option of various free spins rounds, each with a different size attached multiplier.
The free spins begin with reels two and four filled with mystery doghouse symbols. Each time the reels spin, the attached multiplier grows by 1x, and the mystery symbols nudge down one space. The spins continue for as long as mystery symbols remain on the reels.
Wilds also help by substituting for other symbols, giving players more chances to win from the same spin. They are also worth up to 40x the stake for the top combination.

Conclusion

Intense, exciting, yet slightly disturbing, this game is anything but dull. As slots go, this is one of the more unusual. However, it doesn’t stop it from being quite rewarding, especially considering the great features. The top pay out is also very impressive, and with the RTP and volatility where it is, this promises to be a pretty lucrative game.
