We have entered the Chinese Year of the Dog, and to celebrate, NextGen have released a game based on everyone’s favourite canine friends.Wonder Hounds is loosely based on the Year of the Dog itself, and has a charming style and entertaining tone that it matched only by the tempting gameplay features on offer.
About the slot
A five-reel, 25 payline slot, playable from 25p to £250 a spin on all compatible desktop mobile, and tablet devices, a park stands in the background of this cartoon-like design concept, with the reels having various themed symbols, including the three dog heroes of the story, Ace, Jinse, and Winchester.Dog bowls, bones, and more make up the rest of the higher value while the go-to filler symbols of 10, J, Q, K, and A make up the lower values, as they tend to do.Not the most visually striking slot we’ve ever seen, perhaps, but one that has a nice, playful feel to it and just feels generally lovely.
Gameplay
Lovely or otherwise, good features are vital, and there’s a few to discover with Wonder Hounds.The wild will replace all symbols but the scatter, and pay 16x your stake for five in a payline, making it the highest value symbol.The Wonderhounds Gone Wild feature sees hounds go randomly wild in the base game, to help with wins, but it’s the free spins game that matters. With eight, 12, or 15 spins along with four, 15, or 100 times your stake for three, four, or five scatters, and up to 15 sticky wilds that stay for the entire feature, with the ability to land more as it goes on, there’s the opportunity to win real big here.Wonder Hounds is a fun slot that is well worth a look, especially if you’re a dog fan.
