If you’re looking for an uplifting, carefree kind of online slot game to play, you may want to check out Wonder Hounds. This title is brought to you by software provider NextGen Gaming and clearly, it centers on dogs as its theme – and what kind of canine themed game worth its’ salt wouldn’t make you want you to melt away in doggy heaven without a care in the world? The cheerful soundtrack that will accompany gameplay is great, and the graphics are of top quality, too, which makes the whole gaming experience very enjoyable. Furthermore, there’s a really peaceful, relaxing backdrop picturing a sunny autumn day in the great outdoors. Notice also the animated leaves swaying under the influence of a mild breeze.
The layout in Wonder Hounds is quite basic, featuring 5 reels and 3 rows. There are 25 paylines for you to place your bets on and these are fixed, so you won’t have the ability to regulate them at all. This also affects the betting range, which is, by the way, quite a large one for a NextGen offering. It starts at a minimum bet of 25p per single spin and it reaches a maximum bet which will set you back a total of £250 per spin.
Special Features
The Wonderhounds Gone Wild feature is randomly triggered. It can take place at any point in the game, and as a result any of the Wonder Hound symbols can turn into a Wild. In fact, even all three of them can be Wilds during any given spin. The only restriction is that it’s limited to one symbol per reel.
Wild
The Wild symbol in this title offers the highest payouts if you compare to any of the other icons. In addition, it can land in just about any position, anywhere on the five reels, and on top of that, the Wild will also be able to substitute for any of the other symbols on the reels. Hence, it can help complete winning combinations and thus boost your winnings. The only symbol the Wild will not be able to replace is the game’s Scatter.
Golden Paw Scatter
The Freespins feature is this slot’s main attraction, and you will have the opportunity to access it by landing a minimum of 3 Scatter symbols simultaneously anywhere in view. 3 Scatters will award you 8 free spins, whereas if you triggered the feature with 4 Scatters, you will benefit form 12 free spins. If you land all 5 Scatter symbols during the same spin you will receive the maximum of 15 free spins.
Furthermore, you can receive anywhere from 1 to 15 extra Wilds at the beginning of the feature, and any Wilds that appear in this bonus game will remain on the screen for the duration of the free spins. The downside here, however, is the fact that you won’t have the opportunity to retrigger this bonus round.

Verdict
Wonder Hounds is a pleasant online slot game, boasting both smooth visuals and smooth gameplay. Don’t let the cute pooches fool you, though, as this is a fairly volatile offering. As a matter of fact, prizes can soar up to a whopping 6,000 times your stake on any given spin.
