How to Play Lobster House

1. Set your bet between AUD 0.20 and AUD 240 using the +/- controls.
2. Spin the 5×3 grid. Wins form left-to-right across the 20 fixed paylines.
3. In the base game, look for wild coconut drinks on reels 2, 3 and 4 — each carries a random x2 or x3 multiplier.
4. Multiple wild multipliers on the same winning line are added (e.g. x2 + x3 = x5 total).
5. Land 3 pearl scatters to award 5x your bet + open the 9-clam reveal: each clam reveals 1, 2 or 3, totalled into 9 to 27 free spins.
6. During free spins, all wild multipliers stick on the grid for the entire round.
7. Feature Buy: 100x bet for standard free spins, or 400x bet for Super Free Spins (x15/x25 multipliers).

Paytable

Wild = Coconut Drink (reels 2-4 only) — substitutes for all symbols except scatter.

Bonus Round Mechanics

Wild Multipliers (Base Game)

Multiple multipliers on the same line are added together (e.g. x2 + x3 = x5 total).

Free Spins (Shell Reveal + Sticky Wilds)

Land 3 Pearl scatters = +5x bet payout + bonus triggered. 9 clams then open before the round starts, each revealing 1, 2 or 3 free spins — totalled into 9 to 27 spins.

All wilds are sticky for the duration. Multiple multipliers on a single line are added together.

Our Verdict

After a documented 1,000-spin test session at AUD 0.40 per spin, Lobster House earned an 8.0/10 rating. Make no mistake — this is The Dog House with a beach skin. The grid, paylines, sticky-wild mechanic and 9-clam reveal are 1:1 copies of Pragmatic Play's 2019 cash cow.

Where Lobster House differs is in the max win cap (4,000x vs The Dog House's 6,750x) and the addition of a Super Free Spins Feature Buy at 400x, which inflates wild multipliers to x15 or x25. That premium buy is the main draw for thrill-seekers — but it's mathematically not great value since the 4,000x cap means you can win at most 10x your buy-in.

The sticky wild multipliers are the heart of the experience. When two x3 multis stick on the same line in free spins, watch the screen erupt — that's when Lobster House really pops.

⚠️ Pragmatic Play licenses 96.51%, 95.51% and 94.50% RTP versions. Always check the in-game info panel before depositing AUD or NZD.

Our Test Session

Our 1,000-Spin Test Session — AUD 0.40 per spin

Result ran hot of published math thanks to one well-stacked free-spin round where two x3 sticky wilds combined on a Red Lobster line. Full screenshot log available on request.

Tips & Strategy

• The 9-clam reveal is purely random — you cannot influence the number of free spins awarded
• Sticky wild multipliers are the only way to access the 4,000x max win — aim for free-spin rounds where 2+ wilds stick early
• The Super Free Spins buy (400x) is mathematically the worst value buy because the 4,000x max cap limits your upside to 10x outlay
• Standard Feature Buy (100x) is fairer — RTP holds at 96.51% on the buy
• Stick to flat bets — High volatility means dry stretches of 30-50 spins
• Avoid grey-market 94.50% RTP versions
• Demo first — if you played The Dog House, you already know exactly what to expect

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RTP of Lobster House?

Lobster House has a theoretical RTP of 96.51% on the top configuration. Pragmatic Play also licenses alternative versions at 95.51% and 94.50%, so always check the in-game info panel before depositing in AUD or NZD.

What is the max win in Lobster House?

The maximum win is capped at 4,000x your stake. This is 38% lower than the original The Dog House (6,750x). The max win is typically achieved via stacked sticky wild multipliers during free spins, especially in the Super Free Spins round.

Can I play Lobster House for free in Australia?

Yes. The free demo version is available on this page with no registration, no deposit and no download required. Demo mode uses fun credits only — no real winnings are payable.

Is Lobster House the same as The Dog House?

Mechanically, Lobster House is a beach-themed remake of the 2019 hit The Dog House. The grid (5×3), paylines (20), sticky wild multipliers on reels 2-4, 9-clam free-spin reveal and core math are all the same. The differences are a lower max win cap (4,000x vs 6,750x) and a new Super Free Spins Feature Buy at 400x bet with x15/x25 wild multipliers.

How does the 9-clam reveal work in Lobster House?

When you land 3 pearl scatters and trigger free spins, 9 clam symbols appear on screen. Each clam opens to reveal a number — 1, 2 or 3. The total of all 9 clams determines how many free spins you receive: minimum 9 (all 1s) and maximum 27 (all 3s). Average is around 18 free spins.

Does Lobster House have a Bonus Buy / Feature Buy?

Yes — two options. Buy the standard Free Spins round for 100x your bet, or buy Super Free Spins (with x15 or x25 wild multipliers) for 400x your bet. The 400x buy is mathematically lower-value because the 4,000x max-win cap limits your maximum return to 10x outlay.

What is the volatility of Lobster House?

Volatility is rated High. The base-game hit frequency is approximately 1 in 4.1 spins, while the free-spin feature triggers roughly once every 200-220 spins. Expect dry stretches between feature hits.
