The Big Dawgs

Quite the apt nod to hip hop and the culture surrounding it, the slot takes on actual dogs to represent the big dawgs, much like famous rappers in the genre have been known to do.

Conclusion

The Big Dawgs is a captivating slot with a theme that players can get behind. The hip-hop genre of music is not one that slot providers have explored when making slot titles.

This is one of the few games that achieve this. You have many special features, and the missing scatter is made up for by a second wild that also comes with a multiplier.

A bonus buy feature means you don’t have to wait to enjoy the bonus rounds. Simply up your ante, and you have the bonus round you wish to play.

The Big Dawgs offers many amazing features, but we must point out some missing ones. For instance, the game does not include a gamble feature, which would increase your bet even more.

You also don’t get much in the way of animations. Even so, the game provider makes it fun to spin the reels on this awesome slot.
