‘Pug Life’ is another example of a well-executed game from Hacksaw Gaming in terms of theme, music and mechanics.
Slot Features:
Treat Yo’self
In addition, if 3 Treats land anywhere in view in the base game, the Treat Yo’self bonus round is triggered. The triggering Treat symbols are locked and carry over to the bonus round. During this feature, Treats are sticky and reveal a multiplier on each spin depending on their type. A total of 5 free spins are initially awarded, but each Treat that lands awards +1 extra free spin.
The Dawg’s Den
Another symbol to cover is the Dawg’s Den scatter. Hitting three or more of them triggers The Dawg’s Den feature. These scatters reveal a three or a four; the total number equates to the number of free spins bestowed. In this feature, no wins are awarded until the end. Instead, the value of all winning combinations is stored at the top of the reels, along with the sum of any landed Treat multipliers. When spins end, the total win is multiplied by the total multiplier and awarded. One more symbol to be aware of is the sticky Toaster, which appears on reels 4 or 5 in this feature. Toasters lock in place until the round ends and act as wilds.
They also reveal a monetary amount or a multiplier, which is added to the running totals. Toaster multipliers can have multipliers of x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, x15, x20, x25, x50, or x100, or monetary values of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, or 100 times the bet. Finally, landing extra Dawg’s Den symbols awards a random number of additional free spins.

Summary:
I’ve repeatedly gone to war with the Super Dawg’s Den bonus when playing Pug Life, and I highly recommend a few buys.
If you’re lucky enough to get a few toasters landing on the reels while you have spins left, you’re on track to get a big hit at the end of the bonus, if the wins and multi’s are kind during.
However, like all Hacksaw games, you have to be careful of each feature’s costs and play within your balance.
