Christmas Prize Pooch slot review
Christmas Prize Pooch is Inspired Entertainment’s festive follow-up to Perfect Prize Pooch, released in November 2024. It runs on five reels and three rows with 10 win lines, and the whole game is staged as a dog show: any mix of breeds can pay together on a line, and every dog that lands feeds a rosette trail beside the reels. In the free spins, Santa takes over as judge.

How Christmas Prize Pooch plays
Line wins pay from the left. Card ranks fill the lower end, a bowl of kibble and a trophy sit above them, and Santa is the wild. The dogs count as mixed payers, so three different breeds in a row still make one dog win, and five dogs on a line pay 20x the stake.
- Rosette Trail: every dog that lands, part of a win or not, adds a rosette to a 10-stage trail.
- Breed prize: eight or more dogs in view award a separate prize, and the top stages of the Rosette Trail can multiply it by up to 10x.
- Bone-us symbols: the scatters that open the free spins.
The Dog Show free spins
Three or more Bone-us symbols start the Dog Show free spins, with 10, 15 or 20 spins for three, four or five scatters. Each time Santa lands, he collects the cash values on the dogs in view and steps along the Santa trail.
The trail is split into three levels. Finishing a level adds 10 more spins and raises the multiplier on dog wins, from 2x to 3x and then to 10x, so the round can grow well beyond its opening count. How far Santa gets is down to chance.
