Our opinion about Desperate Dawgs

This creation of the provider Yggdrasil remains rather disappointing. It must be said that the online games provider has accustomed us to more original machines. The rather old-fashioned graphics of Desperate Dawgs stand out from the new slots on the market. Its interest lies in its bonus features, especially the one offering free spins with progressive multipliers. The maximum potential of almost 4,000 times the initial bet is also appreciable.
