Pragmatic Play · 2025
A 5x3 video slot with 20 fixed paylines and high volatility, Lobster House comes from Pragmatic Play. This page lays out its figures before your first spin.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Five reels, three rows and 20 fixed paylines make up Lobster House, a video slot with Animals and Tropical themes. Wins pay from left to right, and three matching symbols on a payline is the fewest that pay. The lobster in sunglasses holding a pearl is the top-pay symbol. The reels also show a tropical cocktail, a pink popsicle and the A, K, Q and J cards.
Nine clam shells open before the free spins start, and each shell reveals 1 to 3 spins. Wilds on reels 2 to 4 stay sticky for the round with a 2x or 3x multiplier. The free spins cannot be retriggered, so the award is set at the start. A rare respin shifts the bonus-carrying reels down and respins the missing one.

Lobster House guide
You will know how one spin runs from bet to payout, and when Free Spins start.
A$0.20 to A$240 is the bet range, and the paytable shows prizes for A$1. A BONUS 3-of-a-kind pays 5x your total bet, so a higher stake raises that prize too.
5 reels and 3 rows make 20 fixed paylines that pay from left to right. A line needs 3 matching symbols to pay, and each payline is scored on its own.
2x or 3x multipliers attach to Wilds on reels 2 to 4 each spin. Two Wilds on one payline add their multipliers, so that line pays more.
3 BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 start Free Spins, with 9 clam shells opening first. Sticky Wilds on reels 2 to 4 keep their multiplier for the round.
A$1 is the bet the paytable uses, and every spin draws that amount from your balance. Set a loss limit before the first spin, and stop when it is reached.

Spin before you stake
The most common worry is spending money before knowing how the rounds work.
A$0 is what the demo costs, and it pays nothing at all. The real game needs a Palmerbet Casino account and the legal age of 18+.
Play for real96.51 is the RTP of Lobster House, and it describes the return over a long run, not the outcome of the next spin. How often the Free Spins round comes is not known in advance, and nobody can predict it from the rules. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP.
1 RTP version is listed for Lobster House. Which version a game runs is shown only in the game rules, so read that section before the first spin. The return figure only applies to the version named there.
x4,000 is the maximum win multiplier for Lobster House, and it is a ceiling that is reached very rarely. A ceiling tells you the limit of the game, not how close a session will come to it. Nobody can plan a session around reaching it, and the result of a single spin says nothing about the next one.

Six answers ahead
The worry most players bring to the first spin is how much they can lose and win.
Yes, Lobster House lets you buy the bonus. Buy Free Spins costs 100 times the total bet, which is A$500 at the A$5 example bet. Buy Super Free Spins costs 400 times the total bet and draws its wild multipliers from a 15x or 25x pool.
Lobster House runs one RTP version, 96.51%, based on A$100 staked. RTP is the share of stakes the game returns to players over a very long run, not a promise for any one session. A higher RTP does not make a single session safer.
Volatility on Lobster House is high. Wins tend to come less often than in low volatility games, but they can be larger when they land. The game cannot tell you in advance when a big win will come.
The maximum win is 4,000 times the bet. At the A$5 example bet that is A$20,000, and at the highest bet of A$240 it reaches A$960,000. Nobody can say in advance whether a session reaches that ceiling.
Three BONUS symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 trigger Free Spins. Nine clam shells open first, each revealing 1 to 3 spins, for 9 to 27 in total. Wilds on reels 2 to 4 turn sticky and keep their multiplier, but the round cannot be retriggered.
Start at the minimum stake of A$0.20 a spin to test the game before you raise your bet. The paytable is built on A$1 bets, so use that figure to compare payouts. Bets run from A$0.20 up to A$240 a spin.
