Dead or Alive 2 Online Slot Description

Players loading the game for the first time will probably have a hard time imagining how a rather simple looking slot can deliver such big wins and will probably question how Dead or Alive II was able to achieve its cult status. The scenery is taking you to a typical Wild West town with wooden houses flanking the dirt road meandering its way towards the rock formations in the background. The typical Western soundtrack complements the reel and win noises while the five outlaws are making an appearance as wild symbols.

The 5×3 game grid with 9 fixed pay lines is held by wooden poles that were usually used for building a gibbet. Before starting the shoot-out, you will need to select a bet size from 0.09 to 18 credits per spin (up to 45 credits at some casinos). The math model comes with medium to high volatility and an RTP of 96.80%, very much identical to the original Dead or Alive slot.

The pay symbol set has undergone a makeover but otherwise remained unchanged. At the low end you will find 9s through to As, followed by a whiskey glass with a bottle, a pair of cowboy boots, a cowboy hat, a holster with a handgun and a sheriff star. Hitting five on a line will yield 2.77x to 111.11x your stake. The wild symbols are the five characters, each appearing on his/her own reel – Apache the Kid on reel 1, Della Rose on reel 2, Jesse James on reel 3, Belle Star on reel 4 and Billy the Kid on reel 5. Hitting five on a line in the base game pays 166.66x bet. A pair of colts act as the scatter, awarding a massive 2,500x total stake when five land on the reels.

Dead or Alive Gameplay and Features

The base game is not overly exciting and might even get boring after a while as the magic on Dead or Alive II is to the largest part in the free spins round. Hitting three or more scatter anywhere on the reels will grant you entrance to the feature selector with three options. The game will lead you to a second screen, displaying the three options with medium, high and very high volatility from left to right

• Train Heist Free Spins: Will get you 12 free spins with an 1x starting multiplier. Every wild landing will increase it by 1x while reaching 16x will retrigger once +5 extra spins.
• Old Saloon Free Spins: Identical round as on the original Dead or Alive slot. You will get 12 free spins with a 2x multiplier. Any wild landing will stay sticky for the remainder of the feature. Hitting a wild on each of the five reels will award once +5 extra spins while lining up five wilds will get you the coveted sticky Wild Line, paying 333.33x your stake on each free spin.
• High Noon Saloon Free Spins: Also comes with 12 free spins but initially no win multipliers. Any wilds landing will become sticky and hitting two or three on a reel will turn them into 2x and 3x multiplier wilds respectively. More than one will be multiplied by each other. Five extra spins will be awarded once when at least one wild lands on each of the five reels.
