How to Play Dead or Alive Slot
NetEnt’s Dead or Alive Slot has great graphics and a typical western-inspired soundtrack, whistling, the wind blows, a lonesome dog barking, trust us, you will feel like you’re in the mid-west during a standoff, the soundtrack is very convincing.
Dead or Alive Slot is designed with 5 reels and 9 pay lines. It’s also become a cult favourite due to being a high variance game, much like The Book of Ra Slot. Dead or Alive does not have a bonus game, but is does have the exciting Sticky Wilds. The Dead or Alive video slot also has Free Spins, Scatters and Wilds that will help net you some nice cash winnings.
Set the reels to how to prefer: You can choose to play 1 to 9 win lines, and there are 4 different bet levels. The Minimum bet is at 9 win lines and a 0.01p coin value which will set you back = 0.09p. The Maximum bet at 9 win lines with bet level 4 at 50p which is £18 a spin.
Bonus Rounds and Extras
Dead or Alive Slot has a main Free Spins feature which is definitely one of the biggest appeals of the game. Trigger the free spins round by getting 3 or more of the ‘Gun' scatter symbols, appearing anywhere on the reels.
You will be rewarded with 12 free spins with a 2x multiplier if you do, and if you’re not sure what that means for you, then it means that your win totals are doubled. You will also receive a cash prize ranging from 4 times your stake (3 scatters) to 2,500 times your stake (for 5 scatters) before you start the feature.
Also during the Free Spins game, there’s the Sticky Wild feature which applies. This is where you can win really big so pay attention; The Wild symbols are represented by the ‘Wanted Poster’ and they become sticky wild symbols during the free spins game. They will also hold their position on the reels for the duration of the free spins feature.
Dead or Alive Mobile Slot
Dead or Alive Slot was until recently, only available on desktop but alas, Netent finally adapted the game to be played on all mobiles and tablets because this game is still as popular as it was when it first launched
Summary - What Do We Think?
Prepare to be a bit patient when you’re playing this game as it is considered a high variance casino slot. That means wins are few and far between, but when you win, you invariably win big so be in the mood and position yourself to bet big and win big. Dead or Alive is popular for this reason, as it adds some extra thrills and the ultimate suspense when playing.
Aside from that the game dynamics, the theme of Dead or Alive slot is fun, although we are suckers for anything western themed but we would be surprised if you didn't like it. The animations are brilliant and more jovial than dark, and so is the soundtrack.
