Similar to the original, Dead or Alive 2 features 5 reels and 9 paylines. It is playable across desktop and mobile devices and accepts bets in the range 0.09- £9 per spin. This is a high variance slot that comes with stunning graphics that have become a NetEnt’s trademark. The original Dead or Alive was released in the distant 2009. Therefore, it is no longer on par with the contemporary video slots as far as graphics are concerned. That being said, we consider the DoA graphics better than the design struggles of some of today’s studios.
The symbols you will see on the reels include A to 10 royals as well as better-paying guns, whiskey bottles, cowboy hats and boots, and a sheriff badge with the latter being the highest paying among them.
The slot comes with 5 wild symbols – the Apache the Kid, the Della Rose, the Jesse James, the Belle Star, and Billy the Kid, appearing on reels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
Demo Play Video
Here’s what we won and lost at our first Demo play.
Free Spins
The Dead or Alive 2 is all about the free spins features. Land 3 scatters anywhere on the reels to trigger one of the 3 free spins features. Depending on the volatility, you will have the chance to trigger different features.
Train Heist Free Spins feature – the lowest variance option
Old Saloon Free Spins – the medium variance option
High Noon Saloon Free Spins feature – the highest variance option. You can benefit from sticky wilds, and multipliers. If you land one or more wilds on the same spin, they are multiplied by each other’s value.
Bottom Line
The Dead or Alive is a cult slot, but the sequel offers much more exciting gameplay, while sticking to the specific features that made the original so popular.
The highest volatility free spins option gives you the chance to win the mind-blowing 40,500 times your stake. All in all, the Dead or Alive and the Dead or Alive 2 remain two of the most iconic wild west-themed titles and we do recommend them as slots well worth a spin.
