Deadly 5

Theme & Storyline

The playing field of Deadly 5 is located in the middle of a deserted street in a typical Wild West village. A saloon can be seen on the left side of the screen and several typical wooden houses from the Wild West can be recognized.

Although the design of Deadly 5 looks fine, it is not special. The fact that the village is deserted makes it look a bit boring. Perhaps all the inhabitants are too afraid to come out because the “Deadly 5” appear as symbols on the reels. This makes sense, since these wanted villains are very dangerous.

About the soundtrack of Deadly 5 you can say the same as about the visual part of the design. It’s not bad, but it is anything but special.

Technical Details

Both the base game and the free spins feature of Deadly 5 are played on a 5-reel playing field, each consisting of 4 symbols.

The online casino minimum bet is $0.10 and the maximum bet is $100 per spin. The RTP is set at 96.39%, which is of course an excellent percentage, but there is also a version of Deadly 5 with an RTP of 88.29%.

So pay close attention to that before you start playing this slot. Furthermore, the variance is average and you can win up to 5,000 times your stake.

Features

Although Push Gaming is nevertheless known for their innovations and creativity, we can’t say that they took advantage of those qualities when developing the features of Deadly 5. Basically everything revolves around the Sheriff’s Bonus feature. In the base game, the main thing to look out for is the Sheriff’s Badge wild.

Sheriff’s Badge wild

The Sheriff’s Badge wild functions logically in Deadly 5 as a wild, which of course means that you can use the symbol as a joker.

It can take the form of any pay symbols in the game, allowing you to use it to complete or extend winning combinations. However, wilds by themselves can also form a winning combination.

In fact, they are even the best paying symbols. A winning combination consisting of 5 wilds will yield a payout of 250 times the bet.

Help the sheriff catch the trigger-happy villains and be richly rewarded!

Deadly 5 free spins

The main feature in Deadly 5 can be unlocked by spinning at least 3 scatters in the base game.

• 3 scatters trigger 10 free spins: instant payout worth 3 times the stake.
• 4 scatters deliver 15 free spins: direct payout worth 10 times the stake.
• 5 scatters deliver 20 free spins: direct payout worth 50 times the stake.

During these free spins, a Sheriff’s Badge wild can be seen on the rightmost reel each spin. However, this is not just any wild, as this wild symbol covers the entire size of the reel.

In addition, all high paying symbols in Deadly 5 are expanding during the free spins feature. You will have noticed that above the reels “Wanted” poster can be seen. Each of these “Wanted” posters corresponds to 1 of the villains that appear as high pay symbols on the playing field.

If such a high pay symbol lands on the reel with its own “Wanted” poster, it expands to the total size of the reel. Subsequently, it then turns into a wild as well. These wilds, like the Sheriff’s Badge wild on reel 5 is, are not sticky. The expanding symbols do, of course, increase your chances of getting hefty combinations.

Final Verdict

You certainly can’t say that Deadly 5 deserves an originality award. Push Gaming has largely chosen to merge various elements of successful slot machines from the past.

It therefore delivers a more than fine slot machine, which is very entertaining to play. The free spins feature with high pay symbols that expand when they land on the right reel is, we think, a very nice feature.

In terms of statistics, Deadly 5 also scores more than fine.
