Dead or Alive Slot + Free Play

Dead or Alive

Dead or Alive Slot is one of my personal favourites, and one of the most popular titles ever created by NetEnt. You are the sheriff in a frontier town, and you have some bandits that you need to bring to justice. The wooden reels are set in a dusty western scene and symbols like guns, boots, and shots of whiskey will appear as you spin. This is the game that led NetEnt to create the equally popular Dead or Alive 2 and while it’s top potential of $250k from a single spin is less than the sequel’s, it still stands out as an excellent slot. Find out just how rewarding this game can get by playing the demo for free.

Our Opinion:

I truly believe that Dead or Alive slot deserves its long-lasting popularity. Even by today’s standards, its graphics and animations are impressive, and while there aren’t many bonus features, the free spins round packs plenty of winning action. I especially enjoyed the sticky wilds which helped me land plenty of wins which were doubled, thanks to the multiplier. If you want even more Wild West adventures, saddle up for Gunslinger Reloaded.

RTP and Variance

The game’s RTP is an above-average figure of 96.82%, so your chances of getting a fair return on your bets are theoretically good. The high volatility means bigger wins are in store, but less often, so you might have to spin a few times before landing a big prize.

How to Play Dead or Alive

You can spin, use Autoplay and change your bet with the controls below the reels. This is a straightforward game, so a minimum of 3 matching symbols on a payline is all you need to land a win.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

When you land, bring three or more scatter symbols on the same spin, and you will trigger the free spins round. Land 5 scatters, and you will score a win worth 277.77x your bet.

DOA scatter

You will get 12 free spins, where a 2x multiplier boosts all your wins. Another perk that pops up during free spins is the wild symbols that become sticky wilds when they land. These symbols will stay locked until the last free spin while substituting for any other regular symbol. Sticky wilds also feature in other exciting games like Thunder Screech.

My Dead or Alive 25 Spins Experience

For a 3-minute session, it was action-packed.

Dead or Alive certainly surprised me. Visually, the game was simple, with classic 10-A symbols and some cowboy-themed symbols, including wilds and scatters. For a 3-minute session, it was action-packed. I started with a €4.50 bet. Some decent wins rolled out, tripping up my bet amount, and I decided to up the bet to €7.20 when I hit four scatter symbols, triggering a €180 and 12 free spins. I felt confident going into it, expecting a great win. The 12 free spins ended with a €362.40 win. I knew the challenge was already a success, so I kept the betting amount the same for the remainder of the spins and ended the 25 spins with €274 of profit from my starting amount.

Results:
  • Ended in a profit.
  • Action-packed gameplay.

After the session and thinking back to the gameplay, I liked everything about the game. The mechanics, simple graphics, and engaging gameplay blend into each other, creating a great and rewarding gameplay experience.

Objective:25 spins to maximize my game time and entertainment value. To do this, I adjust my bet sizes/paylines to maximize my playing experience. If I hit any bonus features and walk away with more than I started, that’s a success.

Note:Because the results are always completely random, we use the demo simulation of the game, which mimics the real money experience. We always recommend you start in demo mode to learn and understand the game before you play for real money.
