Dead or Alive 2 Slot

Ride the 5 reels of fortune onto wins of over 100,000 times your stake, thanks to NetEnt’s MAX concept, making it the biggest haul possible in any slot game that is not a progressive machine. This and other great wins come compliments of 3 separate free spin bonus features.

Theme and Background of Dead or Alive 2

Dead or Alive 2 is a Western-themed online slot that is staged around a gang of outlaws, who seem to be facing the might of the law in a small village in the West. The likes of Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Apache Kid, Belle, and Della rock the reels as the 5 Wild symbols. Each promises mighty high rewards if you come to their aid.

The base game is played out on the dusty streets of a traditional Western Town in the Southern States of America. The well-known Western musical theme sets the tone and bolsters the game setting. A storm is rolling in, in more ways than one, so listen out for the thunder approaching. Roll the reels to hear the galloping of hooves and hope for a gunshot to ring out, as this means you’ve won something. The visuals and sounds are exactly what you expect of Net Entertainment – they’re impeccable.

The reels form the focal point of the game, and aside from the Wild symbols boast some other fine icons too, including 10 to A, as the low paying icons, and an array of other thematic symbols, like whiskey bottles, boots, Stetsons, and a badge with guns icon. These make up the higher paying tiles.

Game Mechanics of Dead or Alive 2

The game is played out over a 5 reel format with the classic 9 paylines that was offered by the slot’s predecessor. Wins are made by landing 3 or more matching symbols on one of the payline patterns from the leftmost reel to right. Different symbols and combination have unique values, which are multiplied by your stake to award a win. Your total stake playable in the game is 0.09 and 9 per spin. 

For ease of player and gambling convenience, NetEnt offers the standard AutoPlay feature, which allows you to multi-task, if you cannot give the game all of your attention. Set the machine to spin a select number of rolls while you catch up on your twitter feed, or have dinner with your family.

Slot Features of Dead or Alive 2

It’s the bonus features in this slot where NetEnt truly shine. If you are lucky enough to trigger the bonus game by landing 3 scatter icons anywhere on the reels, you will have the pleasure of being able to choose from one of three special free spin rounds in the game. Each game has its own features with a unique variance level.

The Train Heist Spins involve Wild multipliers during the free spins. With each Wild that lands, the multiplier applied to the icons will increase by 1 and you will be given an extra free spin towards the tally. Should you manage to rack up a 16x multiplier, you will be awarded an extra 5 free spins.

The Old Saloon feature will double all your takings won in the feature. Should you land wild in the round, then they will stick in place for the remainder of the bonus to help rake in the riches.

High Noon Free spin is the most volatile of all the bonuses offered in this game, but is also the most rewarding by far, if you land the right combos. The Wilds have multiplying magic powers in this slot too, but in this case have the ability to rack up over 100,000 times your stake in wins, thanks to the NetEnt MAX concept. At the time of writing, this is the highest static jackpot in the world.

A Final Word on Dead or Alive 2

If you are a fan of Dead or Alive, you must try its sequel. It is offered in HTML 5 format, which means you can play it on your mobile device with ease.

The game is highly volatile but does offer a rewarding 96.8% RTP. So although big wins are possible on these reels, they won’t come around all too often. Seek to unlock the magic in the bonus feature rounds, as this is where the treasure vault is hidden in this title.
