Dead or Alive 2

Dead or Alive 2 picks up NetEnt's decade-old original and turns it into a present-tense sequel — the same core mechanics and outlaw-town backdrop at sunset, but this time built around a choice of three separate free-spin games instead of just one.

The reel layout stays at 5x3 with nine paylines, RTP is listed at 96.8%, hit frequency runs at 29.80%, and the maximum win reaches 111,111x the stake — bets are placed between 0.09 and 18 per spin, with volatility rated high throughout.

Card values from 10 to A make up the regular paytable, updated with sharper artwork than the original, alongside whisky bottles, boots, hats and revolvers as the mid-tier symbols. Sheriff badges top the regular paytable, paying 100x the stake for five matching across a full payline. Five different outlaw characters double as the wild symbol, substituting for everything except the scatter, and landing five scatters in the base game pays a flat 2,500x the stake on the spot.

Three or more scatters open the Free Spins round, which can also be reached directly through a feature-buy option costing roughly 66x the stake — that buy guarantees scatters on the first three reels with a chance at all five. However the round is reached, players then choose between three different free-spin games. Old Saloon plays closest to the original: every win pays double, wilds lock into place for the rest of the round once they land, and covering all five reels with outlaw wilds adds five extra spins. Train Heist instead builds a rising multiplier — each wild that lands adds one to the multiplier and one extra spin to the counter, and reaching a 16x multiplier awards five further free spins outright. High Noon is the most volatile of the three: wilds still lock in place as they do in Old Saloon, but landing more than one on the same reel multiplies their values together, so two wilds on a reel become a 2x multiplier and three become 3x, and so on — it's this mode that carries the game's headline six-figure win ceiling.
