Dead or Alive is a Wild West-themed video slot which features 5 reels and 9 paylines. This slot game will take you back to the 20th century and it is all thanks to NetEnt who created the game. This is a pretty basic slot, but it still offers truly impressive visual and audio effects. The reels are set against the western landscape with the storm rolling in, and with lightning flashing in the sky. Ride straight into any NetEnt Casino to play for real, or spin the reels for fun here at our page.

How to Play Dead or Alive Slot

Before you saddle up, and head to your very own western adventure, you need to set your bets, and it can be done in the following way:

  • You can increase or decrease your bets by hitting +/- buttons on Coin Value and Lines.
  • If you want a quicker way to set the maximum possible bet, you can do so by hitting the Max Bet button.
  • Play will set the reels in motion once you decide on your betting range.
  • Once you get tired of hitting that spin button constantly, you can hit Autoplay and choose the number of automatic spins.

Slot Features

The Dead or Alive slot is not something you would call an action packed slot, but it still has a couple of interesting features to keep your attention while you’re spinning those reels.

Wanted Poster symbol is the Wild in the game, and it can substitute for all the symbols in the game except for the Scatter. Wild can also form wins on its own when you land 3 or more of them on an active pay line.

Sticky Wild

Sticky Wilds can appear during the Free Spins feature. Once they land on the reels, they will remain locked in the position they are at, till the Free Spins feature ends. Sticky Wilds act the same way as the regular Wild, and it can replace for all the symbols in the game except for the Scatter. If one or more Sticky Wilds appear on the reels during the Free Spins feature they will activate extra 5 Free Spins.

Free Spins

Pistols are the Scatter symbol, and if you land 3 or more of them anywhere on the reels, you will trigger the Free Spins feature, and you will be awarded with 12 spins. All wins that you land during the feature will be multiplied by 2. This feature can be retriggered only once per Free Spins session.

Summary

With the RTP of 96.8% the Dead or Alive slot will have you chase after the most wanted bandits till you net some nice wins. With various betting options and a number of game settings this slot is definitely worth a spin.

Dead or alive it is probably and very likely on of the most known online slot games. Not only across Netent games, since creator is Netent, but across all providers and all games. Everyone know about this game - it is really perfectly dead or alive, and nothing else. I spend thousand of spins in this game and I like it!

I like this game because of it theme. Wild west is great, and I am very happy with symbols in this games. Also I like that each wild during freespins have its name - total 5 well known wild west bandits.

Also I love this game because it is enough to bet 9 penny to win amounts which are hundreds. And this is just for 9 penny. I hit 5 scatters with 9 penny bet once, and won 225 euros! And it was from just 10 euros deposit in casino without any bonus. I continued playing and in the end withdrew 500 euros and also played with 50 euros after it.

And of course this game earn its fans because it have potential to pay huge amounts. Best and fastest ways it is get 5 scatters. This will pay 2500 bets. Much more harder way - get wild line. This can pay crazy amounts. And winning amount depends on how much spins with wild line you will have.

Freespins feature is perfect, i love it. 12 freespins with x 2 multiplier, and sticky wilds. If collect at least one wild at each reel +5 freespins. Probably most exciting freespins feature in the world.

I get wild line twice in my life. First time in Betat casino, about year ago. Bet size was 0.27, and i won 723 dollars. Yes, I remembered this amount very good, because it was crazy good win for me from 20$ deposit. And second time it was at Bitstarz couple of months ago, paid 800 euros with 0.36€ bet.

There can not be any other rating - only 10 stars. Sheriff stars :)

I should write here something to get review published, but nothing. Perfect game.

Being "Dead Or Alive" so popular slot not only here on AskGamblers but in every community of gamblers along the entire width of the web, I really do not think I have anything new to say, but I neither wanted to be the only member without pronouncing about this exciting game belonging to the company "NetEnt".

First I have to say I love the theme and design of this slot which easily attracts at first sight and it is no surprise since one of the things I like more from NetEnt is the professionalism and creativity dedicated to the visual part of their games, which is a constant. The next aspect that initially more influenced my decision to play DOA is that it is a slot of only 9 paylines that allows bets from only $ 0.01 per line, which makes it a very suitable slot to play when we are short on budget, additionally this fact makes DOA also emerges as a good slot to try to meet our wagering requirements, which is quite useful when you consider that all the time NetEnt casinos are offering very attractive deposit bonuses.

Characteristics already mentioned above are all-important for me, but it is obvious that, like the vast majority of fans of this game, what I like more about Dead or Alive is its 12 free spins round, which seems a decent amount of free spins to me and even more considering that all your profits are multiplied x2 and the extra feature called "sticky wilds" adds value to the round, DOA is not the only slot equipped with this feature, but it is not less fantastic for that. The only problem I have with this round is that sometimes I find it supremely difficult to trigger the longed-round, but in this one as in all games of chance, it is needed a good dose of luck that always allows us to remain "alive".

I've seen a few negative ratings on this slot, but to be honest I've never seen a game, person, place, etc. that will please 100% of people, so if you're a new player I would recommend that first you gave a look to this popular video slot.

The first time I played Dead or Alive I liked very much the theme of the slot but when I saw that it was only 9 paylines and after playing it for some hour and had some bad free spins feature I thought that it was a crappy and boring slot and probably I would not played it again. So I did not play it for some time, I ignored it existence and never paying attention to it.

One day I was watching big wins at youtube and started watching videos of players who had big wins at Dead or Alive. I also noticed a big fuss starting to happen at casino forum about it too, so I thought I would give it a second try. I was lucky that I hit the wildline at free spins after some sessions I had at the slot and with 0,54 bet I managed to win 1500 which is probably one of the biggest amount I hit with such low bet.

I have to admit I got obsessed with Dead or Alive and after a few weeks I got lucky again and won 2000. Winning almost 3500 from a slot in a month is a very big amount for me. Of course like every gambler who respects himself I started being greedy and wanted to chase these wildlines with bigger bets while I had Lady Luck by me.

Of course the slot could not be hot and kind to me all the time and the next month although I had some good wins, I started losing good amounts of money so I changed my tactics again. Now I usually low roll with bets 0,09 to 0,27 , of course from time to time I take bigger risks and play it with big bets but these times are rare.

Dead or Alive is a slot that you have to be patient a lot and have a good bankroll management if you do not want to waste tones of money.

When I first saw this game, I really had no idea what all the fuss was about. I’d seen it being discussed in on-line forums as being a similar type of game to “Break Da Bank Again” (I now know this to be purely in terms of the insane variance the game offers), which I was already familiar with, and liked to play quite a lot. The game seemed really very slow and I couldn’t see any really impressive wins on the paytable – in fact if memory serves, the maximum base game win for a row of the top symbol – the sheriffs stars – is just £15 on minimum bet. It's possible to double this up with a nicely placed wild but its still fairly unimpressive, after all in “Break Da Bank Again” a full row of the Sapphires with a wild earns you a tidy £75 on minimum bet, and this is upped by a factor of five again in the free spins mode.

But, you see, the two games are just hugely difference – the big wins are placed in completely different places, and this misunderstanding led me to stay away from the game after my first session for quite a long time. The next thing that drew me back to it was seeing somebody show a screenshot of winning £9,000 just for five of the scatter symbols on a bet of £3.60 – this seemed really, really high – the scatters on BDBA don’t actually pay anything at all!! So I calculated this back and realised that at a more sensible (for me) bet level of £0.27, I could win £675.00 for getting this same five scatter hit. How hard can it be?

Well, it turned out, very hard indeed. I didn’t hit that magical five scatter combination until much later and when I did it was on a bet of just £0.09 (sob), though winning £225.00 for a 9p bet was still pretty exciting for me at the time – I was real broke that weekend and had just dropped a tenner into a casino for something to pass the time.

Before I hit the five scatters though, I found out about the wildline – this is, during the free spins, each time a wild lands on the reels it becomes “sticky” and remains in place for the remainder of the bonus round. This was something I hadn’t seen in a game before but I realised the potential straight away and played and played and played, hoping to get good combinations of wild symbols in the free spin mode for a big payoff and boy did it come. I’ve had several wins of many thousands of times my bet playing this game and to this day it remains a favourite of mine.

Somebody mentioned the lack of a quick spin function, this can be sidestepped by using “Cheat Engine” on the flash player component if you are using Firefox or Explorer browser on your computer. I would advise asking the casino if they have issue with you using software to speed up the game before doing this in real money mode, but be prepared for many to say no as they do not understand. It really is much more exciting skipping the tedious base game mode between the super exciting features though!

Dead or Alive is slot powered by NetEnt software. This game has wild west theme, it has 5 reels and 9 paylines. For me this is really good slot. I like it because it has minimum bet of just 0.09€ per spin. I didn't found it myself at casino. While I was looking at some forums, big win videos and pictures I saw really a lot of stuff about this game. First I tried it for fun and later I tried it for real money. In the game I like sounds, especially when at least 3 scatter symbol appeared. Till now I didn't have luck to get more then 3 scatter symbol. I saw some videos with 5 scatters symbols and this is amazing. I can't even imagine how will I start to jumping if I hit something like this. Hehe. 5 scatters pay really high at minimum bet 0.09 € pays 225€. Amazing.

This game I play on every NetEnt casinos, if they offer it of course. I saw some NetEnt casino, but later the game I didn't found and I don't know why. I had two big victories on Dead or alive till now. First was at Whitebet casino where I was playing at 0.09€ with bonus attached. I managed to got almost 90€ from 0.09€ bet. The second was at casino room when I played at 0.18€ bet per spin and later won around 200€. This is the reason why I love this game so much.

Sometimes I get angry when I play it. This is because I can't catch additional 5 free spins and then maybe wildline. But I understand, you have to be lucky like at any other games. I made a few deposit just because this game and later lost all the money. Otherwise if I draw a line on all deposits that I made for that game and see payments from it till now, I am in plus.

There are few guys recent winners on DOA and among them was Afi4wins and I see only his review back in June last year before he won big in this fantastic games and would you agree with me or not,I think it is easier for me to go for visit in Wild West, Houston TX.then win big like our guys did.

My visit to Wild West was terrific, I visited many places and old fashion restaurant as well and had pleasant experience and I got little present that necklace, you know what I mean. While DOA is something completely different, it's dynamic cant keep my attention and spins are little slow for me and nothing but big win which is 2500 x your bet size. The last time when I finally decided to play only DOA and it was in Betspin casino, I had much fun for 2 days. My balance of 40 euro was enough that day to keep me in game for 2 days plus I got 25 free spins for South Park Reel Chaos and even that session was long enough to have a lot of fun for 20 euro of my deposit, doesn't sound that bad, at least I paid to have some fun, right.

My bet size was min. Which is 0.09 and it is really nothing, because you don't feel it trough your spins because it is enoughto win big and bring home something nice, money of course.5 reels, 9 paylines, high variance NetEnt slot game, with wild, wild west theme, is true Wow and Boom game and lately it is going crazy. With so many cowboys and hunters nowadays DOA is definitely iconic game by NetEnt at least that's the way I feel it. If you wanna see amazing wins and screenshots, don't miss topics like Showtime and anything that has DOA in its name.In Betspin everything suddenly became reality and I got 4 wilds on the active payline during free spins and I was just one step away of the big win, how shame it is.

I see here a lot of negative comments about this game, from my point of view it looks like it somewhat different although I respect everyone's opinion because you are writing based on personal experience and this is most important. If the name of slots set as the question then the answer is the latter, "Alive". You will survive only if you are disciplined play from start to finish adhered role in relation to the amount of available money, keep a keen eye and fast fingers then you can guarantee that there is no winter for you while fighting with some of the most legendary figures. I know that you, like me fans of good old westerns and all those dangerous hot dog with the Wild West, in this game is about the same situation, crusty gunmen with fast fingers and guns, there are wanted posters that will bring you the most joy and why I'll explain below.

The Wanted symbol in this game widely known wild symbol, you get this symbol on the reels of this game, in any column at any position then you open up the possibility that some lines become winning because it will replace any symbol required to realized gain on some of the payment line, this of course does not apply to scatter though almost every game is a case in point. Scatter symbol in Dead or Alive slot game is actually a pair of pistols that can occur at any position on the reels. For bonus game which you need only two of these scatter symbols, where you get a reward of two coins, three Scatter'll be rewarded with four coins, and will for four symbols on all columns of the drum you win 25 coins.

Special Award which is one of the biggest reason I'm here is the one that will be your if at all five positions on the drum, ie. The five columns Win scatter symbols, at that moment you become richer by a whopping 2,500 coins. At the end of another to add that in a situation with three wild symbols you will instantly be rewarded with 25 coins, with four wild symbols you will be richer for 150 coins while you will with all five wild symbols go down in history as someone who is on Dead or Alive yet decided to survive and win a shiny 1500 coins. Many times I won 25 coins with three wild symbols, once or twice it was four, so all in all I like this game but in the end I still have a grudge because I see it as a major drawback.

Like I said the only complaint is that this slot has only 9 lines it's not even close to what we see every day in NetEnt gallery and I think that is precisely the reason why many will give up at the start of playing here, I think this is a huge minus for this very interesting version of the wild West, only because of the lack of payment lines from me have a lot of modest assessment. Rating 5/10

Yeah I know that everyone here at AskGamblers and about all players will contradict me after they will read this review but please allow me to be the one who will not praise so much this slot “Dead or Alive”. To me “Dead or Alive” was an unknown slot until a few days ago when I heard about it from several players here at AskGamblers. A pool was made to tell the most played slot of 2014. And so I learned about this famous “Dead or Alive” and I said, maybe so far I really have not found the right slot where to play and win in NetEnt. Just today I received a bonus of 10 Euro from Fast Lane Betting casino. It is good to be part of this gambling industry because from time to time you receive a bonus for doing nothing. And sometimes you can also win, although really pretty rare.

But I will get back to our sheep. “Dead or Alive” was for me just another average slot and the disappointment was big. In my country there is a saying “at the praised tree do not go with a bag” and I guess this fits very well here. Yes the payouts of the slot are of the best possible but in my game play I lost the initial bonus of 10 Euro in just 30 minutes. I played probably about 200-300 spins about the same as I play usually on virtual money to know a slot. But now I was waiting for more. The Wild West theme (which as the latest articles I read on the internet though it was not so wild) is indeed successful. The cowboy boots, the sheriff badge, the whiskey glasses, all fit the game perfectly. Even the hanging lantern hanging on a eaves, the windmill that occasionally spins into the wind and the accompanying lighting...

Like I said this is a slot with good payouts because here the value of a win is at least 2x-3x bet, but these payouts are not frequent enough. And the biggest disappointment for me were the Free Games. First I won 140 coins and the second time just 44 coins (that is, 44 cents). And this is how after about 250-300 spins I finished the initial 10 Euro. A bit too fast for a slot so praised. But maybe my game play here was just the exception.

I did not particularly like the Free Spins. The wins were too small and those so praised Sticky Wilds came very difficult

I think this is the most popular slot game for AskGamblers at the moment and it all is because a few fellow AskGamblers has had an incredible wins with it.

To be honest, the first few times I tried it was a couple of months ago and back then I was mostly playing 20+ payline slots and wouldn't even look with the ones with less paylines. But the wins that other members are getting made me (and I'm sure others too) really eager to play more and more Dead or Alive.

As one very wise man said - Dead or Alive needs persistence. And after spending some time with this game I can totally agree with that. The good thing is that the minimum bet, playing on all 9 paylines, is 0.09€ and even playing with this bet, bonus round can be generous too. The last time I played it was very recently. I started with 0.09€ bets for 100 spins, got feature, then increased bets to 0.18€ and played the autospins again. I felt like I catch DOA in a good mood, and it was true. As within them I got 2 bonus rounds again, still small wins of 5.32€ but better than before. After that I increased my bets two more times, so at last I was playing with 0.36€ bets per spin. Then I got feature again and then it paid me 44€, which so far is my biggest win from DOA.

Although I don't have the biggest win on it, comparing to other AskGamblers, I still am sure my big win will come and 44€ isn't that bad either. And even though it has free spins feature and no bonus round, regular wins with outlaws or other combinations can pay good. For Dead or Alive it’s - you’re gonna love it or you’re not gonna like it, but it is definitely a must try.

Dead or Alive slot is legendary game, made by my favorite online games software - Net entertainment. This game has a lot of fans, because there is not so many games, which can pay thousands on not big bets like 0.90 or 0.45. Therefore it is always interesting to play this game.

Dead or Alive slot has 9 paylines, and someone probably think it is too low, but I can assure you that this is more than enough for slot game of this type. Animations and sounds of course a bit old, since it is not new slot, but I am still love it, it have some good feelings in me.

This slot has freespins feature, and nothing special. Also, please take in mind that 5 scatters at this slot it is something like jackpot, because it pays huge 2500 x total bet if you hit it. I never have 5 scatters on this slot, many times in different ocassions I had 4 scatters, but 5 never, but I am very want to hit it - to win big money and earn this achievement of player who hit 5 scatters on this great. Freespins feature are awesome - 12 freespins with x 2 multiplier. Collect at least one wild at each reel - and you get 5 more spins. Wow, I forget to say. During freespins - all wilds are sticky. If you collect 5 wilds on payline - congratulations, your win will be very big.

For a long period I do hate this slot, because I just keep losing and losing my money on it, but one day I finally hit freespins features and collect those 5 wilds, and my win so impress me, so after this big win I am still sometimes playing this slot, and hunting for another big win.

I have nothing to say about my dislike, slot working it own way, and I do like this way.
