Dead or Alive Slot

Ahhh, Dead or Alive. This is just a timeless classic of slot machine development, a game that I can’t ever see losing its appeal to the huge fan base that swear by it as the king of on-line slot gaming. It’s an enviable reputation, no doubt, and one that I’m sure every other slot developer would love to challenge, yet, nobody seems up to the task of creating a high variance game that can offer the same excitement and huge payouts that NetEnt built into this game so many years ago. It’s a strange old world sometimes.

So what is so special about it? On first glance, not a lot – its quite basic in that there are only nine paylines and the paytable, whilst reasonable for a nine line game, certainly doesn’t have much in the way of huge wins available during the base game. This is in contrast to other super high variance nine liners such as Microgamings “Break Da Bank Again”, where it is possible to win a very reasonable 800x or so your bet even in regular spins. It’s all about the free spins mode with Dead or Alive.

As ever, the scatter symbols are the key to triggering the all important bonus round, though unlike pretty much every other game out there, Dead or Alive also has another crazy trick up its sleeve – a mammoth 2500x bet payoff just for hitting all five scatter symbols. That means its possible to win an insane £225 for just a £0.09p minimum bet playing this game! And that’s before your bonus round even begins!

During the bonus, every wild that lands on the reels will become sticky and remain in place until the end of the feature. If you catch a sticky wild on all five reels, you win an additional five free spins with all the wilds you have accumulated so far remaining in place for the extra spins. This gives amazingly lucrative win possibilities, and I personally have won a crazy £380 from a £0.09p bet on one lucky occasion. The variance of this game is totally off the scale, that’s for sure!

The only negative I can attribute to this fantastic game is the lack of a quick spin option - I've heard that NetEnt no longer have the base files for this game or something like that, which means they are unable to create a new updated version for mobile or to add features like Quick Spin which are now expected in every game. It's a shame, but not a deal breaker for me!

This slot is brought to us by NetEnt. It has 5 reels and 9 payline and a minimum bet is 0.09€ while the maximum is 18€. Really good slot with good possibilities for a big payout.

I played this game recently with 0.18€ per spin. And I have to say I really love it, the sounds the western theme and the actual game of course. In the game you can find the dead or alive wanted poster which is actually a wild symbol. But in the free spin mode there are sticky wild, basically the stick around for the remaining time of you spins, but if they fill up all the reels you will be blessed with extra 5 free spins. Then there is the 2 gun and three bullets scatter symbol which if 3 or more appear on the reel will activate a 12 free spin feature with 2x multiplier. Also retriggering free spins will keep the sticky wild symbols from the beginning of the spins but it can be triggered only once per free spin. The game has no bonus feature nor it is progressive, but still big payouts can be made. It is a really fun game to play and I really enjoyed playing it. Even though I lost all my money in this gave which was about 10€ , cause in all that time playing I didn't manage to hit those free spins and as I saw from many screenshots and also on YouTube, that is where big wins can be made.

Definitely this is a game that is rising in popularity nowadays and it's for a reason. Overall, great experiences you get have playing this slot and hopefully great wins as well. As far as the ratings go I will give it a solid 7/10.

This is a 5-reel NetEnt slot, with 9 paylines and a minimum bet of only 0.09 euro!
I found out about this slot when I was searching for other Netent slots because I was bored of the other NetEnt slots and I wanted to try something new!

I had 12 euro in my Unibet account and I decided to spend them on this slot, to try it and to see if it has potential for good wins! Because the minimum bet is 0.09 euro, I played on 0.18 euro thinking that I will win more if I increase the bet!

About the graphics of this games I have to say that that are really good, the symbols have a good shape and are very different! The theme of this slot is about wild west, with things that are specific to cowboys and sheriffs, things like boots, hats, beer glasses and obviously the sheriff’s badge!

I saw that it has a free spins feature that is triggered when you catch 3 or more scatter symbols!I managed to catch the free spins when my account balance reached 7 euro, I won 12 free spins with 2x multiplier that gave me a win of only 6 euro!

I lost the 12 euro that I had in my account but it wasn’t a big problem for me because I wasn’t expecting to win some money! I will try to rate this slot from my own experience even if I played it for a short period of time and didn’t had the chance to see if I has potential for nice wins!

Because the graphics are good and I like the wild west symbols and the theme, I will give a 9 ,also for the payout rate I will give an 8, but this thing I will test it again next time when I will play with more money!

Dead or Alive is a video slot game with 9 paylines and 5 reels created in NetEnt. I haven't had the chance to play often in casinos that offer NetEnt software but lately I had a few deposits in them and tried some of the games offered by this software provider.

Before I tried this game I saw some really incredible winner screenshots here at AskGamblers with wins of 800 x bet or more. Also I saw on YouTube a few big win videos and saw that you can have some really incredible wins here.

The theme of this game is the wild west. Beside the poker symbols that are common for almost every older video slot games, here you have many other symbols that go along with the theme like Spurs, Revolver, Cowboy hat etc. All of these symbols represent the wild west during the second half of the 19-th century.

I had a chance to try out this game for real money only 2 times. The first time I played here for a very short time. Maybe only 15 minutes and I was very disappointed because I didn't have any descent wins. The second time I tried this game was in Casumo Casino. When my balance went down to only 10 euros I remembered this game. I also remembered the fantastic screenshots and hoped for some big win. I set my bet to 0.09 euros and I started to play. On the first spin I got 3 euros for 5 Spurs symbols on a winning payline. This was a promising start but the big wins in this game come from the free spins. The free spins weren't easy to get. After about half an hour of play when my balance was under 3 euros I got the free spins for the first time. 12 free spins but with a very low cashout. Soon after that I got the free spins again. This time the cashout from them was about 10 euros. That's not so bad considering that my bet was only 0.09 euros per spin but I wanted some really big win. After that I increased my bet to 0.18 and after a short time I lost all of my money.

will definitely come back to this game again hoping for some big win.

Dead or alive it is very strange slot. It can pay huge money, but also it can eat huge money. This is of course balanced, but I did not like to play this slot often, because after couple of times I tried to play it with 0.27-0.45 bets I just lost my good balances, without good chances. Also it is very hard to get 3 scatters here, but it is also balanced, because 5 scatters here pay very big money.

Usually I am playing this slot with 0.09 bets, it is very low, I know, but even such low bet can pay good, and I prove this to myself once. I had 10 euros left on my account after very unlucky Creature from the black lagoon gaming, and I decide to push Dead or alive a bit. I start playing, and it took about 200 spins to get feature, luckily there was couple of 5 of a kinds while I am spinning, and I did not lost all before hit freespins. In freespins at this slot wilds are sticky, and most positive result, is collect 5 wilds on pay line, and get +5 spins.

On my first 4 freespins I did not get any wilds, and of course it was sad to see this. Luckily, couple of next spins bring me 3 wilds on pay line 1 (at middle of reels). When I had 3 spins left I get 4 wild. And I was just needed wild on reel 1, to get wild line + 5 freespins. And on last spin it land, that was awesome feeling. After additional 5 freespins I had 110 euros in winnings, which I happily withdrew. This was single time I got extra freespins, but I sometimes play this slot, with same 0.09 bet. Not big risk, but winnings can be very big. I think key to secret here is lot of patience, and low bet. Just wait, sometimes it will take very long, but in the end you will get 5 wilds.

I always liked anything that had to do something with the wild west. When I was a kid I really enjoyed watching western movies with all the cowboys and shooting. I enjoy watching some good old western movie even today on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Ever since I got into online gambling ( I don’t know if I should bless the day or curse it ) I have played a few western slots during the years. One of the best games I tried and had the biggest win on was True Sheriff from Betsoft software. I played the game for the first time and got 5 wilds and a big win which lifted my balance quite a lot. I really hoped that I would have some similar success with Dead or Alive.

Unfortunately that hasn't happened yet but that doesn't mean I wont try it again. I am a little angry with this game at the moment because it ate a lot of balance which I hardly earned on Starburst and didn't provide me with a descent win. I hope it will pass and we can be friends again.

Anyway the game itself is a very simple 9 payline slot with a few interesting details. Well actually the only interesting detail for me are the free spins because I have never had a win over 5 x bet during regular play here. If you get 3 scatters you are awarded with 12 free spins with x 2 multiplier. Nothing fancy or interesting except for the detail that the wilds in the free spins bonus are sticky and they remain where they landed during the free spins. If there is a wild on every reel you are awarded with extra 5 spins and that is when the real payouts come in. If it wasn't for the sticky wilds and extra 5 spins this would be a very very boring slot game.

I don’t think that anyone actually likes this game but everyone are after the 5 wilds in the free spins bonus. I hope to see them on my screen some day soon.

I see that there are already a lot of reviews for this game and to be honest I expected nothing less. Dead or Alive is a much discussed slot in the forum too - everyone loves it, including me! Well, I say I love it but in fact I don't love it, I just like it. The reason why I am not in love with this game as a lot of other people are is because I haven't had a win on it that exceeds £100 but I have seen evidence that this slot is more than capable of doing so by just placing minimum bets such as 18p or 45p.

Dead or Alive is a nine line slot from NetEnt and there aren't many nine slots here by the NetEnt software so if you are looking for a nine liner you will probably end up playing this one. To be completely honest I only play this game when I have a low balance, which may be the reason why I haven't won big on it yet. I never deposit and head straight to this game to place bigger bets, so maybe that is the way to go for this slot.

The slot features a free spins bonus and what you need to try and get is a wild on every reel. Your wilds are in fact sticky wilds and if you can get one to stick to every reel you will be awarded with an additional 5 extra spins, with all the sticky wilds remaining in place for the duration of the free spins. This has only ever happened to me once! And I have no idea how much I won. But for some people this is something that has happened quite a few times and trust me this slot can produce some amazing wins!

I am only giving this slot a six out of ten, but that's only because I am yet to break the bank with it. Do I recommend it? Of course I do!

Dead or alive is a 5 reel and 9 play lines slot game by NetEnt production house. The good light colors are used in the slot and it is cowboy themed. The symbols such as cowboy hat, boots, belt and gun carrier are beautifully characterized. Appearance is good but worst in returns. I made 150 spins at a bet of $0.09 and $0.45, although I played the slot for some win but suffered a loss of $24. Disgusting the returns of the slot is just opposite of its looks. The slot has only one feature of free spins and has no other bonus games and I could not even trigger that in 150 spins.

Although the pay table showed that 12 free spins and 2 x multiplier are awarded when 3+ scatter symbols appear on the reels. Along with this it has feature of sticky wilds which looks good but could not witness it. In this sticky wild symbols retain there position in the remaining free spins session. The free spins can also be retriggered and even in the retriggered free spin session the sticky wild symbols feature is valid. The highest paying symbol is the scatter which pays maximum of 2500 coins. The second highest paying symbol is the wild symbol with the maximum of 1500 coins when 5 wilds appear on the reels. Then comes the sheriff logo, belt symbol, hat, boots.

So overall not a good experience for me to play the slot game. The slot has good graphics and soundtrack but the returns are really bad. The free spin feature is very hard to trigger and I did not trigger in my game play. So I am disappointed by the NetEnt production.

I have just played once till date and not even dared to do again since then. I would give the slot 5 on ten.

I just couldn’t resist a good-old Western slot, like this NetEnt’s Dead or Alive 9-payline game. 9 paylines mean you don’t have to wager a lot for every spin, unless you are going for big wins, but 9 paylines doesn’t always mean you can get a good long stretched gameplay all the time. With Dead or Alive, your bankroll either go dry quickly (dead), or you get lucky and the game goes on and on for you (alive). Which is it going to be for you? For me, several times tried, several times dead! 1 star down.

Looking at the paytable, 5 Wilds pay a low 1500x line bet (as against the standard x total bet), but these Wilds are sticky in the free games, giving extended chances at making win after win, so that justifies the low payout to a certain extent. As for the other symbols, they are just as low, with the highest symbol payout of only 1000x line bet. Nonetheless, I’m never in favour of low paytable, so 1 star down.

Getting 3, 4 or 5 of the pistols symbols give you 12 free spins with a x2 win multiplier. Every time a Wild symbol appear, it becomes sticky and stay in position for the remaining of the free spins. Getting 5 Wilds in the free spins would trigger another set of 5 free spins, with all the sticky Wilds in position, and this is the whopper payout feature of Dead or Alive, guaranteed to make you alive, unless you are already dead! I couldn’t get all 5 Wilds in my plays, only managed to get 4, and that left me with smoke in my ears! Dang! The only time I got all 5 Wilds on a payline during the free spins was when I was practising! Dang! That hurt real bad! Even though it didn’t pay big, the payout was over 600x total bet. Wish it had come when I was playing with real dimes. 1 star up.

As far as graphics, music and sound goes, there’s nothing to really shout about. Graphics are pleasing enough to the eye, while the music and sound effects suit this good-old Western game. Furthermore, there aren’t any other special or bonus feature games except for the free spins, and when the reels are not paying at all, the tendency to get bored fast is always there. 1 star down.

Nonetheless, Dead or Alive is one infectious game - it can either infect you once and leave you for dead, or it can infect you and make you come back for more, again and again.

Dead or Alive game is powered by NetEnt. I am a big fan of 9 line games on microgaming and i did have some amazing wins on them, so when i started playing this game i did not think it would be anything near as good but it definitely surprised me. To start of i would like to say that this game has really good graphics and sound effects. I play it on bets of €0.09 to €0.27 and having good graphics means a great deal because i can play for a long time. For me personally this game takes a while to kick off but when it does it is very cool.

There is one feature in this game and that is a free spins feature. To get the feature i had to get three or more scatters anywhere on the reels. having a stop button is a big plus because to get the feature the first time i had to double tap. Once you get the feature you are awarded with 12 free spins with sticky wilds. The first time i got one wild on the fifth reel and won around €4 on €0.18 bet. Even though i won little i felt that this game has potential. The best result i had on a feature was €63 on €0.18 and four wilds. It is a bad buzz that they were not on a pay line because that would have been a bigger win.

Over all the game is very cool and can pay huge. Small bets help control loses but could still pay. I would recommend this game to everybody, it is fun and exciting. If i was to rate this game i would give it 8 out of 10.
