Dead or Alive Slot Review

There is no need to prick your ears to hear the lasso hitting the ground, the faint squawking of the hawk and the barking of a dog. The notorious western whistle is cut short to redirect the player's attention to the game. Yes, the animation is that fantastic!

How it compares with other slots

This is a low volatility game, which in turn has high volatility wins. With 5 reels played on 3 rows, this multiple coin slot machine has 9 betlines and 4 bet levels with Scatter wins, Wild substitutes, and the Sticky Wild feature that can help you win big. The minimum bet is that of 0.09 per spin and the coin range is that of 0.01 to that of 0.50.

The symbols are exquisitely detailed with the highest value ones acting as significant figures pertaining to the country and western lifestyle: whiskey shots, cowboy boots with gleaming spurs, pistols in the holder, Stetson hats, the Sheriff's golden star badges, Outlaw Wanted posters, and scatter guns. The 10, J, K, Q and A are five of the lower value symbols. These lack the lustre belonging to the other high value symbols to create the distinction.

In-Game Bonuses

The Outlaw Wanted Posters are wilds and act as a substitute for all symbols except the bonus scatter icons. These turn into Sticky Wilds during free spins and become big wins once the Sticky Wilds start to stack up providing 4 and 5 of a kind win after win. The scatter symbol takes the shape of a colt gun that pays when 2 or more appear on screen. What happens when you discover three or more of these scatter guns? Whilst a set of 5 earns you the highest scatter pay at 2,500 coin credits, a set of 3 or more of the Peacemaker scatter symbols carries far greater significance. This is where the big wins start as 12 free spins are awarded, allowing for more wilds and more free spins to come your way. Your wins may also be doubled. A sign that appears on the screen informs the player of the remaining free spins and the multiplier is then applied (x2). When at least one Sticky Wild appears on every reel, 5 Free Spins are awarded. The Medium and low-value symbols pay when they appear in an unbroken sequence from left to right on one betline.

Mobile Slot Review

Whilst the Mobile version may lack the Multipliers feature, it retains the Free Spins and the Sticky Wilds. It is important to note that the Higher Percentage Return Payout is also that of the online slot review, which is 96.8%. Pretty high for a low volatility game. Free trials and playing for fun are also permitted, thus attracting even beginners, who may be seeking the basics of slots.

So giddy up! 'Dead or Alive' may be the cowgirl of your dreams, leaving your pocket more quick than dead.
