Wild West
The phenomenal artwork sets the atmosphere for the showdown about to unfold. You find yourself on a deserted street, to the back of the transparent reels. As the sun is about to set, you can hear the ominous sound of thunder in the background. The wind is howling, and you can hear the clinking of bottles and squeaking of a rusty old lantern hanging from a post. At random, gunshots can be heard and the sound of startled dogs barking. The symbols include a Sheriff's badge, gun, cowboy hat, boots and whiskey bottle. There are also five royal flush symbols.

Bandit wilds
The slot features 3 different free spins modes, stacked with different features called Old Saloon, High Noon Saloon and Train Heist.
The game features not one but five different wilds that appear on their respective reels. They are made up of gun or knife wielding bandits. These bandits can substitute for all other symbols except the scatter and form their own winning payline. Form a payline win of 3, 4 or 5 symbols to win 25, 150 or 1,500 coins.
Free spins: High Noon Saloon, Old Saloon and Train Heist
The scatter symbol can appear on any reel and reward you with coins in amounts of 2, 4, 25 or 2,500 with 2, 3, 4 or 5 respectively. There are three different free spin modes: High Noon Saloon, Old Saloon and the Train Heist. In Old Saloon Free Spins, there is a x2 multiplier applied on all wins. You can collect 5 extra free spins If you land one or wilds on each reel. In High Noon Saloon Free Spins, 2 or 3 wilds on the same reel become x2 or x3 multiplier wilds respectively. You can also collect 5 extra free spins If you land one or more wilds on each reel. Finally, in Train Heist Free Spins, there is a multiplier which increases as wilds land on the reels – for up to x16! Each wild also adds an extra free spin and if you manage to reach x16, then you will collect 5 more free spins.
The low-down
The high variance means the rewards can also be high.
Dead or Alive II slot has an RTP of 96.8% and can be played with wagers ranging from €0.09 to as much as €3.60. This is a high variance game so winning large amounts are difficult and you are very likely to require a higher bank roll in order to play long enough to achieve this. The game has been optimised for desktop as well as mobile. All you'll need for the latter is an Android or iOS operating system.
Strengths:
- Three different free spin modes to choose from
- High variance means high potential rewards
- Stunning artwork and audio effects
