Game overview
Dead or Alive is a slot game developed by NetEnt that incorporates a Wild West-themed narrative with symbols representing sheriffs, outlaws, and saloons. The game uses a 5-reel, 3-row structure with 9 fixed paylines.
The base game operates with standard symbol combinations forming the core gameplay. High-paying symbols include the sheriff, bandit, and cowboy hats. Bonus features are triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols, which activate the Free Spins feature.
During the Free Spins bonus, sticky wilds are applied to the reels, remaining in place for the duration of the spins and enhancing potential payouts. The bonus round is central to the game’s high winning potential and introduces increased variability.
Dead or Alive is generally classified as a high volatility slot. Base game outcomes occur less frequently, while bonus rounds introduce higher variability and opportunities for large payouts. These characteristics are governed by the game’s internal mathematical model.
From a technical perspective, Dead or Alive uses a random number generator (RNG) to ensure that each spin and feature event is independent and operates according to fixed rules.
