Dead or Alive 2

Dead or Alive 2 is a 5-reel, 3-row slot by NetEnt, released in 2019. Its published return to player is 96.80% and the provider rates its volatility as high.

How Dead or Alive 2 plays

Two or more scatters pay anywhere, and three or more open 12 free spins in one of three player-chosen modes. Old Saloon has sticky wilds and doubles all wins; High Noon Saloon has sticky wilds that become 2x or 3x multiplier wilds when two or three share a reel; Train Heist fills a multiplier bar with every wild, reaching 16x. Each mode can add extra spins.

Theme: Wild West outlaws. Filed under Wild West.

Features in this game

  • Sticky wilds: A wild that stays in place for more than one spin, usually through a respin sequence or a whole free spins round.
  • Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
  • Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.

What the figures mean

An RTP of 96.80% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.20%, so every £100 staked costs £3.20 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £6.40, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.

The provider rates volatility as high. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.

Published hit frequency is 30%, meaning roughly 30 spins in every 100 return something. Many of those returns are smaller than the stake.

Playing in Great BritainThe game has a Bonus Buy feature; whether it is offered to GB players depends on the operator (not verified). Every online slot in GB runs with a minimum 2.5 seconds per spin, no autoplay and a stake cap of £5 per spin (£2 if you are 18 to 24). The GB rules.
