Dead or Alive - is a classic wild west-style slot from NetEnt and it has become an instant classic since its release in 2009. The wild west theme is very popular among game providers but not all of them became as successful as NetEnt. Probably it's their oldest slot in the catalog but it's one of the most popular in the world.
The soundtrack of this game reminds us of old western movies like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with Clint Eastwood. When you start the reel you can hear the sound of a gun being engaged which adds quite a lot of excitement to the game. In general, your journey with this slot will be quite difficult because of its high volatility; however you can get as much as 3000x of your bet for just one spin.
The freespin feature is the main attraction of this slot because of its "sticky wilds". At first it may seem that you get nothing from your spin but those "sticky wilds" can make your whole day!

Dead or Alive slot features
The slot is 5-reel and 9-payline. In the beginning RTP was 96.82% but some casinos offer different numbers and you need to be careful not to get unfavorable odds. Here are some of the undesired numbers: 90.07%, 92.06%, 93.06%. Hit frequency is 30.42% which is a very good chance to get a winning combination. There are 10 different symbols in the game including wild and scatter symbols. The wild symbol is the wanted poster. Scatter symbol (two revolvers) triggers the freespin bonus round. The bonus round is triggered when three or more scatter symbols appear on the screen. After that, you will receive twelve free spins, during which all of your winning will be multiplied by 2. One of the most exciting parts of this bonus round is to collect special posters with depictions of various criminals which will be acting as sticky wilds. When you get those sticky wilds - they remain until the end of the bonus round. During the bonus round, one or more Sticky Wilds symbols appearing on all the reels will activate 5 extra free spins. The betting range is from 0.09 to 18 EUR.
Personally, I had a wonderful experience playing this slot. At first it seemed like I was feeding my money to the casino but later when I got a couple of bonus features I realized why people love this slot.
Verdict
In general, If you are a fan of wild west theme, great soundtrack, beautiful graphics and animation, like to play it dangerously(remember, this is a high volatility slot - big risks = big wins) and enjoy getting huge wins with bonus features - this slot is a great choice to spend your time on!
