“Ten years after the original Dead or Alive was launched, its sequel moves to take its reigns. It has some big cowboy shoes to fill, and NetEnt is quite aware of this. Will this slot be able to live up to the high expectations set for it by players and reviewers alike?“

We won’t lie, when we first heard of Dead or Alive 2, we jumped in excitement. This is a slot we’ve recommended to many friends and readers over the years! And while many would get hooked, everyone would express the same sentiment. ‘I just wish it looked better!’. It seems NetEnt has also heard these pleas, as they went all out for this game.
This release is played on a 5-reel, 3-row board with 9 fixed paylines. The visual fidelity is insane, rivaling some of the NetEnt’s best looking slots! But what really impressed us was Dead or Alive 2’s attempt to preserve the original experience while offering something new. It even goes as far as to offer the same special feature as its predecessor, along with two brand new ones!
Gamblers can adjust their bet level and coin value, and by proxy, also change their total stake. You can wager between $0.09 and $9.00 per spin, which is a somewhat mediocre betting spread.
Symbols should look quite familiar to any fans of the original game. They’ve taken those janky, old icons, and given them a facelift! It’s not a complete recreation, but we’re fine with that. With those artistic liberties, NetEnt created a gorgeous release.
Five different bandits are the Wild symbol, while a pair of revolvers represents Scatter.
To win, collect three or more identical icons in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. All winning symbols must follow one of the active paylines or the cash prize won’t be awarded.
All three special features are triggered by collecting three or more Scatters. Each one grants twelve free spins .
Old Saloon is the same bonus from Dead or Alive 2’s predecessor. All wins are multiplied by 2x, and getting a sticky Wild on each reel awards five more free spins.
High Noon Saloon allows for the appearance of double and triple Wilds! Like Old Saloon, getting a sticky Wild on each reel awards five more free spins. And yes, the double and triple multiplier Wilds do count! Using this special feature, players can win a jackpot worth 111,111x your total stake.
Finally, we have the Train Heist. Each time a Wild lands, it will grant an additional free spin or a multiplier increase. If your multiplier reaches 16x, five more free spins are granted to the player.
The slot has a high volatility and an RTP of 96.82%.

"We’re quite happy to report that Dead or Alive 2 is a worthy successor! Slot sequels tend to be hit or miss, so we’re quite happy NetEnt didn’t muck this up. If you’ve always wanted to play Dead or Alive, but were put off by the graphics, you have no excuse now."
