Dead or Alive
Dead or Alive is NetEnt's 2009 Wild West legend and still one of the most feared high-variance slots ever built: a bare 5x3, 9-payline saloon where the whole game hangs on twelve free spins. Land three scatters and every wild that drops turns sticky for the rest of the round while all line wins pay double — line a full wanted poster of sticky wilds across a payline and it pays around 333x a spin. NetEnt caps the win at 8,600x, and reaching it is as brutal as the frontier it draws.

Ítéletünk: Dead or Alive
Fifteen years on, Dead or Alive is still the yardstick for high-variance design. There is nothing to hide behind: nine paylines, one bonus, and a free-spins round that either strings sticky wilds into a fortune or leaves you with the tumbleweed. When it hits — a wild line locked across all five reels, 333x landing spin after spin — few slots feel as dangerous. When it doesn't, it empties a balance without ceremony. Play it for the history and the thrill of the all-or-nothing bonus, not for a smooth session. Bring a bankroll built for a gunfight.

What is the max win in Dead or Alive?
8,600x the stake, per NetEnt's official game page. A 13,888x figure circulates widely, but that is not the studio's own number. -
What is the RTP of Dead or Alive?
96.82% by default. NetEnt ships operator-configurable builds ranging from 90.07% up to 98.08%, so the exact rate depends on the casino. -
How do the free spins work?
Three scatters award 12 free spins. Every wild that lands becomes sticky and stays for the rest of the round, and all line wins are doubled. -
Does the bonus retrigger?
Yes — if a sticky wild sits on every one of the five reels, you get 5 extra spins, and it can retrigger repeatedly. -
How is it different from Dead or Alive 2?
This is the 2009 original with a single free-spins mode. Dead or Alive 2 (2019) added three selectable modes and a higher ceiling.
