Dead or Alive 2

Dead or Alive 2 is a NetEnt slot released in 2019, played on five reels, three rows and just nine paylines — a narrow grid for a game with a 111,111x cap, and the reason it is as volatile as it is. Five separate wild symbols appear, one per reel, each an outlaw of its own, and five of them on a payline pays 166.66 times the stake. What makes the sequel different from its predecessor is choice. Three scatters start the free spins, and instead of one round you pick which of three you want to play; landing five scatters also pays 2,500x the stake outright. Each mode is a different risk profile for the same twelve starting spins. The gentlest tracks a wild counter above the reels: every wild adds one to a multiplier and one extra spin, and reaching the top of the counter awards five more spins on top. The other two trade that steadiness for higher ceilings and shorter runs. Because you decide before the round starts, the same trigger can produce very different sessions depending on the mode chosen, which is unusual and worth understanding before playing. The paytable, the exact rules of each mode and the buy cost, where offered, are set out in the game's own information panel.
