INTRODUCTION
Get your cowboy boots and your hat on, saddle up your horses, because NetEnt is taking you to the Wild West. Set on a deserted ranch, Dead or Alive is a five-reel video slot that offers 9 fixed paylines. Playable from $0.09 per spin, the 2013 release offers one additional feature. Land three or more Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature and get up to 29 freebies with all wins doubled. That is not all, because all Wilds that appear during the feature will remain sticky on the reels. That is reason enough for you to spend some time with the prairie dogs.
HOW TO PLAY DEAD OR ALIVE
The reels of the Spaghetti Western-themed video slot are set on a deserted ranch and all you can hear are owls and prairie dogs. Symbols that populate the reels are Sheriff’s Badge, Pistol with Bullets, a Cowboy Hat, a pair of Cowboy Boots and a Whiskey Shot. Low-paying symbols are represented by 10-A playing cards. The Wanted Poster is the Wild that substitutes for all other symbols but the Scatter, which triggers the Free Spins feature. Two crossed Pistols with three Bullets are used as a Scatter. Land three or more of them to activate freebies.
The rules of the game are the least frightening part of the 2013 release because it is so easy to play Dead or Alive that you will be spinning the reels like a genuine quick draw in no time at all. The NetEnt classic features five reels, three rows and benefits from 9 fixed paylines, which pay left to right, beginning from the far left reel. Land at least three matching symbols on a payline if you want to start winning payouts. The Scatter is the only symbol that pays even for two of a kind and will pay on any position on the reels.

DEAD OR ALIVE (NETENT): CASINOBLOKE’S VERDICT
The 2013 release is definitely not intended for scaredy-cats, due to the spooky background. The ranch is abandoned, the storm is coming, and the only things you can hear is thunder, prairie dogs and howls. Or maybe Indians. On the other hand, the NetEnt title offers a rewarding Free Spins feature, with sticky Wilds and doubled wins. An additional feature could have spiced things up a little bit, but Dead or Alive is very good as it is. That is probably why this is one of NetEnt’s biggest hits of all times.
