How it plays
Dead or Alive is a slot from NetEnt. The main game pays out on scatters, and enough Scatter symbols lead to Free Spins in which sticky Wilds can appear. This page covers only the rules and figures that are officially published and offers no way to win.
Scatter wins in the main game pay the multiplier shown in the paytable multiplied by the total bet.
Enough Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels start the Free Spins, and a sticky Wild on every reel during the feature awards extra Free Spins.
Line wins during the Free Spins are doubled, and the total winnings are added to the cash balance when the round ends.
Every round is random and earlier results have no effect on the next one. This site gives no betting advice.

RTP is a theoretical value published officially. It describes the average return over the long run and many rounds, and says nothing about a single round or a short period. The version actually offered depends on the operator's settings, and the information in the game takes precedence. Items the official page does not publish are not listed in this table and are not guessed. Official page
Stake lists this game; whether you can play it depends on where you are.
