Dead or Alive 2 is a 5-reel, 9-payline NetEnt slot from 2019 with a 96.8% RTP, very high volatility and a top win of 111,111 times your stake. Almost all of its value sits in the free spins, where wilds stick in place. At Wild24 you need a verified account to play it, even in demo.
Demo: Can You Play It Free?
Yes, with a catch that applies to every UK site. Since 2019 the Gambling Commission has required casinos to verify your age before you can play free versions of their games. So at Wild24 there is no "play for fun" button for visitors; you register, pass the checks, and then demo mode is available where the studio provides it.
Is the demo worth it for this game? More than for most. Dead or Alive 2 can go hundreds of spins without a feature, and a demo session is the cheapest way to see how that feels before you put money on it.

The 96.8% figure is NetEnt's standard setting, and it is a good one. Some studios supply casinos with more than one RTP version of a game, so check the figure in the game's info screen at Wild24 before you play; it takes ten seconds.
Volatility is the number that matters more here. Very high volatility means long dry spells and a handful of big hits, and the RTP only shows up over a huge number of spins. Over one evening, your result will have very little to do with 96.8%.
How the Game Works
The base game is plain on purpose. Nine fixed lines pay left to right, the wild substitutes for everything except the scatter, and the high-paying symbols are the outlaws' belongings. Base-game wins are mostly small and they keep you ticking over while you wait for scatters.
Three or more scatters trigger the free spins, and that is where the game really is. You pick one of three modes, and in all of them wilds that land stay on the reels for the rest of the feature. Extra spins can be won during the round, which gives the sticky wilds more time to build.
The Three Free Spins Modes
Old Saloon
The gentlest of the three. Sticky wilds, extra spins when more scatters land, and the most frequent, smaller payouts. A sensible pick if you want the feature to pay something.
Train Heist
Sticky wilds with multipliers attached. Fewer wins than Old Saloon, but a wild with a multiplier on a good line can turn the round.
High Noon Saloon
The mode behind the 111,111x headline. Multipliers on the sticky wilds grow as the round goes on. Most rounds pay little; the rare good one pays enormously.
There is no right answer. Choosing High Noon Saloon every time is the "all or nothing" way to play, and it can burn through a balance quickly. Mixing modes smooths things out a little.
Where to Play It at Wild24
Log in and search the lobby for "Dead or Alive". NetEnt is one of the studios in the Wild24 lobby, but individual titles come and go, so search rather than scrolling. Before the first spin, open the game info and check two things: the RTP shown and your stake. Wild24 applies the UK per-spin caps automatically, so the maximum bet you see may be lower than in the studio's own marketing.
The welcome offer's 50 free spins are on Big Bass Splash, not this game, so Dead or Alive 2 would be played with your own deposit or bonus money. If you are using bonus funds, check the bonus terms for which games count towards the 10x wagering.
Maximum Win
The published maximum is 111,111 times the stake, and it can only realistically come from High Noon Saloon with a reel full of sticky wilds and big multipliers. At 10p a spin that is £11,111; at the UK's £5 cap it would be more than half a million pounds.
Treat that number as a ceiling, not a target. The chance of getting anywhere close is tiny. What you will see much more often is a feature that pays 20x to 50x, or less than you have spent waiting for it.
- Average cost per 100 spins
- £0.64
- Average cost per hour
- £3.20
- Spins your bankroll covers
- 250
Based on the 96.8% RTP, so on average £3.20 of every £100 staked is lost. With very high volatility, a real session can end far above or far below these averages, and a £50 bankroll can go without a single feature.
What Changed in the Last Year
The game has not changed, but the rules around it have. Since spring 2025, online slots in Great Britain have a per-spin cap: £5 if you are 25 or over, £2 if you are 18 to 24. For a high-volatility game like this one that mainly affects the maximum bet, not how the game plays.
Other UK rules from late 2021 still apply too: no autoplay, a minimum of 2.5 seconds per spin, and no sound or animation celebrating a "win" that is smaller than your stake. The bonus wagering cap of 10x that came in on 19 January 2026 is good news if you use bonus money on slots at all.
