The game

What Dead or Alive 2 actually is

A Western on five reels and nine paylines that is really three different games, because the free-spins round asks you to choose one of three: Old Saloon, High Noon or Train Heist, each with its own volatility and its own ceiling.

Train Heist is the reason the game has the reputation it has — sticky wilds with a multiplier that climbs with every retrigger, and no upper bound short of the game's own 100,000× limit. It is also where almost every session ends with nothing. Very high volatility understates it: this is one of the harshest distributions in mainstream slots, built so that the overwhelming majority of players fund an outcome a very small number of them see.

In practice

What this spec means for a session

The 100,000× ceiling is the largest return a single stake is designed to be able to produce: on a £1 spin that is £100,000 (what a ceiling costs). At this size the ceiling is essentially a lottery outcome inside a slot, and the return you actually experience comes almost entirely from the ordinary spins beneath it.

The grid is 5 × 3 across 9 paylines — more lines is not better odds (paylines).

The mechanics this title actually ships, and what each one does to the spread of results:

  • Sticky wilds hold wilds in place across a run of spins, widening the bonus round's spread.
  • Free spins a run of spins at no further stake, usually under modified maths, where most of the return sits.
  • Multipliers raise the ceiling of a win without raising how often one lands.
