Dead or Alive 2 Feature Buy

Dead or Alive 2 Feature Buy is a video slot from NetEnt that was launched on May 11, 2020. Since the original Dead or Alive slot has stayed hugely popular over the years and secured a place in the hearts of players around the world, the sequel, Dead or Alive 2, was a highly anticipated follow-up to the first game. Yet after the sequel finally went live in casinos, and despite meeting players’ expectations, NetEnt chose to please fans and the wider industry once again by creating the next installment of the legendary series, Dead or Alive 2: Feature Buy. Although the second Dead or Alive title came close to satisfying fans who had waited nearly ten years for a sequel, NetEnt’s well-received release still did not offer many extra features. Anyone who has played Dead or Alive 2 will probably know how rarely the game pays out the bonuses players want. Even the wild symbols could be difficult to land, leaving players waiting for them to appear on the reels.

Free Spins

The next episode to include the Buy option focuses on Free Spins, just as the original Dead or Alive 2 did. This feature gives players three different choices, allowing them to select the right volatility level along with added bonuses.

Here are the different ways you can play your free spins:

Train Heist Free Spins 

This mode has low volatility. If you pick it, a Wild Counter will appear above the reels while you play. If you manage to land a Wild symbol on the reels, your current multiplier increases by one, and you receive an extra free spin. You can build a multiplier of up to 16x, which also awards 5 more spins along with the major prizes.

Old Saloon Free Spins

This mode comes with medium volatility. Each win is multiplied by x2, and if you land one or more Sticky Wilds on each reel, you will also be awarded five extra Free Spins in addition to everything else.

High Noon Free Spins

The final option, and certainly not the least, offers the highest volatility and therefore the biggest rewards. This mode features Sticky Wilds with 2x and 3x multipliers. In addition, if you are lucky enough to hit multiple Wilds on a single spin, the entire combination value will be multiplied. As with the previous feature, you can also win 5 extra spins if you land one Wild symbol on every reel.

Buy Bonus

If you want to skip the setup and jump straight into the action, you can use the Feature Buy option to pay 60 times your current wager and purchase the feature.

As we had all previously played the first Dead or Alive 2 and were already fans of it, there was nothing particularly new for us to discover visually when we started the game. There was no background music, but the ambient audio still helped create a distinctly Wild West feel, which we rather enjoyed. The original games in the series had been very kind to us in terms of payouts, so now it was time to see how this one would perform. To assess its payout behavior, we took a slightly different approach, since this slot does not allow a 1 Euro bet. We deposited 180 Euros, set the stake at 0.9 Euro, and played roughly 300 spins. In the first 100 spins, the only win that felt even mildly worthwhile was one worth 10 times the original stake, while most of the other prizes were between half and twice the starting bet. During this stretch, the hit rate was very low. For a slot with such high volatility, this opening was about as expected as it could be. Over the next 100 spins, we managed to trigger the Free Spins feature. We chose the High Noon Saloon option, and thanks to the Triple Wild Symbols that appeared from time to time, we landed a payout worth 100 times our original wager. Even though we had a rewarding bonus round and several wins close to five times the stake, after 200 spins we were still down by about 50 Euros. In the final 100 spins, it felt as though the Wild West bandits had become a little more generous. We hit one outstanding bonus round in the Train Heist Free Spins, which paid 144 times the wager, and we also picked up several strong base-game wins that added up to around 40 times the bet altogether. In the end, after 300 spins, we finished 40 Euros ahead, and we had a great time doing so thanks to the excellent design and the very generous bonus payouts.

Like the original Dead or Alive 2, this slot earns a strong recommendation from us thanks to its engaging gameplay and impressive payout potential in the bonus rounds, which you can even buy directly from the base game in this series. That said, you should approach it with great care and know when to walk away, as its high volatility means it can either boost your bankroll or quickly drain it. Give this slot a try if you enjoy gambling from time to time or if you are a devoted fan of the original game. We are confident it will suit your taste. Good luck and enjoy!
