Dead or Alive 2 Bonus Features

Like any good post-credits scene, the best is usually saved for last. An additional two types of free spins have been added to the game.

Scatter Jackpot

The infamous Scatter Jackpot. If presented with five Scatters in one fortuitous moment, collect the bounty you’ve perilously worked over.

Free Spins

If you’re unable to lineup five scatters, we won’t hold it against you. Three scatters are also a good time. After you’ve collected them, a second screen will open up with three types of free spins availa-ble for selection. Regardless of your choice, you’ll be given 12 free spins.

  • Old Saloon Free Spins: Wins are multiplied by 2 with an additional 5 free spins available to be acti-vated if at least one Sticky Wild on each of the five reels appears. Any additional wild symbols that lands on the same reel will automatically transform the wilds into a Multiplier Wilds.
  • High Noon Saloon Free Spins: If you find yourself with two or more Wild symbols, of the same kind, within a single reel, the Wild symbols combine to become a Double Multiplier Wild. If three happen to land, it becomes a Triple Multiplier Wild symbol. Impressive, I know. If one or more Sticky Wilds lands on each reel, you’ll earn a further 5 free spins.
  • Train Heist Free Spins: Is it even a Western if there isn’t a train heist? Wild symbols increase the multiplier by 1x. And, if that wasn’t enough, players earn a free spin as well. Doing a little math, 16 Wilds would result in a 16x multiplier and a further 5 free spins. Talk about a robbery!
