Why the RTP at a casino may differ

Providers ship the same game in several return configurations, and each casino picks which version it runs. Across the market the spread typically runs 2–8 percentage points below the headline figure. The number here is the provider specification — the version actually running is shown inside the game, in its rules screen.

Dead or Alive review

Dead or Alive is NetEnt's cult western and one of the first genuinely high-volatility slots — the game a whole generation of streamers cut their teeth on. Just 9 lines and a modest base game, but the free spins with their sticky wilds can produce the legendary "full line of wilds" and thousands of times your stake in a single run. Long dry spells between bonuses are possible, but the explosive potential is enormous. A slot for patient high rollers and hunters of extreme wins — newcomers with a small bankroll should tread carefully.
