Dead or Alive 3: Wanted is the third slot in NetEnt’s genre-spanning Dead or Alive game series, which is inspired by the lawless characters from North America’s Wild West.
The team has given the graphics a facelift and replaced the traditional reel set with a 5x5 game grid, but players familiar with the series will recognise some standout features l from previous iterations, like sticky wilds, plus added mechanics unique to this release.
The expanded game arena offers 21 ways to win and high volatility gameplay. There are two types of wild symbols, respins, and two versions of the bonus game, culminating in win potential up to 33,333x the bet.

When the game opens, you’re taken to the Wild West, where the game grid sits encased in wood, set against a barren, dusty landscape. Tap on the plus and minus buttons to toggle through your wagering options and choose your bet size, then when you’re ready to proceed, hit the spin button to start your game.
Payouts are triggered by landing three or more matching symbols along one of the game’s 21 fixed paylines. Your payout is determined by the symbol type, from low-paying royals to the premium-priced sheriff’s badge, which offers a max prize of 50x for matching five of a kind. Any five wilds on a single spin will also pay out 50x the bet.
The table below shows the payouts awarded for hitting payline wins with a £1.00 per spin wager:
| Symbol | Match 3 | Match 4 | Match 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 0.10 | 0.40 | 1.50 |
| Jack | 0.10 | 0.40 | 2.00 |
| Queen | 0.20 | 0.60 | 2.50 |
| King | 0.30 | 0.70 | 3.50 |
| Ace | 0.50 | 1.00 | 5.00 |
| Hip Flask | 0.50 | 2.50 | 10.00 |
| Axe | 0.60 | 3.00 | 15.00 |
| Gun | 0.70 | 3.50 | 20.00 |
| Trap | 1.00 | 5.00 | 35.00 |
| Sheriff's Badge | 1.00 | 6.00 | 50.00 |
Two types of wild symbols can appear in both the base game and free spins: Wanted wilds and bounty hunter wilds.
Wanted wilds are wanted posters that appear as a single symbol and depict one of five outlaw characters. They carry one of the following multiplier values: x2, x3, x5, x10, x25, x50, or x100.
When a bounty hunter wild lands, it expands to cover the entire reel and collects the multiplier values from all wanted wilds in view.
If two or more bounty hunter wilds land, the left one collects all wanted wild values, and any to the right of that will collect the values from all wanted wilds and bounty hunter wilds on their left.
If two bounty hunter wilds land on adjacent reels, they merge into one big wild covering both reels once all multiplier values have been collected, merging their multipliers, too.
Wild symbols substitute for all regular pay symbols to help you create winning combinations and trigger rewards.
There are two free spins scatter symbols: a golden skull and a flaming golden skull. If two bonus symbols land on the reels in the base game, a respin is awarded. If three or more hit, you enter the free spins game. If one of the bonus symbols is the flaming golden skull, the super free spins bonus is activated.
Any wanted wilds that landed during the base game or respin are transformed into sticky wilds and carried over to your bonus game. All wanted wilds that land during the bonus are transformed into sticky wilds that remain locked on the reels for the duration of the bonus.
Locking sticky wilds on all five reels will award five additional free spins in the current bonus mode. During the super free spins bonus, a bounty hunter wild is guaranteed to land on every spin.
