NetEnt brings us back to the West for another round of bandits, shooters and loot...

The West is ready to be tamed once again in the new NetEnt game: Dead or Alive 2 slots. A sequel to the 2009 original, this smokin' slot improves on the first in almost every way.

The features, sounds and graphics have all been given some much needed spit and polish. This sequel has been requested by the fans - and the Swedish developer has finally listened.

But was it worth the 10-year wait? We wrangle up some thoughts in our quick game review below, along with details on the free spins.

Dead or Alive 2 NetEnt Slot Review

Dead or Alive 2 Slots Wild Symbols — Wilds become sticky in free spins

Dead or Alive 2 is a 9 payline slot with 3 rows and 5 game reels. And if this format sounds familiar, that's because DOA1 shares the same game layout.

But fans of the first game will note the distinct upgrade in visual style. Detailed symbols, smooth animation and effects - this outlaw is looking good. But most impressive? The music and sound.

This is a truly immersive game - the soundtrack almost makes you feel like you have stepped into a dusty Western saloon. Then there are the spin sounds, which mimic the loading and unloading of a six-shooter.

As beautiful as the game looks and as good as it sounds - how does Dead or Alive 2 slots play? We're happy to report that this game is a blast.

As you flex that trigger finger, you will happen across the five wild outlaw symbols. They look like a mean bunch - but they will substitute for other symbols in a winning payline. And you will be happy to see them in free spins.

We also have the scatter symbols - a pair of six-shooters complete with a decorative skull. Match two or more and you will kick off the main Dead or Alive 2 slots bonus. But not before you are rewarded for your haul. A five of a kind scatter win awards an impressive 2,500x win.

And of course, landing those scatters will also let you choose one of three free spins rounds...

Dead or Alive 2 Slots Free Spins — High Noon Saloon free spins gives you multiplier wilds

Once you wrangle up those Dead or Alive 2 free spins, you will have to choose a reward. And it's a tough choice considering what's on offer:

Old Saloon Free Spins: All your wins will be multiplied by 2. And if one or more sticky wilds appear, you will get five extra free spins. Sound familiar again? That's because this is the original free spins from the first game.

High Noon Saloon Free Spins: 2 wilds landing on the same reel will transform them into double multiplier wilds. Landing three wilds will turn them into triple multiplier wilds. And of course, hit one of more sticky wilds will give you another 5 free spins.

Train Heist Free Spins: Help the bandits take out the train for a share of the plunder - sounds like a good deal to use. Whenever a wild lands, a multiplier will increases plus you get an extra spin. Fill up the bar to x16 and you will get an extra 6 free spins.
