For our full review with strategy advice and comparisons, head to the Dead or Alive 3: Wanted review page.

Game Overview

Dead or Alive 3: Wanted is built around the story of Jesse James, Della Rose and their outlaw crew preparing for one final robbery in the desert. A bounty hunter is closing in — and he doesn’t care whether he brings them back dead or alive.

The game runs on a 5×5 grid with 21 fixed bet lines. Bets range from €0.10 to €14.00 per spin. Free spins trigger on average once every 219 spins.

The base max win sits at 33,333x your bet. With the Wanted Wilds Elevate feature active, that cap doubles to 66,666x. Both figures carry a probability of roughly 1 in 50 million spins at the 96% RTP setting.

Wanted Wilds & Bounty Hunter Wilds

The game uses two distinct wild types, both appearing in the main game and during free spins.

Wanted Wilds

Each Wanted Wild lands carrying a random multiplier. The possible values are: x2, x3, x5, x10, x25, x50 and x100. These wilds substitute for all regular symbols — everything except the Bonus symbol and the Super Bonus symbol. When multiple Wanted Wilds contribute to the same bet line, their multipliers are added together.

Bounty Hunter Wilds

Bounty Hunter Wilds are full-reel symbols — they cover an entire reel from top to bottom. When one lands, it collects the multiplier values from every Wanted Wild currently visible on the reels.

When two or more Bounty Hunters appear on the same spin, the collection follows a left-to-right rule. The leftmost Bounty Hunter collects multipliers from Wanted Wilds only. The Bounty Hunter to the right collects multipliers from Wanted Wilds plus any Bounty Hunter Wilds to its left. All collected multipliers are summed together.

If two or more Bounty Hunter Wilds land on adjacent reels, they merge into a single oversized wild covering both reels. The merged wild carries the combined total of both multipliers.

Wild substitution only pays the longest possible winning combination on each bet line.

Free Spins & Super Free Spins

Triggering

In the main game, landing 2 Bonus symbols awards a Re-Spin — one additional spin to try for a third Bonus. Landing 3 or more Bonus symbols activates Free Spins. If one of the 3 Bonus symbols is a Super Bonus symbol, Super Free Spins activate instead.

Free Spins Awards

Bonus Symbols	Award
3 Bonuses	10 Free Spins
4 Bonuses	10 Free Spins + instant win of 50x the bet
5 Bonuses	10 Free Spins + instant win of 2,500x the bet

Sticky Wild Behaviour

Wanted Wilds that land during the main game and during Re-Spins transform into Sticky Wilds. These sticky wilds carry over into the Free Spins round. Any Wanted Wilds that land during Free Spins or Super Free Spins also become sticky and remain in position for the rest of the round.

Additional Spins

If Wanted Wilds are present on all 5 reels simultaneously during Free Spins or Super Free Spins, 5 additional free spins are awarded.

Super Free Spins Difference

In Super Free Spins, Bounty Hunter Wilds are guaranteed to land on every single spin. This guarantee does not apply in regular Free Spins.

Both Free Spins and Super Free Spins play at the same bet as the round that triggered them. When the round ends, all winnings are added to any wins from the triggering spin, and the game returns to the main game.

Elevate Feature (Bonus Buy System)

The Elevate system lets players activate specific in-game features for an additional cost per spin. Only one Elevate feature can be active per game round. The maximum possible bet with any Elevate tier is €14.00.

Elevate Tier	Cost	Effect
Bonus Hunter	2x bet	At least 1 Bonus or Super Bonus symbol is guaranteed to land on the reels
Wanted Wilds	5x bet	Only high-value multipliers land (x5, x10, x25, x50, x100). The win cap doubles from 33,333x to 66,666x
Bounty Hunter	150x bet	2 Bounty Hunter Wilds land on the reels at the end of every spin. During Super Free Spins, 3 Bounty Hunter Wilds land per spin
Hunted Spins	100x bet	3 or more Bonus symbols land, directly activating Free Spins
Dead or Alive Spins	1,000x bet	3 or more Bonus symbols land with one being a Super Bonus, directly activating Super Free Spins

The total cost for the selected Elevate feature is deducted from the player’s balance on each spin. Elevate availability varies by jurisdiction — it is disabled in markets that prohibit bonus buy features.

Payline Layout

The game uses 21 fixed bet lines across the 5×5 grid. Wins are calculated from left to right only, paying the longest possible combination on each line. The payline map above shows the exact position of each of the 21 lines across the grid.

Complete RTP Table

NetEnt provides six different RTP configurations. Casino operators choose which version to deploy. The RTP differs slightly depending on whether the Elevate (Buy Feature) system is enabled or disabled:

Configuration	Game Type	OSS ID	RTP
96% with Buy Feature Enabled	deadoralive3	deadalive3r96f10	96.04%
96% with Buy Feature Disabled	deadoralive3	deadalive3r96f00	96.03%

How to Check Which RTP You’re Playing

Some casinos display the RTP in the game’s info or help menu. If available, you can also find the OSS ID in the game’s technical information. Match it against the table above to confirm your exact configuration. IDs containing “r96” are the highest RTP variants. IDs with “r94” or “r92” indicate reduced return versions.

If your casino doesn’t disclose the RTP and you can’t find the OSS ID — contact their support and ask directly. You have the right to know which version you’re playing.
