Overview
By Sophie Lang, Games & Mobile Editor. Catalog RTP last refreshed 24 August 2026 — not a live lobby scrape. Confirm the cash info panel after login.
Dead or Alive 2 is NetEnt’s high-vol sticky-wild sequel: 100,000× class, prefer ~96.82% after CAD login. It is not Dead or Alive’s 100,000× sticky-wild original (~96.82%) and not Dead or Alive 2 Feature Buy’s 100,000× western buy (~96.40%).
Lobby search stacks Dead or Alive, Dead or Alive 2 Feature Buy, Wanted Dead or a Wild, and Wild West Gold Blitz beside it. Open the cash title that reads Dead or Alive 2, then read the panel — 94.00% NetEnt builds still ship.
Confirm the live contribution table. Some tables still cap max bet. Confirm before you opt in.
Editor take — Dead or Alive 2. Use the sticky-wild sequel on a 96.82% CAD panel at 100,000×. Take Dead or Alive for the sticky-wild original at 100,000× / ~96.82%. Take Dead or Alive 2 Feature Buy for western buy at 100,000× / ~96.40%. Skip Wanted Dead or a Wild unless that is the cash tile.
Stake and table limits for Dead or Alive 2 are operator-specific in CAD. Set a session cap before you open the game, then confirm 96.82% on the cash panel — not the demo tile.

How It Works
Paid rounds run a 5×3 sticky-wild sequel grid. Sequel extras sit on the cash paytable, not the demo tile. Listed max-win class is 100,000×: a rare top, not a CAD session target.
High-vol stretches sit level with Dead or Alive and Feature Buy at 100,000×; do not size CAD stakes as if it were Wanted Dead or a Wild’s 12,500× feature modes.
Confirm ~96.82% after login. If the panel shows 94.00%, size down or switch brand.
