Wanted Dead or Alive is a popular online casino slot game developed by Nolimit City. The game’s theme revolves around the American outlaw and rockstar, Bonnie Tyler, with visuals that transport players to the 80s era of punk rock music.
Game Theme and Design
The game’s background is set in a dark, gritty cityscape with neon lights reflecting off wet streets. Players are greeted by images demo Wanted Dead Or A Wild of band members, including lead singer Bonnie Tyler, guitarists Tony Iommi and Slash, bassist Lemmy Kilmister, and drummer Tommy Aldridge. Each character has its own unique animations, adding to the immersive experience.
The game’s 5×3 reel layout is set against a black backdrop, with symbols representing iconic items from rock ‘n’ roll history. Symbols include guitars, amp stacks, vinyl records, and even stage pyrotechnics.
Symbols
Low-paying symbols consist of standard card values (9-A) in the form of old-school cassette tapes, while high-paying symbols are based on characters mentioned earlier, including Bonnie Tyler’s band members.
The game also features 5 unique bonus icons: ‘Bonnie’, ‘Tony Iommi’, ‘Lemmy Kilmister’, ‘Slash’, and ‘Tommy Aldridge’. These represent the game’s most valuable combinations and initiate special bonuses when landed in specific patterns or combinations.
Payouts
Wanted Dead or Alive has a return-to-player (RTP) of 96.2%, with medium to high volatility. The RTP percentage indicates that, over time, players can expect to receive £96 back for every £100 they bet.
Low-paying symbols pay out up to 1x the stake for five matching card values in sequence, while top-scoring bonus icons reward between 12 and 30 times the total amount wagered when collected in combinations of two through four across a single reel row or on adjacent reels.
Wilds
There are no standard wild symbols; however, all high-paying characters – except ‘Bonnie’ – can act as substitutes for other low- and medium-valued symbols to create winning combinations. The band members also hold unique abilities: when combined with specific bonus icons, they will either increase the multiplier (up to 6x) or add additional free spins.
Scatters
The game doesn’t feature a dedicated scatter symbol but instead incorporates Bonnie Tyler herself as part of various features and bonuses described later in this review.
