Deadly 5 Review

We never get tired of wild west movies, and the same goes for wild west slots. Push Gaming isn’t really known for releasing simple and straightforward slots most of the time, but Deadly 5 is the exception that proves the rule, so to speak. The 5x4 grid is framed by what looks like a gallows set in the middle of main street, presumably waiting for you to cash in on the bounties.

The Deadly 5 gang consists of cigar-smoking Billy the Bull, platina-blonde Eliza ‘Ryder’, masked Irene ‘Bullseye’ and eye-patched El Fuego. The base game is as barebones as a ride in the desert, which is often the case in this genre, and the bonus round is all about expanding wilds. Reel 5 is wild throughout the feature, and the outlaws expand to become wild if they land on their assigned Wanted Poster reel.

Deadly 5 Slot Features

The premium character symbols pay between 37.5 to 75 x your stake for 5 of a kind, and the Sheriff Star Wild pays 250x your stake for the same. Of course, the wild symbol also steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and it can appear on all reels. That’s it for the base game really, so let’s jump right into the main attraction.

The Sheriff’s Bonus Round triggers when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters anywhere in view, and this gives you 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively.

You also get a scatter win of 3x, 10x or 50x up front, respectively, and reel 5 comes with a fully stacked wild symbol locked in place for the duration of the feature.

You’ll see a Wanted Poster above each reel, and each reel’s wanted poster corresponds to one of the premium character symbols. When you land the corresponding character on the reel with its respective wanted poster, the symbol expands to become a fully stacked wild. The expanded wilds are not sticky, and will be removed for the next spin.

The star icon Bonus Buy Menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. If available, you can purchase the Mystery Sheriff’s Bonus Round for 80x the stake. This gives you a 60.79 % chance of getting 10 free spins, 18.04 % of 15 free spins and a 20.99 % chance of landing 20 free spins.

The RTP increases to 96.51 % when you purchase the feature.

You get a brief and uneventful taste of the base game, before we purchase the Mystery Sheriff’s Bonus Round. It triggers with 3 scatters at 0:51 into the 2:30-minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Push Gaming hasn’t exactly pushed themselves to the edge in terms of innovation with this release, but Deadly 5 is still a highly playable Wild West slot. It’s far from the deadliest gunslinger in town though, and the base game is as dry as the dusty main street. The 5,000x potential is also lower than usual from this developer, and it’s rare to see a simple, straight-shooting release like this from the usually innovative team.

The cartoonish visuals are solid though, and in this gritty genre it’s best to decide up front whether or not you’re going to challenge the alphas. Deadly 5 doesn’t really attempt to make a fuss in that regard, and it seems content appealing to casual punters mostly. Don’t be fooled by the medium volatility though, as you’re still in for a bumpy ride. However, the 1 in 564,525 max win probability is solid, and it’s a pretty good argument for “why not”.

Pros

• High-value wilds pay 250x for 5-oak
• FS w/ reel 5 wild + expanding wilds
• Win up to 5,000x (1 in 564,525 chance)

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
• No base game features
