Deadly 5 Slot Review

Deadly 5 Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Deadly 5 slot is played with 5 reels, 4 rows and 20 fixed paylines. Landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on any payline, on consecutive reels and beginning from reel 1, will award a winning combination.

Bet levels range from 10p to £100 per spin. Click on the Total Bet box to bring up all available stake options. The Paytable shows payouts according to your bet which helps. Outside the UK, there is an Autoplay function which gives you the choice of up to 100 autospins along with single win and loss limits. In the Settings tab, there is Turbo Mode (again not available for UK players).

The Deadly 5 RTP is 96.39%. This rate is above the 96% online slots average. However, Push Gaming does offer 95.27% and 94.35% RTP versions so its worth checking at the UK casino you play at. The best UK slot sites will tend to offer the higher 96.39% version though.

Medium volatility, the max win per spin is 5,000 x your total bet. This can be achieved by filling all positions with Sheriff Badge Wilds. Your chances of winning the max payout is 1 in 564,525 spins (on average).

Theme – chase down the most fearsome cowboys in the Wild West

With a Wild West theme, you head back to the American frontier in the Deadly 5 slot. Set in a classic Western, dusty town, you’ll see a saloon and church in the backdrop alongside cacti. Visually, the finish is high definition as you’ve come to expect from a Push Gaming production.

The soundtrack is exactly what you’d expect from a Western slot, ala Enrico Morricone. Symbols on the reels include horseshoes, cowboy boots, hip flasks and pistols in holsters. Then you have 4 fearsome cowboys. There’s Billy the Bull, Eliza ‘Ryder’, Irene ‘Bullseye’ and El Fuego. The El Fuego symbol is the best paying with 3, 4 or 5 on a payline awarding 2.5, 15 or 75 x your total bet.

Substituting for all symbols except the Safe Bonus scatter symbol is the Sheriff Badge Wild. 3, 4 or 5 across a payline pays 5, 25 or 250 x your total bet. Finally, there is a Sheriff Wild symbol which appears during the Sheriff’s Bonus feature (more details below).

Symbol	Payouts/Info
Horseshoes	3, 4 or 5 = 0.4, 1.5 or 4 x bet
Cowboy Boot	3, 4 or 5 = 0.4, 1.5 or 4 x bet
Hip Flask	3, 4 or 5 = 0.5, 2 or 5 x bet

Irene 'Bullseye'	3, 4 or 5 = 2, 12.5 or 62.5 x bet
El Fuego	3, 4 or 5 = 2.5, 15 or 75 x bet

Deadly 5 Mobile

Created using HTML5 technology, Deadly 5 can be played on mobile, laptop, PC and tablet devices. Push Gaming is a mobile-first slot provider meaning they cater to smartphone players. Additionally, you can play this Wild West game on iOS, Android and/or Windows devices.

Deadly 5 Bonus Features

The Deadly 5 slot has 3 bonus features. It’s all about the Sheriff’s Bonus feature where you can play with up to 20 free spins. With a Sheriff Wild reel on reel 5, the 4 cowboys can expand to give you wild reels.

Sheriff’s Bonus feature

The Sheriff’s Bonus feature is triggered when 3 or more Safe Bonus scatters land anywhere in view. The more scatters, the higher the number of free spins and initial instant win prize:

When the feature begins, a Sheriff Wild symbol appears on reel 5. Remaining in position for the whole feature, it’s a Full Reel Sticky Wild.

Furthermore, there is also an Expanding Symbol feature during the free spins. The 4 higher paying cowboy symbols act as expanding wilds and substitute for all paying symbols. Above the reels you will notice Wanted posters for each of the 4 high value cowboy symbols. When the respective cowboy symbol matches the Wanted poster, the Expanding Symbols feature comes into play.

When a symbol expands, the symbol transforms into a wild and covers the whole reel for that free spin. Billy the Bull will expand when landing on reel 1 whilst it’s Eliza ‘Ryder’ on reel 2. On reel 3, it’s Irene ‘Bullseye’ with El Fuego being on reel 4.

Mystery Sheriff’s Bonus feature

The Mystery Sheriff’s Bonus feature is only available to non-UK players. Otherwise known as the Bonus Buy feature, a randomly chosen option will cost you 80 x your total bet with an RTP of 96.51%:

Deadly 5 Review Summary – these notorious cowboys aren’t as fearsome as they appear

The Deadly 5 slot is typic of a Wild West game visually. It’s well designed but nothing out of the ordinary. The detail of the characters/symbols is very good as usual from Push Gaming.

In terms of the gameplay, the focus is on the Sheriff’s Bonus feature where up to 20 free spins can be awarded. With a sticky expanded Sheriff Wild symbol on reel 5, you want the cowboy symbols to match the Wanted poster on that reel. This will lead to the Expanding Symbols feature which gives you a fully wild reel on that reel.

If you manage this on reels 1-4, you can play with 5 wild reels on each free spin. This will result in a 5,000 x bet payout (the max win).

With the max win being relatively low compared to other Push Gaming and Wild West themed slots, I feel Deadly 5 will have limited appeal amongst slot players. Games such as Mad Cars and Jammin’ Jars 2 come with 25,000 and 50,000 x bet top payouts for example. The gameplay also offers a lot more in those 2 slots.

Overall, Deadly 5 is quite a simple game by Push Gaming’s standards. It’s still compared to others available but it doesn’t reach the high standards set by the ambitious provider.
