The Ultimate Dead or Alive thread!

[Respin_Ftw]

Ok, so let this beast of a slot have it´s own thread. Screenies, videos, questions, strategies!? No max, no min!

Im sure Rolastan will kick off this thread with a screenie before the weekend is over.

I know i wont!

 

[catapultaudio]

I spotted the discussion about this on the big win thread and I do agree its a good idea, although I imagine some might still want to post their shots on that thread with it being so popular ... but I hope this will take off. It definitely is the game producing the most consistent big wins of any slot I know of online, that alone makes it worthy of a special place at CM IMO

 

[fun4all]

I think this is a great idea for a thread

Can we get ppl who want to post their "omg I won 500x but it SOOOOOOOOOOOOO should have been 2000x" screenshots that "suck" to post them in here

 

[catapultaudio]

Haha yes I think the almost-five-wilds-on-a-line shots would be great in here in addition to the big hits. THe 'screenshots that suck' thread has been full of those recently, and as much as I understand the game and that five wilds on a line would be great, theres been some 500x bet hits posted in there lately which is just beyond ridiculous. 500x bet does not suck, no matter what you might have "just" missed !

I have a question for the regulars and the constant lucky winners of this slot. Has there ever been a time where you got a big win (1000+ x bet) and you lost more than that winning to get the next big win? If so what is the most you lost to get that next 'big' win (if it's not too personal to share)?

My first big win over 1000x the pic is too blurry to upload I won £96 for 9p and put it all back in the slot trying to win big again! If you get a win of over 800x I would leave immediately and either cashout or play another game! Don't go for the epic because you will more than likely be eaten alive!

 

[SPOPPLE]

I think with DOA, the people getting big wins are putting serious money into it, sure you get the odd time where you get a feature and hit it big like any other slot but the bankroll of most DOA players seems to be far bigger than average slots, I hate it but still play it on occasion in hope that I can get a big win. Nothing to excessive on it over the past year, maybe £500-700 and ive had a 100x once and little else and that was because I hit a retrigger..with all wilds in pointless positions, if I put £100+ into most slots I would almost definitely get a 2-300x win at some point like I have every day for the past few weeks and even a few 3000x wins.

I just cant hit anything on DOA though, not played it in a while so yesterday and today thought I would have a quick couple of hundred spins on both days, not even 3 scatters and my biggest win was barely 10x and thats how its always been on this slot for me. I just cant think of any other slot I have played that gives me so little back, great blue is a real shit but ive had good base game wins on that and great features, its not even possible to get a good base game win on DOA ...and still I play it on occasion in hope that when those wilds drop it wont just be on reel 4 and 5.

I think he missed this thread. But guess it will be impossible to maintain this thread as separate. Simply also noticed lot of new members posting in normal threads.

Maybe should had named this thread Rolastans DOA Winner Thread

5 scatters at mybet for DoA (hoping Mybet will giive me the favor and deliver me the

Wuhu,
just have had the 5er of scatters at mybet . pics are following when -mybet casino- send me the logs.
bet was 18cent, my personal first one for this betlevel 450 tacken oder 450 Euro

 

[polli123]

450 Tacken - gut formuliert.

 

[Nicola]

Most weekends, I get 50% match bonuses at several NetEnt Casinos. This weekend was Lucky Dino, Klaver and Smart Live.

I will admit to depositing 50 EURO at each (then getting 25 EURO free) and playing ALL three casinos at once (Mozilla, Chrome, IE browsers). It's no joke, playing 9c or 18c a spin makes 6+ hours of playtime.

Playing three at once is really fun and you often get bonuses together. Check the Screenshots thread, I just hit 5 wilds and now 1300 EURO in profit. Wagering is not going to be a problem on DoA, all these x2 scatters and frequent smalls wins.

 

[rshkrn]

over 700 features and counting :-(.......still to hit those 5 wilds..... hit 5 scatters 3 times tho...

 

[rainie83]

Nicola but if you play in three casino with different browers the computer does not go slow or it stops?
You play on portable?

No problem with the three browsers, but if I start watching YouTube or open Photoshop then things do become slow. As long as each browser has a different profile then you won't have any issues with bonus rounds.

I find this too. For a game with such mahoossive win potential it really does play like it's ultra-low variance a lot of the time.
Of course, it can go on shitty runs, but for comparison I just played one hundred £1 spins on Starburst, and won £25 (obviously a return of 25%). And that slot is low variance. Apparently
I'd be amazed to play 111 £0.90 spins on DoA and end with near £25...

jep, but for me I will not go for 111 spind with 0.90 for each. but your in the end right if the machine is going good you will save your balance, regardless to the spin amount.

 

[citizenx]

So, over the last few months (late sept onwards i'd say) I've been playing DOA a few hours per day, almost always at £0.18 per spin.

My experience has been interesting.

On one occasion I got 5 scatters resulting in a £450 win - zero more or less on the free spins themselves.

I've had numerous features and estimate around 5% of these have resulted in the 5 additional spins.

Usual win when you do get them is between £150 and £250.

I did have one win which got £774 ish and that came out of the blue (the game hadn't been doing much before that).


I have noticed that it seems to be cold for days then suddenly go through a short period of decent wins. It seems that this happens on all sites.

So a few questions for those in the know -

Is the game controlled by Netent rather than a local installation in the respective casino? This would explain the similarity in play across sites.

Does the game "recognise" the player regardless of the casino they're playing? I'm thinking - does it install cookies to know who you are?

Are there known peak times/days where it is more inclined to pay out? Am thinking, during times of heaviest demand or shortly afterwards. For example, early this morning, after most of the Friday night players had given up, I got some decent wins. I remember the same effect playing a fruity in the pub on a Sat morning - loaded up on the friday night, ready to pay on the sat morning.

If it seems cold, do you keep playing? What's your rationale?

When you've had a good win, do you keep playing or cash out?

Is it worth refreshing/reloading your game if its cold in the hope of getting a "fresh" session which might pay out more?

Does it know what your spins are going to produce when you load the game or does it take each spin from a "pool"?

Guess it does no harm to consider these things to work out a successful strategy.

 

[Wild Reels]

Each spin is totally independent of the last, the game dosent care whether you've won or lost in the past either, an online slot works very differently to a pub fruitie.

It makes no difference when you play it, the only strategy involved is betting a sensible bet in relation to your bankroll and realising that 5 wilds on a line isn't a frequent occurrence, so if you go chasing be prepared for a long wait,

I tend to bail if I've had a massive win on it, as the base game is totally boring, and if I've taken a bonus I'd rather do the wagering on something more exciting

As far as strategy is concerned the only one that works for me is to wait for 2 scatters, make my hand into a pistol and shoot at the screen like a madman, looks very impressive when it works , when it dosent work you just look like a mental person

I Knew it!! - I'm not alone after all, Different tactics to get the 3rd 'scatter' include rocking in my chair (speeds build up faster per reel, You can Imagine I'm almost flying if the 'scatters' keep landing on reels 1 & 2, tapping on the exact reel positions on the screen (like yourself looks great when it drops just right) also shouting 'yes' or 'about time' before it actually lands (even if it doesn't) closing eyes and listening for the satisfying 'dunk', quickly switching screen off and racing out the living room (can't manage this one unless starts on first 2 reels ) Lets hope this 'responsible gaming' that's gone to the 'top of the pile' in the UK doesn't extend to insane or weirdos like me

I go whole hog on this and reel Steal making the exact sound effect the 3 sounds and the noise for wins of more than double and on reel steal I do the sound effects too glad I am not the only weirdo among us with these bizarre habits in a bid to coax the bonus round out! Just need a stetson cowboy boots and a waistcoat and then I will be taken away in a straight jacket hahahaha!

My head fully accepts this point but my heart says "too often a "session" will be hot or cold - lots of wins or none at all. That doesn't feel as random as it might to me. Makes me think there is more to it, not in a conspiracy sense but in a protection in the system to stop excessive payouts - i.e. "big" wins only occur after x cumulative (all users) spins. Therefore, at peak times or shortly thereafter, you would see more chance of a return.

I tend to bail if I've had a massive win on it, as the base game is totally boring, and if I've taken a bonus I'd rather do the wagering on something more exciting

I find DOA exciting - you never know whether you're about to get a ridiculous return on pennies. On a risk vs return ratio it must be one of the more exciting games.

As far as strategy is concerned the only one that works for me is to wait for 2 scatters, make my hand into a pistol and shoot at the screen like a madman, looks very impressive when it works , when it dosent work you just look like a mental person

Nice one. You can be sure i'll be doing that from now on!

Wild line in free spins

Last night managed my sticky wild line (3000 to 1),for the
2nd time in about 2 weeks (2200 to 1) and the 3rd time (3000 to 1)
since starting to play this game,which has been a while now.
Even the 5 scatters for 1500 to 1 is quite a treat! The only thing
left is to get a wild line in regular spins.
I'll play the game quite infrequently now because of it's propensity
to vacuum ones account dry...but when it starts to give....ride with it.

Congrats on your wild line, but I hate to say you are wrong about the payout for the scatters it is even better than 1500/1 it is 2500/1

 

[loren]

thanks dave1888

You are right about the 2500 for the scatters...it's been a while back...
1500 for the regular wild line I've yet to get...
considering 5 scatters in jurassic park only pays a 100 to...
DOA is such a great game when it is in the giving mode...

[chrisigissi]

That´s DOA

just wanted to clear my balance of 15 cent by leovegas and thought "ok one spin and an half by doa".
second spin, reduced of 6 lines give me 5 hats
Then autoplay, 6th spin bam bam bam give the feature. And that was the result (wild lined up on last spin from the 5 additional spins)

Very close to 800x bet brilliant for 9p!

Just to say managed to get all five guns the other day at thrills at 0.45 bet £1125.00 return! I dont post here much but hey
i made money for once!good luck everyone..great slot for value hunters.

 

[muziq]

my DOA story

folks

when i started playing influenced by all screenies here i started to play doa
i always hated playing 9 lines i hardly played them but i played DOA cus i love sticky wild and also cus of the hit potential

but it was ruthless to me and i stopped playing it for like 2 years

now as im on good roll on i decided to give it a careful go now i play it like when i go up in a session
i would give a 60 to DOA in .45 bets luckily im up on many times this month and i gave DOA this selective shot


yet to have 1000 spins in doa im happy i have achieved this far no wildline yet no 5 scatters yet (4 .3 times )

best 5 wilds not a wild line win so far

 

[bowki]

Microgaming was very hard to me for the last weeks so i decided to give Netent a chance. Not my worst decision. Merry Christmas to me.

Wow just 10grand amazing win there! More than enough wilds!

 

[bowki]

Yeah craziest thing abouthtat is im not one of the DOA grinders. I only give it 100-200 spins to see if im lucky. And i was twice this year % Scatters for a nice 4.5k wi and now this. It was my first wildline ever btw


edit: and please excuse my horrible english. went out with friends and had a couple of drinks on me

 

[rshkrn]

am now nearing a 1000 (yes a THOUSAND!!!!) features without getting a single 5 wild line in any of them.....have got the 5 wilds across reels but never lined up.....got 5 scatters thrice but that's about it.....am really hoping to get the 5 wilds this year

I've had the opposite to you wildline twice and never had 5 scatters at all anywhere and I've gone thousands of rounds on DOA earlier I came very close to a wildline again but it just evaded me! I'll put screenshot on later sleep now DOA too addictive as is JATB! lol! You'll get it eventually just have to keep trying it took me +2 years to get it!

Good going on such little amount of spins I was betting 1.80 for a good while earlier just had a feeling and wasn't far wrong shortly after I changed it down to 90cents the free spins came up and I hit a feature worth +486x bet Not as good as yours but nearly that wild line and as I was down to €36 from €290 I had no complaints ! +€180 right now

 

[Nate]

So a few questions for those in the know -

Is the game controlled by Netent rather than a local installation in the respective casino? This would explain the similarity in play across sites.

There is a central server from which they all run (So I was informed). Yes there is a lot of similarity in the behavior of NetEnt Slots across different sites. Try playing DOA on 2 - 3 Different Casinos and see how often you get 2 scatters on different Casinos together or trigger the feature at the same time.

There are also days where they play completely differently from each other at different casinos. I suppose, you won't know what you are in for.

There are days that every place I play is utterly dead - Then days where I get at least 100x - 200x at each Casino.

DOA is streaky, but in a nutshell, yes the game plays noticeably similar across different sites. If you play this game as much as I do, then you will begin to see what I mean.

[lotusch]

Well I come to a point now where I believe I cannot hit 5 scatters or 5 wilds on a pay line.
Tens of thousands of spins on this joke and most of them at one particular casino,one thinks I would be due for a nice hit but nothing even close to that.
Had a couple of 400-500x stake wins when I had 5 wilds on all reels but not on a pay line.Like 3 or 4 times maybe.
Kind of a joke.

Have no clue how this machine chucks out it's wins as some people hit big multiple times in a short period.
My RTP is around 94% on this so I do not lose big on it either but a giant hit is impossible for me it seems.

Well, superstition, I know BUT have you tried elsewhere. Sometimes some Casinos have the worst streaks on DOA whilst others I have insane luck on. Mix it up a bit

Nate

Yeah I know Nate...
I play it also on other casino's but do like 200 spins and if nothing comes I leave it...
But at my favo casino I have done let's say 85% of all spins I ever done on this slot...
I play this slot for well over a year now and still thinking of Blathaon's great schedule with all his free game payouts I was hoping to hit one of the biggies also soon...
According to the stats I should be well due to have at least 1x the 5 wilds on a payline,I know 5 scatters are even more rare.
Had 4 scatters plenty of times tho.

It is just a hard nut to crack for me and I am sure once I hit that 5 wilds I broke the spell and will be more confident playing this slot...

Now I play it and don't really expect anything...

Thats the best way mate - Don't expect anything.

An example - Betsson - NEVER had a Wild Line - 10's of thousands of spins (Blathaon Kills Betsson on DOA ), whilst at Maxino I've had several.

Wish you luck my friend - One day is one day

[asghan]

I'm experiencing my worst streak on DoA. 782 features without wildline and counting. No 5 scatters during that period either.
I almost forgot how wildline looks like

So DoA can definitely be a bitch sometimes.

 

[Gina Wild]

1000 spins and counting and no feature in sight.

I swear to god ,this game drives me crazy .

Funny thing is i am only down 40 euros

anyone else had the same experience ?

 

[Nicola]

What bet size and are you playing manually or auto spin?

I very rarely go over 100 spins without a bonus. If I do, I stop for 5 seconds then go back to autospin.

 

[Gina Wild]

90 cents , autospin

But i dont think it makes any difference

But thanks for your reply , i will test it .

 

[noikoi]

This game can on a very rare occation go dead for close to 1000 spins without giving a bonus round. And when this happens its best to wait and play later. Because it will be very cold. But when it picks up again it usually gives out many bonuses in a very few spins.

My last session this happened to me aswell close to 700 spins and no bonus. Then i finally got the bonus and won only 5 on a 0.45 bet. But then in less than 10 spins i got the bonus again and won over 1000 euros 5 wilds lined up. Then the next 200 spins i got the bonus 7 or 8 times, again winning over 1000 euros on a bonus round with 5 wilds lining up. So some times after it goes dead it pays well but other times its just dead.

 

[plasticnote]

had a session of nearly 2000 spins with no bonus, next day, in 2000 spins I hit 27 bonus with one of them paid 3000x

well done ! i cannot buy a win in that place , a fair amount of deposits as well , just never pick the right slots in there (

i get crippled every time i can think of two occasions to where i got very good playtime.
