Deadly 5 (Push Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Deadly 5 Slot Overview

I fired up Deadly 5 on a 5x4 grid with 20 paylines, set on a dusty main street backdrop. It runs a medium volatility model with multiple RTP settings from 88.29% up to 96.39%, so I always check the help file. Stakes span 10p to £100 per spin and it runs smoothly on mobile. The base game is plain, with stacked symbols doing the heavy lifting, and the real action sits in free spins where the sheriff takes over reel five.

Deadly 5 Slot Information

The low pays are horseshoes, boots, a hip flask and a revolver. Five of a kind pays between 4x and 5x the bet, and they can land stacked, so line-ups appear more often than you might expect on a 20 line layout. Wins pay left to right from reel one, and three or more matching symbols are needed on a line. I found the lows mostly act as fillers until the feature hits.

The character set carries the slot. Billy the Bull, Eliza Ryder, Irene Bullseye and El Fuego pay 37.5x to 75x for five on a line. The Sheriff’s Badge is the wild, substituting all regular symbols and paying 250x for five. The bank safe is the scatter that triggers the bonus. Line wins can include wilds as standard, and I’ve seen those stacked character symbols set up tasty screens when the bonus brings extra wild coverage.

Deadly 5 Slot Features

Sheriff’s Bonus lands when three, four or five scatters hit, giving 10, 15 or 20 free spins with an instant 3x, 10x or 50x prize. During the round, a Full Reel Sticky Wild sheriff locks on reel five for the duration, subbing for all pays. This single sticky is the backbone of the feature; I treat it as an anchor that lines up with the posters mechanic to create wide wild coverage and strong line pays.

Above reels one to four sit wanted posters for the four high pays. When a matching character lands beneath its poster, it expands to fill the reel and turns wild for that spin. These expanding wilds are not sticky, but when two or three line up with the sheriff on reel five the grid feels alive. Full screens are possible, and that is when the paytable numbers on those badges and cowboys start to matter.

There is a Bonus Buy at 80x the bet. My results tracked the stated odds closely, with 60.97% for 10 spins, 18.04% for 15 and 20.99% for 20, and the buy side lists RTP at 96.51%. No retriggers here, so you make the most of the stickied sheriff and any expanding hits. Outside the feature, stacked symbols can still pop solid base wins, but the ceiling sits at 5,000x, so it is a measured ride.

Deadly 5: Slot Verdict

Deadly 5 keeps it straightforward, and I rate it as a free spins centric slot with steady pacing. The design is tidy, the sound fits, and the maths leans to regular play rather than fireworks. The sheriff sticky on reel five plus the poster expands are the pair that matter, producing tense spins when two or more flip at once. The 5,000x max win feels modest for the studio, but the medium volatility suits longer sessions and bonus hunting.
