Dead West – Colossal Grid Action with Growing Multipliers and Feature Chaos

Dead West is played on a large 7×7 grid using the Scatter Pays win mechanic. It is classified as High Volatility, with a maximum win potential of 10,863x the bet.

Hot Zones are marked with a red frame and appear randomly at the start of each spin (at least two guaranteed). They carry a starting multiplier of x1, x2, or x3. If a winning symbol lands in a Hot Zone, the win is multiplied by the total of all involved Hot Zone multipliers. After the win, the multiplier of any used Hot Zone increases by +1. Hot Zones can be upgraded to Upgraded Hot Zones (fiery red frame) or Persistent Hot Zones (yellow frame) using the Expand and Expand+ features, with Persistent Hot Zones offering the highest multiplier boosts.

Special Symbols appear on the Feature Lane above the main reels and trigger their effect when they drop into an empty position after an Avalanche™. There are five features: Bomb: Explodes, removing adjacent symbols and triggering a new Avalanche. Swap: Transforms itself and adjacent symbols into one matching symbol. Multiply (x2 or x3): Multiplies Hot Zone multipliers on its reel and adjacent reels. Expand: Creates a Hot Zone or upgrades an existing one, often increasing its multiplier to the sum of all current Hot Zone multipliers. Expand+: Creates a Hot Zone or upgrades an existing one in up to 9 positions (itself and 8 adjacent).

Free Spins are triggered by landing 3 or more Scatter symbols in the main game. Landing 3 Scatters awards 5 spins. Landing 6 Scatters awards 12 spins. The Hot Zones and their multipliers from the base game are carried over into the Free Spins. Landing 3 or more Scatters during the bonus will retrigger additional Free Spins.

Free Spins are the standard bonus triggered by 3+ Scatters. Hot Zones and their multipliers carry over. Super Free Spins are a premium bonus (available via purchase) that is guaranteed to start with all positions on the Feature Lane filled with Special symbols, setting up maximum feature activation potential from the first spin.

The Elevate Feature allows players to buy guaranteed features: Feature Lane Max: Guarantees the Feature Lane is filled with Special symbols on every spin, for 5x the bet. Hot Zone Frenzy: Guarantees every position on the reels starts as a Hot Zone, for 30x the bet. Free Spins: Guarantees the activation of the standard Free Spins round for 100x the bet. Super Free Spins: Guarantees the activation of the Super Free Spins round with a fully loaded Feature Lane for 300x the bet.
