About this Slot
Dead Heat is a sports-themed cluster pays slot by Lucky Bastards Studio with an RTP of 96.5%, high volatility and a maximum win of 10,000x. The game plays across 6 reels and 4 rows.
Wins form through cascading symbols, where consecutive matches trigger tumbles that build a multiplier across the round. The tumble multiplier rises from 1 to 200 per round and resets each round.
The Shootout bonus begins when three matching rival cards land. Bluff starts ahead, and the rival scores to tie the match. Bluff's basket awards a buff, while the rival's basket triggers either a signature play or Crowd Rally. Every possession within the Shootout resets the tumble multiplier. Bluff's Shot can trigger Wild Rain, Spin Mult, or Low Sweep modifiers during play.
Three bonus buy options let you pick your rival. VS Ash costs 60x bet and starts the Buzzer Run with a 3-0 lead, where the maximum win reaches 1,000x. VS Watts costs 100x bet and begins The Beatdown with a 5-0 lead, offering a maximum win of 10,000x. VS Otto costs 200x bet and activates Blackout with a 7-0 lead, also capped at 10,000x.
