Deadly 5 (Push Gaming) RTP review: 96.39% (configurable)
What 96.39% RTP means on Deadly 5
Deadly 5 carries a published RTP of 96.39%, a theoretical house edge of roughly 3.61% over the long run. Because Push Gaming ships this game in multiple RTP builds, that edge only holds where a casino licenses the top version; a lower build quietly raises the edge against you, which is exactly why we flag configurable titles instead of quoting the headline unqualified. As always, RTP is a long-run average over millions of spins, not a per-session promise: the edge is real and permanent, and a high RTP never turns a slot into a reliable source of income.
Volatility, max win & features
Volatility is rated medium (3/5). That sits mid-range — neither a relentless grinder nor a feast-or-famine title. The top prize is capped at 5,000x your stake, and the headline features are sticky full-reel wilds, character symbols, mystery sheriff's bonus, free spins.
What to know before you play Deadly 5
- Check the RTP build. Push Gaming licenses Deadly 5 at 96.39% / 95.27% / 94.35% / 90.23% / 88.29% — open the in-game "i" screen and confirm you're on 96.39% before you commit a bankroll.
- Mid-variance. Expect a mix of small wins and longer gaps; the 5,000x max sits behind the bonus round.
- Feature-buy (not in the UK). Buying the bonus shifts the effective RTP — the in-game info screen shows the buy-specific figure.
- High RTP is not profit. 96.39% still leaves a 3.61% long-run house edge; it lowers the cost of play, it never flips the odds in your favour.

Our verdict on Deadly 5
Skip if: your casino only offers a lower-RTP build of this game
Deadly 5 is Push's Wild West outlaw slot on a 5x4, 20-line grid, and it's a deliberate change of pace for the studio — medium volatility with a comparatively modest 5,000x ceiling rather than the five-figure caps elsewhere. The four character symbols (Billy the Bull, Eliza 'Ryder', Irene 'Bullseye', El Fuego) pay up to 75x for a five-of-a-kind, the wild typically fills a full reel and turns sticky, and the Mystery Sheriff's Bonus can be bought for 80x (96.51% buy RTP) or triggered into free spins. The base RTP is configurable from a 96.39% top build down to 88.29%. Because the maths aims for more frequent, smaller wins, this is the Push title to pick when you want their production quality without the punishing droughts — well suited to lower-bankroll or longer-session players; the buy is UK-blocked, so look for the 96.39% build.
