| When “Dead or Alive 2” launched in 2019, it quickly cemented its reputation as one of NetEnt’s most volatile online slots. Unlike the flood of mid-volatility titles flooding casino Cool zino, this game made no secret of its math: a maximum advertised win of 111,111x your stake, an RTP of 96.8%, and three distinct free spin modes with different risk profiles. The promise was clear — small wins would be rare, but hit the right sequence, and the game could drop payouts that look like they belong in a lottery draw. Over the years, streamers and ordinary players alike have tested its extremes. In January 2023, a Romanian player documented a €0.18 spin that hit a €9,999.90 jackpot on the High Noon Saloon free spins mode, a staggering 55,555x multiplier. The clip made rounds on Reddit’s r/BigWins and drew attention for another reason: the bonus took over 3,000 base spins to trigger, costing roughly €540 in total wagers before the explosion. This aligned almost perfectly with NetEnt’s own hit frequency data, which suggests free spins land once every 180–200 spins on average — but the high-value ones are far rarer. Part of the game’s appeal is its transparent volatility model. The Old Saloon mode offers sticky wilds, a throwback to the original “Dead or Alive,” and statistically delivers the most consistent bonus returns, averaging 70–100x stake in community-tracked sessions. High Noon Saloon, however, doubles wild multipliers with every reel they land on, making the top wins mathematically possible but heavily reliant on perfect wild placement. Train Heist, the third option, increases multipliers with every wild and grants extra spins, appealing to players who prefer progressive build-ups over instant fireworks. Casino data leaks and affiliate stat tracking provide a broader picture. One mid-tier European casino reported that in Q2 2024, “Dead or Alive 2” ranked in their top 10 games by turnover despite being five years old, with an average session length of 23 minutes. Interestingly, while only 7% of players ended sessions in profit, those who did were disproportionately likely to have triggered High Noon Saloon, confirming the game’s status as a “boom or bust” slot. For strategy-minded players, anecdotal evidence from forums like Casinomeister and Slotcatalog paints a consistent story: bankroll management is critical. A common rule among veterans is to bring at least 300–500 spins’ worth of budget to seriously chase the big bonuses, accepting that multiple dead sessions are the norm. As one poster put it, “If you want a steady drip-feed, this isn’t your slot. If you want a story to tell, it might be worth the risk.” From a market perspective, “Dead or Alive 2” also shows the longevity that high-volatility slots can achieve in an era of rapid content churn. While hundreds of new titles launch every year, few retain both player interest and streamer coverage for half a decade. For operators, it remains a reliable traffic driver — a game that doesn’t just pay in jackpots, but in watch time, deposits, and that rare intangible in online gambling: legend status. |

| The wording is tricky I agree. Calling the first vessel overtaken is using past tense to refer to present tense. The part I pay attention to is the fact they are still in the overtaking situation. This means the overtaking has yet to occur. This means they would still be astern of the overtaken vessel and would only see the stern light. |

| Unless I have misread this question wrong five times the correct answer should be A. How could an overtaking vessel see the stern light of the boat she has passed abaft of beam of? |
