Dead Headz

Dead Headz by Jinx Gaming turns its bonus round into a shooting gallery. Land the Golden Skull Scatter three times and the game shifts to a 3-reel, 6-row arena where a revolver cylinder determines which reels get shot, and the zombies you hit determine whether values are added to one meter or all three. Wild multipliers up to 20x keep the base game active, and with a 10,000x max win cap and high volatility on a 5x5 grid across 19 paylines, this December 2025 release rewards players who commit to the mechanic.

What is Dead Headz?

Dead Headz is a 5x5 video slot from Jinx Gaming with a 94.34% RTP, high volatility, and a top win of 10,000x your bet. The standout mechanic is the Shoot and Loot Waves Bonus: a three-reel, six-row shooting sequence where bullet placement targets specific reel meters loaded with zombie values.

In the base game, Wild symbols land on any of the five reels and act as substitutes with a multiplier twist. Each Wild that forms part of a winning payline reveals a multiplier value between 2x and 20x, applied to that win. Five Wilds aligned on the same payline award 100x your bet directly. The Scatter is the Golden Skull, and collecting three of them on the main 5x5 grid activates the Shoot and Loot sequence. A Feature Buy costing 150x the bet skips the wait and opens the bonus immediately.

How To Play Dead Headz Slot - Step By Step

Head to Wild.io and create a free account to start playing Dead Headz.

1. Open Dead Headz from the Wild.io games library, set your stake, and spin the 5x5 grid.
2. Look for Wild symbols on any reel. When a Wild is part of a winning 19-payline combination, it reveals a multiplier between 2x and 20x on that win.
3. Landing five Wilds on a single payline pays 100x your bet regardless of other combinations.
4. Collect three Golden Skull Scatter symbols anywhere on the 5x5 grid to enter the Shoot and Loot Waves Bonus.
5. In the bonus, a gun cylinder spins each wave to assign up to three bullets to the left, middle, or right reel. Bullets shoot the nearest zombie: blue zombies add their value to one reel meter, green add to all three, orange multiply one reel by 2x-20x, and red multiply all reels by 2x-20x.
6. Alternatively, use the Feature Buy at 150x to enter the bonus directly. Hitting 4 scatters starts with a 5x multiplier applied to all three reel meters; 5 scatters gives a 10x starting multiplier.

Dead Headz Slot Theme & Graphics

Dead Headz sets its 5x5 grid in a post-apocalyptic zombie carnival. The symbol art uses a cartoon-stylised treatment rather than photorealistic gore, with the zombie characters in the bonus round colour-coded to their function: blue for single-reel value adds, green for grid-wide adds, orange for single-reel multipliers, and red for grid-wide multipliers. This makes the bonus mechanic readable at speed without needing to track written labels.

The base game palette runs through muted greys and military greens, with neon-red highlights on the Wild symbols and Golden Skull Scatters. The audio uses a dark carnival soundtrack with brief stabs of gun-range sound effects during the bonus shooting sequence. The 5x5 layout works across desktop and mobile without compressing the symbol detail.

Dead Headz Slot Symbols & Paytables

Dead Headz keeps its regular paytable simple across 19 paylines so the bonus mechanic can carry the complexity. Identifying Wild positions early on any spin is the key strategic read.

Low Value Symbols

The low-value tier uses standard card rank symbols. These fill the majority of the 5x5 grid and pay modest amounts across the 19 paylines. Their primary function in Dead Headz is to set the stage for Wild substitutions: when a Wild lands adjacent to or on a low-pay symbol, its 2x-20x multiplier still applies to the resulting combination, lifting what would otherwise be a minimal return.

• standard card rank low-value symbols

High Value Symbols

The premium symbols are themed zombie-horror icons consistent with the Dead Headz aesthetic. These occupy the top of the regular pay table and produce the most meaningful base-game wins. Five matching premium symbols on a payline represent the main non-Wild target in base-game play. Like the low-pays, any premium win that includes a Wild also inherits that Wild's multiplier.

• themed premium symbols (zombie-related)

Special Symbols

The Wild symbol in Dead Headz lands on any of the five reels and substitutes for all regular paying symbols. Its defining property is the multiplier it reveals when contributing to a winning payline: each Wild shows a multiplier value in the 2x to 20x range, applied to the payout for that specific line win. Only one Wild lands per reel, so a spin with Wilds on three reels has three separate multipliers in play across different combinations. Five Wilds aligned on a single payline pay a flat 100x the bet. The Golden Skull Scatter triggers the bonus at three or more copies. In the Shoot and Loot Waves Bonus, four colour-coded zombie symbol types replace the regular paying symbols: Blue zombies add their face value to the meter of the reel they occupy. Green zombies add their value to all three reel meters simultaneously. Orange zombies apply a 2x-20x multiplier to their single reel meter. Red zombies apply a 2x-20x multiplier across all three reel meters at once.

• Wild (lands on any reel, substitutes all paying symbols, 1 per reel; multiplier 2x to 20x when part of win; 5 wilds on payline = 100x)
• Golden Skull Scatter (3+ triggers Shoot and Loot Waves Bonus)
• Zombie symbols in bonus: Blue (adds to single reel meter), Green (adds to all 3 reel meters), Orange (multiplies single reel 2x to 20x), Red (multiplies all reels 2x to 20x)
• Bonus trigger: 3 scatters = 1x starting multiplier; 4 scatters = 5x starting multiplier; 5 scatters = 10x starting multiplier

Dead Headz Bonus Feature & Special Features

Wild Multipliers

Wild symbols land on any of the five reels in the main 5x5 game, substituting for all paying symbols and showing a multiplier value when part of a winning combination. The multiplier range runs from 2x to 20x. Because only one Wild appears per reel, a spin with three contributing Wilds can apply three different multipliers to three different line wins on the same evaluation. Landing five Wilds on a single payline bypasses the multiplier system entirely and pays a flat 100x the bet, making it the single largest base-game combination available.

Shoot and Loot Waves Bonus

The Shoot and Loot Waves Bonus activates when three Golden Skull Scatters land on the main 5x5 grid. The game transitions to a 3-reel, 6-row arena populated with zombie symbols. Each wave represents one spin of the gun cylinder, which determines how many bullets fire and at which reel: left, middle, or right. Up to three bullets can fire per wave, with each bullet shooting the nearest zombie on its assigned reel. Blue zombies add their revealed value to the meter of the reel they occupy. Green zombies add their value to all three reel meters. Orange zombies apply a 2x-20x multiplier to the single reel where they are shot. Red zombies multiply all three reel meters by 2x-20x. At the end of the bonus, the three reel meter totals are combined and paid as one lump sum. Landing four scatters starts the bonus with a 5x multiplier on all meters; five scatters starts it with 10x, significantly lifting the floor payout of the bonus even before a shot is fired.

Feature Buy

Dead Headz offers a single Feature Buy priced at 150x the bet. Activating it immediately enters the Shoot and Loot Waves Bonus without requiring three Golden Skull Scatters to land naturally. The bonus plays with the same rules as a base-game trigger, making the 150x cost a direct trade for guaranteed bonus access. Players using the bonus buy should account for the high-volatility math model and the 10,000x max win ceiling when sizing their bet, as the Feature Buy scales in absolute cost with stake size.
