RIP City Slot Review

Welcome to RIP City Online Slot by Hacksaw Gaming

RIP City is a 5x5 online slot from Hacksaw Gaming with 19 paylines and a cat and mouse set up that instantly made me think of old slapstick cartoons. Maxx the Mouse and Ro$$ the Cat lurk on either side of a grim alleyway while the reels churn out bananas, skulls and dice. The presentation is mostly black and white with splashes of neon colour and a laid back jazz soundtrack that suits the rough street vibe.

On the gameplay side RIP City feels like a medium volatility slot with heavier moments, backed by a 12,500x max win that can drop from any mode. The base game already features Expanding Wild Cats, regular wilds and multiplier action, while two separate free spins rounds and several FeatureSpins options keep the pace high. It never feels overloaded with mechanics, yet there is enough going on to hold my attention.

Cat and Mouse Theme and Unique Design in RIP City

The theme in RIP City revolves around Maxx and Ro$$, two aggressive cartoon characters locked in a constant stand off. They frame the reels, glaring at each other across a dark alley packed with graffiti and smoke. Most of the backdrop stays stripped of colour, which makes the yellow and black high paying symbols pop hard on every spin. The jazzy soundtrack and slapstick animations tie the whole presentation together nicely.

The premium symbols in RIP City are the peeled banana, skull with candle, pair of dice, smiley face and eight ball with heart, paying roughly 15x to 20x your bet for five of a kind. Low paying card ranks cover the rest of the grid and usually give between 5x and 10x for full lines. The standard wild simply says WILD in toxic green, the Expanding Wild is Ro$$ the Cat, and the FS scatter triggers the free spins.

Wild symbols in RIP City also pay up to 25x for five on a payline, which feels generous for a medium slot and matters once multipliers kick in. Hit a screen filled with bananas, skulls or dice and the paytable suddenly looks very respectable, especially if a Wild Cat stretches through several rows. Those bold, blocky designs help you read winning combinations quickly, even when chains of wilds and multipliers land together.

How to Play RIP City Slot

Getting started with RIP City is straightforward. I hit the big curved arrow to spin the reels or used the space bar on desktop, then adjusted my bet with the up and down arrows between 0.10 and 100 per spin. Autoplay handled 10 to 1,000 spins in one go, while the three line menu opened the paytable, feature descriptions, RTP info, plus turbo and super turbo spin speed and sound settings.

Exciting Bonus Features in RIP City

The Wild Cat symbol is the real star in RIP City. When Ro$$ lands, he can drop his jaw to the bottom of the reel and turn every symbol he covers into wilds, as long as that expansion creates at least one winning combination. Each reel can only hold one Wild Cat at a time, but when he stretches through a standard WILD symbol the whole expanded stack gains a multiplier from 2x up to a massive 200x.

Three FS scatters activate the Ro$$ Bonus in RIP City, awarding 10 free spins with an increased hit rate of Wild Cats and regular wilds, plus 4 extra spins whenever 3 more scatters land. Four scatters at once either from the base game or during Ro$$ upgrade you into the Maxx Bonus, where 10 free spins start and every reel hit by a Wild Cat becomes activated, guaranteeing a Wild Cat on that reel for the rest of the feature.

Outside the United Kingdom you also get a yellow Bonus Buy button in RIP City with five FeatureSpins modes. Bonushunt spins cost 3x stake and make bonuses five times easier to land, while 2 Wild Cats and 3 Wild Cats spins cost 20x and 50x for guaranteed cats every spin. You can also buy straight into Ro$$ Bonus for 110x or the top tier Maxx Bonus for 200x, both with slightly tweaked RTP values.

RTP, Volatility, and Max Win in RIP City

The default RTP in RIP City sits at 96.22%, but Hacksaw Gaming built an RTP range so some sites run it lower, with configurations like 94.27%, 92.32% or even 88.02%. I always check the info screen in real money mode before spinning long sessions. Volatility is rated around medium, yet the slot can feel brutal between features, balanced by a serious 12,500x maximum win and a hit frequency close to 18 percent.

Is RIP City Online Slot Worth it?

For me RIP City is one of those demo slots that turns into a guilty pleasure very quickly. The cat and mouse fights, the grim alley and the slapstick animations give it a strong character, while the gameplay leans nicely between calm base spins and explosive bonus rounds. It is not the most complex Hacksaw title I have played, yet the mix of features and maths feels well judged.

From a bankroll point of view RIP City can be swingy, especially on the lower RTP settings, but the slot shines whenever Wild Cat multipliers connect in the Maxx Bonus. Ro$$ Bonus is decent for building medium wins, though it does get overshadowed once you taste guaranteed cats on activated reels. I rate it as a strong medium volatility game with enough 100x plus hits to keep me chasing that elusive 12,500x screen.
