Game Overview
‘Why can’t we all just get along?’ asks the paytable of Hacksaw Gaming’s new RIP City online slot, a cat and mouse themed game with a distinct Tom & Jerry vibe! The machine has a cool black and yellow colour scheme, a 5×5 reel set, 19 fixed paylines, and an RTP that varies between 96.22% and 96.44%, depending on the game mode used. The top win of 12,500x your bet can be won in both the base game and the free spin bonus rounds, meaning you never know when you could catch your prize!
The reels are filled with multiple types of wild symbol, the most impressive of which is the Wild Cat which will expand to fill the entire reel if doing so would result in at least one winning combination. If the Wild Cat happens to expand through a regular wild, things get even more interesting as a stacked multiplier wild of up to 200x will be created! There are two fee spin bonus rounds, one each for the cat and the mouse; predictably, the mouses are the more valuable of the pair. As usual, Hacksaw has included plenty of bonus buy options, including a bonus bet, two feature spin options, and both main bonus rounds.
Think you have what it takes to catch up with the pesky mouse? You do? Didn’t you learn anything from watching cartoons as a kid! I guess you may as well try our free demo slot of RIP City in that case.
Rip City Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
The cat may be the underdog in this story, but he’s certainly the top dog in the online slots industry overall! There’s a whole bunch of games that feature felines, in comparison with barely any based on mice. We recently looked at Cats of the Caribbean, for example, and Red Tigers Big Cat Rescue Megaways. This game, however, has a very different feel to the other cat-based games out there, and to be honest, I think Hacksaw’s game is a lot more fun than just another online slot featuring cute cats on the reels! We all enjoy a little nostalgia now and then, and it’s years since I saw any Tom and Jerry; I really wish they would make a Roadrunner online slot! Sigh, those were the days.
The highest-paying symbols on the paytable are the two wild symbols, both of which have a return of 25x the current bet for a full payline of five of a kind. The eight ball takes the second place spot at 20x for all five symbols, whilst the familiar “rave smilie” and a pair of dice are next, paying 17.5x for a complete payline. There are two more high-paying symbols – a candle and a banana – both of which will pay you 15x your bet should all five lands on a payline. The five lower-paying royals range in value from 5x to 10x the bet for five of a kind. While these returns may not seem particularly impressive, keep in mind that the multiplier wilds can increase the value of any symbol on the paytable by as much as 200x, making a 5,000x payline possible.
The betting range starts at €0.10 per spin and maxes out at €100.00. These limits should suit both high and low rollers, but the common problem of limited options at the top end of the range again rears its head here.
Base Game & Modifiers
The base game of RIP City utilises a 5×5 playfield. This isn’t so strange in itself, but most games that feature a reel set of this size opt to use payways instead of paylines. With just 19 paylines available on which to score a win, you will inevitably find yourself hitting more than a few combinations which you will expect to result in a win yet do not. All winning combinations require at least three matching symbols starting from the left.
Wild Cat Symbol
The wild cat appears as a standard 1×1 symbol but will expand into a full-height stacked wild if doing so will create at least one winning combination. Expanded wild cats count as a wild on every position they expand to cover, as opposed to a single large wild symbol.
Wild Symbol
If the wild cat happens to expand through a regular wild symbol, it will transform into a multiplier that applies to all combinations that pass through the expanded wild cat. This multiplier can be worth 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 200x. If a winning payline passes through more than one multiplier wild cat symbol, then their values will be added together before being applied to the overall win.
Rip City Slot Bonus Features
Landing three free spin scatter symbols during the base game will award the RO$$ Bonus Feature, whilst four or more will award the more generous MAXX Bonus Feature instead. Both of these features are free spin bonus rounds that start with ten spins each.
Ro$$ Bonus Feature
The first free spin bonus round plays out much like the base game, the main difference being that you have much greater odds of hitting the two types of wild symbol in this mode. Hitting three scatters whilst the feature is in play will add four more free spins to your remaining counter, whilst hitting four or more scatters will award the MAXX bonus after the current set of free spins has been completed.
Maxx Bonus Feature
The Maxx bonus is the more generous bonus round of the two and comes with a reel activation feature. A reel becomes activated whenever a wild cat symbol lands on any of its positions, after which a new wild cat symbol is guaranteed to land on that reel on every spin for the remainder of the bonus round.
Just like the RO$$ bonus, hitting three or more scatter symbols whilst the feature is in play will add four free spins to your remaining total.
Bonus Buy
The bonus buy facility allows you to place a bonus bet at the cost of 3x the normal price per spin in return for 5x the odds of triggering one of the two free spin features. Alternatively, you can purchase either the RO$$ or MAXX bonus rounds directly at the cost of 110x or 200x the normal price per spin, respectively.
The menu also includes two feature spin options, guaranteeing that two or three wild cats will appear on each spin. Two wild cats cost 20x per spin, whilst three will make a 50x dent in your bankroll. The volatility for these options is very high, so apply caution when choosing how often to use them!
Pros
- The free spins bonus can go nuts if you get a good reel setup.
- Higher than normal max win from Hacksaw at 12,500x.
Cons
- The theme might not be for everyone.
RIP City Slot Review Final Thoughts
Hacksaw never lets us down, it seems, and RIP City is another excellent fun title to add to their rapidly expanding slot library. The theme is great, the presentation is excellent, and the top win of 12,500x your bet is more than enough to keep players interested. What are you waiting for? Go catch that mouse!
