RIP City Slot Review
RIP City is a video slot from Hacksaw Gaming that was released on January 1, 2023. This game takes place in an alley, where the player is introduced to two characters that are unquestionably based on a well-loved cartoon series. When you first open up this game, Tom and Jerry will probably come to mind, but keep in mind that this is an adult-oriented take on the classic. We gave some thought to utilizing Tom and Jerry words and allusions throughout the whole of this review; nevertheless, we decided that these awesome animals deserve to be referred to by their true names: Ro$$ the cat and Maxx the mouse. We are aware that Hacksaw is capable of whipping up some exciting games, and in light of the environment, our expectations are rather high. You should read our review before deciding whether or not it is a game that is worth your time and money to play.

RIP City Bonus Features
Wild Cat Feature
If expanding Wild Cat symbol would make it part of at least one winning combination, it will grow. When a Wild Cat symbol is expanded, it counts as a wild in every position it covers. The only way Wild Cat symbols can grow is down, to the bottom of the grid. Wild Cat symbols that don't grow are still counted as one symbol. Only one Wild Cat symbol can be on each reel at a time.
Wild
If a Wild Cat symbol expands through a WILD symbol, it turns into a multiplier that is added to the whole expanded Wild Cat symbol. The multiplier can range from 2x to 200x. If a winning combination has more than one expanded Wild Cat with a multiplier, the multipliers will be added up first, and then the total win will be multiplied by that number.
RO$$ Bonus Game
In the main game, you need to simultaneously land 3 scatter symbols in order to activate this bonus game. It will give you 10 free spins. You have a greater probability of landing Wild Cat symbols and WILD symbols while playing the Ro$$ Bonus game mode as opposed to playing the main game. During the bonus round, you will get an additional 4 free spins if you are able to land 3 Scatters simultaneously.
During the Ro$$ Bonus game, if you are lucky enough to land 4 Scatters simultaneously, you will be awarded the MAXX Bonus at the conclusion of the current spin. If there are less than 10 free spins left after they have been used, the total number of free spins will be increased to 10. In any other case, the current amount of free spins that are still available will stay the same.
MAXX Bonus Game
This bonus game may be triggered by landing 4 Scatter symbols in the main game at the same time. The bonus game rewards 10 free spins.
When playing the MAXX Bonus game mode, each reel has the potential to become active if a Wild Cat symbol lands on that reel. Once a reel has been engaged, a Wild Cat symbol will always fall on that reel throughout the remainder of the free spins that are available. During the bonus round, you will get an additional 4 free spins if you are able to land 3 Scatter symbols simultaneously.
Our Experience Playing RIP City
When we started playing the game, we were greeted by a pretty basic reelset that had its charm. The jazz music that was playing in the background set us in a playful mood for our test. We have heard good things about this slot, and at that point it was our time to see if they were true. To test it, we used our tried-and-tested strategy which consisted of making a deposit of 200 Euros, setting the bet to 1 Euro, and giving it around 300 spins or so. The first 100 spins awarded us one great payout of 45 times our bet thanks to the Wild Cat feature with multiplier once, and a couple payout thanks to this feature again that ranged from 10 to 15 times our bet. However, there were a lot of dead spins, and our profit after 100 spins was just 6 Euros. During our next 100 spins, we triggered the Free Spins twice, the first time it paid around 29 times our bet, and the second time it paid only around 5 times our bet. Even after we got another decent payout of around 15 times our bet during the main game, we ended up losing 22 Euros after 200 spins. We decided not to finish our final 100 spins, and just buy the RO$$ Free Spins, in which we got an unbelievable sum of 620 times our bet. Now it was clear why this slot machine had so many spins that didn't pay out: the only way to make up for it was with an amazing round of free spins. During our final spins, nothing too exciting happened, except a couple of decent wins thanks to the Wild Cat feature again. Overall, after 300 spins, and one bonus buy, we ended up winning 788 Euros and left the game very happy.
RIP City Verdict
Hacksaw gaming is known for their well-designed slots, and this one is not an exception. In spite of the fact that the volatility that is suggested by the provider is high, in our view, it is most certainly among the extreme levels, high, or perhaps high-extreme. Taking that into consideration, be careful when you play this slot since it can either make or ruin your bankroll rather quickly. Do not let those two fool you, and play smart. Good luck and have fun!
