1930s Cartoon Theme
The monochrome urban backdrop blends street art graffiti with vintage animation aesthetics. Ro$$ the Cat and Maxx the Mouse play out their rivalry through hand-drawn animation that channels Tom & Jerry's classic chase dynamic – though considerably darker in tone.
When we designed the RIP City game, our goal was to capture that golden age cartoon feel while injecting modern edge through the street culture elements. The jazzy soundtrack complements the visuals without overpowering spin sounds.
Expanding Wild Cat Mechanic
The Wild Cat symbol in RipCity slot doesn't just substitute – it expands downward, covering up to five positions on its reel. This mechanic forms the core of RIP City's gameplay.
Here's where it gets interesting: if the Wild Cat expands through a standard WILD symbol position, that WILD transforms into a multiplier ranging from 2x to 200x. This multiplier applies to the entire expanded cat reel, not just the single position.
Multiple Wild Cats with multipliers don't add together – they multiply. Two cats with 10x each create 100x total, which can escalate wins dramatically during free spins.
Two-Tier Free Spins
The free spins structure divides into two distinct modes based on scatter count. Both use the Wild Cat expansion mechanic, but Maxx Bonus adds guaranteed placement that changes the volatility profile significantly.
Ro$$ Bonus (10 spins)
Three scatter symbols trigger the Ro$$ Bonus, awarding 10 free spins with increased Wild Cat appearance frequency. You're not guaranteed Wild Cats every spin – the boost just makes them more likely.
Landing three or more scatters during the bonus retriggers it for +4 additional spins. If you hit four scatters during a retrigger, the feature upgrades to Maxx Bonus immediately.
Maxx Bonus (reel unlock)
Four scatters activate the Maxx Bonus, which introduces a progressive reel unlock mechanic. Each unlocked reel guarantees a Wild Cat symbol lands on it every single spin.
The unlock happens gradually throughout the bonus – you might start with two guaranteed reels and unlock more as you progress. This creates escalating win potential as more Wild Cats appear simultaneously with multiplier opportunities.

Multiplier Wild System
Standard WILD symbols appear randomly across the reels during base game and bonus rounds. On their own, they substitute for regular symbols like any wild.
The transformation happens when a Wild Cat expands through a reel position containing a WILD. That WILD converts into a multiplier between 2x and 200x, applied to the entire expanded Wild Cat.
If you land two Wild Cats on the same spin, each passing through WILDs with different multipliers (say 10x and 20x), those multiply together for 200x total. Three Wild Cats with smaller multipliers can still create massive results – we've logged test spins where 5x × 8x × 12x produced wins exceeding 3,000x stake.
FeatureSpins Options
RIP City casino offers three purchase paths beyond organic bonus triggers. Each caters to different play styles and bankroll strategies.
BonusHunt FeatureSpins
At 3x your base bet, BonusHunt increases free spins trigger probability by 5x. You're not buying the bonus directly – you're paying for better odds to hit it organically.
This mode suits players who want more frequent bonus action without committing to the higher costs of direct Wild Cat purchases.

|---|---|
| 2 Wild Cats | 20x bet |
| 3 Wild Cats | 50x bet |
Betting Strategy Tips
RIP City's medium-high volatility requires patience and proper bankroll allocation. The slot can deliver substantial wins, but dry spells between features aren't uncommon.
Bankroll management
A minimum of 100x your chosen bet as session bankroll gives you reasonable runway. At $1 per spin, that's $100 – enough to weather typical variance without busting before hitting a bonus round.
Set hard loss limits before you start. The expanding Wild Cat mechanic can tempt you to chase just one more feature, but that's where bankrolls disappear fastest.
Feature buy considerations
BonusHunt at 3x stake balances cost against benefit better than direct Wild Cat buys for most players. You'll hit features roughly every 40-50 spins instead of waiting 200+ spins organically.
Direct Wild Cat purchases at 20x or 50x are expensive but guarantee the mechanic you're paying for. Assess this based on your session budget – if you've allocated $200 and want guaranteed action, buying features makes sense. If you're grinding with smaller stakes, base game play conserves funds better.
About Hacksaw Gaming
Hacksaw Gaming launched in 2018 from Sweden, quickly establishing a reputation for high-volatility slots with unconventional mechanics. The studio's portfolio includes Wanted Dead or a Wild, Stack 'em, and Chaos Crew – each pushing boundaries in their respective niches.
RIP City continues our exploration of cartoon noir aesthetics. The 1930s animation style builds on visual themes we've experimented with previously, but the Wild Cat expansion system is a fresh take on multiplier mechanics.
FAQ
The maximum win reaches 12,500x your stake. This happens through multiple expanding Wild Cats with stacked multipliers during the Maxx Bonus round. We've seen test runs where three Wild Cats each carrying 100x+ multipliers created wins exceeding 8,000x.
When a Wild Cat symbol expands downward and passes through a standard WILD position, that WILD converts into a multiplier between 2x and 200x. This multiplier applies to the entire expanded Wild Cat reel. If you land multiple Wild Cats with multipliers, they multiply together rather than add – two 10x cats create 100x total, not 20x.
Ro$$ Bonus (3 scatters) gives you 10 free spins with increased Wild Cat frequency but no guarantees. Maxx Bonus (4 scatters) unlocks reels progressively – each unlocked reel guarantees a Wild Cat symbol every spin. The Maxx mechanic creates more consistent wins but requires the harder trigger.
It depends on your session length. The 3x stake increases bonus trigger probability by 5x, which means you'll hit free spins roughly every 40-50 spins instead of 200+. For shorter sessions where you want guaranteed feature access, it's efficient. For long grinds, base game play might suit your bankroll better.
The medium-high 3/5 volatility sits between our gentler releases and extreme variance games. The 19 paylines on a 5×5 grid create fewer natural winning combinations compared to cluster pays. Base game wins rely heavily on Wild Cat expansion – without it, dead spins accumulate quickly. This design pushes most action into the bonus rounds intentionally.
