RIP City

RIP City is a 5-reel, 5-row slot by Hacksaw Gaming, released in 2023. Its published return to player is 96.22% and the provider rates its volatility as 3 / 5.

How RIP City plays

A 5x5, 19-line game. The Wild Cat symbol drops down to become an expanded wild, possibly covering the whole reel, and any regular wild it covers turns into a multiplier applied to the whole expanded Wild Cat. The Ro$$ bonus game makes Wild Cats more frequent, and five in the top row fills the screen with expanded Wild Cats. In the Maxx bonus game the first Wild Cat on a reel activates it, and activated reels get new Wild Cats in every remaining spin.

Theme: Cartoon cat and mouse, city setting. Filed under Crime and heists.

Features in this game

  • Expanding wilds: A wild symbol that grows to cover its whole reel (or more) when it lands, substituting in every position it covers.
  • Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
  • Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.

What the figures mean

An RTP of 96.22% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.78%, so every £100 staked costs £3.78 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.56, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.

Several versionsHacksaw Gaming offers RIP City at 96.22%, 94.27%, 92.32%, 88.02%. The casino picks one. The difference matters: over £1,000 of stakes, 96.22% and 88.02% differ by £82.00 in expected cost.

The provider rates volatility as 3 / 5. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.

Playing in Great BritainBonus buy is not offered on GB-licensed sites: the Gambling Commission told licensees on 17 Jan 2020 that bonus buys breach its Remote Technical Standards. The provider page also markets FeatureSpins (a higher stake for better bonus odds or guaranteed Wild Cats); it does not say whether these are offered in GB. Every online slot in GB runs with a minimum 2.5 seconds per spin, no autoplay and a stake cap of £5 per spin (£2 if you are 18 to 24). The GB rules.
