WHAT IT IS
RIP City in short
RIP City is Hacksaw Gaming's 2023 line slot with a 1980s police-show look and a cat in sunglasses as the main symbol. Five reels, five rows, 19 lines, and a wild that drops down a reel when it wins and picks up a multiplier up to 200x if it passes over a regular wild on the way.
Canadians search for it because of the Maxx bonus clips, where a reel turns live and keeps filling with cats. The studio rates it 3 out of 5 for volatility, which is low for Hacksaw, so it has become a middle pick: a 12,500x cap on paper, a base game that pays about one spin in five, and a buy menu for people who do not want to wait.
HOW IT PLAYS
Base game and symbols
Nineteen fixed lines, left to right, three of a kind to pay. Card ranks at the bottom, the cast at the top, and a plain green wild that behaves like any other. Spins are quick and the base game is quiet; the published hit rate is a little over 18%, so four blanks for every winner is the normal rhythm.
The Wild Cat is what matters. When it is part of a winning line it expands downward, one row at a time, and can end up covering the reel. If it expands through a regular wild, that wild becomes a multiplier from 2x to 200x attached to the whole expanded reel. Two multiplied reels in one win add their values together before multiplying the line wins. A 10x reel and a 50x reel on a C$1 line win is C$60. A Wild Cat sitting on the top row with no line through it stays small and does nothing.
FeatureSpins cost more per spin: BonusHunt raises the odds of a bonus, Wild Cat mode guarantees two or three cats per spin. Most casino bonuses cap the stake at C$5 to C$7 a spin and exclude the bonus buy and any paid spin mode, so on bonus money you play the plain game and wait for three scatters.

THE FEATURE
Bonus round
Three scatters give the Ro$$ bonus: 10 spins with Wild Cats and wilds landing more often, and three more scatters inside add 4 spins. Four scatters, in the base game or during Ro$$, give the Maxx bonus: 10 spins where the first Wild Cat to land on a reel activates it, and that reel keeps producing cats for the rest of the round. Three activated reels by spin five, each carrying a multiplier, is the setup that reaches the top of the paytable.
A dead Ro$$ bonus is 10 spins with cats on reels 1 and 5 that never line up, paying a few line wins. A dead Maxx bonus is 10 spins where only one reel ever activates and it carries a 2x. Both return under 20x your stake, and the second one hurts more because you were four scatters in.
OUR TAKE
Should you play RIP City?
Play it if you want a Hacksaw line slot you can run at C$0.20 a spin without the balance vanishing, and a bonus that builds reel by reel rather than all at once. It suits bonus wagering better than most of the studio's catalogue. Skip it if you want the biggest swings; Wanted Dead or a Wild is the same 5 by 5 shape with far more variance, and Le Bandit is the other mild Hacksaw game if you prefer clusters to lines.

01What is the difference between the Ro$$ and Maxx bonuses in RIP City?
Ro$$ comes from 3 scatters and gives 10 spins with more Wild Cats, nothing kept between spins. Maxx comes from 4 scatters and gives 10 spins where the first Wild Cat on a reel locks that reel as live, so it keeps producing cats. Maxx is the one with the real ceiling.
02Can I play RIP City with a casino bonus in Canada?
Usually yes, and it is one of the better Hacksaw games for it because the volatility is medium. Keep the stake under the casino's cap, normally C$5 to C$7 a spin, and leave the buy menu and the FeatureSpins modes alone while bonus money is active.
03What RTP does RIP City run at?
The top build is 96.22%, with 94.27%, 92.32% and 88.02% versions also sold to casinos. Open the info page inside the game before you deposit; the figure is printed there. The lower builds take a lot more from you over a session than the small-looking gap suggests.
