Check Out The New RIP City Slot By Hacksaw Gaming

Hacksaw has entered the new year by launching a slot with a quite grim name, RIP City. Despite its title, this is actually a vibrant release that mixes an old-school animated style with up-to-date gaming, including two bonus rounds and a whooping winning potential of up to 12,500x the bet.

Rendered in a classic Walt Disney, Hanna-Barbera kind of style, two main characters Ro$$ the cat and mouse Maxx are guarding the 5x5 grid with 19 paylines. The predominantly black, grey and white tones are enhancing the retro vibe, but the provider has splashed the pinks, yellows, blues and greens to create its recognizable contrasting visuals.

It's an effect the studio favors, showing up in a similar way in previous releases like Chaos Crew, Outlaws Inc and Break Bones. However, RIP City might have more personality, achieved through the two main characters and their obvious animosity.

When it comes to gameplay, the volatility is at a medium level. Watch out for a peeled banana, a skull with a candle on top, two dice, a smiley face and an eight-ball/heart icon as these are the most valuable regular symbols.

The game comes with a regular Wild and a Wild Cat symbol. If there is a chance for a Wild Cat to participate in a winning combination, it will expand to the bottom of its reel when it lands.

To make things better, each position covered by the expanded Wild Cat symbol is wild. In case a Wild Cat icon expands through a regular Wild, the multiplier of up to 200x is applied to the entire expanded Wild Cat symbol.

To make the theme of the game honored completely, both protagonists have their own bonus rounds. The Ro$$ Bonus activated with 3 Scatters in view awards 10 free spins and has a higher chance of landing Wild Cat symbols.

Maxx Bonus is triggered when 4 Scatters land at the same time and also awards 10 free spins. In this bonus round, when a Wild Cat symbol lands, it activates its reel. After a reel is activated, a Wild Cat symbol is guaranteed to drop on that reel until the feature ends.

Those who don't want to wait for Scatters to hit can activate the special features via the Bonus Buy option. Both bonus rounds can be purchased, alongside three more variants that increase the chances of triggering the bonus game, guaranteeing at least 2 Wild Cat symbols or at least 3 Wild Cats on each spin.

RIP City is a game that will certainly delight the fans of Hacksaw Gaming's work. It has a huge winning potential, an engaging bonus round and a great story that is followed through the teeth with both visuals and soundtrack, marking a great start of 2023 for the studio.
