RIP City Slot by Hacksaw Gaming

Cats That Grow Downward

RIP City puts a 5x5 grid behind a cat-and-mouse street chase. The Wild Cat symbol occupies a single position until it detects a winning combination below it - then it expands downward to the bottom of the grid, covering 2 to 5 positions depending on where it starts. Every position it covers acts as a wild. Only one Wild Cat fits per reel, so the maximum is five expanded Wild Cats across the full grid.

The expansion itself creates wins, but the multiplier system is where the numbers escalate. If a Wild Cat expands through a regular WILD symbol already sitting on the grid, that WILD converts into a multiplier attached to the entire expanded column. Multiplier values run from 2x up to 200x. Multiple expanded Wild Cats with multipliers in the same winning combination have their multipliers added together, then applied to the payout. Two cats with 50x and 25x create a 75x total multiplier on the base win.

Ro$$ Bonus and the Maxx Upgrade

Three scatters start the Ro$$ Bonus with 10 free spins. Wild Cat and WILD symbol frequency increases during this mode, which means more expanding wilds and more multiplier collisions per spin. Landing 3 more scatters adds 4 extra spins. Landing 4 scatters mid-feature upgrades you directly to the Maxx Bonus - remaining spins get bumped to at least 10 if you had fewer.

Four scatters in the base game skip straight to the Maxx Bonus. Same 10 spins, but with a different mechanic: when a Wild Cat lands on any reel, that reel becomes permanently activated. An activated reel guarantees a Wild Cat symbol on every remaining spin. By the midpoint of the feature, 3-4 reels might be active, producing Wild Cats automatically while you focus on landing WILDs underneath them for multiplier attachment.

The distinction between the two modes is significant. Ro$$ Bonus gives you better odds of Wild Cats appearing but no guarantees. Maxx Bonus starts slow but builds momentum as reels lock in. The progression effect in Maxx is what pushes toward the 12,500x ceiling.

Higher Ceiling Than Most Hacksaw Slots

That 12,500x max win sits above the standard 10,000x ceiling on most Hacksaw titles. The path there requires Wild Cats on all five reels, each expanding through a WILD to pick up a multiplier, with the combined total reaching at least 27x. The paytable supports it - both WILD and Wild Cat pay 25x for five of a kind, the highest base values in the paytable. HIGH_5 pays 20x, and the low-end symbols start at 0.2x for three of a kind.

Alley Cats in Neon Graffiti

The art style channels old-school cartoon animation. A cat stands on one side of the grid, a mouse on the other, both rendered in a style that recalls classic animated shorts. Pink "Ro$" and green "Maxx" graffiti tag the alley walls behind the grid. Low-pay symbols are bright objects - smiley faces, dice, bananas, cherries. High-pays are character portraits. The urban noir palette mixes dark backgrounds with sharp neon accents.

The buy bonus menu offers BonusHunt at increased trigger frequency, plus Two Wild Cats and Three Wild Cats FeatureSpins that guarantee minimum Wild Cat counts per spin. For a game that relies so heavily on Wild Cat density, the guaranteed-cats buy options feel practical rather than gimmicky.
