RIP City RTP, Free Demo and Max Win

RIP City RTP and key numbers

Facts checked on 6 November 2026 against the Hacksaw Gaming game page and independent reviews. Casinos can run a lower RTP setting, so open the game info screen before you play and check the figure there.

How RIP City works

RIP City is a cat and mouse slot from Hacksaw Gaming that plays like an old slapstick cartoon with a nasty streak. Ro$$ the Cat and Maxx the Mouse stand on either side of the reels, the soundtrack is loud and retro, and the game went live for most players in early January 2023.

The grid is 5 reels by 5 rows with 19 fixed paylines, and wins pay left to right from the first reel. The low symbols are card ranks and the premiums are a banana, a skull with a candle, dice, a smiley and a snooker ball. A five of a kind of the top premium pays around 20x the stake, so the regular paytable is not where the big money sits.

The key symbol is the Wild Cat. It lands as a single tile and drops down to cover the rest of its reel when the expansion would create a win. Every position it covers counts as wild. If the Wild Cat expands through a regular Wild symbol, that Wild becomes a multiplier and the cat swallows it, applying the value to the whole expanded reel. Multipliers range from 2x to 200x, and when more than one is part of a win, they are added together. A couple of multiplied Wild Cat reels on the same spin is how the base game produces its bigger hits.

The hit frequency is low for a medium rated game, at around 18% according to reviews. Expect quite a few dead spins between wins.

RIP City free spins and bonus features

There are two free spins rounds, one for each character.

Three FS scatters trigger the Ro$$ Bonus with 10 free spins. It plays like the base game, but Wild Cats and Wilds land more often, which means more expanded reels and more multipliers. Three more scatters during the round add four spins, and four scatters move you into the Maxx Bonus. The big moment is landing a Wild Cat on all five reels at once, which turns the whole screen wild.

Four FS scatters in the base game trigger the Maxx Bonus, also with 10 free spins. The first time a Wild Cat lands on a reel, that reel is activated, and from then on a Wild Cat lands on it every spin until the bonus ends. If you activate all five reels early, every remaining spin has the chance to pay across a full wild screen with multipliers on top. Three scatters during this bonus add four spins.

Where the casino allows it, the buy menu includes direct entry to both bonuses and FeatureSpins modes. BonusHunt FeatureSpins raise the chance of triggering a bonus, and Wild Cat FeatureSpins guarantee two or three Wild Cats on every spin depending on the price you choose. The prices are shown in the buy menu.

RIP City RTP versions: what to check

The default RIP City RTP is 96.22%. Hacksaw also lists 94.27%, 92.32% and 88.02% versions, and each casino decides which one it runs. You cannot tell them apart by playing.

Open the menu and read the game rules to find the theoretical return. If the number is 88.02%, you lose about 8 points of return on every spin compared with the full version. Our RTP and volatility guide explains the effect in plain terms.

Max win and volatility in practice

The max win is 12,500x the stake. Hacksaw rates RIP City 3 out of 5 for volatility, but with a hit rate around 18%, sessions can feel rougher than that label suggests. The Maxx Bonus is where the top end lives, and it is much rarer than the Ro$$ Bonus.

If you play with bonus money, plan for long gaps between wins and keep the stake small enough to ride them out. Use our wagering calculator to work out how much turnover a bonus needs before you pick this game to clear it.

Playing RIP City with free spins or a bonus

Bonus terms at most casinos block bonus buys and FeatureSpins while wagering is active, and there is often a max bet per spin, usually around 5 in your currency. Stick to normal spins at a legal stake until the bonus is cleared.

Our verdict on RIP City

RIP City has a lot of personality and a clear way to win big: get Wild Cats to swallow multiplied Wilds, or activate every reel in the Maxx Bonus. The 12,500x cap is generous for a 19 line game, and the 96.22% default RTP is fair. The low hit rate makes it streakier than the medium rating suggests, so go in with a sensible stake and enjoy the chaos.
