Cats and mice have been natural foes for a long time. Not just in the real world but in TV and movies too, as well (Tom & Jerry cartoons immediately come into mind). Now the two species are back at it in an online slot from developer Hacksaw Gaming titled RIP City, a slot which mixes an old-school animated style with up-to-date gaming, including two bonus rounds and a handful of ways of approaching the game should bonus buys be an option in your neck of the woods.
As far as old school is concerned, two main characters have been rendered in classic Disney, Hanna-Barbera kind of style. Ross is the cat; he hangs out on the left side of the screen, while Maxx the mouse huffs away on the right, puffing on a ciggy while holding another one in his hand for quick replacement. For colors, the developers used black, gray, and white as the predominant tones while liberally splashing around pinks, yellows, blues, and greens.
Sitting between the two characters is RIP City's game grid. It's a 5x5 matrix with 19 fixed paylines where winning lines of three to five of a kind may land. Mechanically, RIP City has a math model with a general rating of 3 out of 5 for volatility and a highest RTP value of 96.22%. However, take a moment to read over the paytable since the game can also be found at three lower return values. Any device may be used to get the Ross/Maxx match-up, while bet levels vary from $0.10 to $20 per spin.
Further paytable investigation turns up ten normal paying symbols, five low, five high. The lows are 10-A royals, paying 5-10x the bet for five-of-a-kind, whereas premiums are a peeled banana, a skull with a candle on top, two dice, a smiley face, and an eight-ball/heart icon. Five-of-a-kind premium wins award 15 to 20 times the stake. Two types of wild appear in the game, present on all reels. Wilds substitute any pay symbols and pay 25x the bet for a five-of-a-kind line.
This cat-and-mouse game has features that include an expanding Wild Cat symbol, Ross Bonus round, Maxx Bonus round, and five feature buy options.
The Wild Cat symbol lands as a 1x1 tile and expands to the bottom of its reel if it would be part of a winning combination when it has expanded. Each position covered by the expanded Wild Cat symbol is wild. If the Wild Cat symbol does not expand, it counts as a 1x1 wild. Each reel can have one Wild Cat symbol at a time. If a Wild Cat symbol expands through a wild symbol, it gets a multiplier that is applied to the entire expanded Wild Cat symbol. Multiplier values can be 2x-10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 200x. If a win has more than one multiplier in it, the values are added together and then applied to the win.
Landing 3 FS scatter symbols in the base game awards 10 free spins in the Ross Bonus. This bonus round gives a better chance of landing Wild Cat symbols and wilds than in the base game. Should exactly 3 FS symbols hit, +4 free spins are awarded. Or, if 4 FS symbols land, Maxx Bonus free spins play when the current spin ends - if the number of free spins is less than 10, the number is set to 10; otherwise, the number of spins remains the same.
Land 4 FS scatters in the main game to trigger the Maxx Bonus with 10 free spins. In this feature, when a Wild Cat symbol lands, it activates its reel. When a reel is activated, a Wild Cat symbol is guaranteed to land on that reel until the feature ends. Players win +4 free spins when 3 FS scatters land during this feature.
The minimum bet for the slot is $0.10.

In total, RIP City is a game that should be able to satisfy fans of Hacksaw Gaming's work. It's got the potential to be merciless, bringing the Ramen or Lambo spirit the studio is famous for, as well as potential of 12,500x the bet should the cat vs mouse rivalry spiral out of control on the reels. It's not exactly the best thing Hacksaw Gaming has done, but it still works.
