Both games come from Hacksaw Gaming and both turn a single symbol into a reel-sized Wild with a multiplier. Wanted is the studio's famous high-volatility western; RIP City is its black-and-white cartoon with a calmer pace.

02In the base game

RIP City's Wild Cat only expands when it creates a win, so it rarely wastes itself. Wanted's VS symbols duel for a multiplier every time they land — more drama, more dead spins.

03In the bonus

RIP City's Maxx Bonus keeps activated reels producing Wild Cats; Wanted's bonuses lean on sticky VS reels and collected Wilds. Both can reach the 12,500× cap.
