RIP City strategy

No tactic changes the odds of a slot — but you can choose how long your budget lasts and what you chase.

01Size the bet for the session

RIP City is medium volatility, gentler than most Hacksaw games. Even so, the big moments come from Wild Cat multipliers and the bonus games, which can take a few hundred spins. A budget of 100–200 bets gives the game room to show its features.

02Know what you're chasing

  • Base game: line wins plus the odd Wild Cat — the 200× reel multiplier is rare.
  • Ro$$ Bonus: more Wilds and Wild Cats, plus a chance to upgrade.
  • Maxx Bonus: where the 12,500× cap really comes into view.

03The bonus buy

At 200× the bet, one Maxx Bonus buy costs the same as 200 normal spins. It skips the wait but concentrates the risk. If you use it, decide beforehand how many buys you'll allow.

04Check the RTP

The standard version returns 96.22%; casinos may run lower settings. The figure is in the game info screen — check it before you play for real money.

05Common mistakes

  • Raising the bet after a dry run of spins.
  • Buying bonus after bonus to win back a loss.
  • Forgetting that the Wild Cat only expands when it makes a win.
