RIP City is Hacksaw Gaming's cartoon-noir caper — a cat-and-mouse, slapstick world starring Ro$ and Maxx — released in January 2023. It runs on a 5×5 grid with 19 paylines, reaches a top win of 12,500× your stake, and is driven by expandable wilds and two free-spin bonus games. If you arrived from our Duel at Dawn guide, treat RIP City as a separate game: same studio, different setting, no shared series.

A cartoon-noir slot on 19 lines
RIP City pairs a moody, monochrome comic-book look with a 5×5, 19-payline layout. Wins form along those lines in the usual way, and the volatility lands at a medium-high (3/5) level — lively enough in the base game, with the larger results saved for the features. The art direction and the Ro$/Maxx double act give it a distinct personality among Hacksaw's catalogue, even as the maths stays in familiar territory.
Expandable wilds and two free-spin bonuses
The base-game hook is the expandable wild, which can stretch to fill an entire reel — turning a single landing into a board-wide opportunity. The features build on that idea across two free-spin bonus games (the Ro$ and Maxx variants), each a different flavour of the same expanding-wild premise, and both routes toward the 12,500× ceiling.
Where your operator and jurisdiction permit it, RIP City also offers a Bonus Buy plus FeatureSpins — options that can boost the trigger odds or guarantee wilds on a spin for an added cost. As always, none of these change the long-run return; they only change how you reach the features.
RTP: an operator-configurable range
RIP City's RTP is not a single fixed number — it is operator-configurable, and casinos can run the game at any of 96.22%, 94.27%, 92.32% or 88.02%. Sources disagree on which of these is the "default", so the only safe statement is the range itself. The practical takeaway is simple: check the RTP in the game's own info panel at your casino before you play, because two sites can offer the same RIP City at very different returns. We give the same advice for Duel at Dawn on its RTP page, but it matters even more here, where the spread is wide.
How it compares to Duel at Dawn
Both are Hacksaw Gaming slots on a 5×5 grid, and both even sit at 19 paylines — but they are separate games. Duel at Dawn is a Western with VS DuelReel multiplier wilds and a single 96.30% default RTP; RIP City is a cartoon-noir game with expandable wilds and a configurable RTP range. They are not a series. For the rest of the studio's library, see the Hacksaw Gaming hub.
