The Ripper

The Ripper: Slot Review

Be cautious when playing a slot game called “The Ripper” that is inspired by the notorious serial killer Jack the Ripper, who terrorized London’s Whitechapel district in the late 1800s. While the game’s theme is based on the historical event, it does not include any graphic or violent content. Instead, it offers a virtual experience of Victorian-era Britain, where crime-solving was not aided by modern technology.

In the base and bonus game of The Ripper, you’ll find him lurking in an archway on a cobblestone street of old London. You can spot a butcher’s shop and other stone buildings near the game grid, and Big Ben can be seen in the distance. The combination of The Ripper’s perspective and dramatic audio creates a dark atmosphere reminiscent of a thick London fog. It’s similar to Red Tiger’s Blood Suckers Megaways, but without the exaggerated cartoonish characters and without any attempts at humor. The subject matter is serious and heavy, as expected from Skywind Group’s pursuit of the horrific nature of the story.

The Ripper slot – base game

The game called The Ripper has a playing grid that consists of 6 reels and 4 rows, offering 4,096 ways to win. In order to win, you need at least three matching symbols to appear on adjacent reels beginning from the left side of the grid. This game has a medium level of volatility and uses a math model with three RTP settings, with the highest being 96.5%. Its rating is 3 out of 5. To challenge The Ripper in the game, players have two options. They can either choose a reference bet ranging from 20 p/c to £/€200 per spin, or use the bonus buy button to pay 80 times their stake and directly go to the free spins section without playing the base game.

The low-paying symbols in The Ripper game are 10 to A royals that look bloody. The high-paying symbols include a coil of rope, a blood-stained coin, some globes, a ring, and a policeman symbol. If you have 6 matching symbols in a winning combination, you can win 0.4 to 1 times your bet for the royals or 1.5 to 5 times your bet for the highs. Whenever you get a winning combination, it disappears from the game board due to the cascading wins mechanic. The spaces left by the disappearing symbols are then filled with more symbols which can create another win. The cascading sequences continue as long as more wins occur.

The Ripper: Slot Features

The Ripper slot – free spins

The Ripper has several features for players, including Chaos Multipliers, Expanding Wilds, Killer Mystery symbols, and free spins.

Chaos Multipliers

In the main game, symbols on reels 2 to 5 can have multipliers ranging from x2 to x5, except for scatters. If there are multiple multipliers in a winning combination, their values are combined. If a symbol with a multiplier is involved in a cascade, the multiplier applies to the new symbol it lands on. It’s important to note that each multiplier only affects the winning combination it’s attached to.

Expanding Wilds

Expanding wilds can appear on either reel 3 or reel 4. Once they land, they will cover all positions of the reel they have landed on. If they are a part of a winning combination, they will disappear like normal symbols.

Killer Mystery Symbols

During the base game, reels 2 to 5 may have 2 to 5 mystery symbols. These symbols do not represent wilds or scatters. They will reveal the same symbol on each spin. Once they land, they will remain in place and reveal a new symbol each time there is a cascade.

Free Spins

If you get 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols during the base game, you will win 10, 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. You will also receive a payout that is three times the amount you bet. At the start of the free spins, you will have five x2 Chaos Multipliers on the reels. Every time you use one of these multipliers in a win, the next one that appears on the reels will be one level higher, up to a maximum of x10. During free spins, any Expanding Wilds used in a win will not disappear and any attached multiplier on the wild will increase by 1 for each cascade. Additionally, Mystery symbols are active during this round. Landing a certain number of scatter symbols (3, 4, 5, or 6) will award extra free spins (5, 10, 15, or 20) with a 3x bet multiplier.

The Ripper: Slot Verdict

As the session progressed, I found that The Ripper became more engaging with interesting ideas. Initially, I was put off by the theme and visuals, which made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the experience. Although The Ripper has a cohesive feel, some parts of the game seemed like they were created separately by different people and then pieced together. This observation is possibly incorrect, but it did give off a somewhat disjointed impression. Despite having intriguing concepts, the game’s implementation could have been more polished and impactful. I hope that clarifies things.

Our observation is that The Ripper game appears to have a combination of Chaos Multipliers, cascades, full reel Expanding Wilds, and slashing animation when symbols are removed during wins. However, in our opinion, this gives the game a similar feel to a Nolimit City game but not quite at the same level of quality. We hope this feedback is helpful and apologize if it sounds too critical. The choice of the theme for The Ripper game may have been meant to shock the players. Unlike Mental or Serial, which shock players on a more psychological and emotional level, The Ripper game refers to a real devastating part of history. However, every player might have a different opinion regarding the subject matter. Nonetheless, the game’s theme manages to have an impact on players.

The game called The Ripper doesn’t have many gruesome visuals, so it’s not too extreme. However, it’s probably a good thing that Skywind Group decided not to be too graphic. The game has some good features and you can win up to 5,000 times your bet. But because the game doesn’t push boundaries that much and doesn’t have any vulgar or gruesome content, it’s a somewhat average horror game.
