The Ripper Slot Review

We’ll admit, not everyone will love The Ripper slot. Some people find entertainment based on real violent crimes distasteful; some don’t enjoy horror. If historical serial killers are your thing, however, then this is definitely the video slot for you. It has chilling graphics and 4096 ways to win across the expansive six-reel layout with all kinds of interesting features. Let our The Ripper slot review tell you more.

They Called Him Jack

Throughout the annals of history, there are certain names that have instilled a sense of dread long after death. Jack the Ripper is one of those names. He’s not the most prolific serial killer, or the bloodiest, but there’s something that’s allowed him to remain in the public consciousness. Maybe it’s the ongoing mystery of his identity or the terror he brought to the Victorian streets. Whatever the reason, slot makers have always enjoyed the opportunity to indulge in some graphic imagery.

The Bloody Streets of London

A cobbled street half shrouded in darkness and London’s famous fog. Gas lanterns provide a little light, but it’s still ominous. Then you get to the reels, and the reassuring presence of the policeman isn’t quite enough to offset the bloody ring, ropes gloves and coins. Even the card symbols look like they’re written in blood. Jack himself lurks there too, which along with the spine-tingling music ensures that The Ripper slot is truly unsettling. You want sunshine and rainbows? Play the Rainbow Riches slot.

The Ripper RTP and Variance

When we played The Ripper slot, it came with an RTP of 94.5%. That’s not a good figure. Most modern slots will be well above that. We also, however, heard a rumour that the RTP can vary. Some casinos may set it higher; some may set it lower.

What will make most players feel more comfortable, despite the always random nature of slots, is that this game has medium variance. Wins should be reasonable in both size and frequency, without going to extremes either way.

How to Play The Ripper

Do you dare walk the streets of Whitechapel?

1. Look right and you’ll see most of the buttons you need, starting with the menu. It’ll lead you to the rules, paytable and sound settings.
2. Just below it is a bet button, allowing you to scroll through available wagers. Don’t overdo it. Even in demo mode, you want a sustainable game.
3. Sacrifice graphics for speed by going to the bottommost turbo button.
4. Above turbo is autoplay. Don’t click it unless you want the reels to start spinning immediately. There’s no setting a spin amount or adding your limits.
5. You can control it better if you use the regular spin button and take things one turn at a time.
6. Keep it under control and always play responsibly.

How to Win at The Ripper

Most slots have five reels, so it’s always exciting to see a game with six. Add the fact that there are a ridiculous 4096 ways to win and you may feel like finding winning symbols is inevitable. It’s not, of course, because there are no guarantees in slots, but it does make things a little easier when any combination of at least three matching symbols will pay as long as it goes left to right.

Top Wins

• It may be three symbols for a payout, but six winning symbols mean the biggest prizes.
• If you find 10, the lowest-paying symbol, six times, then you’ll be awarded 8x your bet.
• The win multiplier for the policeman, the highest-paying symbol, is x100.
• A Ripper wild doesn’t pay, but the newspaper scatter symbol does.
• Overall the max win available is x100,000.

Bet Range

Your minimum bet is 0.20. Your maximum is 200.00.

The Ripper Bonuses

We haven’t even started talking about The Ripper bonus features yet. Cascading symbols, expanding wilds, multipliers, mystery symbols, free spins: it really does have it all. It’s also creepy about it, if you like that sort of thing in your slots.

Cascading Symbols

Every winning combination in the base game will disappear, and you’ll pretty much get a free re-spin as new symbols cascade down to fill the gaps and hopefully provide another win.

Chaos Multipliers

A win multiplier of x2 can be randomly applied to any symbol in the base game to increase your total win. Up to five multipliers are available at once.

Expanding Wilds

When the Ripper wild lands on the third or fourth reel, it expands to fill the entirety of that reel, meaning more chances of a combination.

Killer Mystery Symbols

Up to five mystery symbols can be added to any reel but the first one. They turn into the same symbol after a spin and will stick in place during cascades, though they may transform again.

Free Spins

• 3 scatters = 10 free spins.
• 4 scatters = 15 free spins.
• 5 scatters = 20 free spins.
• 6 scatters = 25 free spins.

Free spins always start with five chaos multipliers, and winning multipliers progressively increase x1 each time, up to a maximum x10. Wilds don’t cascade. Win between five and 20 extra spins for more scatters.
