The Ripper

Skywind Group places The Ripper in Victorian-era London, framing the reels inside a stone archway on a cobblestone street with a butcher's shop and Big Ben visible in the distance — a heavier, more serious take on the Jack the Ripper legend than most slot studios attempt. A 6-reel, 4-row layout generates up to 4,096 ways to win, paying out when three or more matching symbols land on adjacent reels from the left. Bloodied 10-to-A royals cover the low end of the paytable, while the higher-value set spans a bloodstained coin, a hangman's rope coil, glass globes, a ring and a policeman's badge; six matching royals return 0.4x to 1x the stake, and six of the top symbols pay 1.5x to 5x. Winning symbols clear from the board and the remaining symbols fall to fill the gaps, with each new drop capable of forming another win until nothing further lands.

Chaos Multipliers can attach to any non-scatter symbol on reels two to five during the base game, adding their values together when more than one appears in a single win, and a multiplier carries from a used symbol onto another symbol after the next cascade. Wilds land only on reels three and four but expand to fill the whole reel on arrival, then clear away like any other symbol once they've paid out. Killer Mystery symbols, two to five of them across reels two to five, all reveal the same regular symbol on a given spin — never a wild or scatter — and rather than cascading away, they stay put and flip to a new symbol with each successive drop.

Landing three, four, five or six scatters opens the free spins bonus for 10, 15, 20 or 25 goes in turn, plus an immediate 3x-stake payout. The round opens with five multipliers set at x2 already on the reels, each rising by one step, up to x10, once it has been used in a win. Expanding Wilds stay locked in place through the round instead of cascading off, and any multiplier riding on one climbs by a further point with every cascade. Mystery symbols keep working throughout, and hitting another three to six scatters mid-round extends the spins by 5, 10, 15 or 20 along with another 3x payout.

Bets run from 0.20 to 200 a spin, or 80x the stake to buy straight into the free spins. Rated medium volatility at three out of five, The Ripper's highest of three RTP settings is 96.5%, with a maximum win of 5,000x the stake.
