Jack the Ripper Slots
There are few people from history that, when you say their name, people know exactly who you’re talking about. One of those people is the infamous serial killer from the 19th century - Jack the Ripper. While the Ripper’s actual identity has never been confirmed, that didn’t stop the good people at Skywind from making a slot game based around the notorious criminal. This slot is FANTASTIC. The colors pop, and the animations are detailed - we especially love the London street as the background. It gives the game that eerie feel that is needed for a theme like this. The music adds another layer of suspense and tension, making you feel like you’re really walking the streets of London at the time of the Ripper. The presentation here is top notch. But can players escape the clutches of this killer with big wins, or will they be another victim? Let’s find out…
Bets and Paylines
Jack the Ripper is a 6 reel slot with 4096 ways to win. This is a cascading slot, so at least 3 similar symbols left to right will be a winner. Those symbols will disappear and be replaced by different symbols. This continues until there are no more wins. Bet sizes are from $0.20 to $200.00, making this slot perfect for novice and high roller players.
Play Symbols
Jack the Ripper has a fantastic collection of premium and non premium symbols…
The POLICE OFFICER is the top symbol. 3 or more of these and you’ll be glad you called the police!
The RING is next.
Followed by the GLOVES.
Then we have the COIN.
And the final premium is the ROPE.
The non premium symbols are the TEN, JACK, QUEEN, KING, and ACE.
JACK THE RIPPER is the WILD. This substitutes for all symbols EXCEPT the scatter.
The QUESTION MARK is the mystery symbol. These appear in the base game only, and on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. They will reveal themselves to be all the same symbol.
The NEWSPAPER is the SCATTER. 3 or more will trigger the free spins feature.
Special and Bonus Features
Jack the Ripper has a wonderfully scary collection of bonus features. We already mentioned the cascading feature, but here is what else Jack the Ripper has…
- Chaos Wilds
During the base game, between 2 and 5 symbols may have a 2x multiplier. These only appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. If multiple chaos wilds are part of a win, they will be added together and the win will be multiplied by that number. For example, if there are 3 chaos wilds, the final win will be multiplied by 6x.
- Expanding Wilds
Wilds appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. They will expand to cover the entire reel. If it is a part of a win, the wilds will cascade away.
- Free Games
This feature triggers when you spin into 3 or more NEWSPAPER scatters. 3 scatters will get you 10 free games. 4 scatters will get you 15 free games. 5 scatters will get you 20 free games. And 6 scatters will get you 25 free games.
During the free spins, the chaos wilds will begin at 2x. Once a multiplier is used in a win, it will increase by one. This will continue until the chaos wilds reach their top number, which is a 10x.
During free spins, the expanding wilds will NOT cascade away. Instead, they remain for the remainder of the spins.
Free spins can be retriggered by spinning into at least 3 more SCATTERS. 3 scatters will reward you with 5 additional spins. 4 scatters will reward you with 10 additional spins. 5 scatters will reward you with 15 additional spins. And 6 scatters will get you an additional 20 free spins.
To Play Or Not To Play?

So, if you’re brave enough, go face to face with Jack the Ripper and see if you can escape with wins!
