Vicetown by HyperionPlay puts a five-reel, four-row slot inside a noir crime city, with vintage cars and red lighting setting the scene. Ordinary spins resolve combinations across 30 paylines, but the more distinctive action develops over several turns. Reel counters build toward Super Wilds that grow down the board, giving you something to follow beyond the latest paying combination.
Quick take: Growing Super Wilds give Vicetown a moving target, while their presence keeps Free Spins running.
Theme and Gameplay
The crime-city setting frames a board where the position of a Wild matters as much as its arrival. Each reel has its own counter. Three Super Wild triggers on that reel create a Wild at the top, which then grows downward by one position per spin before disappearing after reaching the bottom.
That gives ordinary play two useful things to watch: which reel is approaching a new Wild, and how far an existing one has progressed. A counter building on one column and a Wild already moving through another represent different stages of the same feature. The next spin can therefore matter for both its immediate line result and the changing Wild coverage.
Slot Features
Three Scatters start Free Spins with a Super Wild in the center. The round continues while a Super Wild remains visible, so the important measure is the Wild's continued presence rather than just a starting allocation of turns. Its movement gives the free round a concrete point of attention as the reels keep spinning.
Two Scatters advance a collection meter. Completing that meter upgrades the next free-spin trigger to Super Free Spins, which begin with two Super Wilds and a multiplier that rises each spin. Filling the meter prepares a stronger entry; the later trigger is still needed to begin that upgraded round.
Bonus tokens can also randomly open a face-down card game. Here, the objective switches from reel combinations to finding three matching multipliers, adding a brief matching task alongside the growing-Wild play.
Feature focus: A completed collection meter improves the next Free Spins trigger: two starting Super Wilds and a rising multiplier give that later round a different starting position.
RTP and Win Potential
Vicetown lists 96.65% RTP and medium volatility. RTP describes a theoretical long-term return, while the volatility rating suggests a middle-range payout profile rather than a promise of steady results. Within the features, Wild coverage and the Super Free Spins multiplier are separate things to follow: one changes the board, while the other increases the scale of qualifying wins.
My Thoughts On This Slot
Vicetown gives its Wilds a useful lifespan. Watching one develop down a reel makes the feature easier to follow than a bonus built only around a rising number. Linking the duration of Free Spins to visible Super Wilds also gives that movement a purpose beyond changing the next reel result.
The collection meter adds a longer goal, although waiting for the subsequent trigger may feel less immediate than receiving an upgrade as soon as the meter fills. This is a good fit for someone who enjoys tracking progress across spins. Anyone who prefers each turn to settle everything at once may find the counters and developing Wilds more involved than they want.
Final Take: Vicetown's growing Wilds give both ordinary spins and the free round a clear sense of progression.
