Video pokies in Ruby Slots

The RTG platform currently numbers around 150 pokies, all of which are presented in Ruby Slots. Inside the lobby, pokies are shown as clickable icons that offer two playing options, Real Money and Practice. There are two dropdowns at the top of the pokie list. One of them offers a few sorting options to arrange the list alphabetically (and in reverse order), from Newest to Oldest and by other parameters. Another dropdown offers 15 themes (Music, Sports, Christmas, etc.) that a player can pick from to display only pokies that fit the theme.

RTG are known to produce quality pokies that are basically simple and have few features on board. Actually, most of the games from that software provider have only a wild symbol (substitute), a scatter and a free spin round. Sure, there are many exceptions in which a pokie is also equipped with one or more bonus rounds in addition to the above. As a rule of thumb, bet sizes rarely go over $100 per spin and always start at just 1 cent per line.

Most pokies have a standard long-established 5×3 layout yet some deviate from this concept. For example, Mermaid’s Pearl has gotten 5 reels and 5 rows, and Ritchie Valens La Bomba boasts of six reels. Besides, there are also a few purely classic pokies featuring three reels. Irrespective of the configuration, almost every pokie is of high quality in terms of graphics and payouts. In fact, an average payout rate is 96% for most pokies, according to RTG spokesmen.

Feature Guarantee pokies

Some pokies, like Aztec Treasure and The Elf Wars, have a unique concept known as Feature Guarantee. Many players feel deceived after spinning reels multiple times without triggering any bonus. They usually close that disappointing pokie and switch to another title hoping for a better luck. In Feature Guarantee pokies from RTG, a player will clearly see an indicator showing the number that indicates an absolute maximum of spins that should be made before a bonus starts automatically. That said, a player always knows how much he has to wait until a bonus starts. In some cases, the pokie offers to “purchase” the bonus, meaning some money would be taken from the balance in exchange for getting the bonus activated immediately. Feature Guarantee pokies are a wonderful entertainment option that decreases the element of unpredictability.

Progressive pokies

RTG are well-known to have released dozens of pokies with local progressive jackpots that mount up by efforts of Ruby Slots users only. To find a related game, a player should pay attention to the lobby and look closely at each game icon – progressives are clearly marked with an adequate label that also shows the current jackpot value up for grabs. Most local progressives in Ruby Slots are random and awarded at the completion of any round, no matter a bet size. Some other pokies release progressives as an outcome of a special bonus feature. There is normally one or two progressive jackpots in a pokie, with top examples being High Fashion, Football Frenzy, Henhouse, Loch Ness Loot and Triple Twister.

Table games in Ruby Slots

There are two roulette variants offered in Ruby Slots – these are European and American tables. The minimum bet in each game is $1, the maximum inside bet is $200 and max outside bet is $250. Design-wise, roulette looks dated and has few customizable settings.

Blackjack is represented with 8 titles including Pontoon, Super 21, classic blackjack and European Blackjack. Some have optional side bets that are placed in addition to an ante, for example, Blackjack + Perfect Pairs pays out 6:1 for a mixed pair, 12:1 for a colored pair and 25:1 for a perfect pair. All things considered, the table game section in Ruby Slots is good, though most tables have somewhat obsolete visuals.

Bonus program in Ruby Slots

Unless otherwise is explicitly specified for each specific offer, all bonuses are sticky, i.e. they cannot be withdrawn. On depositing $30, a player is credited with a 250% first deposit bonus up to $2500. The most brilliant thing is that no playthrough is needed, meaning a qualifying player receives the bonus money with no strings attached.

There are many promotions that are focused on a specific pokie. Examples include a 250% reload plus 50 free rounds on Eagle Shadow Fist and a 300% reload plus 30 spins on 5 Wishes. The qualifying pokies chosen for free spinning normally change over time but the promotions themselves tend to survive. Ultimately, players who chase progressive jackpots are offered a special 275% reload bonus which must be wagered on progressive pokies. Note that all bonuses have related coupon codes that need to be inserted in a required field prior to claiming.
