Ruby Slots Casino Review

At the core of the collection in Ruby Slots Casino is the full package of RTG games, from three-reel pokie classics to adventure filled five-reel pokies with advanced bonus features. When playing in the online casino, everyone may enter the bonus page in the cashier and redeem one of the many coupon codes that grant access to 300% reload bonuses, lavish cashback and other fruitful promotions including an enticing welcome set with a x30 wagering requirement. Ruby Slots is widely regarded as a trustworthy site with airtight (though slow) payouts and competent Customer Support guys who can assist in every query or issue.

There is an important thing to do after or before sign up (and login) with the casino. As the case is with the RTG platform, a player has two options of how to enjoy their favorite games: play in a browser (in desktop or in the mobile casino) or download the branded software. If the latter is selected, a player will see a wider scope of games and have access to some exclusive offers that are distributed only across the software, not in the browser casino version.

Deposit options in Ruby Slots Casino

Money transfers to the casino account can be easily made with credit or debit cards, Neteller, Skrill and Bitcoin. This is quite a small selection of options when compared to other online casinos in New Zealand. However, even this minor assortment admittedly suffices to make a deposit. The lowest amount one is allowed to transfer to the gaming account is NZ$30 for all methods present in the Cashier.

Withdrawal options in Ruby Slots Casino

Procedures are simple and easy. A player should login, go to the Cashier and click Withdraw Money. Bitcoin, Check, bank wire transfer and Neteller are the only methods offered to NZ players. For bank wire and checks, the minimum amounts allowed to be entered into the withdrawal request are NZ$200 and NZ$300. As for bitcoin, the min limit is much lower.

Like many other RTG-only online casinos, Ruby Slots has a dragging withdrawal procedure. People can trust it as there are no unfavorable comments as for fraud of any kind. However, everything about withdrawal goes on as slow as molasses, since it usually takes about 7 days for casino guys to approve a withdrawal. Besides, there is also the maximum weekly limit of NZ$2500 that cannot be outranged.

Brief review of video pokies in Ruby Slots Casino

When the review was being written, RTG had about 130 video pokies, with about one new release monthly. Ruby Slots Casino has the complete library of RTG pokies. When visiting the initial game page (Lobby), one will see several helpful dropdowns that enable one to customize the list of pokies.

First, online casino pokies can get sorted by Biggest Jackpot, Popularity and some other criteria. Second, there is a Themes menu showing numerous options such as Music, Space, History and Ocean. The Recent Winners and Top Winners carousels at the bottom show a slowly rotating list of players. This can be useful for those who are at a loss which pokie to choose for playing.

Best RTG pokies in Ruby Slots Casino

Realtime Gaming pokies tend to be quite simple, being equipped with just a few basic-type features such as wild multipliers, scatters and free rounds. Yet many pokies in the collection have some advanced, enticing and profit-generating features that add fun and boost players’ bankroll manifold. Allegedly the best and well-loved video pokies by the provider in question are:

• Cash Bandits 3: a 25-line pokie with the top win of NZ$12,500 if playing at max bet. Players will appreciate two random jackpots and a second-screen Vault feature
• Wild Hog Luau: cartoonish Hawaiian pigs swirl in a dance to award you a Lucky Streak respin feature and up to 50 free spins
• Vegas Lux: having a diamond-shaped field, the pokie offers ultimate entertainment due to 720 winning ways and free spins   
• Epic Holiday Party: the pokie has a unique system of upgradeable levels. If the highest level is chosen, a player can grab hefty wins, 12 free games and one of four progressive jackpots.

There are three video pokies inspired by Jackie Chan action films. Spinning the reels in Eagle Shadow Fist, Fantasy Mission Force and Fire Dragon, a player will encounter their beloved film characters and also stand a chance to win a local progressive jackpot that often goes in excess of NZ$30,000.

Progressive pokies in Ruby Slots Casino

Realtime Gaming is admittedly the only provider to build a local progressive jackpot functionality to around one-third of their pokies. Moreover, the presence of a progressive pot has a tiny effect (if any) on the pokie’s return to player value. This means everyone can play a pokie as normal, without even any intention to win a jackpot, and still pocket generous winnings.

Anyway, a typical progressive pokie in the RTG suite has two or more pots which differ in size. They are often won at random, during normal spinning and without triggering any bonus feature. One just keeps on spinning and suddenly finds himself to be an instant winner. Jackpots grow in size due to real money bets from Ruby Slots players, and it usually takes several weeks for a pokie to kick its jackpot to a lucky player. Popular titles in this group are Plentiful Treasure, Goldbeard, Zhanshi and Coyote Cash to name but a few. Most progressive pokies were made in HTML5, meaning they are compatible with the mobile casino.

Online blackjack in Ruby Slots Casino

There are no live dealer games in the online casino, yet fans of this kind of entertainment can enjoy a full collection of roulette, blackjack and other games by RTG. A fairly small number of table & card games is the only downside in this regard.

BJ is available in just a few basic and advanced variants. In Suit ‘Em Up blackjack, a player will receive a bonus payout for holding two same-suited cards in the hand. Blackjack + Perfect Pairs allows for placing an optional side bet that will win if the player got dealt a pair of the same cards (not necessarily of the same suit).  

Roulette and video poker in Ruby Slots Casino

The selection of online casino roulette is very poor. There is just one game for each of the three types: European, American and French layouts. Graphics used in each table are outdated and fail to impress. Bet sizes vary between NZ$1 and NZ$200 for inside bets and up to NZ$250 for Even/Odd and other outside bets.

Video poker has 14 variants, all are played with a single hand and have a Double Up feature activated after every win. A player may pick 1 to 5 coins and choose a coin value between NZ$0.05 to NZ$5. Popular titles are Bonus Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker Deluxe and Loose Deuces.

Welcome bonus in Ruby Slots Casino

A new member is encouraged to reward himself with a massive 250% first deposit bonus up to NZ$2500 with no playthrough and no max cashout. This means a player may use his bonus winnings immediately without wagering them further. Needless to say, these generous terms and conditions imply the welcome pack (as well as other bonuses in the online casino) is sticky.

Regular bonuses in Ruby Slots Casino

The bonus program is big and includes only sticky bonuses. All of them have friendly WR as compared to the competition but bonus amounts cannot be cashed out. Some instances from the Promotions page are:

• 100% reload bonus wagerable on all games
• 200% reload bonus to be wagered on pokies and keno
• 300% reload bonus and 30 free spins on a new game developed and released by RTG
• Weekly Cashback with a x30 playthrough
• Monthly Cashback for VIP players
• Comp points: they are bog-standard and accumulate at a variable rate, depending on the player’s VIP class.

Bottom line on Ruby Slots Casino

This is a legal, pure RTG online casino with two game modes (Instant, Download) and full collection of RTG games. No live dealer tables are available. Payment options are scarce yet New Zealand still have a few options to deposit and withdraw funds including bitcoin. The bonus program is very large yet no tournament activities are offered.
