Slot Review: Ruby Reels

When talking about some commodity that is exceptionally rare and wonderful, we say that it has “a price above rubies.” So precious are these crimson gemstones, that they rank as among the most desired and expensive stones in the world. Rubies have been used as the crown jewels in fine jewelry for centuries. Slot machine themes have long been based off of treasure, so it’s no surprise that rubies have been given their own online slot game.

Ruby Reels is a three-reel, five-payline online slot machine title from casino technology conglomerate Microgaming. Coin values range from twenty-five cents all the way up to twenty dollars. With max coins set at five, players have the chance to wager the princely sum of one hundred dollars a spin! In keeping with the overall atmosphere of wealth and prosperity, there is a five thousand coin jackpot. Assuming the maxed-out wager, that’s ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS… surely enough to buy a commemorative ruby ring for yourself or someone you love, we think. As is the case with all Microgaming slots, you must bet the maximum amount of coins to have a shot at the top prize. The amount of coins you can win is subtracted with each coin you don’t play.

The titular rubies share the reels with classic slot machine symbols of the number seven, as well as single/double/triple BAR icons. This is a slot game that is low on flash, but long on substance. If you are willing to forego a bit of novelty and excitement in pursuit of a hefty payout, this could well be the game for you!
