The Ruby Megaways Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

The Ruby Megaways is a fairly standard Megaways slot game with cascading reels and mystery symbols that features a free spins round with increasing multipliers. It’s like a lot of other Megaways games out there today, but it’s main redeeming factor is the hugely impressive 35,000x top prize.

Theme and Graphics

The Ruby Megaways from iSoftBet has a classic look to it. It’s your typical fruit machine-style slot, with symbols like 7s, BAR signs, cherries and bells. There’s a smooth jazz soundtrack playing in the background, which makes for easy listening as you spin the reels. Overall, it’s not the most complex or eye-catching design but it looks nice and there’s nothing wrong with it.

How to Play

When it comes to get started in The Ruby Megaways, the controls are very straight forward:

1. Once the game loads, click on the i symbol at the bottom of the screen. This shows you the paytable, so you can get to know the bonus features.
2. Beside the i are the quickspin button and the volume button so you can toggle the spin speed and volume.
3. Click on the button underneath SPIN to adjust your bet size. You can wager between .20 coins and 20 coins per spin.
4. Have a look at your autoplay options by clicking the button above the spin button. In this menu, you can set loss and win limits.

Free Spins and Bonuses

Well, well, well – this isn’t something we’ve seen in a while – a Megaways game featuring mystery symbols and a free spins with increasing multipliers. When Megaways slots first started becoming popular, this was the go-to bonus format for these games – so, this seems like a step backwards.

If you’re unfamiliar with mystery symbols, these are special symbols that can transform into one symbol when they appear on the reels. They’re not the greatest bonus feature, as they rarely affect the outcome of a spin and usually just feel like a throwaway.

Then, there’s the free spins round, triggered by four or more bonus symbols. You’ll land between 12 and 27 free spins, during which all wins and cascades cause your win multiplier to increase. There’s no limit to how high your multiplier can climb.

The Ruby Megaways Review

If you’re going to play a bog-standard Megaways game, why not go for Deal or No Deal Megaways? It at least has the Banker bonus before the free spins start. Or, how about Diamond Mine Megaways? This slot has a higher RTP than The Ruby Megaways, and all of the same features.

Buffalo Rising Megaways is even a better shout. It’s one of the first popular Megaways slots, and has the same variety of bonuses (mystery symbols and free spins with increasing multipliers). On top of that, its RTP is an impressive 96.5%.

However, if you are someone who likes classic-themed slots and just fancy a quick punt, then you might like this game. The Ruby Megaways is not a bad slot by any means; it just could have a lot more going for it if even one of the features were something more outside of the box.

The main selling point of this slot is its top prize of 35,000x, which is an impressive for a medium/high volatility slot. It’s not often you see slots offering more than 20,000x so that’s definitely something that sets The Ruby Megaways apart from other games.
