Wild Rubies Christmas Edition

A slot from Gamomat and has a fruit and gem them with a Christmas winter twist mixed into it. You get 5 reels, 3 rows and just 10 fixed paylines in this retro slot. Min bet is a low 0.10 per spin. The top value symbol is the red ruby gem obviously and it appears stacked on the reels, is also acts a wild which does help a lot! If you were to get a full screen of ruby symbols then you could get 2000x since all 10 lines would pay 200x each.

Since I soon found out that there is no free spins feature with this game I had to just endure the base game with this slot, lots of near misses with those stacked ruby symbols on the reels just missing some connections, it’s a very simple retro fruit gem slot, I can say why some would play it cause of nostalgia and since it’s a Christmas Edition it should really be played during Christmas time while the non Christmas version for all other times of the year. Playing the Christmas Edition when it’s not Christmas is a bit weird but whatever I played on and on and it took a while to get some base wins until a 10x base win arrived and that was the best one for the entire session.

The autoplay is simple it is eithe on or off, you can’t set how many spins you want, but if you have it on then it will just play forever cause it doesn’t stop on features since there are none. There is of course the gamble features such as the cards and risk ladder. I am certain most people will choose to go with the card gamble as it’s the best, you can only pick colours not suits but it doesn’t matter. You don’t even have to gamble your entire win as you can bank parts of it before you select a colour if you do choose to go for it and risk it for a biscuit.

When I looked up the RTP for the slot at this casino I found it on 94.11% which told me I could be in for a rough time but it is what it is and this casino chooses some of their slots to be on 94% range and others on 96% and you gotta deal with that.

There’s no such thing as bonus buys, the paylines are fixed, there is no free spins bonus features to chase and the top symbol red ruby pays only 200x. I really like bonus features with free spins and this was not a slot with any of that. The slot is quiet with no music playing, no Christmas jingles none of that just the sound of reels spinning and stopping and some occasional win sounds.

Back at the turn of this new century, online slot games were mostly very basic in design and concept, simple to play, simple to win or lose, with no need to crack our brains on how the winnings were being calculated. Twenty years later down the road, such simple games are still available to be played, although not many players remained keen to play them. Multi-reels and multi-rows games are now the current trend, although I am not one of them. I still stick to the old school 5 reels and 3 rows games, but also including a few 4 rows games.

This Wild Rubies game from Gamomat is an example of a basic and simple game of the past years. It plays with 5 reels and 3 rows, has no sophisticated winning probabilities, has no huge winning possibilities, and so would not be attractive to most current players. I am also not really interested in such games, but I do play them occasionally, especially when I have specific reasons for doing so, as in this instance. I want to write a review on this game, hehehe.

10 paylines with a starting bet of just 10 cents per spin is the starting point. Bet sizes can be increased, but that’s not for me here. I just want to get one winning screenshot of 50x or more, then I’m getting out, hahaha. The Ruby is the Wild symbol in the game, stacked on all the reels, and pays a nice 200x the bet for any 5-of-a-kind win. Getting all 15 Wild Rubies would therefore pay the maximum win of 2000x. Not too bad really, but trying to get all 15 Rubies on the reels would definitely be another story! Possible, but not easily.

The other regular symbols in the game are typically of the old standard fruit games, namely, the 7, Bar, Bell, and some fruit symbols, the 7 being the next top paying symbol. Getting all 15 of the 7 symbols would pay only 500x the bet, so that’s not big enough for any appetite, but quite satisfying enough for some. I certainly won’t mind getting that win for sure, hahaha.

Well, Wild Rubies isn’t really a good game to play, but could be quite an interesting game if additional features are added in, like a win multiplier, or some free spins. Anyhow, I don’t think I would be playing Wild Rubies anymore after this, hahaha.
