Wild Rubies is a video slot game created by Gamomat (formerly Bally Wulff) that emphasises the very essence of the genre and does away with practically everything else. While that might sound like a rather counter-intuitive move, you might be surprise at how much fun simple and retro slot games can be.

Wild Rubies is an online slot game by software developer Bally Wulff. It strives to provide players with that classic slot game vibe with a little extra twist in the form of the rubies. And while it still features the same old retro symbols, such as the plums and cherries, we don’t quite get that vintage feel here. The backdrop mimics this silky pink surface, which to us doesn’t quite make sense in this context. And the graphics quality here doesn’t quite match either, which, we should say, is fairly basic to say the most. The background of the reels is pitch black, we’re guessing to set some kind of contrast to the out-of-place silky backdrop. And to add even more to the confusion here, the developers have chosen to include the traditional, annoying generic sound. But not to completely bring you down, thing do have a tendency to shape up once you actually start spinning the reels.
First off, the layout in Wild Rubies isn’t quite as you might expect an old school slot machine to have. It features a grid that’s more common with contemporary games, meaning 5 reels and 3 rows. The total number of available paylines in this game is equal to 10, which is still fairly generous, considering the genre. However, the paylines are fixed, so you won’t have the freedom of regulating them. You will have more flexibility with the available betting amounts in this online slot game, though. As a matter of fact, the minimum stake you can place on these lines is 10c per single spin. And the maximum possible wager amount you can enjoy here is $20 per spin. But now let’s have a better look at the classic symbols here.As we already mentioned briefly in the beginning, Wild Rubies boasts all your most favorite and recognizable fruit symbols. And traditionally, they begin with the lower value cherry symbols, along with the equally low paying lemons, oranges and plums. Following these, we have another two fruit symbols, only from a slightly higher value category – the watermelon and grape symbols. Then there’s the golden bell and the BAR icon. And that takes us to the two higher value icons: the double BAR and the lucky golden seven. Both of these can offer you payouts of up to 50 times your total stake. But to really pocket the motherlode, you will be looking to land the red ruby icons. Here the value rises up to 200 times your bet! Note also that the rubies here are the Wild symbol and can appear in any position on the reels. As the Wild, it can replace any of the other symbols on the reels to help create winning combinations. Better yet, there aren’t even any exceptions as to the symbols the Wild can substitute for.
But don’t be quick to despair. As this is also a Bally Wulff slot game, you can by the very least count on the good old Gamble feature, which has pretty much become the signature for this developer. It will allow you the opportunity to make the most out of any successful spin by gambling the prize from it and potentially also multiplying it. Furthermore, you even get to choose one of two different side games. One is the typical ladder game and the other is the playing card game. You can also choose to only gamble half of the amount you won in a spin, if you like. That way in case you lose, you will still get to take home the other half.
