Ruby Fortune Casino Review

On its about page, the company says it lives by four Ruby Rules – Fair, Easy, Safe and Fun and we’d agree these are a good set of principles to judge a casino on. We find ourselves nodding in agreement when we read these – so that’s a good start.

Established in 2003 and part of the Palace Group, which first went online in 2001. It’s one of a chain of casinos and poker rooms that include Spin Palace Casino, Spin Palace Poker Room, Mummys Gold Casino, and Cabaret Club Casino.

With 500 games on offer, this was enough to keep us happy, and when we found out they were provided by Microgaming, one of the best software providers in the business, we knew this was a casino worth exploring.

The bonuses were great (more on that later), and the customer service team was friendly, helpful, and available 24/7. Now that our overview has warmed you up let’s take a look at how user-friendly the site is on first impressions.

You’ll get some sites that wow you right off the bat and others that are frankly a bit underwhelming, but Ruby Fortune Casino falls somewhere in between.

The colour scheme fits the Ruby theme with a colour palate of reddy hues and gem-like graphics, and the graphics are crisp and clear. It looks professional and modern but didn’t knock our socks off.

But that’s OK; the Ruby Fortune site is easy to navigate, and we can find all the important information about the casino’s games, promotions, banking options, etc. I mean, we obviously know our way around a casino, but we don’t see newbie casino players having any trouble getting to grips with the site’s layout.

It was also fast; we jumped from page to page and loaded games swiftly; this is more important to us than online casinos with amazing aesthetics and slow loading times.

Ruby Fortune Mobile Casino

Ruby Fortune takes mobile casino gaming seriously; you can play directly from your device’s browser or download the Ruby Fortune app, that’s freely available for Android or iOS.

The mobile casino is a work of art, and equals the desktop version. And all the features you’d expect from its bigger brother – including banking options and customer support – can also be found on the mobile version.

We tested the renowned Microgaming Slots on smartphone and iPhone gadgets and were more than happy with their quick loading speed and effortless gameplay.

The navigation panel is easy to use, so you can easily find your way around the mobile casino. But if you’d rather play on a larger screen, no worries; Ruby Fortune offers instant-play games as well and loads quickly when you’re playing through a laptop or desktop computer.

Overall, the Ruby Fortune website was quick and user-friendly on desktop and mobile, so we moved on to our next test – the casino games.

You know you’re in a good place when you see a casino powered by Microgaming software. And, as you’d expect from the company, quality is the watchword here.

We have to say that the variety of games is good; with around 500, you could be playing something new every day for months. But if you are like us, you’ll find your favourites and stick to them, so we were happy that Ruby Fortune had such a good selection of these.

There are slots, some with huge jackpots, table games like Blackjack and Roulette, video poker and live dealer games at the casino too. Pretty much something for everyone, with an eclectic mix of classic and modern games.

Online Slots

Online slots make up most of Ruby Fortune’s casino game selection, and you’ll find hundreds of titles here. There’s a balanced selection of slots available, from movie and video game-themed titles such as Jurassic Park and Tomb Raider and progressive jackpots with life-changing prizes like Mega Moolah and Major Millions.

As Microgaming excels in the online slot arena, any game you play will result in a great gaming experience.

Table Games

Ruby Fortune’s offerings for other online casino games are solid enough. As expected, the next most popular casino game after slots, Blackjack, is also well-represented in their selection.

You’ll find multiple varieties of Blackjack, such as European and Atlantic City. Roulette and Baccarat are also available, as are Keno and Bingo.

Video Poker Games

If you like slots but want a smidgen of strategy, then try the video poker games at Ruby Fortune. You can find all the classic variants here, including Jacks or Better, Aces and Faces, and Deuces Wild.

Ruby Fortune Live Casino

The live dealer games section of Ruby Fortune is no slouch, either. While Microgaming is one of the best providers of slots, Evolution Gaming is the leader in live dealer gaming, and Ruby Fortune has a significant selection of their titles.

You can play against real-time, real-life dealers in Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat and even participate in game show-style games like Dream Catcher and Monopoly.

Another area where Evolution Gaming knocks it out of the park is when playing their live dealer selection on a mobile device; the experience is close to that on a desktop. This would be unheard of just a few years ago, but with today’s technology, and an innovative live casino provider, it’s now made possible.

Tournaments

When an online casino site has online slot tournaments, it’s a major plus point. Ruby Fortune doesn’t disappoint in this regard, and it hosts several regular tourneys with different slot games, some with a small entry fee, others for free.

While slots are usually solo games, slot tournaments add an exciting competitive element that players love, and there are plenty of rewards for those who reach the top of the leaderboard.

As is customary with most online casinos, Ruby Fortune offers new players a welcome bonus. The bonus is split over three deposits, each matched 100% to a maximum of C$250. Compared to deposit bonuses from other online casinos, we’d say it’s about average, but there is a fairly high wagering requirement at 70X.

Bonus Wheel

After you’ve taken advantage of the Welcome Bonus and fulfilled all playthrough conditions, you’ll be granted the opportunity to spin for rewards on the Bonus Wheel. You get a chance at the Bonus Wheel every four hours, and the odds are in your favour.

When you spin the wheel, it will land on one of these outcomes – free spins, bonus credits, loyalty points or fast forward (which reduces the time to the next spin to just two hours) and no prize. Even if luck is not on your side, then fear not – no prize doesn’t mean game over; you can just try again.

Ruby Fortune Loyalty Program

While the bonus offer was kind of so-so, Ruby Fortune Casino does make up for it with its ‘Loyalty Club.’ When you register a real money account at Ruby Fortune and make your first successful deposit, they will generously reward you with 2500 Loyalty Points to begin your journey.

You’ll start at Bronze and can progress through six levels to reach the top tier Privé. Each level offers better rewards than the one before, further gamifying your casino experience.

Ruby Fortune online casino doesn’t go overboard with payment methods but offers enough to keep most Canadian players happy. You can use Canadian dollars to fund your account using any of the payment methods below.

• Visa Credit Card
• Mastercard Credit Card
• Visa Electron Debit Card
• Interac Bank Transfer
• iDebit Bank Transfer
• Trustly Bank Transfer
• Skrill eWallet
• Neteller eWallet

The minimum deposit is just $10, and most of the deposit methods we listed above should be instant, though they might take a while to credit to your account. It should be noted that you can’t withdraw funds using Interac, Trustly or Neteller.

You can withdraw a minimum amount of $50 and a maximum of up to 4,000 per week. Bank transfers or cards can take 3-7 days to withdraw money, and eWallets 1 or 2 days.

The first line of defence to ensure safety at Ruby Fortune Casino is its licence from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC). KGC is an independent regulatory body situated in Canada’s Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake and sets stringent standards to guarantee quality assurance in online gambling. It has been regulating online gaming since 1999, so it has plenty of experience in this field.

On top of that, Ruby Fortune also holds an eCOGRA certification. eCOGRA stands for e-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance, and it is a third-party organisation that tests online casinos for fairness and security. Its seal of approval indicates to players that all games offered are legitimate, random, and audited for accuracy – allowing each user an equal opportunity at success regardless of which game they selected or how much money they bet.

An encrypted SSL connection has been implemented as you’d expect from any site that holds your personal and financial details.

With these measures in place, you can rest assured that your time spent at Ruby Fortune will be secure and completely safe.

Responsible Gaming

Ruby Fortune takes its gambling-related responsibilities seriously and so has created a Responsible Gaming page. This page is designed to offer help, advice, and resources to anyone who feels they may be in danger of developing a gambling problem.

The team at Ruby Fortune Casino also offers the ability for players to set limits on their accounts, which prevent them from spending more than they can afford or would like to spend. You have the option of setting daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits.

Players can take advantage of self-exclusion periods if required – preventing them from accessing their account until the period ends or opting out completely if needed.

Ruby Fortune doesn’t shirk its responsibilities when it comes to matters of customer care. The website has a great FAQ section which should answer most of your queries, but if you need to talk to someone, then the customer service team is available 24/7 via live chat or email.

We gave the live chat a test, asking them a question about the deposit bonus, which they answered satisfyingly and promptly; they clearly knew what they were talking about.

In summary, we found ourselves pleasantly surprised by what this old-timer offers; it’s still a gem in the world of online casinos. What you get with Ruby Fortune is a reliable casino with an established track record and some of the best games from the legendary Microgaming software provider—and not forgetting the VIP loyalty club that you can join for free.

Apart from the bonus promotions that we found a bit lacking, all is good with Ruby Fortune. So the bottom line is that we 100% recommend Ruby Fortune Casino to Canadian players.
