Rubies of Egypt Slot Review

Rubies of Egypt Slot Overview

Rubies of Egypt is a 5x4 video slot from Just For The Win with a very classic Egyptian set up, but the maths and features give it a sharper edge than it first appears. You get 30 fixed paylines and a max win of 5,000x the bet, while the golden pharaoh symbol can pay both ways. On paper it sounds simple, yet in practice the game feels quite dynamic.

The background in Rubies of Egypt uses a red-brown pattern rather than pyramids or temples, so the reels and symbols do most of the thematic work. To the left you see the logo and a ruby showing the 5,000x potential, while a simple control panel keeps things tidy. I tend to play it on mobile, and the layout holds up well there, with bets and spin controls easy to reach.

How to Play Rubies of Egypt Slot

Playing Rubies of Egypt is straightforward. Stakes start at 0.20 and go up to 50 per spin, spread across 30 non-adjustable paylines on a 5x4 grid. I simply pick a stake, hit the red Spin button, and let it roll, or set up to 100 automatic spins with Autoplay. Turbo mode speeds the reels, and I often check the paytable and help pages first so I know exactly what the symbols can do.

Symbols and Payouts in Rubies of Egypt

Rubies of Egypt has eight regular paying symbols split between lower and higher tiers. The lower-paying icons are J, Q, K and A, and you need at least three matching symbols on a line from the far left to get paid. For a full line of five, they return between 2.5x and 3x the bet, with J and Q topping at 2.5x and K and A reaching 3x.

The higher-paying symbols in Rubies of Egypt are the ankh cross, eye of Ra, lotus flower and scarab. Five-of-a-kind high symbols award between 5x and 7x the bet, with the scarab and lotus sitting at the top. The special golden pharaoh symbol pays 10x for five and is the only one that pays both ways, forming wins from right to left as well as the standard left-to-right direction.

The Wild Symbol in Rubies of Egypt is a red ruby that appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. It substitutes all regular symbols but not the Pyramid Scatter and does not have its own paytable line. Scatters can land anywhere and still count, and I like how the pharaoh and wilds link into the feature collection. Overall the symbol set is simple, yet it ties neatly into the bonus features.

Rubies of Egypt Bonus Features

The main extra in Rubies of Egypt is the Ruby Respin, which can trigger whenever a wild lands in the base game. When it kicks in, all visible wilds lock in place and the remaining positions respin once, with the feature randomly adding between two and nine extra wilds. Free Spins cannot start during this sequence, so Ruby Respins are all about building one strong line-up in a single go.

Free Spins in Rubies of Egypt are triggered by three or more Pyramid Scatters, awarding 8, 12 or 16 spins. During the bonus, every Wild and pharaoh is collected. For each set of ten pharaohs, the least valuable high symbol upgrades to the next one and gives an extra spin, up to four times. Every tenth Wild grants a wild multiplier upgrade from 2x up to 5x, again with an extra spin each time.

RTP & Volatility in Rubies of Egypt

Rubies of Egypt runs on a 96.06% RTP with high volatility and a hit frequency of 24.31%, so on average every fourth spin produces some kind of win. The 5,000x max win sits on the upper side for this style of five-reel game, but you do feel the swings. I treat it as a bonus-hunting slot, giving it longer sessions and smaller stakes so the free spins and upgrades can shine.
