Ruby Jade

Ruby Jade from Nucleus Gaming promises some quite massive wins, reaching over half a million. Of course, you need to be betting high in that case, but that doesn’t mean you can’t score big multipliers with lower bankrolls either.

There’s more than just big numbers that attract players to this slot. Cascading wins, transforming symbols, and substantial numbers of bonus spins also do their part.

Theme And Symbols

Ruby seems to be the main character here, on the lookout for jade in some deep caverns. The reels are full of symbols, from crystals to mining tools, torches, emeralds, gems and diamonds.

Light animations are part of the gameplay, and there’s a bit of adventurous music in play too. It’s worth mentioning that this game looks pretty good on mobile devices, and the way the screen incorporates the background and the feeling make this a very immersive game.

Betting Options And Other Functions

The first thing you’ll notice is the pretty sizable playing area. It’s a total of seven reels with seven symbols each. Though let’s make it clear: these aren’t really reels, and you won’t be finding any paylines or ways to win.

Instead, the game uses cluster pays. This means that matching symbols need to be next to each other. Once they form a cluster big enough it is counted as a win. The more symbols in the cluster, the bigger the wins are going to be.

For this reason, you don’t need to worry about dividing your bet. Simply set the total and it will be applied as such to all the combination clusters you manage to create. However, like many similar games, the volatility is pretty high.

Special Features

• Cascading symbols is a feature that is activated whenever a win rings across the reels. Partaking symbols explode away, and new symbols drop in place.
• Whenever a win happens next to a coal symbol, the coal is turned into a ruby.
• Five or more ruby symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger bonus spins. Three or more ruby symbols will pay out a win immediately. Players can get up to 50 spins.
• During bonus spins the rubies show up directly on reels.
• The game also comes with a double up feature, allowing to double the value of any win.

Verdict

This Nucleus Gaming slot ends up offering a lot more than just an interesting theme. If you’re looking for a change from the normal paylines, five reelers, three reelers or other normal setups, try your luck with Ruby Jade. Of course, this isn’t the first cluster pays game, but it is a worthy addition to the genre. Take a look, watch the symbols drop down and collect the wins!
