Dragon Ladiesby RubyPlay

Screenshots

Ruby Play takes players on a magical journey to the past of China where golden dragons guard the vast treasures of imposing palaces.

And what could these treasures be? Rubies, gold, diamonds? Or maybe a harem of imperial consorts?

Take a look at the name of the game to find out which is it. Yes, Ruby Play is banking on a bit of sex appeal to sell this game. But is there more here than some pretty portraits on the reels? Do four progressive jackpots sound good enough?

Theme

Once again, it’s ancient China. One of the most popular settings for slots ever as there is no shortage of games featuring dragons, temples, Chinese food, and characters.

And so here we have a background featuring a lotus flower, and a playing grid framed by golden arches topped by two golden dragons touching jade orbs.

It is cheesy, but at least it’s well-executed. The graphics look appropriate and sharp and are in high definition on desktop and mobile devices.

On the reels we have…

…as low paying symbols the trusty card numbers. But here they have little touches to make them look unique.

The horizontal line on A is a small dragon, and the smaller top of J has a golden fan on it. It’s a small thing but it shows the attention to detail the developer has and should be commended.

There are four high paying symbols and they are a lotus pad with two flowers, two koi fishes in a pond, and the titular dragon ladies – a symbol for each.

All the symbols are painted with care and look colorful and vibrant.

Betting Options and Functions

This Chinese tale occurs across five reels and three rows and has 50 fixed paylines. With medium-high variance and an RTP of 96.49%, punters can expect an experience geared more toward big but irregular hits.

The minimum bet for this mythical ride Is 20 cents while those who truly like to live on the edge can let the dragons eat up 200 euros per spin.

Special Features

This game is all about the jackpots. There four levels, mini, minor, major, and grand.

The way to the jackpot is paved by green jackpot symbols and purple super jackpot symbols.

Once more than 6 appear on the reels, players get to play Jackpot Mania where all symbols are replaced with green and purple orbs bearing money amounts or mini, minor, and major jackpot values.

There are 3 chances for a symbol to appear and stay on the reels. And every time one does, the counter is reset to three.

The mode ends either when all positions on the grid are jackpot symbols in which case the player has just won the Grand Jackpot or when there are no more chances. In that case, all the amounts on the orbs are tallied and awarded to the punter.

Our Take

While games about or inspired by China are a dime a dozen these days, Ruby Play has managed to carve out a little niche of its own because this offering has enough charm and features to stand on its own and be a compelling time for punters who give it a whirl.
