Ruby Fortune Casino Download

Up to $/€750 FREE welcome bonus

Launching in 2003, Ruby Fortune is one of the earliest members and best known brands in the hugely successful Palace Group of online casinos. Ruby Fortune is justified in claiming considerable expert experience and reliability with more than fifteen years servicing members, always supplied with classic casino games and the latest new releases from Microgaming plus an exciting number of game designers working with Microgaming to distribute their titles.

Most players (online and offline) tend to head for the same games or categories almost every gaming session but when we take ten minutes to have a curious look around other, less familiar parts and categories of Ruby Fortune Casino - you will almost certainly come across tempting games that you'd never have spotted and will soon become regular games in your playlist. We'd wager that you will also discover non-game surprises including more banking methods and client support, loyalty rewards (redeemable for money), promotion offers and more that you didn't know was available.

Unfortunately, Ruby Fortune surprised everyone in 2019 by announcing its decision to shut down its download casino. Ruby Fortune clients will still be able to access (most of) the same games, banking options and other features via a browser, although regular download-users who make the most of its advantages will likely notice the deterioration in a number of small ways. Most players won't notice but could still resent the jump to browser or mobile when the downloaded Ruby Fortune works perfectly well (the best version!).

To retain the benefits of a download casino, we recommend shifting your play to a trustworthy (and Grade-A rated at Casino-Download.com) online casino such as Cosmo Casino, Grand Mondial Casino and Yukon Gold Casino containing hundreds of games from Microgaming and loads of third-party providers and a DOWNLOAD OPTION. Once signed-up, it's likely you'll become a regular.

If you're already using a mobile device (phone or tablet) to play at Ruby Fortune then you'll have become used to the technical and physical restrictions that will always exist for mobile players so you're unlikely to mind the disabling of the Ruby Fortune download casino. That said, it's common knowledge in the online gambling industry that many of the biggest players and winners are spreading their gaming activity across more than one format, so don't necessarily rule out a method. Give them a try and see which you like/dislike, depending on the devices/technology you own.

For several years, Ruby Fortune's website has proudly 'boasted' of having 450+ games. It's not a wrong stat, exactly, but the casino is selling itself short by some margin and we wouldn't be surprised if the number of games and variations available to play on Ruby Fortune's casino floor is closer to double that amount and it only increases every week.

One slightly funny and/or annoying thing (depends how you feel about the download casino's shut-down), at the top of every page of Ruby Fortune's website there is a named, prominent link 'Add to desktop' that is supposed to download Ruby Fortune's casino! And it does in fact download a complete version (real or freeplay) of Ruby Fortune's set-up installation file. Now, THAT is a massive screw-up for a company that nudges us regularly to take down their download links. Heh, you first!

In any event, the 'Add to desktop' download linked to Ruby Fortune does not work despite initially appearing to install the casino's software onto the computer. It crashed on us before we got to account registration or login and we tried it on everything from Windows XP to 10. Sorry, we forgot to try 3.1.

Make a first real money deposit at Ruby Fortune to receive a 100% deposit-match bonus up to $/€250. You'll also get bonuses (optional) on your second and third deposits, up to $/€500.

You'll need to make your first deposit within one week (seven days) of opening your new player account if you want to claim the bonus - so don't download Ruby Fortune and create a new account until you're definitely ready and eager to deposit and play. If you want the welcome bonus, claim it now - which you maybe won't after reading the following.

Ruby Fortune's welcome bonus is subject - like any other online casino's - to wagering (or playthrough requirements) prior to cashing out winnings. It's basically the total number of bets placed, no matter if they win or lose, are added to the total and once you reach a particular bonus wager target then you are free to withdraw your well-won loot. Without appearing to have a casino download obsession (yeah, we do, we admit it) it was much nicer, easier and quicker to both check your wagering requirement progress and exchange loyalty 'comp points for real cash in the Ruby Fortune download casino. You can still do this in the other sibling versions (browser/tablet/phone) of their dead download big brother.

In Ruby Fortune's case, it's a bonus x50 wager requirement which is a little steep but not as bad as some of the competition. What ruins any chance of us recommending this bonus is the limit (applied 'at management's discretion' - but when/if is that?) applied to cashouts if you claim a welcome bonus - the limit being just a lousy SIX times your deposit. It's already tough enough that you can only really play slot games to 'beat this bonus' and there are many other terms (ie. maximum bets) to be careful not to break. It's too much stress and unfair player-terms, meaning we can't recommend accepting deposit bonuses at Ruby Fortune - best to decline them and play with your own money to enjoy the freedom of playing when and what you want, cashing out at your own leisure.

Ruby Fortune Casino no deposit required bonus money/free spins

Ruby Fortune no deposit bonuses are rarer than rocking horse poop, we're sorry to report. Many online casinos have a deposit required bonus as standard for new sign-ups but we cannot recall this ever being the case at Ruby Fortune since the casino launched in 2003. It appears that Ruby Fortune is attractive enough to members without the requirement for an enticing free money bonus.

It's not just the welcome bonus where Ruby Fortune has never played the no deposit bonus game - it's a general unwritten rule that you won't see no deposit needed bonuses popping up on the casino's website during any special promotions or competitions. However, despite all that, it actually IS possible to receive completely free no deposit required bonuses from Ruby Fortune and you get them by simply being a member. Ruby Fortune are famous for dishing out nice no deposit birthday bonuses and other free money gifts on other special occasions. These can often be considerable sums of money (even if you haven't deposited a lot) and every no deposit bonus we've encountered at Ruby Fortune Casino has been 'no rule' - ie. NO wagering requirements, NO game limits and NO cashout restrictions. In fact, if you receive a Ruby Fortune no deposit required bonus then you can - if you want to - not play with the money and simply withdraw the funds. It's YOUR money.

So in summary, don't expect to see Ruby Fortune's website mentioning free no deposit offers but DO expect/hope to receive these bonuses if you are a regular member.

If you've already joined Ruby Fortune, why not try some other online casinos in the same group - All Slots, Gaming Club, Jackpot City, Lucky Nugget, Mummys Gold, Platinum Play, River Belle, Royal Vegas and Spin (Palace) Casino - each casino offers a free download and welcome bonus.
