The first thing that struck me about Ruby bingo was that it almost brags that it is TST certified on its home page. Those letters may mean nothing and RNG may just be gibberish as well, but this basically means the website is not rigged. Ruby say that ‘Our RNG (Random Number Generator) is certified by the TST (Technical System Testing) ensuring that Ruby Bingo is working in a fair and secure manner.’ Always reassuring to know the site isn’t bent, though that should be a given you would hope…..

Ruby is presented by William Hill, the high street bookies, and has a number of bingo and side games. The standard 90 ball, 75 ball pattern and chat games including trivia quizzes and races that use numbers being called in the bingo game are available. Aside from bingo, mini games are built in to the bingo playing screen, so you can play a bit of slots or have an instant win on a scratch card while waiting for the balls to come. Outside of the bingo screen, there are 17 fully-featured slots, video and casino games.

If just winning isn’t enough for you, there are a whole host of jackpots to be won. Some are progressive and some are guaranteed to be won at certain points. At any one time, there are four Barmy Club jackpots, six Cloud Nine jackpots, four Royal Court jackpots and three Velvet Lounge jackpots. Put your calculators away as I’ll tell you instead; that is a massive 17 different jackpots.

On the bonus front, Ruby have a new player bonus of £16 with no deposit necessary, a 300% first deposit bonus of up to £30 and then a further 50% bonus on every deposit thereafter. Other gems include free tickets, a refer a friend bonus, Happy Hour and Pattern of the Month. These are all fairly standard, but Ruby have pushed the boat out (literally) for some promotions. They offer a pink laptop to the winner of the Here Come the Girls competition and the winner of the Energy Buster will have all their utility bills paid for a year. However, the big one has to be a chance to go on the ‘world famous’ Bingo Cruise around the Caribbean for seven nights, worth a whopping £12000.

Rather handily, there is also a news page to keep up to date with all things Ruby and a free phone number for customer support. How very thoughtful.
