RubyPlay is a studio founded in 2018 with a catalogue of roughly 200 titles distributed through aggregators including Pariplay and EveryMatrix, which is how a supplier this size reaches more than three hundred casinos. It is one of the better-value mid-tier names documented here – above-average returns, proper European licensing, and no games that punish a player for not reading a rules screen.
Game Style
The catalogue spans a mix of formats and volatility levels typical of modern slot development, with a visible preference for jackpot and collection mechanics over pure free-spins play. Themes are mainstream – Egypt, clovers, vaults, card suits – and the games are structurally readable at a glance.
Volatility sits in the medium-to-high range across our sample, which pairs sensibly with the studio’s jackpot orientation: the prize tiers need enough variance to be worth chasing without making the base game unplayable.
Signature Mechanics
- Jackpot Mania and Jackpot Pick Deluxe – the studio’s own jackpot systems, awarding tiered prizes through pick rounds rather than paytable combinations.
- Link It Up Explosion – a linked hold-and-win variant where locked symbols connect across the grid.
- Immortal Array – a persistent grid feature that carries state between spins.
- Hold & Win and free spins – the conventional structures underneath, used across most of the range.
Licensing and Fair Play
RubyPlay holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence and is certified by Romania’s ONJN. For a studio founded in 2018 that is solid regulatory cover – Malta requires each title to be tested individually – and it puts RubyPlay ahead of several similarly sized suppliers on this site whose licensing amounts to whatever platform happens to carry them.
Published returns run from about 94.28% to 97.03%, with most titles at 96% or above. Our own sample sits at 96.39% to 96.90%, which is consistently above the market average. The low end of the catalogue range is worth noting, but it is the exception rather than the pattern here.
Games Worth Knowing
Beyond the five titles below, the Diamond Explosion series is the studio’s most widely distributed line and the clearest example of its hold-and-win jackpot approach. Sushi Bar and Big Bad Bison cover the more playful end of the catalogue, and Vegas Blast is representative of the recent output that won the studio a Best Slot of the Year award in 2024. Picking within a series matters less here than at most suppliers, because the returns are consistent.
Mobile Play and Demos
Everything is HTML5 and runs across devices without a separate mobile build. Free play versions are available without download or registration, which is the usual way to sample a mid-tier studio before committing – though with returns this consistent there is less variance to check for than elsewhere.
What the Numbers Say
Returns are strong and consistent: 96.39% to 96.90% across our five titles, with Book of 8 Riches at the top of that range. Volatility is medium to high. Themes run to Egypt, clovers, vaults and card suits.
One of the better-value mid-tier suppliers here – above-average returns, proper European licensing and no games that punish the player for not reading a rules screen.

Common Questions
What is RubyPlay known for?
A developing slot catalogue with above-average published returns, distributed widely through aggregators, and built around its own jackpot and collection mechanics rather than plain free-spins play.
Is RubyPlay a licensed provider?
Yes. It holds a Malta Gaming Authority licence and is certified by Romania’s ONJN. Malta requires each title to be tested individually, which is stronger cover than several similarly sized studios on this site have.
What RTP do RubyPlay games offer?
Published figures run from about 94.28% to 97.03%, with most titles at 96% or above. Our five-game sample sits at 96.39% to 96.90% – consistently above the market average.
How do RubyPlay’s jackpots work?
Through pick rounds rather than paytable combinations. Jackpot Mania and Jackpot Pick Deluxe trigger a bonus screen where the player selects from hidden options to reveal a prize tier. As with any jackpot layer, part of the return funds those tiers.
What is Link It Up Explosion?
A linked hold-and-win variant where locked cash symbols connect across the grid rather than paying independently, so filling adjacent positions is worth more than scattering them. It rewards a different pattern of landing symbols than a standard hold-and-win.
Where do RubyPlay games appear?
Largely through aggregator platforms such as Pariplay and EveryMatrix, which is how a studio of this size reaches more than three hundred casinos. If your casino carries either aggregator, the catalogue is likely available.
