A long-established Microgaming with a very good reputation.
Ruby Fortune has been around since long before the USA ban
and caters to a mainly European audience with over 350 games and reasoanably prompt cashouts but could
improve on support and promotions.

Click here to visit Ruby Fortune Casino Whilst not one of the "big guns" in online casino terms, the Microgaming-powered Ruby Fortune casino (and sister casino Spin Palace) have a pretty decent reputation so I thought I'd download one of them and see if it could make it into my top online casinos. Similarly to when I was doing my Allslots review, I played on the Download version of the Ruby Fortune casino for this casino review. Running on the ever-popular Microgaming ("MG") platform, Ruby Fortune has the "Expert Mode" that provides both auto-play and auto-hold functionality on many of the games including all variants of video poker and slots which is useful to experienced players, but even better for newbies who don't know their strategies yet! This is the same acroos all Microgaming software powered casinos incidentally (see the online casino reviews section for more reviews of MG casinos). The game selection is huge with all the favourites: Blackjack, Poker variants (single player modes), loads of video poker games such as All American, Double Double Bonus, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker and many more plus a range of slots that are second to none. All the Microgaming favourites such as Thunderstruck, What On Earth and Tomb Raider plus some progressive jackpot slots where you could walk away with over $1,000,000 on the right day. Games aside, Ruby Fortune support is what I'd term average in speed of response but seems helpful enough. Like many, Ruby Fortune casino operates a 24 hour Reverse Withdrawal period which means you have a delay when you are cashing out. Some casinos such as 32Red (see the 32red review) only set this to 4 hours and allow you to reduce it even further on request. But 24 hours is the standard I guess - just not a standard this reviewer particularly cares for. As you would expect, there is of course a VIP loyalty program offering 0.1% back on all wagers initially, with bigger bonuses and more points on offer the more you wager and the higher up the tiers you go. There are reasonably regular promotions and bonuses at Ruby Fortune casino, although not as many as regulars get at Roxy Palace (see the Roxy Palace review, but the cashouts at Ruby Fortune are a day quicker than at Roxy so there's a trade off. Ruby Fortune Banking Options Ruby Fortune casino offers a full range of banking options, although due to restrictions, they are unable to process winnings back to Credit Cards. That said, when I asked them a couple of questions for this review, they told me they will do "ACH" (BACS equivalent) processing too if required. Conclusion Overall, if you judge Ruby Fortune on the games choice and promotions alone, then it's in among the better online casinos without necessarily standing out. However, I'd still like to see the Reverse Withdrawal period removed, made optional or reduced on demand. With the same games selection as casinos like 32Red and Ladbrokes (see the Ladbrokes review), I have to say that overall Ruby Fortune casino offers a pretty decent venue in my opinion.
