About the Game
Welcome to Redbeard’s Ruby from Reflex Gaming – a FORTUNE MAP featuring Free Spins with Sticky Wilds, the Redbeard’s Mystery bonus, and the new Fortune Map progressive feature! This game is a 6×4 reel video slot with 20 fixed paylines. All line wins are paid from left to right on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel. All symbols in the paytable pay for 3 or more adjacent symbols on an active payline, with the exception of the Redbeard symbol, which pays for 2 or more adjacent symbols on an active payline. Only the highest win on each line is paid.
The game features 4 low-value symbols, represented by card suits, and 5 high-value symbols with a pirate theme (Cutlass, Pistol, Ship, Parrot, Redbeard).
Additional symbols include the Bonus (three or more in view activate Free Spins), Ruby (activates the Redbeard’s Mystery feature when appearing alongside any full stack of Redbeard symbols), and Wild.
Wild, Sticky Super Wild, and Sticky Mega Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Bonus and Ruby. Wilds also do not substitute for any part of a Redbeard stack to activate the Redbeard’s Mystery feature.
RTP
The expected return reflects the outcome over a very long period of spins among many players and cannot be changed by the player’s strategy.
- The overall theoretical return to player is 95.50%.
Bonus Buy
Bonus Buy allows the player to immediately access the Free Spins feature. 10 Free Spins can be purchased for 100x the base bet. After purchase, the reels will land on 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus symbols to activate the Free Spins.
Golden Bet
The Golden Bet can be activated for an additional cost of x1.5x the bet. When activated, Free Spins are triggered twice as often. Wins are paid out according to the paytable and based on the base bet. The Golden Bet applies only to the main game and does not affect Free Spins.
Pot Prizes
There are four fixed pot prizes: Mega, Major, Minor, and Mini.
- Mega awards 500x the base bet.
- Major awards 100x the base bet.
- Minor awards 25x the base bet.
- Mini awards 10x the base bet.
Free Spins
Landing 3 or more Bonus symbols in the reels awards 10 Free Spins. Landing 4 or more Bonus symbols also awards Sticky Wilds at the start of the Free Spins.
- 3 Bonus symbols: 0 Sticky Wilds
- 4 Bonus symbols: 1 Sticky Wild
- 5 Bonus symbols: 2 Sticky Wilds
- 6 Bonus symbols: 3 Sticky Wilds
Sticky Wilds are randomly placed and remain for the duration of the Free Spins feature. Free Spins are played with the same number of lines and bet as the spin that triggered the feature.
Re-trigger
During Free Spins, any Bonus symbols that appear in view are added to a 15-stage track. For every three stages completed, a Bonus Wheel spin is awarded (re-triggering the feature).
The Bonus Wheel initially consists of two wheels. The inner wheel awards +3, +4, +5, or +6 additional Free Spins.
The outer wheel can award: +1 Sticky Wild, +2 Sticky Wilds, +1 Sticky Super Wild, +1 Sticky Mega Wild, or a Pot Prize.
Sticky Super Wilds and Sticky Mega Wilds act like regular Wilds but also multiply any wins on the lines they participate in (Super Sticky Wilds award x2, Mega Sticky Wilds x5).
If multiple Super or Mega Sticky Wilds participate in a single line win, the multipliers are added together. Sticky Wilds awarded from the Bonus Wheel are added to the reels before the line wins for the current Free Spin are awarded. If the outer wheel awards a Pot Prize, a third wheel appears and determines one of four pot prizes. Up to six additional Free Spins can be awarded for each re-trigger. A maximum of five re-triggers and a total of 40 Free Spins are possible.
Redbeard’s Mystery Bonus
Redbeard’s Mystery Bonus is activated when the Ruby symbol appears on reel 6 along with one or more full stacks of Redbeard symbols on reels 1–5. When activated, all Redbeard stacks transform into mystery reels, each awarding a cash or pot prize. Possible mystery reel outcomes are: 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, MINI pot, MINOR pot, MAJOR pot, MEGA pot (cash values are displayed as multipliers of the base bet). The Ruby symbol appears only on reel 6.
Fortune Map
The main game features a 6×5 square treasure map containing 1 x Free Spins and 3 Sticky Wilds hidden among 30 spaces. Landing 2 Bonus symbols in view triggers a map pick, in which the player can reveal the outcome of one space. Possible map pick outcomes are: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, MEGA, Free Spins, +1 Sticky Wild, or an empty space (cash values are displayed as base bet multipliers). Any revealed Sticky Wilds are added to the meter. If Free Spins are awarded from a map, accumulated Sticky Wilds are awarded at the start of the feature. Accumulated Sticky Wilds are not awarded for Free Spins triggered by 3 Bonus symbols in view—only through a map pick. The card state and accumulated Sticky Wilds are retained between selections (within the same bet and game mode) and are reset only after Free Spins are revealed (Free Spins earned from spinning the reels do not reset the card). Each bet and each game mode has its own card. When first entering the game and when reinitializing the card, 5 empty spaces are revealed to give the player an initial advantage.
