JACKPOTS

The jackpots at Ruby Fortune include progressive slots like Mega Moolah, Major Millions, Tunzamunni and The Dark Knight. They’re part of developer Microgaming’s jackpots network, which means that they’re tied into a system that will make them grow very quickly and reseed at high sums.

The way this works is very simple. Every time you try to win a jackpot at Ruby Fortune, a small piece of your bet goes into the jackpot. This makes it grow faster as it becomes popular. If somebody wins it, a percentage goes back into the pot as per the terms and agreements of the casino. The new round starts out with this sum, becomes popular and gets going again.
