Ruby Royal is a relatively new online casino – it launched in 2009 – but it's owned and run by Silverstone Overseas Limited, who have been in the online casino market since 2000, and it shows. Unlike some other new casino startups, Ruby Royal glistens with professionalism from the word go.

This isn't only represented in the excellent Rival software (which, incidentally, offers Mac compatibility through a web version), the choice of games or the painless signup process, but also through the extremely generous online casino bonus offered to new players.

You see, rather than having to go through forex issues, Ruby Royal will let you deposit and play in Rands. And the first time that you login to your account, you will recieve a R8,880 No Deposit Bonus (Free Play Bonus) to test drive the games for 30 minutes. When you decide to deposit money into your casino account, they'll double it – to the value of R8,880 in free money.

But let's talk about game selection for a second. Ruby Royal, as mentioned, runs on Rival, and they've picked some of the best titles from the catalogue. If you're a slots fan, you're going to be over the moon because Ruby Royal has a large selection of the now legendary i-Slot games: interactive adventures inside a video slot.

Other slot picks that we recommend include Cleopatra's Coins and Hole In Won, or you could try your luck at the progressive jackpot One Million Reels BC.

But it's not all slots at Ruby Royal. Their selection of classic table games includes such stalwarts as Blackjack and Poker, Roulette in both American and European formats, and even Craps. And there are multiple versions of Video Poker to try your hand at too.
