Up-and-coming Indie developer sends players on a daring heist to recover precious gems worth up to 3,000x the bet in new slot launched via SwinttStudios programme

Pack your safe cracking tools and get ready to raid a maximum-security vault for precious gems worth up to 3,000x the bet in Ruby Robbery – the exciting heist-themed slot from Twin Win Games that marks the studio’s third release via the SwinttStudios programme.

A five-reel, 50-payline title with a medium level of volatility, Ruby Robbery takes place in a heavily fortified strongroom and features all manner of treasures among its high-value symbols, with golden crowns, Fabergé eggs and piles of cash all accounting for the base game’s biggest prizes.

In addition to these regular icons, players will also need to be on the lookout for special key symbols which transform into sparkling rubies whenever they land anywhere on the slot’s top three rows. When this happens, the Nudging Wilds feature will be triggered, with all rubies substituting for regular icons as they drop by one space each spin before finally leaving the reels.

This rewarding feature is further enhanced in the free spins bonus round, which is activated whenever three or more safe door scatter symbols appear in any position. At the start of the bonus, players will be presented with two full stacks of wild ruby symbols on reels two and four and a win multiplier of 1x, 2x or 3x their total prize based on the initial number of triggering icons.

This win multiplier will increase by one up to its maximum level for every win landed during free spins, and the bonus will continue indefinitely as long at least one ruby wild remains on the reels. Additionally, should a full column of rubies appear in the game’s central column, players will also receive a random cash prize worth up to 50x their bet on top of any free spins winnings collected.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Ruby Robbery marks the third release by Twin Win Games to be launched via the SwinttStudios programme – and what an exciting instalment it is too! Set in a high-security vault that’s littered with gold and jewels, players will need to put their safe-cracking skills to the test as they seek out Nudging Wilds that can lead to huge wins of up to 3,000x their bet, making it another must-have addition to operators’ line-ups.”.
