We present experimental level statistics of diamagnetic rubidium Rydberg spectra. For different types of classical dynamics, significant changes in the corresponding nearest-neighbour spacing distributions are observed which converge to Wigner-like distributions in the chaotic case. Numerically predicted torus-hopping is identified. High spectral resolution allows for the observation of underlying long-period orbits in the Fourier-transformed excitation spectra which are displayed in a parameter-free way. Furthermore, a strong correlation between oscillator strength and level distributions is present.
