What we think about the Great Rhino Megaways slot

“The Mystery Choice free spins option is my favourite part of the game!”

Is Great Rhino Megaways slot for you?

The Great Rhino Megaways slot machine is an African Safari-themed game from Pragmatic Play. As is common with slots featuring the Megaways mechanic, it has 6 reels, between 2-7 rows, and is equipped with a horizontal bonus reel that adds an extra position to the reel grid. This bonus reel sits above reels 2-5 and is what makes it possible to land an up to 200,704 Megaways win.

Also typical of a Pragmatic Megaways game, Great Rhino has a cascading /tumbling symbols system instead of standard reels. This triggers a chain reaction on a winning spin, with winning symbols disappearing and being replaced by ones above cascading/tumbling into the vacant spaces, potentially leading to more wins. However, the biggest winning chances come from triggering the Free Spins bonus round which includes expanding multipliers, amping up the fun. The max win in this game is 20,000x the bet.

For its visuals and animations, I think the Great Rhino Megaways game deserves a solid two thumbs up. Instead of the cartoonish graphics used in many other Pragmatic slots, the provider chose an airbrush-like painting style for the African plains background and animal symbols that complement the game’s theme. The soundtrack is appealing as well, with soothing nature sounds erupting into the pounding drum effects (typical of African-themed slots) when you spin the reels, creating atmospheric gameplay.

Although the min bet is $0.20 and the max is $15.00, when I played Great Rhino Megaways online, I typically stuck with a $2.00 bet. With that in mind, like the majority of Megaways games, this is a high volatility slot. As such, it may not be your style if you’re a low risk-taker and/or have a smaller budget, as you could experience long dry spells. If this one’s not for you, no worries! We’ve got thousands of other slots, table games and a live casino ready to play.

Fun fact: The Great Rhino Megaways online slot is Pragmatic Play’s very first Megaways title and is based on its original Great Rhino slot. Since then, Pragmatic has released many other titles with Big Time Gaming’s popular game mechanic, including Big Bass Bonanza Megaways and Madame Destiny Megaways.

Game features

Tumble feature

If you’re lucky and land a win on the reels when you play Great Rhino Megaways by Pragmatic, the game’s Tumble Feature will activate. All symbols a part of the winning combo will disappear and be replaced by symbols from above that fall into the empty spaces. If this tumble results in another win, the tumbling will continue until there are no more wins. This is a pretty sweet feature since consecutive tumbles don’t cost you a spin. When I played, the most wins from tumbles I landed in a row was three.

Free Spins

The main feature of the Pragmatic Great Rhino Megaways slot is its Free Spins Round. To trigger free spins, you need to land a minimum of 4 scatter symbols (Gold Rhino symbol) anywhere on the reels. At the beginning of the round (and my favourite part of this game!), you get to pick 1 of 4 options before starting the round.

4 Scatters gives you the option of:

• 15 free spins starting at 1x multiplier
• 10 free spins starting at 5x multiplier
• 5 free spins starting at 10x multiplier
• Myster Choice - a random number of free spins and random starting multiplier

The more scatters you land, the higher the number of free spins you can claim, with the max being 23 Free Spins if you get 6 scatters.

Each free spins and starting multiplier option gives you an unlimited win multiplier. After every tumble during the Great Rhino Megaways free spins feature, the win multiplier is increased by 1x. The expanding multiplier during the feature is how its possible to score wins up to 20,000x the bet. Also, it’s possible to retrigger 5 more free spins if you land 3 scatters during the round.

I liked choosing the “Mystery Choice” option when I triggered Free Spins. Personally, I found it more exciting not to know what I’d get and was happy with the result each time. My favourite was 15 free spins and a 5x starting multiplier, which expanded to a final 12x win multiplier by the end of the round.

Buy Free Spins

If you don’t want to try your luck at triggering the Great Rhino Megaways free spins naturally, you can choose to “Buy Free Spins”. This will cost 100x the current total bet (e.g., if you bet $2.00 like I did, it will cost you $200 to buy).

Note: If you like both the Tumble feature and Buy Free Spins option, you can also find these in other popular Pragmatic Megaways games like Power of Thor Megaways.

Ante Bet

You can also double your chances of triggering the free spins feature by using the Ante Bet option, which adds more scatter symbols to the reels. If you opt for the Ante Bet, this will increase your current bet by 25%. In other words, it will cost you more to use it. Just remember that doubling your chances of triggering free spins doesn’t guarantee you’ll get them.

My verdict

Great Rhino Megaways is not a feature-rich slot nor is it a stand-out Megaways title. What it is, is a well-built slot machine with smooth and reliable gameplay that delivers a solid Megaways experience. What it lacks in overall wow-factor it more than makes up for with its tumbling reels, free spins feature that lets you choose from different spins and starting multiplier options, and a win potential up to 20,000x the stake.
