How Great Rhino Megaways works

Great Rhino Megaways takes the safari theme of the original Great Rhino and moves it onto a Megaways grid. Each spin sets a random number of symbols on every reel, so the ways to win change all the time, up to a maximum of 200,704. Wins pay for matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left, and a wild symbol helps complete them.

The paytable is a mix of wooden card style symbols at the low end and animals at the top, including crocodiles and hyenas. Most base game wins come from the low symbols and pay small amounts, which is normal for a Megaways game with this much reach.

Every win starts a tumble. The winning symbols are removed, the rest drop down and new ones fill the gaps. Tumbles continue until a spin produces no new win, so one paid spin can turn into a short chain. The growing multiplier is saved for the bonus.

Great Rhino Megaways free spins and bonus features

Land 4 to 6 golden rhino scatters to start the bonus. Before the round begins, you choose how to play it. The provider describes the options as packages with a 1x, 5x or 10x starting multiplier, with more spins on the low multiplier and fewer spins on the high one. More scatters on the trigger give more spins, and the provider puts the range at 15 to 23 spins.

Whichever option you pick, the multiplier then rises by 1x with each tumble win during the round. Starting at 10x with only a few spins can pay a lot from a single good chain, or very little if the spins miss. The bigger package with a 1x start gives more chances but needs long chains to build up. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 more spins, and there is no limit on retriggers.

Where local rules allow it, an ante bet adds 25% to the stake and doubles the chance of triggering free spins. A bonus buy at 100x your stake takes you straight to the spin choice.

Great Rhino Megaways RTP versions: what to check

Pragmatic Play lists the RTP at 96.50% on its game page. Several reviews quote 96.58%, and one links that figure to the ante bet, so the number you see may depend on how you play. On top of that, casinos can run lower settings. Nothing in the graphics changes between versions.

To check, open the game, press the menu or "i" button and scroll to the return to player line in the rules. That shows the setting your casino uses. A lower setting keeps the same 20,000x cap but costs more on average per spin. Our RTP and volatility guide explains the effect over time.

Max win and volatility in practice

The 20,000x cap is high for a Megaways game from 2020. Sources rate the volatility high. In play, that means a lot of small base game wins and long waits for four scatters, with the real upside packed into the free spins and the multiplier choice.

The spin choice lets you adjust the risk within the bonus. The 1x package gives the most spins and the steadiest results, while the 10x option swings much harder. If you are wagering a bonus, high variance can drain the balance before you finish, so run the numbers in the wagering calculator first. You can find more games like this on our high volatility slots list.

Playing Great Rhino Megaways with free spins or a bonus

Check the bonus terms before you use a casino offer on this game. Bonus buys and the ante bet are often excluded while wagering, and nearly every casino sets a maximum bet per spin until the bonus is cleared. Ignoring those rules can lead to confiscated winnings.

Our guide to wagering requirements explains how playthrough is calculated, and the free spins page lists current deals. If you want a casino with a big slot lobby, our Mostbet review covers one option.

Our verdict on Great Rhino Megaways

Great Rhino Megaways has aged well. The 200,704 ways, the 20,000x cap and the choice of free spins package give it more depth than many newer releases, and the rising multiplier makes long tumble chains worth watching. The RTP is listed at 96.50% by the provider, slightly below the figure some reviews quote, so check the number in the game rules before you play. It suits players who like to pick their own level of risk inside the bonus and can wait for four scatters to show up.
