Like many Pragmatic Play slot games, the design in Great Rhino is pretty simple. The reels are set against a savannah backdrop and include lower value playing cards plus higher value animals. They include flamingos, meerkats, crocodiles and a leopard.
Most rewarding of the standard symbols is the rhino which pays 20 times your total stake if you land 5 on 1 of the game’s 20 paylines. The best payer overall is the wild which delivers payouts of up to 25 times your stake per payline. You’ll fine 2 classic bonus features in Great Rhino.
- Free Spins feature - this round is activated by hitting the tree scatter symbols on the middle 3 reels on the same spin. You’ll get a payout of 2x your total stake as well as 10 free spins. The rhino symbol becomes a second wild during this round.
- Super Respin feature - more interesting are the respins which are triggered by filling 2 or more reels with stacked rhino symbols. An initial payout is then made. The stacked reels are locked and you’ll receive 3 respins. The reels during the respins contain only blanks or rhinos. Land a rhino and it joins the cluster and another respin is added to your tally.
Once you’ve received all your respins, a final payout calculation is made with all the rhinos in position. If you amass 14 rhinos, you’ll trigger the Major Jackpot of 375 times your stake. Find a full 15 rhinos and your reward will be the Grand Jackpot of some 500 times your stake.
Pragmatic Play aren’t among the best developers when it comes to design and Great Rhino is solid rather than spectacular on that score. The cartoon visuals are steady enough without really dazzling. It’s the features that make this game worth a play, especially the respins.
Get lucky with those respins and Great Rhino could deliver a stampede of coins. Alternatively, Raging Rhino by WMS Gaming has a similar theme but it more volatile and offers, potentially, much larger rewards.
