About Great Rhino Megaways
Released in May 2019, Great Rhino Megaways is the Megaways adaptation of the safari slot Great Rhino (2017), one of Pragmatic Play's biggest historical hits. The move to the Megaways format (a mechanic licensed from Big Time Gaming) pushed the max win from 5,000x on the original up to 20,000x on the Megaways version, while keeping the safari visual identity with rhinos, lions, gazelles and an African sunrise.
The format is a 6-reel Megaways setup with variable reel heights of 2-7 symbols, giving between 324 and 200,704 ways to win per spin. RTP 96.58% in the official version (top tier for the Pragmatic portfolio — above the ~96.5% standard). Volatility is very high — that's the game's defining trait. Bonus-free sessions of 200-300 spins are possible, but when the hit lands, the payout amplitude is exceptional.
The signature mechanic is cascading wins (winning symbols disappear and new ones drop into place — a potentially endless chain on a single spin) paired with an unlimited progressive multiplier in free spins. Every winning cascade during free spins increases the multiplier by +1 (x1 → x2 → x3 → x∞). Theoretically, on an exceptional cascade streak, the multiplier can reach x100+, the threshold for record big-win hits.
The bonus triggers with 4+ scatters (roughly a 1 in 200 spin chance in the base game). 4 scatters award 8 free spins, 5 scatters award 12 spins, 6 scatters award 16 spins. A retrigger is possible with 3+ scatters during free spins (+5 spins). The multiplier never resets — this is what sets Great Rhino Megaways apart from competing Megaways titles that cap their multiplier (here it's unlimited). Bonus buy available at 100x the stake (unavailable in the UK for regulatory reasons).
Great Rhino Megaways is widely distributed — available at almost 100% of casinos that carry Pragmatic Play, including leading online casinos such as SpinAura, BetRiviera, Prestige, MonacoJack and CasinoVice. It's one of the most internationally accessible Pragmatic Megaways titles, present virtually everywhere. For big-win hunters after a Megaways format with an unlimited multiplier and a familiar safari universe, Great Rhino Megaways remains an absolute reference six years after its release.
