Great Rhino slot review
Great Rhino is Pragmatic Play’s 2018 safari staple — a five-reel, three-row, twenty-line tour of the savannah whose calling card is the Super Respin: fill the screen with enough rhinos and a special respin round opens with the game’s 500x grand prize waiting at the end of it. It arrived during Pragmatic Play’s breakthrough year and did much to establish the studio’s reputation in the UK, with the rhino stampede respin becoming a signature moment players specifically sought out.
How Great Rhino plays
Cheetahs, hyenas, gazelles and flamingos populate the reels beneath the stacked rhino, the game’s hero symbol, while the sunset-tree wild substitutes across the board. The paw-print scatter handles the free spins, and the whole presentation leans on Pragmatic’s bold, chunky symbol style.
Free spins and the Super Respin
Three scatters award ten free spins in which two stacked rhino-and-wild reels make premium hits far more likely, with retriggers available. The signature feature is separate: land two or more full reels of rhinos in the base game and the Super Respin begins — the rhinos lock, three respins are awarded, and every new rhino resets the count. A completely rhino-filled screen pays the 500x grand prize.
RTP, volatility and top wins
The commonly published RTP is around 96.53%, with operator versions varying — the in-game information panel shows the live figure. Volatility is medium, with the rhythm of stacked-symbol hits keeping sessions lively and the Super Respin board-fill as the headline chase. A Megaways edition and a Deluxe sequel extend the brand.
