GreatSlots review · Pragmatic Play · 2017
Great Rhino is not the Megaways version, and that distinction matters. This is the cleaner 5x3 Pragmatic Play original: 20 fixed paylines, stacked rhino symbols, Super Respins, and a free-spins round where rhinos become the symbols to watch.

players comparing original Great Rhino vs Megaways
A clean medium-volatility safari slot for players who want the original Great Rhino format before comparing the Megaways sequel.
Great Rhino is the original 20-line Pragmatic Play safari slot, built around stacked rhinos, Super Respins, 10 free spins, 96.53% RTP, and a 900x max win.
These are the numbers and mechanics to compare before opening a nearby review.

RTP is a long-run model for the reviewed version. Read it with volatility, max win, and feature access before comparing similar slots.

Volatility is the best quick signal for how steady or swingy the review expects the game to feel between stronger moments.

900x bet
Max win sets the ceiling, but the route to that ceiling depends on the bonus design and how often the game creates real pressure.

20 fixed paylines
The free-spins rules decide where the slot's value sits, especially when wilds, multipliers, or retriggers carry the upside.
Compare free spinsGreat Rhino uses five reels, three rows, and 20 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right, and the rhino symbol is the central mechanic because it can land stacked on the middle-to-right reels instead of acting like a normal single symbol.
The Super Respin feature starts with three respins when two or more stacked rhino reels land, then keeps those rhinos sticky while every new rhino adds another respin. Ending with 14 rhinos awards the 375x Major jackpot, while filling all 15 positions awards the 500x Grand. The separate free-spins round gives 10 spins and turns rhinos wild, which makes the original Great Rhino more about stacked-symbol timing than the expanding board used in Great Rhino Megaways.
Great Rhino suits players who want a straightforward wildlife slot with obvious symbols, fixed lines, and no feature maze. It is the sensible starting point if you want to understand why the Megaways version feels larger and sharper.
Players chasing very high maximum wins, tumbling reels, or a pick-your-risk free-spins menu should move to Great Rhino Megaways instead. The original is cleaner, but it is deliberately more restrained.
The mobile version is one of the easier slots in this batch to read. The 5x3 grid, stacked rhinos, and fixed-line structure stay clear even on a small screen.
Pragmatic Play
Great Rhino Megaways stands out because the bonus pick changes both spin count and multiplier risk, which gives the feature more shape than the average safari reskin.
Pragmatic Play
Buffalo King Megaways is still one of Pragmatic's cleaner wilderness bonus chasers because the free-spin trigger values are clear and the wild multipliers do the real work without extra clutter.
Pragmatic Play
Wolf Gold stays useful because the rules are simple, the Money Respin is still clean, and the medium-volatility profile is easier to live with than many newer jackpot-style Pragmatic slots.
Use these nearby comparisons when RTP, volatility, or feature shape matters more than the theme.
Bonus guide
Free spins matter most when the trigger, retrigger rules, wild behavior, multipliers, and volatility are clear enough to compare before play.
Provider guide
Pragmatic Play reviews cover a wide range, from simple animal and fruit slots to volatile tumble and Megaways bonus chases.
RTP guide
RTP is useful only when it is read with volatility, max win, feature access, and the exact game version being reviewed.
Jackpot guide
Jackpot-led slots can be appealing because of the ceiling, but the review needs to separate jackpot upside from base-game value.

Yes. Great Rhino is the original 5x3, 20-line slot, while Great Rhino Megaways uses a larger variable-reel board, tumbling wins, and a much higher 20,000x ceiling.
Two or more stacks trigger three respins. Rhinos stay in place, each new rhino adds another respin, 14 rhinos award the 375x Major, and a full 15-symbol grid awards the 500x Grand.
The commonly listed RTP is 96.53% and the max win is about 900x bet, though configured versions can vary.
