Themed on Safari, we are treated to a backdrop of the Savanna where animals can be seen grazing in their natural habitat. As is often the case with these genre of slots an African style song accompanies your play, with the occasional animal noise thrown in for extra authenticity. 

Heading over to the paytable we see that the lower value symbols consist of the royal cards 10 through the ace, with pays ranging from 0.1x, up to 1.5x when winning combinations are made through them.  The premium paying and more valuable game symbols are the Flamingo, Crocodile, Gorilla, and a Cheetah, that will pay you 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 5x, and 50x respectively for a 6 of a kind win.

The minimum price to get the reels spinning is just €0.20, with the top bet maxing out at €100 a play. There are an impressive 10 bet sizes to play at within the range of €2 down to the minimum stake, and players should also note that an enhanced play feature can be turned on which will increase your chances of triggering the free spin bonus. Toggling this option on will add an extra 25% to your current stake. 

One of the most heavily used mechanics on Megaways™ slots is the cascading reels feature, especially when providers are testing the water with their debut slot in the niche. So it didn't really surprise me to see that Pragmatic Play had also opted to use this extremely popular reel mechanic in Great Rhino Megaways™. 

Each time that a winning combination is formed on the reels the symbols that make up that win will be removed and new symbols will drop down, or slide in on the upper reel to fill the gaps that have been left. This will continue until no further winning connections are formed, and then a new spin will need to be initiated. 

The cascading reel mechanic continues to be popular within the Megaways™ niche, and slot provider SG Gaming also decided you use it in their safari themed game Raging Rhino Megaways™. So if you find that you like how Pragmatic Play have made use of this mechanic then we would suggest you also try Raging Rhino.

Entering the free spin feature on Great Rhino Megaways™ will require you to land a minimum of 4 scatter symbols. If this is achieved then you will be taken to a separate screen where you will be invited to select the volatility of your bonus. It should be noted that if you trigger the feature with additional scatters then more free spins will be added to the options below. 

• 15 Free Spins - Starting Multiplier x1
• 10 Free Spins - Starting Multiplier x5
• 5 Free Spins - Starting Multiplier x10
• Mystery choice - A random amount of free spins and multiplier will be awarded

After your amount of free spins and multiplier has been determined, the bonus round will begin. Your current multiplier will be displayed at the top left hand side of the game reels, and to further increase its value you will need to hit as many winning connections as possible, with each win and subsequent reel cascade improving it by x1. There is no limit as to what your multiplier may reach, and this sees Great Rhino Megaways™ also fall into the category of an unlimited multiplier slot. 

Additional spins may be awarded during the free spin bonus, with 3 scatter symbols adding an extra 5 spins to your total, and 4 scatters rewarding you with an extra 10 spins.

We found Great Rhino Megaways™ to be an entertaining slot, but it doesn't really bring anything to the table with regards to the Megaways™ mechanic that we haven't seen before. The slot may feature a few more paylines than what you would normally see with this format of game, but the free spin feature is just a clone of Bonanza, and we have seen the option to select the volatility of your bonus in various Blueprint Slots such as Buffalo Rising Megaways™.

All said and done though Pragmatic Play are not the first provider to play it safe with their debut Megaways™ title, and now they have got their feet under the table we will look forward to see what their future releases bring.
