Great Rhino Megaways review
Great Rhino Megaways is a 2020 Pragmatic Play slot that combines tumbling reels with more than 200,000 ways to win. The studio claims a top outcome of 20,000x the bet, though our catalogue holds no max win for it. What sets the design apart is a choice made before the bonus starts: the player picks how the free spins are balanced between length and multiplier. It is also the Megaways follow-up to a 2018 original in the same series.
Tumbles on a changing board
The game is a Megaways slot with tumbling reels, and the studio puts the number of ways at over 200,000. With tumbling reels, winning symbols leave the board and new ones fall in, so a single spin can pay several times. The studio names the animals that populate the reels: crocodiles, hyenas and stampeding rhinos.
No payline count applies in a ways-to-win game. The studio's page also gives no hit frequency, so how often a tumble chain starts is not something the data tells us.
Choosing a free spins package
Landing four to six scatters triggers the bonus game, and this is where the player has a decision. The free spins come in options of 15 to 23 spins, and each option carries one of three multipliers: 1x, 5x or 10x. The studio's text does not say which spin count pairs with which multiplier, so the pairings need to be read from the game screen. The trade-off is easy to see, though: more spins and less multiplier at one end, fewer spins and more multiplier at the other.
Growing win multiplier
In the bonus, each tumble win raises the win multiplier by 1x. That means a chain of tumbles builds on itself, and a high starting multiplier is raised further as the chain continues. The multiplier choice made at the start therefore sets the floor, and the tumbles push it up.
Unlimited retriggers
When three or more scatters land at the same time during the feature, five more free spins are added. The studio says there is no limit to the number of times this can happen, so a round has no fixed length.
The maths of a spin
The RTP is 96.5%, which means a house edge of 3.5% and about $35 lost per $1,000 wagered over the long run. Over 100 spins, the average cost is $0.70 at $0.20 a spin, $3.50 at $1 and $17.50 at $5, which is $500 wagered.
Volatility and max win are listed as not published in our catalogue. The 20,000x figure comes from the studio's description, so treat it as a headline claim rather than a verified catalogue record.
The original and its Megaways siblings
The series has one earlier game: Great Rhino from 2018, at 96.53%. Of the similar titles, Christmas Carol Megaways also lists 20,000x at 96.5%, and 5 Lions Megaways lists 5,000x at 96.5% from 2021. Curse of the Werewolf Megaways (96.5%) and Starz Megaways (96.48%) are other 2020 entries, The Dog House Megaways sits at 96.55%, and Chilli Heat Megaways at 96.5% dates from 2021.

- Free spins can be chosen with 1x, 5x or 10x multipliers
- The bonus multiplier rises by 1x with every tumble win

Verdict
Great Rhino Megaways is a tumbling Megaways game with a notable bonus decision: a choice of free spins with multipliers of 1x, 5x or 10x, a multiplier that rises by 1x per tumble win, and retriggers without a limit. The 96.5% RTP is the only return on record, and volatility is not published. Paid play carries a 3.5% house edge, and the free demo helps compare the packages before choosing one.
