Great Rhino
Great Rhino Megaways is an online video slot developed by Pragmatic Play. The game uses the Megaways mechanic, which creates up to 200,704 winning combinations on each spin. The slot offers a maximum payout of 20,000× the stake.
The game features dynamic reels, meaning the number of symbols on each reel can change during every spin. In addition, the slot includes a horizontal reel positioned above the main reels, which adds extra symbols to reels two through five.
The game theme is based on African wildlife, and the symbols include animals commonly associated with the savannah.
Game Mechanics
The slot uses six main reels with variable symbol heights. The number of symbols per reel can range between two and seven on each spin. This variation determines the number of possible winning combinations.
A horizontal reel located above the main grid adds additional symbols to the second, third, fourth, and fifth reels.
Winning combinations are formed by matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels. When a win occurs, the cascade (tumble) feature removes the winning symbols and replaces them with new ones that fall into place from above.

Players can adjust the wager before spinning the reels.
Minimum bet: $0.20

The bet value can be increased or decreased using the plus and minus controls in the interface.
