Great Rhino Megaways: Four shields, one multiplier decision

Pragmatic Play’s first Megaways title swaps the original Great Rhino’s fixed reels for a grid that can open to 200704 ways, then pushes all its drama into one decision. Land four scatter coins and the savanna goes dark blue, the tumble counter arms, and four tribal shields appear: 15 spins at 1x, 10 at 5x, 5 at 10x, or a blind random mix. Every tumble inside the free spins lifts the multiplier by 1x, so the longer safe option and the short volatile one are really two bets on how long the cascades will run. An Ante Bet doubles scatter presence for a 1.25x stake, and a 100x buy skips the base game entirely — though the two never work together, and high volatility plus a 20000x cap keep the ceiling firm.

How to play

Great Rhino Megaways is a high-volatility 6-reel slot set on the African continent, with up to 200704 ways to win. The objective is to land Scatter coins and reach Free Spins, where a Progressive Multiplier grows on every Tumble. Each round, the player sets a stake, spins, and decides whether to chase the feature naturally, toggle the Ante Bet, or buy entry directly.

Set stake and spin

Use the plus and minus buttons to set a total bet between $0.20 and $240.00, then press the large spin button or SPACE. Optionally toggle DOUBLE CHANCE TO WIN on for a 25x bet multiplier that doubles the natural chance to win Free Spins, or use BUY FREE SPINS at 100x the bet.
Tumble through base wins

Every win is paid, the winning symbols vanish, and new symbols drop from above; Tumble continues until no winning combination remains. Land 4 or more SCATTER coins anywhere to trigger the FREE SPINS ROUND.
Pick Free Spins and ride the multiplier

Choose one of 4 shields: more Free Spins with a 1x starting multiplier, fewer spins at 5x or 10x, or a random mix. Each Tumble raises the multiplier by 1x; 3 Scatters during the round retrigger 5 more spins, and the round caps at 20000x the bet.

Ways to play

Four documented parts form one chain in Great Rhino Megaways: the Megaways base game produces Tumbles and Scatter triggers, the Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins modify or bypass that trigger, and the Free Spins round with its Progressive Multiplier is where both routes converge.

Base Game

Six reels with variable heights deliver up to 200,704 ways to win; reels 2 to 5 add a top row that spins independently, and the Wild lands only on that row. Every win starts a Tumble, where winning symbols vanish and new ones drop until no win remains, all tumbles from one spin paid together. Scatter coins gathered here set up the Free Spins round.
Double Chance to Win (Ante Bet)

Raising the bet multiplier from 20x to 25x, or 1.25 times the normal total stake, this toggle doubles the natural chance to reach Free Spins and places extra Scatter symbols on the reels. It trades directly against the buy option: while the Ante Bet is active, Buy Free Spins stays disabled.
Free Spins

Four or more Scatter symbols open the round through a Free Spins Choice screen: 15 spins at a 1x starting multiplier, 10 at 5x or 5 at 10x, with higher spin counts at five or six scatters and a random option. Each Tumble raises the Progressive Multiplier by 1x, and three Scatter symbols retrigger five spins with no stated limit.
Buy Free Spins

For 100x the current total bet, this purchase skips the base-game Scatter hunt and enters the Free Spins round at once, presenting the same four-option choice screen as a natural trigger. It stands in opposition to the Ante Bet: enabling Double Chance to Win renders the buy unavailable.
