FluxPlays verdict
Our verdict
Yes, if you like a hold-and-respin feature with a clear target. Two full rhino stacks lock in, every new rhino sticks and adds a respin, and 14 or 15 of them pay a fixed jackpot. The free spins, with every rhino wild, are a decent second route. The drawback is the top end: nothing can be bought, and the biggest named prize is modest.
Who it suits
Play this if…
- Hold-and-respin fans: every new rhino sticks and adds a respin, toward a 14-rhino MAJOR
- Short-session players: the Low label shows in frequent small line wins
- Learners: one trigger, one target count and two fixed jackpots make the feature easy to read
Skip this if…
- Bonus buyers: nothing can be bought, so both features have to land on their own
- Max-win hunters: the biggest named prize is the GRAND, well short of the Megaways version
- Free-spins fans: the 10 spins cannot retrigger, and they never start a Super Respin

Great Rhino: Full Review
Great Rhino turns on one trigger: two full stacks of rhinos lock the reels into a Super Respin, where every new rhino sticks and buys another respin, and 14 or 15 of them pay a fixed jackpot. Pragmatic Play released this original version in May 2018, before Great Rhino Deluxe and Great Rhino Megaways. It is made for players who want a hold-and-respin feature at Low volatility, with free spins on the side.

How Great Rhino works
Twenty lines pay left to right on a 5x3 grid, and the rhino is both the top symbol and the engine of the game. The blue rhino coin is the WILD, on every reel, and substitutes for all symbols but BONUS.
| Symbol | Five / four / three at $1 |
|---|---|
| WILD coin | $25.00 / $7.50 / $2.50 |
| Rhino | $20.00 / $7.50 / $2.50 |
| Cheetah | $10.00 / $2.50 / $0.75 |
| Crocodile | $7.50 / $2.00 / $0.50 |
| Hyena | $5.00 / $1.50 / $0.50 |
| Flamingo | $2.50 / $1.25 / $0.50 |
| A | $1.25 / $0.50 / $0.25 |
| K, Q, J | $1.00 / $0.50 / $0.25 |
How the features connect:
- Rhinos land in stacks, and two or more full stacks anywhere start the Super Respin.
- In the Super Respin only rhinos spin, and each new one sticks and adds a respin.
- The respin ends in a line-win payout, or in the MAJOR or GRAND jackpot if the grid holds 14 or 15 rhinos.
- Three BONUS symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 start 10 free spins, where every rhino is a WILD.
The Super Respin carries the game. The free spins are the side dish, and the line wins between them are small.
The base game at our $1 bet, with both jackpots shown in dollars above the reels. FluxPlays demo test, 3 November 2026.
How the Super Respin works
The trigger spin pays its normal line wins first. Then only the full rhino stacks stay on the reels, and the round starts with 3 respins. Only rhinos land during it, every new one sticks, and each one adds a respin, so the round runs for as long as rhinos keep arriving.
When the respins run out, every line win made of rhinos is added up and paid. Two counts change that. With 14 rhinos on the grid at the end, the MAJOR replaces the line wins. A fifteenth rhino ends the feature on the spot with the GRAND.
| Jackpot | Pays at $1 | How it comes |
|---|---|---|
| MAJOR | $375 | 14 rhinos when the Super Respin ends |
| GRAND | $500 | 15 rhinos, the full grid, at any point |
By the rules, a grid that ends on 14 rhinos pays $375 at a $1 bet, whatever its rhino lines would have paid. If the same spin also lands three BONUS symbols, the free spins play after the Super Respin is over.

Free spins: how they trigger
Three BONUS symbols, which only land on reels 2, 3 and 4, pay 2x the bet and give 10 free spins. During them every rhino turns into a WILD and pays on the WILD's line, so a stacked rhino turns part or all of a reel wild. Special reels are in play, BONUS symbols are gone, and the round can neither retrigger nor start a Super Respin.
Our only free spins came on spin 70. Stacked rhinos turned WILD on the first two reels and had paid $14.75 by the fourth free spin. The round finished at $28.75.
Free spin 4 of our natural round from spin 70: stacked rhino WILDs on reels 1 and 2, with $14.75 won so far. FluxPlays demo test, 3 November 2026.
RTP, volatility and max win
The rules give 96.53%, the same as Pragmatic Play's game page, and a Low volatility label on both the rules page and the intro screen. The rules print no max win, so that row stays out of the table. The GRAND, fixed at 500x the bet, is the top prize the game names, but the rules do not call it a cap.

Played on Pragmatic Play's public USD demo on 3 November 2026 with play money, from a $100,000 balance. The demo opened at $1.80 and was lowered to a $1.00 total bet (5 coins per line x $0.01 coin value x 20 lines). The game has no ante bet or buy. A small script in the page pressed the spin button for each spin (autoplay off, quick spin on). Totals from the server log: $100.00 staked, $78.45 back, closing balance $99,978.45 on the server and on screen. The best plain base spin ($13.40, spin 78) was not captured.
Great Rhino played the way its Low label suggests. Wins came often and small, the longest dry run lasted twelve spins, and spin 78 gave the best plain base win, $13.40. The free spins on spin 70 were the session's one feature, and the rhino WILDs on the first two reels did much of their work.
Two full rhino stacks never lined up together, so the Super Respin and its jackpots are described from the rules. One session of this length cannot measure the RTP, only show how the game plays.
The end of our only free spins round, from spin 70: $28.75 in 10 free spins. FluxPlays demo test, 3 November 2026.
Is Great Rhino worth playing?
Yes, if a sticky respin feature with fixed jackpots is what you come for. The Super Respin is easy to follow and has a clear target, 14 rhinos, and the Low label keeps the base game moving while you wait for two stacks. The catch is the ceiling: the GRAND is the biggest named prize, and the trigger cannot be bought.
Wolf Gold is the pick if you want a Money Respin with fixed jackpots up to a higher top prize. Pick Great Rhino Megaways if you want the same rhino theme with tumbles, a buy and a far higher cap. Choose Great Rhino for the plainest version: two stacks, sticky rhinos and a jackpot count.
In the demo, watch the reels for full rhino stacks. Two full ones at once is the only way into the Super Respin, so you learn quickly how often the feature is in reach.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you trigger the Super Respin in Great Rhino?+
Land two or more full stacks of rhinos anywhere on the reels. Only those stacks stay, the round starts with 3 respins, and only rhinos land, each one sticking and adding a respin. At the end the rhino line wins are paid, unless the grid holds 14 or 15 rhinos.
What are the jackpots in Great Rhino?+
Two fixed jackpots, both won only in the Super Respin. The MAJOR pays 375x the bet when the round ends with 14 rhinos, in place of the line wins. The GRAND pays 500x the moment a fifteenth rhino fills the grid, and the feature ends there. Neither is progressive.
How do free spins work in Great Rhino?+
Three BONUS symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 award 10 free spins. In them every rhino is a WILD that pays on the wild paytable. The round cannot retrigger and cannot start a Super Respin. Ours, from spin 70, was the session's one feature.
What is the difference between Great Rhino and Great Rhino Megaways?+
Great Rhino is the 2018 original on 20 fixed lines, with a sticky rhino Super Respin and two fixed jackpots. Great Rhino Megaways is a later, separate game on a Megaways grid with tumbles, free spins whose multiplier grows, a bonus buy and a 20,000x cap. Both carry a Low label.
