Great Rhino Megaways Pokie

The principal thing to know about the pokie is how the Megaways engine works. To cut the long story short, it is a reel modifier which makes each and every symbol change its size in each new spin. Because of that, the reels can host between 2 and 8 icons and altogether generate different number of ways to win on every spin, with the maximum established at 200,704 ways. Great Rhino Megaways further develops the intrigue by deploying differently sized reels. The leftmost and rightmost reels are capable to accommodate up to 7 icons while reels 2–5 are one position taller and may host up to 8 icons. The number of Megaways to win generated by these striking reels is displayed on a special indicator on top of the reels. The second important thing about the slot machine is how it pays out winnings. Megaways are combinations of matching icons sitting in any order on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost one. To earn some real money, players do not need to land icons on paylines or arrange them in intricate clusters. It is enough to have at least three identical symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, that’s it. A win is calculated according to so lucrative rules that the paytable offers quite low base awards. The Great Rhino Megaways pokie machine uses ten normal icons including five playing cards from 10 to A and five African animals. Cards and all animals (but one) pay when there are 3 icons of a kind on adjacent reels counting from the leftmost reel. Cheetah, the best earning regular icon, pays when there are at least 2 of them. These icons award between x0.1 and x20 the stake. A bet size runs from NZ$0.20 to NZ$100 per spin, thus the top award does not exceed NZ$2,000. It may be slightly increased due to the Ante Bet feature to be explained in detail below. But Megaways math changes everything. If a spin brings 12 Cheetahs on adjacent reels, 4 Cheetahs per reel, there are 4x4x4=64 ways. A 3-Cheetah combo pays x2 the stake, there are 64 ways so the total payout amounts to 64×2=x128 the stake or up to NZ$12,800 at the max bet. This amazing ability to produce huge wins from the low paytable makes the pokie a true heavyweight in the online casino domain. Payouts are further improved by bonus features. Wild symbols substitute for any regular icon and land on reels 2–5 in any position on the uppermost short row only. Scatters pop up in any position and trigger free spins. Wilds cannot work instead of scatters. Neither wild nor scatter pays any award.

This bonus feature is capable of turning a single spin into a sequence of respins. It activates after any win and removes all winning icons from the reels. This action empties some positions which are immediately taken by new random icons coming from above and on the uppermost row from the right side. Tumbling occurs as long as it produces a win. If no win is generated as a result of a respin, the base game restores and runs as normal till the next tumbling sequence. Arranged like this, the Tumbling feature squeezes from the slot machine the best payout it is capable of. When activated, the feature actually freezes the Megaways mechanics. A tumbling sequence, whatever long, runs with the constant number of ways to win equal to that in the triggering spin.

The Ante Bet feature lets players increase the bet and extend it up to NZ$125. An ante bet improves probabilities of triggering free spins because it makes more scatters appear on the reels. As soon as free spins have the maximum winning capacity of x20,000, there are all reasons to activate the feature and pay a bit extra in order to get there where such massive wins are paid. Another way to push the slot machine towards Free Spins is the Buy Bonus option that costs x100 times the total bet. It can be activated at any time and get free spins up and running immediately.

This is the core bonus feature of Great Rhino Megaways arranged in an adorable way. The feature triggers when there are 4 or more scatters on the reels. When there is a qualified number of scatters, the online casino pokie pays out all wins landed in the triggering round and offers a choice. Depending on the number of triggering scatters, there are the following options printed across nice African shields:

• Four scatters offer 5, 10 or 15 free spins with x10, x5 or x1 starting multipliers respectively;
• Five scatters offer 9, 14 or 19 free spins with the same starting multipliers and
• Six scatters offer 13, 18 or 23 free spins.
• Mystery choice: the online casino pokie awards a random number of free spins with randomly selected starting multipliers.

The starting multipliers grow by +1 with every tumble; as soon as one spin may result in several consecutive tumbles, a win multiplier would add more than 1 every free spin and grow by much higher than 23 during 23 free spins. This would be a fantastic prize awarded for playing an excellent slot machine in a favorite online casino. Free spins retriggers every time three scatters hit the reels during the feature. The pokie awards five extra FS. The only thing that limits this amazing and lucrative show is the maximum value of the payout which cannot exceed x20,000 the stake (established by the game provider). To win that much players should sign up with a trustworthy online casino featuring the pokie machine and play it for real money.
