Raging Rhino Megaways slot review (WMS)

A new slot trend seems to have emerged: creating Megaways versions of existing slots

WMS did it before with Fishing Frenzy Megaways, Nextgen released the insanely fantastic Medusa Megaways, and now WMS comes out with Raging Rhino Megaways.

The original Raging Rhino is a true classic, and there are few people on this globe that have never played this high variance slot.

Because of the win all ways, wilds with multipliers and stacked rhinoceros, you could win a tremendous amount of money on the Raging Rhino slot.

But you can always kick it up a notch. Because here is Raging Rhino Megaways, with many ways to win, unlimited multipliers and the famous mechanism with winning combinations that disappear to make room for new ones.

That Raging Rhino Megaways is going to be a massive success, is already without a doubt. When you combine two of the most successful and innovative slot mechanisms in one new slot, that has to lead to a dazzling display, or does it?

Fortunately, Raging Rhino Megaways does not disappoint in any way.

In fact, it is precisely what we envisioned beforehand: an absolute top-notch video slot.

How does Raging Rhino Megaways work?

For the one player that has never played Megaways slots, here is a brief run-down of how it works:

• The win all ways mechanism is active.
• There is a base set of 6 reels; the number of rows varies per spin.
• On top of the base set is an extra reel that is 4 wide by 1.
• Winning combinations disappear and make room for new ones.
• The maximum number of Megaways (to win) is 117,649.
• The variance of any Megaways slot is almost always sky-high.

Betting starts at $€ 0.20, up to a maximum of $€ 20, per spin.

There is no Buy a bonus feature, so to get those lucrative bonus rounds, you will have to spin the old fashioned way.

The high variance translates into a maximum price of 10,000 x the total bet or $€ 250,000, whichever comes first.

Symbols and payouts

The Rhinos are the most important symbol by a long stretch. Not only because they look magnificent, but also because they pay out the most.

Besides that, the Rhinos are also stacked, which by way of wilds and the win all ways, can lead to some tasty wins. 6 Rhinos earn you a prize of 25 x the total bet.

All other animals (such as a gorilla, crocodile and jaguar) are worth between 2 x and 7.5 x the total bet with a 6-of-a-kind.

The card symbols 9, 10, J, Q, K and A are good for between 0.8 x and 1.75 x the bet with six of the same ones. That sounds on the low side, but believe you me: even a card symbol can (especially in the bonus round) deliver a mega payout.

The savannah sunset symbols stand for everything that makes this slot so beautiful: hope, a burning African sun and massive payouts.

These symbols are (what else could they be) the wild symbols. They replace all other symbols except for the scatters and only appear on reels 2 through 5.

Free spin bonus

Four or more scattered diamonds get you 8 free spins. During the free spins, if 3 or more diamonds show up, you get another 8 extra free spins.

There are two boosters during the free spins that can deliver the goods:

• After every winning combination, the multiplier goes up by +1.
• The wilds contain EXTRA multipliers of x 2, x 3 or even x 5.

You understand that all those increasing multipliers and wilds with extra multipliers can start some fireworks during the free spins.

Are things not going your way, and are you winning less than 10 x the total bet? Then the Bonus Guarantee will add to that amount to reach the 10 x level.

Our verdict on the Raging Rhino Megaways video slot

Raging Rhino Megaways is very well done and has been able to merge both concepts into one successfully.

We expect WMS will come out with more of these kinds of Megaways slots. Imagine a Bier Haus Megaways slot or a Bruce Lee Megaways one.

If you are a fan of Megaways slots, this is a welcome addition to the ever-growing collection of Megaways slots. And if you love Raging Rhino, and let’s be honest, who isn’t, then you will be crazy about this Megaways version.

4.2 out of 5 stars.
