If you want an African animal theme, Great Rhino suits you. The game uses 5 reels and 3 rows with 20 fixed paylines. Symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel, so two matching symbols are enough for a win. The rhino, cheetah, crocodile, hyena and flamingo carry the theme, with A, K and Q as the card faces.
Read the feature rules before you bet. Two or more full rhino stacks anywhere start the Super Respin Feature, where each new rhino stays locked and adds a respin. Three BONUS symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 award 10 free spins, and every rhino turns WILD for that round. Free Spins cannot be retriggered, and Super Respin does not start during them.
Round rules
Read this before your first spin, or when the reels show two rhino stacks.
Two or more full rhino stacks start it. It opens with 3 respins. Each new rhino that lands stays locked and adds one respin. Finally all rhino wins are summed and paid. Exactly 14 rhino symbols on screen at the end award the MAJOR JACKPOT fixed 375x total bet.
Base game spinsRespins and jackpot
Three BONUS symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 trigger it. You get 10 free spins. All rhino symbols turn WILD and substitute for all symbols, paying on the WILD paytable. Special reels are in play. Super Respin cannot trigger here, and free spins cannot be retriggered.

The base game uses 5 reels and 3 rows with 20 fixed paylines. Symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. The Super Respin and Free Spins features start from these reels.

Round Basics
Removes the guesswork about where a spin starts and where the money lands.
Set your stake anywhere from A$0.20 to A$240; the 20 paylines stay fixed, so the bet follows the payline count without you adding or removing any. The A$5 shown in the examples below is only a reference point, not the ceiling.
Great Rhino pays left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost one, over 5 reels and 3 rows. Symbols match from reel one and your win is the paytable value for that combination at your stake.
Watch for full rhino stacks: two or more of them anywhere on the reels start the Super Respin Feature. Wilds also land in the base game and substitute for every symbol except the BONUS.
Land three BONUS symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 and 10 free spins begin with special reels. All rhinos turn WILD for the whole round and pay from the WILD paytable.
Fix a loss limit and a time check before you press spin, because the Super Respin round can keep adding respins and stretch a session. When either line is reached, close the round and step away.
Budget A$100 of stakes through this slot and the long-run return is A$96.53. The game rules screen in this lobby names which build is running, so check it before you deposit.

Decide before the first spin that the bonus round is a surprise, not a plan. How often it comes is not known in advance. No one can predict the next bonus round from earlier spins. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP is, and two sessions with the same bet can end in very different places.
Check which RTP version is running before you choose a title in the lobby. The game rules are the only place that shows it, and the Great Rhino series has three versions with different figures. Read the rules of the exact title you open, not the name on the tile.
Treat the top prize as a ceiling, not a goal. It is reached very rarely, and no spin brings it closer than any other. Its size only tells you the most one bet can return, not when that happens. Set your bet and your budget before the first spin, and stop when you reach the limit you set.
Great Rhino questions
Midnight Casino lists the payouts and the rules first, so you know the game before you bet.
The MAJOR JACKPOT is a fixed prize of 375 times the total bet. It is awarded when exactly 14 rhino symbols are on screen at the end of a Super Respin. All rhino win combinations from that round are added up and paid too.
The original Great Rhino has an RTP of 96.53 percent. Great Rhino Deluxe returns 96.54 percent and Great Rhino Megaways returns 96.58 percent. RTP is a long-run figure, so it does not say what one session will pay.
Great Rhino has medium volatility. Results can swing up and down during a session. No one can tell in advance how often the bonus features will land.
This page covers the original Great Rhino. Deluxe lists a maximum win of 6,242 times the bet. Megaways lists 20,000 times the bet, the largest figure in the series.
Players must be 18+. In Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and keep that amount in a separate budget. When it is gone, the session ends.
Pick the time or the number of spins you will play before you start, and stop when you reach it. A win does not change that point.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you start. Choose amounts you would not need for anything else.
When the game stops being fun, take a break. If the urge to keep playing stays, self-exclude through BetStop.
