Raging Rhino has been around in the world of gaming for a while now, and has been a big hit among many.
The original Raging Rhino was as volatile and harsh as the plains of Africa themselves, and not long after we welcomed a Megaways Slot take on the game with open arms.
This time, SG digital are back with Raging Rhino Rampage Slot, their third instalment to the series, which promises the familiarity you know and love as well as big differences.
Provided originally by WMS Games, all of the Raging Rhino slots started off as cabinet machines within casinos before being ported digitally for all to enjoy online.
Return to Africa with Raging Rhino Rampage Slot
Raging Rhino Rampage Slot sticks to a very familiar theme seen previously in the first two games. In the background you’ll see the vast plains of Africa and clear blue sky.
To the left of the reel you’ll see our figurehead for the game, the Rhino, though he doesn’t seem to be rampaging yet as the title of the game suggests.
The audio for Raging Rhino Rampage Slot is typical from the type of theme, with wild sounding effects and an African soundtrack. Pretty much what you’d expect from a Raging Rhino game, or a game with an African theme, but it’s all done well.
Betting and Symbols
Betting options for Raging Rhino Rampage Slot are £0.40 to £20 with a fair few options in between the two. Generally, it’ll pretty much cover the needs for most players.
A lot of providers set the lowest option at £0.10 or £0.20, but this unfortunately isn’t an option in this game, so players comfortable at these lower stakes may find that Raging Rhino Rampage Slot isn’t the game for them.
The Rhino is unsurprisingly the top symbol in the game, with the Cheetah, Crocodile and Badger making their return as other high paying symbols. A, K. Q, J, 10 and 9 are the low paying symbols. Wild symbols also make an appearance, appearing only on reels 2-5.
The Base Game and Features
Raging Rhino Rampage Slot starts off with 4,096 ways to win. Wins pay from left to right, and matching 3 symbols on consecutive reels starting from the left most reel will form a win.
Big wins are possible by matching Rhino symbols across the screen, even more so with the help of Wilds, and Raging Rhino Rampage Slot has even more features in store to further the possibility of hitting big.
Expanding Reels
Randomly, the number of positions on two or more reels may randomly increase up to 6 positions high, increasing the ways to win. This will up that potential to land more symbols, more connections and bigger wins.
Reels are reset to their default layout of 4 high at the commencement of any new spin.
Extra Rhinos
At the start of any spin, two or more reels may be randomly enhanced, adding extra Rhino symbols to the reels.
This is an exciting feature that exponentially increases the potential of connecting with that top symbol. If you’re lucky, more than two reels will be enhanced with these symbols.
Free Spins
3, 4, 5 or 6 Diamond Scatter symbols landing anywhere in view will award 5, 8, 15 or 20 Free spins. Before the Bonus hunt starts you’ll be taken to the Wheel Feature
The Wheel Feature can award Extra Free Games and Jackpot Prizes. If you land on any of the wedges on the wheel that give you extra Free Games, then the total will be added to your current spins, and you’ll get the chance to spin again.
The wedge that you landed on to obtain the extra spins will now change to act as a ‘Start’ wedge, which will commence the bonus. Extra Free Game prizes can be either 2, 3, 5 or a whopping 50 extra spins.
Jackpot slot prizes that can be won on the Wheel Feature are Mini, Minor and Major.
- Mini – 25x
- Minor – 250x
- Major – 2500x
During the bonus, Wild symbols will now multiply wins by 2x or 3x, making the potential much higher for wins that were previously impossible in the base game.
Expanding Reels and Extra Rhinos can also appear as a feature within the bonus, sometimes even together.
Raging Rhino Rampage Slot also has a buy feature, available for those outside the UK, and is available for 75x your stake. Bonus buy RTP is 96.70%. The option to Gamble for a reduced buy is also available.
Symbols may increase up to 8 high in the buy feature creating up to 262,144 ways to win.
Our Verdict
Raging Rhino Rampage Slot is a very different experience to one you would have felt from the previous games, with captivating features like Expanding Reels and Extra Rhinos.
Sadly though, it feels as if there’s a big drawback to this game if you’re playing in the UK. From reading the rules, it seems as if the potential to grow the symbols to 8 high is only available in the Free Spins buy option, which will not be available in the UK.
On top of this, there’s also a gamble option that will give, if successful, a reduced buy option, which again will not be available in the UK.
The game is definitely still a viable option for those in the UK though, despite the drawbacks.
Fans of the original or Megaways version of Raging Rhino will definitely want to have a look at this one.
