Raging Rhino Mighty Ways Slot Review 2024

Light & Wonder are taking us back into dangerous territory as we head to the Savanna in the hopes of seeing a stampede, in Raging Rhino Mighty Ways!

Light & Wonder has taken another of their beloved titles and entwined it with the almighty Mighty Ways mechanic, but will this new take on an old favourite live up to expectations? Raging Rhino is the 3rd and probably not final Light & Wonder slot to recieve the Mighty Ways upgrade, alongside Cluedo Mighty Ways and 300 Shields Mighty Ways.

Raging Rhino is one of those slots that gained widespread popularity. Even years after its released, it’s remembered and revered by many.

It had a few variants over the years, with a Megaways instalment released back in 2019. The actual original goes back much further having released in land-based casinos before coming online over 8 years ago.

Few slots have a résumé like Raging Rhino, and now its glorious return is marked with the great Mighty Ways mechanic. Can Mighty Ways do Raging Rhino Justice?

Let’s check it out.

Raging Rhino Mighty Ways: Our verdict

Raging Rhino Mighty Ways isn’t as volatile as 300 Shields Mighty Ways is, but that’s to be expected given the apparent need for 300x multipliers to make it true to the series.

Despite this, we think the Mighty Ways Mechanic shines once again; maybe even more so than the Megaways mechanic in some regard. The Mighty Ways mechanic just feels like it has the potential to kick off at any given moment with ways that can grow beyond comprehension.

One minute you’re playing with a moderate amount of ways, and the next minute there’s too many symbols to even read the situation.

The Mighty Ways mechanic seems to work around the way the games worked previousy, and the personality of the original Raging Rhino is still alive and well here. The Megaways mechanic can see itself as the main event at times, but we appreciate how the Mighty Ways mechanic seems to work to enunciate the personality of the game.

This is where we think it shines. Many games have lost their uniqueness by adopting a standard version of the Megaways mechanic, yet none of the Mighty Ways slots has done the same.

In terms of potential, Raging Rhino Mighty Ways looks great with up to 12,000x as a maximum win. It’s not quite 300 Shields Mighty Ways, but like we said, we didn’t really expect it.

Overall, Raging Rhino Mighty Ways is a great ode to the original game, and a fun way to re-experience the legend that is Raging Rhino.
