Rhino Blitz Slot Demo + Review | Playtech Origins

Rhino Blitz Review

Slot developer Playtech reskins its legendary Buffalo Blitz slot to introduce Rhino Blitz, which comes with similar gameplay and design but also has a few tricks of its own. Here, players will benefit from exciting Free Spins that pay up to 10,000x, as well as have a chance to scoop one of the four progressive jackpots.

Rhino Blitz - Slot Outlook

Design-wise, Rhino Blitz doesn't differ a lot from its predecessors, as dominating the view is the same massive 6x4 reel set with 4,096 ways to play, while the backdrop showcases windswept savannah grass with a mountain range in the rear. Well, there's a change, albeit a tad ridiculous, as instead of North American plains we're now taken to African wilderness, according to the Acacia trees behind the reels. The soundtrack hasn't also changed a lot, and we still hear that classic orchestral music that picks up the tempo during bonus features whilst spinning the reels.

Rhino Blitz Slot - Reel Screen

Well, the math model hasn't benefited either since previous releases, and the stats in the Rhino Blitz slot are almost identical to those found in Buffalo Blitz and Buffalo Blitz II. Highly volatile, it comes with an RTP of 95.96%, which is a whisker beneath the average level within the industry. On top of that, keep in mind that 0.99% is contributed to the jackpots. Both high-rollers and casual players will find their suitable betting options here, as the stakes in Rhino Blitz vary from $0.2 to $200 per spin. Outside of the progressive jackpots, players can win up to 10,000x the stake on a single spin.

The paytable in Rhino Blitz includes 11 regular symbols, which are split into two categories. On the lower side, we see classic A-9 royals, while premiums involve wild African animals, all bettered by a golden rhinoceros. Following the rhinos are gazelles, monkeys, hyenas, and lions. At least 3 matching symbols are needed to land adjacently on a single payline to score a win, and 6-of-a-kind wins pay up to 7.5x the stake. Much like its older siblings, Rhino Blitz boasts a diamond Wild symbol, which doesn't possess any own value but helps you land wins by substituting for any other regular symbols.

Rhino Blitz - Bonus Features

The gameplay in Rhino Blitz is pretty simple with not that broad range of bonus features, and similarly to Buffalo slots, it relies heavily on the Free Spins feature. To trigger it, you need to land at least 3 Scatter symbols anywhere in view simultaneously. That said, 3, 4, 5, and 6 Scatter symbols award 8, 15, 25, and 100 spins respectively. Once activated, triggering symbols will transform into random regular symbols with a 2x Multiplier, and those symbols will be displayed above the corresponding reels during the feature. Now, whenever a win lands and a Multiplier symbol takes part in it, the win will be multiplied by the respective value. What's more, retriggers increase all Multiplier values by +1, up to 10x, as well as grant players additional 5, 8, 15, 25, and 100 spins for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 Scatters, up to a maximum of 1,000 free spins.

Connected to the huge Jackpot Blitz network, the slot offers four progressive jackpots that can be won on any spin. The Jackpot Blitz feature may trigger randomly both in the base and the bonus games, after which players will proceed to a screen made up of mystery diamond symbols. Then, players should pick diamonds one by one until they reveal 3 matching jackpot symbols. Available Jackpot Prizes are the following:

• Mini Jackpot - seeds at $50.
• Minor Jackpot - seeds at $500
• Major Jackpot - seeds at $5,000
• Blitz Jackpot - seeds at $100,000.

Rhino Blitz - Slot Verdict

Although Rhino Blitz might seem the same Buffalo Blitz in a new package, the features laid down here take it to a whole new level of entertainment, and of course, rewards. Well, it is in fact, but with enhanced Free Spins and a new Jackpot feature that will be the main reason why players may seem drawn to spin the reels on it. However, you can't say the same about the base game, which remained as straightforward as in the previous slots, with no extras on offer. Anyway, having tremendous prizes within reach is still worth it.
