Theme – Audio & Design Features – head to the African savannah  

The grassy plains of the African savannah are the setting for the Rhino Blitz slot. Visually, it looks rather like Buffalo Blitz but with rhinos instead of buffalos.

There’s a sweeping orchestral soundtrack playing in the background while you spin which ramps up the atmosphere. The design here isn’t flashy but it’s solid enough.

The reels are made up of A to 9 royals and an assortment of more rewarding animal symbols. In order of value are the antelope, monkey, gazelle and lion. The golden rhino is the most lucrative standard symbol. Land 6 of these in combination for a payout of 7.5 x your total stake.

The diamond symbol is the wild. This doesn’t deliver any payouts in its own right but it does substitute for all the standard symbols when it makes up part of a winning combination. Finally, there’s the Free Spins scatter symbol. Land 3 or more of these to activate the game’s main bonus feature.

Flip your tablet or smartphone into landscape mode and the 6 reel, 4 row game engine fits perfectly. The unfussy visuals also work just fine on the smaller screen devices, as does the straightforward gameplay. The Rhino Blitz mobile slot is simple and very easy to follow.

Rhino Blitz Bonus Features

The gameplay in Rhino Blitz is relatively straightforward. With 2 bonus features, the main extra is a free spins bonus where your winning chances are boosted with the arrival of mystery transformed symbols which come with multipliers attached.

Free Games feature

The Free Games feature is triggered in the usual manner by landing 3 or more Free Spin scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. This can lead to 100 free spins initially:

3 scatter symbols	8 free spins
4 scatter symbols	15 free spins
5 scatter symbols	25 free spins
6 scatter symbols	100 free spins

When the round starts, all the triggering scatter symbols transform into a random symbol. These symbols come with a 2x multiplier attached. These transformed symbols will appear on the reel that they originally landed on.

Retriggers are possible here too. Land 2 or more scatter symbols on reels that have a multiplier active and those multipliers increase by 1. The multipliers can reach 10x.

They also add extra free spins to your total. 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters will give you 5, 8, 15, 25 or 100 additional free spins. In total, you can play with up to 1,000 free spins.

Jackpot Blitz feature

Rhino Blitz is part of Playtech’s Jackpot Blitz network, so you’ll have a shot at landing 1 of 4 progressive jackpots. The Jackpot Blitz feature can trigger at random on any spin. You’ll then head to a new screen where you’ll be offered a selection of diamonds.

Behind each diamond is a jackpot symbol. Keep on picking until you uncover 3 matching jackpots. That’s the prize you’ll then win. You’re guaranteed to win 1 of the 4 jackpots if you trigger the feature. The jackpots are seeded at the following amounts meaning this is the minimum you’ll win:

Blitz Jackpot	£100,000
Major Jackpot	£5,000
Minor Jackpot	£500
Mini Jackpot	£50

They can of course get much higher than these starting figures. You can keep track of the current value of each of the 4 jackpots in the meters above the reels.

Rhino Blitz Review Summary – Buffalo Blitz with bigger multipliers + jackpots

Triggering a stampede of coins is the name of the game in the Rhino Blitz slot. With lots of similarities to Buffalo Blitz visually and in terms of gameplay, the Free Games feature offers the best opportunities of doing just that courtesy of the randomly transformed symbols and their multipliers. Landing a retrigger or 2 can really get things moving as the multipliers rise as well as adding extra free spins.

1 difference from Buffalo Blitz is that the multiplier can rise up to 10x in the rhino version. The main difference are the 4 progressive jackpots with the Blitz Jackpot worth at least £100,000.

Overall, the theme in Rhino Blitz is very familiar and the design is simply done. The Free Games feature is a good one though and with progressive jackpot prizes also in the mix, this game should prove very popular.

If you want rhinos with big potential wins, WMS’ Raging Rhino was the game that inspired Buffalo Blitz and offers wins of up to £250,000 per spin.
