Intro

Mega Moolah Game is a truly legendary slot. Released by Microgaming studio back in 2006, the game is still very popular. And it succeeds thanks to one of the largest progressive jackpots in the world. During the existence of the game, thousands of people around the world have become millionaires, and millions of others have become a little richer thanks to other levels of the jackpot.

 

This slot marked the beginning of a whole series of slots from Microgaming and their partner studios. There are already over 10 titles in the series that share the jackpot and new titles continue releasing.

 

Slot Overview

Mega Moolah Game is a slot with a standard 5 rows and 3 reels grid. It has 25 paylines and is made in Safari theme. Not so long ago, the game received a graphic update and now looks quite decent. The interface of the game is convenient and nothing distracts attention from the game. Autoplay and fast reel spin modes are available. The RTP in the game is quite low due to the presence of the jackpot and amounts to 88.12%. The maximum possible winning in the game, excluding the jackpot, is small. It is capped at $/€ 12,000. But combined with low volatility, this is a good value. In any case, most players who open at Mega Moolah casino do not care about the usual winnings. All of them are interested in the jackpot and preferably the bigger one.

Mega Moolah Jackpot

Mega Moolah has 4 levels of jackpot:

  • Mini – starts at  $/€10.
  • Minor – starts at  $/€100.
  • Major – starts at  $/€10,000.
  • Mega – starts at  $/€1,000,000.

All jackpot levels are progressive. This means that their value increases over time. And the more people play, the faster the jackpots grow. Any of these jackpots can be won in a jackpot game. The jackpot game starts randomly at any time during the game, except for the Free Spins round. The jackpot game is a wheel that you are invited to spin. It is divided into segments, each of which contains its own jackpot. Most of the segments are reserved for the Mini Jackpot, and the Mega Jackpot is only one segment. To increase your chances of winning, you can increase the bet.

 

The biggest Mega jackpot hit in April 2021 and totaled €19,423,723.60.

Slot Features

The jackpot is certainly cool, but, unfortunately, it falls out very rarely. And most likely you will have to spin the reels for a very long time before you can see the coveted splash screen. Therefore, for jackpot games, it is important to have interesting and varied gameplay. Unfortunately, Mega Moolah cannot boast of such a thing. The age of the game affects it. When the game was released the players were not yet fed up with the classic slot gameplay.

 

Mega Moolah has the standard set of slots features but with a little upgrade. The lion from the game’s logo is also a wild symbol. Besides the fact that it substitutes any symbol except Scatter, it also doubles the winnings. The next feature is, of course, Free Spins. To launch the Free Spins round you need to land at least 3 Scatters symbols. The amount of Free Spins is fixed and you will get 15 Free Spins. The feature can be retriggered if you land 3 more symbols during the bonus round. And all the winnings during Free Spins will be multiplied by 3.

 

Summary

It may seem boring to many modern gamblers. But it is worth giving Microgaming its due for the safety of the game. It is not reissued, not closed, but maintained in working form so that as many people as possible can touch the game story. And despite all the disadvantages, I advise you to try playing this game at least once. Who knows, maybe you are the next one to take the Mega Jackpot with you?
