One of the Microgaming's most famous progressive slots, Mega Moolah, actually contributes FOUR progressive prizes and comes with 5 reels and 25 pay-lines.

Mega Moolah is an impressive slot machine running on the Microgaming software platform based on the ancient Egypt theme. It includes Free Spins, Multiplier, Progressive, Scatter Symbol and Wild Symbol. It has 5 reels and 25 pay lines, that can all be activated at the same time depending on how much money you bet.

And, did you know that...

…Mega Moolah still holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest online win, with thousands of online slot players trying to win the progressive Jackpot every day! 

Theme

This safari-themed online slot game uses the big 5 South African animals as the main character symbols, such as Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, and then 3 other cute animals that represent the safari, such as the Giraffe, Zebra, and Deer. And the bright orange setting makes you feel like you are relaxing in the warm glow of a safari sunset.

The reels are set against a backdrop of a gloomy sunset and packed with animals from that region. As expected, the King of the Jungle is used as the Wild symbol. The scatter symbol, which triggers the Free Spins feature, is more inapplicable, a beaming, popped-eyed, purple witch, doctor monkey.

The graphics have a classic look that is somewhat nostalgic compared to the hustle and bustle of modern video slots. They’ve held out quite well throughout the years, considering that the online version of the Mega Moolah slot is more than a decade old.

In the background, there are the sounds of the savannah with the odd bongo drum for good measure. Hit some Wilds, and you'll get a lovely snippet of African music, which has that Lion King vibe. Though this game is not quite among the prettiest games - with its rather simplistic looks - that didn't prevent this African animal-themed title from becoming one of the most famous and popular slots of all time. You might wonder why? Well, let me tell you…

… it’s the progressive jackpot! ( but, we will come back to this later ).

Betting Options

Mega Moolah isn’t an overly complicated slot. It comes as close to a prototypical online slot as they get.

But, even if you are a beginner, you are also able to hit the jackpot, because you can improve your playing skills in online casinos. The game allows you to adjust the number and denomination of the coins you bet, as well as to select on how many pay lines to place a wager.

There is an auto-play feature, though you have to access that from the advanced options. It allows you to set up several spins and even a ‘stop’ trigger. 

You can bet from as little as £0.01, thus, if you are still unsure of the game, you do not have to lose a lot of money on it. The maximum coin bet is of 125 coins. Coin sizes range from 0.01 per spin to 0.05 per spin. 

Mega Moolah has 15 free spin games when you get 3 monkeys on the reels. You will also see any wins that you earn during the free spins bonus round tripled thanks to a 3x multiplier. It is also good to know that the free spins can be re-triggered during the feature.

In 2015, one lucky player bet $0.25 on the Mega Moolah online slot and won the jackpot of over $13million!

Features Explained

Microgaming’s Mega Moolah is an online gaming slot with a max bet of just £6.25. So, even progressive jackpots aside, Mega Moolah wins can go as high as 225,000 coins. As a result of the progressives, which are funded by 8.8% contributions from all bets, the Mega Moolah RTP is 88.12%. That’s a little lower than most standard slots but, it is definitely worth it? 

The lion here is the Wild symbol, and it can substitute for all the other symbols except the Scatter. Usually, the Wild symbol is something players might expect to hold a huge amount of power within a slot but that is not the case with this slot. It simply acts as a little bonus reward. But the best part is...

... all the wins that contain the lion Wild are doubled!

And then there is the wise monkey – a Scatter symbol. Collect three, four, or five of them and enjoy your round of 15 free spins. It is also good to know that the free spins bonus round can be re-triggered during the free spins. And that's not all:

The game triples all the wins that result from the free spins!

So, how can I become a millionaire, you ask?

The answer is simple: the progressive jackpot!

Arguably, it is the main reason for such huge attention of players. But, to get to its famous jackpot is through winning the bonus game. The most important thing you should know is this: The Jackpot Bonus can be randomly triggered with any spin! This is the wheel of fortune inside Mega Moolah Slot, simply spin the wheel and hope it will land on the Mega jackpot.

In 2019 the Mega Jackpot has already triggered nine times paying out over 68 million! 

There are no prize-free segments so you’re guaranteed to win a jackpot. There are 4 different progressive jackpots – Mega, Major, Minor and Mini. These each have guaranteed minimums of 1 million, 10 thousand, 100 and 10.

And the reason so many players keep returning to Mega Moolah is very simple: the money keeps going up. And, of course, the more you bet, the higher your chances of winning the big one. In any case, the entire system is governed by a random number generator (RNG).

Conclusion

If you are hoping to suddenly become a millionaire, you should first try the Mega Moolah free play. It is a slot that does not require a massive budget to become one of the famed real money Mega Moolah winners.

Statistics show that every nine weeks there will be a winner from this game, and the mega jackpot prize is so huge and attractive that you do not want to miss it.

Even in this age of more interactive slots, Mega Moolah offers online gaming in its purest form with its decent features and the graphics and sounds that are super fun.
