Is Mega Moolah the right slot for you?

Mega Moolah is a 5 reel, 25 payline slot that’s famous for its huge progressive jackpots, though it has a maximum multiplier of 225,000 coins too.

If you’re looking for value in the form of high RTPs, this game probably isn’t for you, as the price you pay for the chance to win extremely large prizes is an RTP of under 90%. That said, it hasn’t put most players off, as this Mega Moolah online slot has been one of the top jackpot slots since it was released in 2006.

Game Info

(/5)

We know why they called it Mega Moolah, but for some reason the Microgaming designers settled on an African animal theme (maybe because it’s a Big Game?).

Move past the standard 10-to-Ace card ranks for the lower value symbols and you get to the good stuff higher up the food chain. Antelopes, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests and elephants grace the reels with a few quirks that make this Mega Moolah game supremely good fun. Unsurprisingly the King of the Jungle is used as the Wild symbol.

Game features

Wild Lion

Wild Lion symbols can appear on any reel and substitute for everything but scatters. Any win completed using the Wild Lion is doubled, too.

Free spins

Hit 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols on any reels during a normal round and you’ll trigger 15 Free Spins. Any wins earned during these Mega Moolah Free Spins are tripled, and additional Free Spins can be retriggered too.

Jackpot bonus

Mega Moolah has 4 progressive jackpots – Mega, Major, Minor and Mini – with guaranteed minimums of 1 million, 10 thousand, 100 and 10. The bonus game is triggered randomly with no warning, and in it you get one spin of the jackpot wheel to reveal which of the 4 jackpots you’ll win.

The Mega Moolah Jackpot Wheel has 20 segments; 1 white Mega segment, 3 yellow Major segments, 6 orange Minor segments and 10 red Mini segments. As you can see, once you’ve entered this bonus, you’re guaranteed to win a jackpot.

Other games like this

Money Train Origins

If you want to play for 7 figure sums these days, Relax Gaming’s Dream Drop is the jackpot network to look out for. Last time I played their Money Train Origins slot, the Dream Drop mega jackpot was just north of £2 million. Money Train slots are all fantastic games in their own right, with top graphics and a properly fun Money Cart bonus round.

King Kong Cash Go Bananas

Any slots on Blueprint’s Jackpot King network will give you a straight shot at some pretty big prizes, and as I write this, their main pot stands at £2.04 million. Like most Blueprint slots, King Kong Cash Go Bananas has a ridiculous amount of superb bonus features, so even if you don’t hit that 1 in a gazillion shot, you should have great fun.

My verdict

Mega Moolah is no 1-trick-pony, with a perfect balance of Wilds, Free Spins and Jackpot Bonuses. Together, they deliver a steady stream of entertaining moments and drama.

Is Mega Moolah the perfect slot? Decades of fans and a fair few millionaires will say it is. When it was launched, it was one of a kind but now we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to jackpots and there are some very good alternatives out there.
