Mega Moolah is probably the most hyped and highest-paying progressive jackpot in history. It has set several Guinness records such as the world’s biggest jackpot win of 13.21 million Pounds recorded in October 2015. The game made over 35 gamblers instant millionaires and their number increases about every 2.5 months – this is an average time between jackpot hits. Mega Moolah has four slot variants, all featuring 5 reels and absolutely the same chances of triggering a progressive jackpot – so, no matter which of the four games you are playing.

The reviewed Mega Moolah is a safari-themed slot with animal symbols plus standard playing cards from Ten to Ace. The number of paylines is adjusted from 1 to 25, with the maximum of 5 coins per each. There are three coin denominations to choose from: $0.01, $0.02 and $0.05. Given all these values, the betting range is $0.01–$6.25 per spin.

Bonus features

The slot has a wild (Lion) that substitutes for all pics, except for scatters, and doubles payouts when doing so. Five wilds pay the slot’s largest fixed jackpot of x15,000 ($3750 at max). A purple-colored monkey is a scatter, with five of them paying x100 a total bet ($625 at max). Three or more scatters activate 15 free spins with all wins trebled during the feature.

Progressive jackpot

Mega Moolah comprises four networked progressive jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major and Mega (listed in ascending order of size). Mini and Minor jackpots are hit several times a day, Major jackpot is hit about every two days (it seeds at $10,000), while the record-breaking Mega progressive is won an average of every 10 weeks. A bonus game where you can grab any of the four jackpots is activated at random and there are no requirements to the qualifying bet size; however the higher your bet is, the more chances are to unlock the bonus game. In the bonus round you will see a wheel of fortune divided into many colored sections where each color corresponds to one of the four progressive jackpots. The Mega jackpot is hit if the arrow near the wheel stops at the white section. The starting value for Mega is 1 million dollars, euros or Pounds, whichever is the currency of your play, so your potential winning cannot be less than 1M.
