Mega Moolah Review

Mega Moolah slot is synonymous with one thing: huge jackpots! Since being released by Microgaming in 2006, this five-reel, 25-line game has broken the record for the biggest online slots jackpot again and again. The current jackpot record stands at €18.92 million ($21.5m).

Obviously you can see that this game has no problem offering big payouts. But does Mega Moolah have any substance beyond its massive jackpots? You can find out by reading about its atmosphere, symbols, betting options, features, and more.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

This slot revolves around a cartoonish African wilderness setting. The graphics are nothing special by today’s standards, but they were top notch in the mid-2000s.

Symbols include a lion, elephant, water buffalo, giraffe, antelope, zebra, monkey (dressed as witch doctor), A, K, Q, and J. The lion acts as the wild symbol and substitutes for everything except the monkey (scatter) to form wins. The largest standard payout is at 1,800x your stake.

The 25 lines are fixed, but other betting options are adjustable. You can put 1-5 coins on each line and change your coin size from €0.01 to €0.05. These options create a total betting range from €0.25 to €6.25.

The biggest downside to Mega Moolah is its base return to player (RTP). This game originally offers 88.12% RTP when the progressive jackpot is first seeded at $1 million. The RTP steadily grows from here along with the jackpot. But unless you win the top prize, then you’ll be dealing with a slot that only offers 88.12% payback on average.

Mega Moolah Slot Special Features

The monkey triggers 15 free spins when he lands on the reels three or more times. All wins are multiplied 3x during this bonus. Free spins can be retriggered at any time with another three monkeys.

Of course, you could likely care less about the free spins based on the top jackpot discussed before. This game offers four different progressive jackpots that can be won through a randomly triggered bonus wheel. You have a better chance of earning the bonus with a larger bet. The four progressive jackpots include:

• Mega Jackpot – Seeded at $1 million.
• Major Jackpot – Seeded at $10,000.
• Minor Jackpot – Seeded at $100.
• Mini Jackpot – Seeded at $10.

Final Thoughts on Mega Moolah Jackpot Slot

Mega Moolah isn’t anything special in terms of graphics, theme, or animations. But it still remains a decent slot that has value beyond just the huge jackpots. The cartoonish African animals and large regular payouts (including 1,800x) have helped keep this game relevant.

Unfortunately, the Mega Moolah RTP is the biggest drawback. It only delivers 88.12% RTP before the progressive jackpots grow. But if you can put up with this measly payback in search of a life-changing payout, then you should still like playing Mega Moolah.
