Jungle Mega Moolah
Fans of the very first Mega Moolah game will be delighted to see that Microgaming have gone back to their original roots with a game focused on the animal kingdom, which is actually pretty strange considering most titles in the Mega Moolah series vary widely with regards to their slot theme.
This 5-reel, 25 payline slot works very similarly to the original slot, offering players two main features, 2x multiplier wilds that sees payouts doubled, and a free spins feature that can see players get up to 30 free spins with a 3x multiplier at the end.
Naturally, this slot comes bundled with the iconic Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot that can see players win one of four progressive jackpots that climb into the millions.
Design
Jungle Mega Moolah is certainly a visual upgrade on the original Mega Moolah, however, don't expect too much, Microgaming has retained a degree of simplicity, and the overall presentation of this new online slot probably won't knock your socks off.
Behind the reels is you'll see a lush rainforest filled with plants and trees, whilst on the reels themselves, you'll spot some of the animal kingdom's most imposing beasts.
Low-paying symbols are your standard royal deck - 10, J, Q, K, A, whilst high-paying symbols include a frog, parrot, sloth, leopard, grizzly bear and monkey (which also acts as the game's scatter symbol). There's also a special Jungle Mega Moolah wild symbol.
Gameplay
Navigating Jungle Megah Moolah is pretty straight forward. The spin button can be found on the right-hand side of the game reels, there's a small + button above it that allows players to set 10, 25 or 50 autoplay spins and change the speed of their spins to turbo mode.
Below the spin button is another button with coins on, this allows players to change their stake size from between 0.25 per spin and 6.25 per spin.
On the far left-hand side of the screen is hamburger menu that when opened up allows players to change their game settings, view the paytable and information regarding the game as a whole.
Win Potential
For what it is, we're genuinely disappointed with the win potential Jungle Megah Moolah offers. Players can only win a maximum of 1,955x their total stake which is pretty pitiful for a modern-day slot game released in 2020. The RTP isn't terrible for a progressive jackpot slot, sitting at 93.42%.
The game earns most of its points in the win potential department for playing host to the iconic Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot. If it wasn't for that then this slot would have been quite a significant disappointment.
Our Verdict
If you're a fan of the original Mega Moolah games then there's absolutely no doubt in our mind that you'll enjoy this slot. The game is packaged like an old-school game that is pure fun.
