The original Mega Moolah slot, released by Microgaming back in 2006 is one of the most famous online slots for one reason, and one reason only… Its massive progressive jackpot.
Every single online slot in the Mega Moolah series shares a networked progressive jackpot, the Mega Moolah Jackpot. When triggered a jackpot wheel will begin spinning and will stop on one of four progressive jackpot prizes depending on what colour segment the wheel stops on.
These segments are the Mini, Minor, Major and Mega… Obviously, the Mega Jackpot is the one players will want to land as this is the one that pays out millions and millions of pounds.
The eye-watering Mega Jackpot has created an entire cohort of brand new millionaires over the years, with the slot paying out on average £6,636,680 to each and every lucky winner.
If that wasn’t quite enough, Mega Moolah has twice held the Guinness World Record® for the highest jackpot payout in online slot history, first when British punter John Heywood won £13,213,838.68 and once again when an anonymous European player won €18,915,872.81.
For a long time most fans of this online slot series have been limited to playing one of two games, the classic Safari themed Mega Moolah or Egyptian themed slot Mega Moolah Goddess, released in 2009.
Considering this networked progressive jackpot slot has almost paid out a billion euros in prizes over the years, the demand for more has unsurprisingly arisen, as a result, Microgaming released two new Mega Moolah titles in 2020, Atlantean Treasure and Absolootly Mad. Fast-forward to 2021, there are now over 9 jackpot slots all with different themes but containing the outstanding Mega Moolah jackpot.
Not only are these online slots renowned for their ability to make brand new millionaires on an almost monthly basis, but they’re also known for their lucrative bonus features that make these games worth playing even if you don’t get your hands on one of the game’s four jackpots.
