 Not A Flash In The Pan

In terms of progressive jackpots Mega Moolah has been a phenomenal success for Microgaming, so  much so that it has sparked two spin off slots: Mega Moolah Summertime and Mega Moolah 5 Reel Drive.

The fact of the matter is that Mega Moolah is an astoundingly entertaining safari themed slot with cheery Big Five Animal symbols filling the 5x3 reels and a jaunty African-inspired theme song rolling on in the background as you spin to win on any, or all, of its 25 pay lines. Within a few rounds of playing you will find yourself belting out “Megaaa Moooolah” in tune to the jungle beat. However it has solid reputation as a millionaire maker that keeps hopeful pundits flooding the reels with spins.

Since its inception, including the most recent €2.2 million win on March 6th, Mega Moolah has made a grand total of 71 multi millionaires. Taking into  account the total jackpot value (in Euro) divided across the 71 registered mega winners shows Microgaming's flagship progressive paying out an average of €7.2 million per winner - an amazing result in anyones books!

If you consider that 2018 was a massive payout year for Mega Moolah with the seven Mega Jackpots totaling a mind bending €50 million then 2019 is shaping up to be another spectacular year with these two wins alone proving an average of €6.8 million compared to 2018’s €7.1 million.

 Record Breaker, History Maker

Mega Moolah holds the record for the biggest progressive jackpot win according the Guinness Book of Records. The win in question is the £13.2 million jackpot won by a member of the British military.

However, never one to settle, 2018 saw Mega Moolah subsequently smashed this record with an awe inspiring €18.9 million payout! While the previous record is still stands in the record books a representative of the Guinness Book of Records has been invited to verify the new world record!

 Clever Little Twist

If all of these amazing jackpots are getting you interested in trying your hand at Mega Moolah in hopes of taking home a jackpot win or two of your own there is a in interesting little twist to the way in which it encourages and rewards committed play.

To be clear all online slots, progressive or otherwise, are all based on the outcome of an Random Number Generator. There is no way to guarantee that you will win the main jackpot, however the more you play the higher your potential for a winning outcome.

That being said all games have certain percentile ratios guiding results and features. In Mega Moolah the helpful actually states that the larger your stake per spin the higher your odds are of triggering the Wheel of Fortune feature where you spin to win one of the progressive jackpot totals. As the saying goes “you have to be in it to win it”.
