Mega Jackpots
Home to the world-famous Mega Moolah series, the Isle of Man-based developer, Microgaming, houses a range of progressive jackpot slots. Mega Moolah’s legacy started soon after online gambling became very popular and although the largest payout does not compare to land-based slot jackpot records, many gamblers walked away as mega-millionaires by spinning on this series.
Back in September 2018, Mega Moolah hit a massive milestone and made history with an eye-popping payout worth €18.9 million. This prize held the first position for nearly 3 years until another punter became an instant multi-millionaire. While spinning on the Absolootly Mad Mega Moolah slot in April 2021, the player struck gold and walked away with a stunning €19.4 million jackpot prize.
The original five-reel, 25 payline progressive slot boasts a top 5 winners list starting with jackpots from €11 million and the biggest jackpot in the four-tier prize pot seeds at €1 million. In 2020, two lucky winners walked away with prizes in excess of €13 million. Other slots included in the progressive Mega Moolah network include Immortal Romance Mega Moolah, Juicy Joker Mega Moolah, and Mega Moolah Goddess, to mention a few.
