Mega Moolah from Microgaming is quite possibly one of the best known online slot machines around, largely because of the gigantic progressive jackpots with which it’s associated.  Even if weren’t for the huge potential winnings though, this is an entertaining animal-themed game.

When you first start up Mega Moolah it’s pretty clear that this five reel and twenty five payline game is set deep in the jungle; the backdrop is verdant greenery and apart from the standard 10, J, Q, K and A, the special symbols are all jungle-related.  So we have an ibis, a zebra, a giraffe, a buffalo, an elephant and a lion.  Appropriately that lion is the wild and a red-headed creature is the scatter symbol.

Bonus Features

Wild Lion

This is a pretty minor bonus reward but if you make a winning combination which includes the wild lion then your win will be doubled – easy money!

Free Spins

This bonus game is the real money maker and you will trigger it by landing three, four or five scatter symbols anywhere on the reels in standard gameplay.  You will now be awarded a generous fifteen free spins and any wins landed during this period will be tripled.  Not too shabby!

Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpots

This slot attracts players as much for the famous progressive jackpot wins as for the standard gameplay and like many jackpots of this nature it’s triggered randomly.  The higher your stakes the greater the chance of a win and you can see the four different jackpot totals – Mini, Minor, Major and Mega – ticking up as you play the game.

If you are lucky enough to have a go at the jackpot game you will be given the chance to spin a coloured wheel and your aim is of course to land the Mega jackpot by landing on the one white segment on the wheel.  Good luck for the huge win!

Verdict

This is an entertaining game for both the standard gameplay and for the progressive jackpot and well worth a few minutes of your time. It’s also worth noting that the Mega jackpot never drops below 1,000,000 coins so a fortune is only a spin away.
