Last month we announced that the largest progressive jackpot available online was Microgaming’s Mega Moolah. The jackpot has finally been won for a jaw-dropping amount of €5,375,695.08 (which is equal to $7,561,766) – however what is even more staggering is that the lucky player won it on their mobile phone!
The player has been named as ‘Mark A’ and the jackpot win occured on 9th April at Royal Vegas Casino, which is one of Microgaming’s longest establshed and most popular online casinos. In the press release a spokesperson for Royal Vegas Casino stated that Mark A had only been playing on the site for 7 days prior to landing the life-changing sum of money.
It was also stated that the player will receive a full payout, rather than a percentage every month, and the fact that the jackpot was won on a mobile phone highlights the popularity of casino games on mobile in these modern times. Congratulations Mark A!
How To Play Mega Moolah
Now you have read about the incredible sums of money that are being won you want to try Mega Moolah for yourself, right? We already have a detailed Mega Moolah review but below you can learn more about this potentially life-changing slot machine.
The Mega Moolah slot machine is available at all online casinos using Microgaming software (click here for a list) and it contains 5 reels and 25 paylines. It has an African Wildlife theme, therefore symbols you will be faced with include Elephant’s, Lions’, Hyena’s, Antelope’s, Giraffe’s and more.
The slots Wild symbol is the Lion and this can substitute for all other symbols except for the Scatter symbol. The Scatter symbol is the Monkey, and this is required to activate a feature in the game, more on that below.
There is a free spins feature which is triggered by landing three or more Scatter (Monkey) symbols anywhere on the reels. This sees players rewarded with a total of 15 free spins with all winnings being tripled – very nice!
Of course, the best feature in Mega Moolah is the Mega Jackpot. This is actually triggered at random, therefore no tricky combination of symbols is required. When it activates players are taken to a new screen where they are presented with the Mega Moolah Jackpot Wheel that offers four different jackpots, each getting progressively larger than the previous one, and these are titled Mini, Minor, Major and Mega. The Mini is won very frequently and is usually worth less than €100, the Minor is also usually won daily and is worth around €750, the Major is usually won every few days for around €10,000 while the Mega averages a win every 18 weeks for an average of €2 million.
