Mega Moolah

Mega Moolah is a Microgaming video slot released in 2006, built on five reels and twenty-five paylines with an African safari theme. Its reputation comes almost entirely from the jackpot layer sitting on top of a fairly conventional base game: a bonus wheel that can appear on top of normal play and awards one of four progressive prizes, from a small tier up to the headline Mega jackpot. The jackpots are pooled, meaning contributions from players across many licensed casinos feed the same prize pool, which is how the top tier reaches the sums the game became known for. Because a share of each stake feeds those pools, the return of a progressive is split between ordinary paytable wins and a jackpot won extremely rarely; we state no single RTP figure here. The specifics of the wheel, the tiers and the paytable should be read in the game's own information panel, the authoritative source for the version an operator has deployed.
