Mega Moolah is pretty much an industry legend by now, not least of all because a slots player from Finland won an incredible $5.5 million playing this game in April of 2008. How much did he drop into it? Just 50 cents. That's a good luck story that's not going away any time soon.
So, as you've probably worked out, Mega Moolah is a progressive slot, which means that the jackpot grows with every spin that is played on it. What makes Mega Moolah unique is that the Mega jackpot starts at a cool $1 million.
You read that correctly. One. Million. Dollars (cue Dr Evil laugh).
Let's talk about the game itself. This is a five reel slot game that pays out on 25 lines. Bizarrely, it's a penny slot: it takes coin sizes from $0.01 to $0.05. Of course, the max limit is 125 coins, so it's still possible to ramp things up a bit.
The theme for this game is an African safari. When you start playing, you'll be treated to a short intro movie that sets the scene deep in the jungle.
Most of the images on the reels are various different African animals. These include lions, elephants, giraffes, buck and of course some monkeys. As is typical with this kind of game, there's a selection of high cards thrown into the mix as well.
The lion symbol is wild, and can substitute for anything except the scatter symbol. Speaking of scatters, in this game the monkey serves that purpose, and two monkeys nets you win. Three scatters or higher gets you 15 free spins of the reels where everything you win is automatically trebled.
There is the bonus game which is like a Wheel of Fortune but it's triggered at random. My advice would be to bet high if you get in, because the bonus game can lead straight to a jackpot win.
