Mega Moolah is a 5 reel, 25 pay-line, and 125 coin slot machine. It has a wild, multiplier symbol, a scatter symbol, a Free Spins bonus game and a randomly activated Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot bonus game. It has only 0.05 coin size. It is only accessible to Real players.

Wild symbol: The Lion is the wild symbol that substitutes for other symbols to complete winning combinations, except for the Monkey symbol or to activate the Free Spins bonus game. It also doubles the payout of any combination it completes.

Scatter symbol: The Monkey is the scatter symbol that can be scattered anywhere on the the five reels and still complete a winning combination, as long as at least two or more of this symbol appear. The winnings are calculated by multiplying the Monkey symbol combination, as per the payout schedule, by the total number of coins bet.

Free Spins Bonus Game: Three or more Monkey symbols activate the Free Spins bonus game, giving you 15 free spins. All regular wins get tripled during the bonus game.

Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot Bonus Game: One can win one of 4 guaranteed Progressive Jackpots in this bonus game randomly activated at any time. When a jackpot is won while playing the bonus game, the payout will depend on the accumulated value since the jackpot was last reset. The Mega Moolah Progressive Jackpot bonus game consists of a wheel which is divided into 4 coloured segments, each labeled with a different animal footprint symbol. Depending on where the wheel stops, one of the following Progressive Jackpots can be won:

• Mega jackpot in the segment coloured White with Footprint symbol Lion
• Major jackpot in the segment coloured Yellow with Footprint symbol Elephant
• Minor jackpot in the segment coloured Orange with Footprint symbol Giraffe
• Mini jackpot in the segment coloured Red with Footprint symbol Zebra

Mega Moolah, Microgaming’s star jackpot, has produced many lucky winners. Here are the stories of some of them.

Mr. Klaus E. from Turku, Finland, became an instant millionaire on Apri 22, 2008, when he placed a $0.50 bet on the Mega-Moolah at the Blackjack Ballroom Online Casino and walked away with whopping $5.5 million! Microgaming reports that the man was stunned and shocked, "My hands were shaking", said Klaus. He now wants to do quite a few things with this huge win, like paying off his apartment and going on a vacation.

Roger Raatgever, CEO, Microgaming, says, "Those that say thirteen is an unlucky number have only to take one look at Klaus E. who not only becomes the Microgaming Progressive Jackpot's thirteenth millionaire, but by far and away the biggest jackpot winner we've ever had. Mega-Moolah has been tantalising players for months now and its finally delivered on a massive scale - with $5,556,753.68 being one of the largest payouts this industry has ever seen."

In November 2007, Mr R.V, as he is known by, was playing the Mega Moolah at the Piggs Peak Casino, a relatively unknown casino in South Africa, just to relax himself a bit. To his utter amazement, he hit the largest online progressive jackpot in the country and won R4 308 741.01! Now, Mega Moolah is one the most popular jackpots around the world, with many hands trying a shot at it. So Mr. R.V, an IT technician by profession, who wants to remain anonymous, was obviously totally speechless by his achievement. At an interview, he was quoted as saying that when he got a call from the casino confirming his win, he still didn’t believe it was true, and that there had been some kind of mistake.

Wendy Graaf, Group Marketing Manager of Piggs Peak Casino, said: “R.V. is such a nice guy! We are obviously over the moon that we could create yet another instant millionaire. But it warms my heart that we could hand over this large amount of money to someone clearly so deserving of it.”

To top it, he only played a couple of hundred rand on the Mega Moolah, before becoming an instant millionaire. Now if that isn’t just great, what is!
