Mega Moolah Theme
Mega Moolah is set in the African savannah and the wild animals on the reels have a cartoon-style design. The lions and monkeys offer chances to win big in every round of the game.
The colorful safari theme creates an engaging gameplay experience for players.
Bonus Features
The bonus features are among the highlights of the game. The Wild and Scatter symbols, as well as the free spins feature all add great winning opportunities.
The Lion symbol acts as a Wild. It substitutes for other symbols to form the highest paying winning combinations, and doubles your payout whenever it contributes to a winning combination. The Monkey is the Scatter symbol. Landing three or more monkey scatter symbols anywhere on the reels triggers 15 free spins. During the free spins round a 3x multiplier will also be activated, meaning that any winnings will automatically be tripled.
Graphics and Sound
Even though Mega Moolah doesn’t have high-definition graphics, its vintage design remains incredibly popular. Offering a smooth and fun gaming experience, the sound effects and upbeat African-inspired soundtrack add to the overall excitement of the game.
Mobile Compatibility
The Mega Moolah game has always been adapted to the latest technologies and is compatible with Windows and Mac computers, as well as mobile devices.
Depending which online casino you choose, you may need to download an app. However, the video slot is multi-platform, so it can be played directly through a web browser. This means that the game is suitable for all devices, including smartphones and tablets.
Progressive Jackpot Wheel
The most distinctive feature of the Mega Moolah slot is its progressive jackpot wheel with four different jackpots. The twenty segments of the wheel display the Mini, Minor, Major and MEGA jackpots.
Jackpots Up For Grabs

MEGA: the progressive jackpot seeds at €2 million. On average, the jackpot is won every two or three months with payouts of approx. €7.5 million. |

MAJOR: the progressive jackpot seeds at €10,000. Hit between one and ten times a week, the average Major jackpot is €25,500. |

MINI: the progressive jackpot seeds at €10. These prizes are awarded more than once a minute, which shows just how popular the Mega Moolah slot is. |
For every bet made by players, a contribution of 8.8% goes towards the 4 progressive jackpots of the bonus wheel. When one of the jackpots is won, its value is immediately reset to the seed amount.
The 20 bonus wheel segments are divided into 10 Mini segments, 6 Minor segments, 3 Major segments and 1 MEGA segment.

Players will discover plenty of symbols on the African safari-themed Mega Moolah slot. Certain symbols have a higher value than others, and some can trigger bonus features.
Lower-paying symbols include the playing card symbols: 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. Their payout values differ according to the number of symbols appearing on the paylines.
The higher-paying symbols are represented by animals, including the lion, monkey, elephant and buffalo.
