Mega Moolah Slot Background
Mega Moolah is the first in a long series of progressive jackpot slots that also includes luminaries such as Atlantean Treasures and 9 Mad Hats (the latter being released under the Triple Edge Studios banner). However, out of all of them, Mega Moolah is still the most well-known and renowned, not only for the reasons discussed above but also due to its pastel-coloured safari-themed audio-visual presentation, simple easy-to-master gameplay, and a couple of exciting bonus features that makes Mega Moolah an iconic slot in every sense of the word.
Mega Moolah Slot Game Design
Mega Moolah features a 5-reel, 3-row game grid with 25 paylines and a maximum potential payout of 1,800x the stake not counting the potential progressive jackpot payouts. The slot is packed with a wide assortment of features and bonuses - including four progressive jackpots and a Free Spins feature - guaranteed to have you roaring like a lion and help transform the slot into one full of thrills and excitement.
The slot’s setting is the great African outdoors; the plains are covered in a thin mist that obscures most of the background apart from a couple of acacia trees, some grass on the ground, and a foliage of leaves that covers the top-center of the screen. Dominating the screen is the game grid; the reels are a pastel beige color; the symbols are a mixture of royal playing cards and stylized animal portraits. Lozenges showing the four progressive jackpot amounts are laid out side by side on top of the game grid. Above this is the slot’s game logo. Music (dominated by tribal drum beats) and ambient sound effects (comprising animal and bird noises) also effectively convey the atmosphere of being on an African safari.

Mega Moolah Slot Summary
In Mega Moolah, Microgaming created one of the most popular and beloved online slots of all time. Despite being released back in 2006, the slot has aged gracefully both in terms of its audio-visual presentation, simplicity of its gameplay (which means it’s easy to pick up and play with no complicated mechanics to get to grips with), and bonus features. Truly one for the ages. If you enjoyed the inclusion of animals in this title, then you could maybe enjoy Return of Kong Megaways which features a primate front and centre in it's gameplay.
