A thrilling new addition is coming soon to one of the longest-running online casino progressive jackpots. This fresh release is based on the very game that started the series in 2006, the Mega Moolah slot, giving it a Megaways twist. While the glory days of Megaways are over, it’s the first 117,649-ways Mega Moolah slot ever. It’ll hit Microgaming/Game Global-supplied casinos on the 18th of December. Let's delve into its main features.
Gameplay
The game has been entrusted to the same North American studio called Gameburger, which brought us the entire series, such as 9 Pots of Gold, Break da Bank Again, Hyper Strike, and Playboy Fortunes. Mega Moolah Megaways retains the classic gameplay by adding an Extra Reel and Microgaming’s signature Rolling Reels feature. The developers have stayed true to the original design language and symbols, so it shouldn’t feel alien to the fans.
Bonus
The progressive jackpot, which we’ll get to in a moment, is not the only way to hit big wins in this game. Landing four Scatter symbols that spell out GOLD across the reels awards 12 Free Spins. With additional Scatters, luckier players can secure an extra 5 spins. There’s not much to the bonus other than the fact that during the bonus, 3 or 4 Scatters appearing on the Extra Reel trigger 5 or 10 additional free spins, respectively.
Progressive Wheel Feature
Just like in the good old Mega Moolah, the highly anticipated feature is randomly triggered by the RNG (Random Number Generator). However, the bigger the bet, the more likely it is to activate. The bonus feature presents a colourful wheel of fortune, where each sector corresponds to Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega jackpots. One of them is guaranteed to land, but which one it’ll be? The Mega jackpot seeds at €2 million and currently stands at just over €10 million. The last time it was won was in Canada on the 17th of June 2023. The lucky player won CAD 8,312,081.88 playing Mega Vault Millionaire at Quatro Casino.

Final thoughts
The latest Mega Moolah release of 2023 appears to be as exciting as the Book of Mega Moolah released in September. While jackpot slots are known for their selective wins, the lucky few might hit a rain of fortune. However, due to the combination of two renowned brands or trademarks in iGaming, this release will surely attract and hopefully nostalgically surprise quite a few players.
The release of Mega Moolah Megaways this December will follow Gameburger’s newest leprechaun episode called Mining Pots of Gold slot and, to all jackpot fans out there, a Games Global exclusive: Book of Goddess Mega Moolah! It will be released by the end of next month, on the 29th of November, which you can learn more about in our next post.
