Mega Moolah Details Page

Software (9)

The software is designed by Microgaming, which means a couple of things. One of them is that this is going to be a user-friendly experience, with enough bells an whistles to it and at the same time enough convenience for players to be able to take advantage of options that are available to make things more seamless. Also, there is the fact that this software carries with it the safety and security of a Microgaming product, and that is something that goes a long way in the industry.

Easy to Understand (8)

If you have never played a progressive game before, you have to come around to graping the concept of what that means and what is going to give you the best chance to win. The general consensus is that you are better off betting the maximum in this game, because when it comes time to being in position to win the jackpot, that is one of the barometers that determines your chances. If you are confused about anything, all you have to do is access the very comprehensive "Help" files that are included with Mega Moolah.

Graphics & Sounds (9)

The graphics reflect very nice artwork by the designers at Microgaming, and that are clean, clear and vivid. The graphic display on the interface is first-rate, and it shows you the paylines that have been enabled, in addition to the figures on the dynamic jackpots that are shown across the top. As far as the sounds are concerned, one of the great things about playing a game that is designed by this company is that you can custom-tailor your own atmosphere; that is, if you want to have the full complement of game sounds, win sounds and background sounds, you can. If you want to cut one or all of those out and play in silence, that is an option you can exercise and not lose anything in the game itself.

Theme and Concept (8)

Well, the theme of this game is one of an African safari. You've got many of the animals in the jungle - the lions, the monkeys, the elephants, the giraffes, etc. and when you go into the bonus game, the design is very consistent with this theme. It's a good concept for a progressive game, as you are unquestionably hunting for "big game."

Game Features (9)

There are a lot of game features that are both fun and very practical. One of them is the QuickSpin feature, which will speed up the way the reels spin, giving you the opportunity, if you so choose, to get in more play in a shorter period of time. The AutoPlay feature lets you play the maximum number of coins, for example, and place that same bet over and over again, allowing you to just sit back and let the Microgaming software do all the work. Of course, the big feature is that this is a progressive game, and you get to spin a wheel to win a jackpot. It's very exciting stuff.

Betting Options (8)

Mega Moolah has a minimum coin size of .01, with a maximum of 0.05. That's not an imposing bet spread, and with 25 paylines in the game, the maximum bet is 125 coins. Naturally, though, you are playing this game for the chance to win the progressive.

Jackpots (10)

This is a four-tiered progressive jackpot game, and that is very unusual. The Mega Progressive jackpot STARTS at a million dollars, which is a pretty good place to start. Then there is a dip, to the Major Progressive, starting at $10,000; the Minor Progressive, starting at $100, and the Mini Progressive, which starts at $10. Obviously, we all know that you are aiming at the top two progressives first. That is the reason you are playing this particular game. However, it is worth noting that getting five Wild Lion symbols in an enabled payline will bring a jackpot of 15,000 coins, which is more than the starting figure of the Major Progressive.
