Online gambling really took off in the 1990’s thanks to the introduction of the internet into people’s homes and of course, the invention of the video slot and the first-ever online casino that quickly followed. What these landmark events did was to bring gambling to the masses and introduce new markets to new ways of playing.
Now there are hundreds of online casinos and slots and these are more sophisticated than ever before. More games have jackpots attached to them and the king of all online jackpot slots is Microgaming’s Mega Moolah. If ever a slot was going to make history, it was going to be this 5-reel jungle themed game that carries some of the biggest jackpots ever seen in a slot. It’s one of the most famous jackpot games around thanks to jackpots that regularly run into the millions.
The demand for new games shows no sign of slowing down as the huge number of online casinos, continue to focus on slots. Many games developers behind these games have become household names in the industry such as Netent and Microgaming. It’s the latter that takes the plaudits for Mega Moolah. Microgaming actually developed the world’s first online casino software back in 1994. They added to this by also inventing the first mobile casino software in 2004.
Microgaming continue to be leaders in the industry and their products and games are used by major online casinos and gambling brands. Some of their titles you may have played include Avalon, Game Of Thrones and Jurassic Park. In fact, this creative outlet is still frequently releasing new titles.
If you like animals then Mega Moolah is bursting with them and it’s all presented in a colourful cartoon-style game, where the emphasis is on fun. There are 25 pay lines and the scatter symbol that initiates the free spin bonus round is the Monkey.
Three or more are needed to do this and they trigger 15 free spins and all wins during the bonus are tripled. There is also a retrigger of the bonus if you hit the required amount of scatter symbols during the bonus round The Lion acts as a wild to help create winning symbol combinations. Apart from the Lion and Monkey there are the standard 10, J, Q, K and A along with a Zebra, Giraffe, Buffalo and Elephant. The slot holds the record for the biggest payout ever from an online slot thanks to its jackpot feature. British soldier Jon Heywood won £13.2 million from one spin.
Players can win one of 4 Progressive Jackpots in the randomly activated wheel-spinning feature. There is a Mini, Minor, Major and Mega jackpot that is over £1 million and this put the game into the record books.
This is a fun game to play for all budgets as you can stake low and play fewer lines than the maximum and the possibility of becoming a millionaire is only a spin away.
