Rules of the Game

The iconic Mega Moolah video slot is played on 5 reels with 25 paylines. During real-money gameplay, the progressive jackpot bonus wheel can trigger randomly. It provides access to the four Mini, Minor, Major and MEGA jackpot levels.
Mega Moolah Slot Machine Game Rules

The classic game is generally available with stakes ranging from €0.25 to €6.25 per spin, depending on the operator and the version available. The jackpot wheel can trigger with the minimum stake as well as with a higher bet.

A higher stake can increase the probability of triggering the jackpot bonus wheel on a given spin. However, it also directly increases the cost of each spin and does not guarantee either the wheel or a jackpot win.

The currency and monetary values displayed depend on the casino and the currency selected for the player account.

Discover the Slot Machine

Players discovering Mega Moolah for the first time can start with a stake that suits their budget. Using a casino bonus does not reduce the risk of losing and may add wagering requirements or other restrictions.

Some welcome bonus offers can provide additional bonus credits. Before using bonus funds on Mega Moolah, always check whether the game is eligible and review the wagering requirements, maximum bet restrictions and withdrawal rules.

Mega Moolah Paylines

Mega Moolah uses 25 paylines. On current versions of the classic game, all 25 paylines are active and players mainly adjust the total amount wagered per spin.

The game interface can vary depending on the casino and device. Additional features such as Auto Play may not be available with every operator or in every jurisdiction.

Before starting a spin, always check the total stake displayed by the game.

Base Game and Bonus Wheel

The Mega Moolah online slot consists of a base game and a progressive jackpot feature.

In the base game, the Monkey acts as the Scatter symbol. Landing at least 3 Scatter symbols triggers 15 free spins. Winnings during the free spins feature are multiplied by 3.

The progressive jackpot wheel can trigger randomly during the base game. When it does, one of the four progressive jackpot levels is awarded.

Bonus Wheel Jackpots

  • Mini: the jackpot starts at €10.
  • Minor: the jackpot starts at €100.
  • Major: the jackpot starts at €10,000.
  • MEGA: the euro-denominated jackpot starts at €2 million.

A portion of wagers made across the network contributes to the progressive jackpots. When one of the jackpots is won, its value returns to its seed amount before beginning to grow again.

Responsible Gaming

Mega Moolah remains entirely a game of chance. A higher stake can increase the probability of triggering the jackpot bonus wheel on a given spin, while playing more spins naturally creates more opportunities for the feature to appear. Both choices, however, also increase the amount of money wagered and never guarantee a jackpot.

The jackpot feature can also trigger with the minimum stake. There is therefore no requirement to play at the maximum stake to remain eligible for the progressive jackpots.

Never gamble with money needed for essential expenses. Set a budget before playing, do not chase losses by increasing your stake or playing for longer, and stop when you reach your limit.
