The Mega Progressive of Mega Moolah is the most popular of all progressive jackpots. It pays out an average of $5 million every 9 weeks or so. That makes it about $30 a year. The progressive jackpot slot is live at all Microgaming online casinos like Blackjack Ballroom, Casino Kingdom and Golden Reef. All these belong to the Casino Rewards group, which has recorded the maximum hits on Mega Moolah. This article will acquaint you with the five biggest hits and possibly entice you to take up this game.
The last hit has been the biggest won. On 28 September 2018, an unnamed player won €18,915,721 from Grand Mondial online casino, which is a brand of the Casino Rewards group. Since the winner wanted to remain anonymous, very few details are available. The Grand Mondial player had accessed Mega Moolah from an Android mobile device and had placed about 50 spins of 75 cents when he hit the jackpot.
Next in line is a hit of £13,212,882 on 6 October 2015. Microgaming pays out the jackpot amount in the currency of wagering. This hit was recorded at Betway online casino by a player from United Kingdom named Jon Heywood. Jon is serving as a soldier with a previous tour of duty in Afghanistan. He won the huge jackpot on the minimum allowable stake of 25 pence a spin.
Not far behind, was the hit by a player named Marcus Goodwin for $11,633,898 on 7 November 2016. Marcus was playing at Yako Casino, which was then a relatively new online casino running on the EveryMatrix platform. Mega Moolah is reset at 1 million credits but only if the jackpot is hit in British pounds. Otherwise the hit amount is converted to British pounds and the jackpot resets at a higher level.
On 30 August 2016, it is back to a Casino Rewards brand named Zodiac Casino. The winner has been identified as DP and the amount won was $11,609,942. The player won from a $1.50 bet on a mobile device. Microgaming pays out the full multi-million amount as a lump sum and not as an annuity.
The fifth largest win as of now was on 8 April 2016. The player was not named but the online casino was Spin Palace. Microgaming confirmed that the hit was on a mobile device. There are four online slots linked to the Mega Moolah network. These are Mega Moolah, Isis, Summertime and 5 Reel Drive.
