How to Play: The Rules
Mega Moolah isn’t an overly complicated slot. In fact, it comes as close to a prototypical online slot as they get.
Mega Moolah is the most popular game by Microgaming – one of the earliest software studios that is widely recognized as a pioneer of the industry and an undisputed leader on the iGaming market. As such, Mega Moolah features many of the rules that have become a golden standard in slot play.
The game allows you to adjust the number and denomination of the coins you bet, as well as to select on how many pay-lines to place a wager.
There is a useful “auto-play” feature, (though you have to access that from the advanced options) which allows you to set up a number of spins and even a ‘stop’ trigger – this would allow you to relax with a movie while the game runs through the spins in the background.
Amid the friendly African animals, you will find wild multipliers and scatters which award you free spins. However, the main highlight is, without the shadow of a doubt, the infamous Mega Moolah Jackpot Wheel, which can win you the grand prize.
Mega Moolah Special Symbols
- The Wise Monkey: A scatter symbol. Scatters offer small bonus payouts, and they do not have to land on winning pay-lines in order to trigger the Mega Moolah free spins bonus.
- The Lion: is a multiplier wild – so it can represent any of the 25 game symbols to help make a winning combination on 1 of the active pay-lines, and it will also DOUBLE the payout of the win.
