Slot Review: Jungle Mega Moolah from Microgaming

Mega Moolah is one of Microgaming’s most popular progressive jackpots, and this new incarnation, Jungle Mega Moolah, has the same components that made the original so successful. High payouts in the base game, free spins, and 4 progressive jackpots up for grabs - definitely a recipe for success. Jungle Mega Moolah can be played at Microgaming casinos, online and on mobile.

Slot Specs

Jungle Mega Moolah is a 5-reel, 25-pay line progressive jackpot slot with a jungle theme. Bets range from $.25 to $6.25 per spin and the game has a low RTP of 88.12 %, but that RTP also includes 5.30% as jackpot contribution.

Symbols include 10-A royals, frogs, lemurs, leopards, bears, and the game’s logo. There is also a wild that pays out a ferocious 600x the bet for 5 of a kind.

Free Spins

In most games, the Free Spins round is where the action is, and while there are some nice features in this round, it’s second to the progressive jackpot. Still, players who land 3 or more scatters will be awarded 15 free spins. Scatters also come with multipliers of 2x, 3x, 20x, and even 100x the bet, depending on how many are in view. During the free spins, the value of all wins is multiplied by 3x. There’s only one disappointing thing about this round, and that’s that the jackpot can’t be hit from it.

Jackpot Wheel

The Jackpot Wheel can be randomly activated on any base game spin. When this happens, players get to spin a 20-part wheel and hope that the ticker will land on 1 of 4 parts: the Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega jackpot. All jackpots are progressive, which means that even the smaller ones can get quite high.

Bottom Line

Jungle Mega Moolah is a near replica of Microgaming’s original, which can be both good and bad. Since Mega Moolah has been an international fan favorite for over a decade, offering a similar slot with a different theme and slightly upgraded resolution is a good thing. On the other hand, Microgaming gets no points for originality. Still, any player who wants to vie for any of the progressive jackpots will enjoy taking a chance on Jungle Mega Moolah.
