The Basics

What is Mega Moolah?

Mega Moolah is the world's best-known progressive jackpot network. It launched in 2006 as a single African-safari slot from Microgaming, and it became famous for one reason: its Mega jackpot regularly climbs past ten million and reseeds at roughly $1,000,000 every time it drops. In 2018 and again in 2021 it paid out record-breaking sums that put it in the Guinness World Records.

Today "Mega Moolah" is not one game but a whole network. There are 30 Mega Moolah titles built by studios under Games Global (the company Microgaming spun its games business into), from the original safari slot to vampire, Norse, steampunk and even a roulette table. Every one of them feeds and can pay the same four shared jackpots. Whatever you spin, you are playing for the identical Mega.

Mega Moolah is the direct predecessor of WowPot, the newer Games Global network. If you want to see how the two compare, we break it down in WowPot vs Mega Moolah.

The Four Jackpots

How the jackpot works

Every Mega Moolah game shares one prize structure with four tiers. The jackpot is triggered at random on any paid spin, then a bonus wheel decides which of the four you win. A small slice of every bet across the entire network (5.30% on the slots) funds the pool, which is why the Mega grows so fast.

Important: the Mega is awarded completely at random. A larger displayed jackpot is not "closer" to dropping and does not improve your odds on any single spin. See how to win Mega Moolah for an honest look at the maths.

The Full Line-up

All 30 Mega Moolah games

Every Mega Moolah title, with the studio, theme and RTP for each. Base RTP is the game's own return; Total RTP adds the jackpot contribution (the part of your return that is paid back through the shared progressive). All games share the same Mega, so a higher RTP only improves your day-to-day base-game return, not your shot at the jackpot.

GameStudioThemeBase RTPTotal RTP

Best RTP on the network: the original Mega Moolah and the Aurum Signature titles (Joker, Jungle, Napoleon, Pots O' Riches, Witch's Moon, Geluksvogel and Gold Factory Jackpots) top the slots at 93.42% total. Roulette Mega Moolah is the outlier at 93.61% on straight-up bets, as a table game. See the full breakdown on the Mega Moolah games hub.

FAQ

Mega Moolah FAQ

What is Mega Moolah?

Mega Moolah is a progressive jackpot network launched by Microgaming in 2006 and now run by Games Global. There are 30 Mega Moolah games; all of them share the same four jackpots (Mini, Minor, Major and the Mega, which reseeds from about $1,000,000). It is the most famous online jackpot in the world and a multiple Guinness World Record holder.

How many Mega Moolah games are there?

There are 30 Mega Moolah titles in our line-up, from the original 2006 safari slot to the newest catalogue additions. They include rebuilt classics like Immortal Romance and Thunderstruck II, the record-setting Absolootly Mad, the seven high-RTP Aurum Signature themes, Book-of and Megaways editions, the 4Tune Reels variants, and the network's one table game, Roulette Mega Moolah. Every one shares the same four jackpots. See the full list with verified RTP on our all Mega Moolah games page.

Which Mega Moolah game has the best RTP?

Among the slots, the original Mega Moolah and the Aurum Signature titles have the highest RTP at 93.42% total (88.12% base plus the 5.30% jackpot contribution). Because the jackpot pool is shared and identical across all games, a higher RTP only improves your base-game return, not your odds of the Mega.

What is the cheapest way to play Mega Moolah?

The Casino Rewards brand Zodiac Casino offers 80 free spins on Mega Moolah for a $1 first deposit, which is the lowest-cost way to take a shot at the Mega. Casino Classic runs a similar $1 offer. See our 80 free spins for $1 guide.

Is Mega Moolah the same as WowPot?

No. They are two separate Games Global jackpot networks with separate prize pools. Mega Moolah launched in 2006 and WowPot in 2020 as its successor. The mechanics are very similar, but each has its own Mega jackpot. See WowPot vs Mega Moolah for the full comparison.
