Mega Moolah
What Is
Mega Moolah?
Mega Moolah is a 5-reel, 25-payline progressive jackpot pokie developed by Microgaming and released in 2006. Set on the African savanna, the game features lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo and monkeys across lush, colourful reels — with a cartoon aesthetic that belies the life-changing prize pool hiding beneath.
What sets Mega Moolah apart from every other pokie is its networked progressive jackpot system. Every real money spin across every Microgaming casino globally — including All Slots Casino NZ — contributes a small percentage to the jackpot pool. This means the prize grows 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be won by any player on any spin, regardless of bet size.
The Mega Jackpot is guaranteed never to fall below NZ$1,000,000 — it resets to at least seven figures after every win. The game has triggered over 100 jackpot wins globally since launch, with the largest single payout exceeding NZ$25 million. For New Zealand players, Mega Moolah represents the most realistic path to a seven-figure windfall from a single pokie session.
Complete Technical Details
The 4 Progressive Jackpots
Mega Moolah runs four simultaneous jackpots. The wheel is triggered randomly — and can be won on any spin at any bet level.
The Major jackpot triggers far more frequently than the Mega and delivers a five-figure payout. It resets to NZ$10,000 after each win. While not life-changing on its own, it can represent months of salary for Kiwi players and often triggers multiple times per week across the network.
The Minor jackpot triggers frequently — often daily across the network. For NZ players on smaller bankrolls, a Minor win of NZ$100–500 is a very meaningful bonus on top of the base game entertainment. It triggers via the wheel just like all other jackpots.
The Mini jackpot is the most frequent trigger on the wheel and provides a small but instant cash boost. While modest in size, it’s still a jackpot prize — and it can happen on your very first spin of a session. A nice surprise when it lands mid-game.
The Jackpot Wheel
Mechanic Explained
The jackpot wheel can be triggered on any spin. It is activated randomly by a separate RNG — completely independent of the base game result. You do not need to land any specific combination to trigger it. The wheel can fire on a losing spin, a small winning spin, or even while free spins are active.
When triggered, the jackpot wheel appears as a large spinning wheel divided into coloured segments — golden for Mega, yellow for Major, silver for Minor and bronze for Mini. The wheel spins and slows to a stop, revealing which jackpot has been won. The prize is then added to your balance immediately.
Lion Wild — ×2 Multiplier
The Lion is the Wild symbol — it substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter. When Lion completes a winning combination it doubles the payout (×2 multiplier). Two Wilds in a winning line apply a ×4 multiplier. Five Lions on a payline pays the top base game prize.
Monkey Scatter — 15 Free Spins
Land 3 or more Monkey Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger 15 free spins. All free spin wins are tripled (×3 multiplier applied automatically). The free spins round can retrigger — additional Monkey scatters during the bonus add 15 more spins each time.
Elephant — Premium Symbol
The Elephant is the highest-paying non-Wild symbol: 5 Elephants on a payline pay ×15,000 the line bet. Followed by the Giraffe, Cape Buffalo, Zebra and then A-K-Q-J-10 card royals as the lower-value symbols.
Symbols & Payouts
Payouts shown as multiplier of line bet. On NZ$0.25 total bet (NZ$0.01/line), values scale accordingly.

Mega Moolah FAQ — NZ Players
🦁 Can New Zealand players win the Mega Moolah jackpot?
Yes — New Zealand players are fully eligible to win any of the four Mega Moolah jackpots, including the Mega Jackpot. All real money spins of NZ$0.25 or more at All Slots Casino contribute to and qualify for the jackpot wheel. The jackpot wheel does not discriminate by country, bet size (above minimum) or session length — it fires randomly and any qualifying spin can trigger it.
💰 What is the current Mega Moolah jackpot in NZD?
The live jackpot amount fluctuates constantly as players worldwide contribute to the pool with every spin. At the time this page was written the Mega Jackpot had exceeded NZ$4 million. The jackpot resets to a minimum of NZ$1,000,000 after every win — so even immediately after a payout, there is still at least one million on the table. Check the in-game counter at All Slots Casino for the current live figure.
🎡 How does the Mega Moolah jackpot wheel get triggered?
The jackpot wheel is triggered randomly by a separate RNG that runs alongside every spin. It is not connected to the base game result — you do not need a specific symbol combination to trigger it. The wheel can activate on any spin including losses. Higher bets increase the probability of triggering the wheel. Once triggered, the wheel spins and stops on one of four jackpots — Mega, Major, Minor or Mini — and that prize is credited to your balance instantly.
📱 Can I play Mega Moolah on my phone in NZ?
Yes — Mega Moolah is fully playable on iPhone, iPad and Android devices through the All Slots Casino mobile browser. No download required. The game loads in Safari or Chrome and the jackpot wheel animation, lion wilds and monkey scatter features all work identically to desktop. In fact, the largest single online jackpot ever recorded (€13.2 million in 2019) was won on a mobile device — proving that phone play is just as jackpot-eligible as desktop.
🎁 Is Mega Moolah eligible for the All Slots Casino welcome bonus?
Progressive jackpot games including Mega Moolah typically contribute at a reduced rate (often 10%) or are excluded from wagering requirements at most casinos, including All Slots. This is standard industry practice to prevent bonus abuse on jackpot games. We strongly recommend playing Mega Moolah with real balance funds rather than bonus funds — this way any jackpot win is immediately withdrawable with no wagering conditions. Check the current bonus T&Cs on the All Slots Casino site to confirm the current contribution rate.
🏦 How is the jackpot paid out to NZ winners?
When a jackpot is won, All Slots Casino credits the full amount to your account balance. The jackpot is denominated in USD or EUR on Microgaming’s network and converted to NZD at the live exchange rate at the time of the win. The casino will contact you to complete or verify your KYC documentation before processing the withdrawal. In New Zealand, casino winnings are generally not subject to income tax — you keep the full NZD equivalent of your jackpot. Withdrawal methods for large amounts include bank transfer and may take a few business days to process.
🔒 Is Mega Moolah fair? How is the RTP calculated?
Yes — Mega Moolah is eCOGRA certified and the RNG is regularly audited by independent testing labs. The published RTP of 88.1% reflects the total return including jackpot contributions. Approximately 4.5% of every bet goes into the progressive jackpot pool — meaning the base game returns around 92.5% without the jackpot contribution. This is why the RTP is lower than regular slots: the jackpot pool funds the life-changing prizes. All results are generated by certified Random Number Generators and cannot be influenced or predicted.
