News about huge wins on progressive jackpot slots is getting increasingly frequent, but the UK record of £13.2 million won on Microgaming’s Mega Moolah by Jonathan Heywood back in October 2015 has not been beaten, but that same slot might take its own title!The Mega Moolah jackpot has just passed the record amount, and if a UK player wins it, they will pick up the biggest win in the country’s history for an online slot game.
Depreciation Difference
Despite this amount being a UK record, it may not take the world record from Mr Heywood as the depreciation of the pound since October 2015 from €1.35 to the pound down to €1.11 to the pound means that the jackpot is a fair way short of the €17,880,990 that My Heywood’s win was worth at the time.The Mega Moolah jackpot would have to hit around £16 million for the world record to be won with the pound at its current value.
Mega Moolah
This five reel, 25 payline slot is one of Microgaming’s most popular, and not exclusively due to its habit of paying out life changing sums of money to jackpot winners (although that definitely helps!).The jungle setting is immersive, with the design being eye-catching in the best way, the reels are full of various exotic animals including buffalo, giraffe, Ibis, and zebra, with the lion playing the part of the wild.The jackpot round triggers randomly during the game, but the chances of winning are higher if the bet is towards the upper end.If you make it to the jackpot round you will spin a wheel that will trigger the Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega jackpot, with the latter being the one that will currently win you well over £13 million!
