Mega Moolah Slot
When the massive Mega Moolah (Mega) jackpot first burst onto the scene, Mega Moolah Slot was the only game you could win it on. Now there are a few others, but the original remains a player favourite.
Game Overview

To win the jackpot: You need to trigger the Jackpot Bonus Game. It is randomly activated.
Got all that! Like I said, plenty going on but the most important thing to remember is the Jackpot Bonus Game is activated randomly irrespective of your bet amount. A 1 cent spin can get you into the Bonus Game, although your chances are better with more lines and coins in play.
The Bonus Game consists of a wheel-of-fortune style spinning wheel that is divided into 20 segments, each of which represents one of the four available jackpots; Mega, Major, Minor and Mini. There are no dead segments so once you win through to the Jackpot Bonus Game you're guaranteed to win the jackpot...question is which one? Unfortunately there are 10 Mini segments, 6 Minor, 3 Major and only 1 Mega, so you're odds of winning the bigger jackpots is slim. But hey, becoming an instant multimillionaire was never going to be easy!
There's plenty of other cash to be banked without winning the progressive jackpots. In fact you can win up to 225,000 coins from fixed payouts on a single spin. Be sure to check the game's win table to familiarize yourself with the symbols that pay good cash, but a few to definitely watch out for are:
The Wild Symbol (Lion) acts as a substitute for any other paying symbol combination on an active payline - kind of like the Joker in a game of cards. The Lion also acts as a Multiplier and doubles the normal payout on a given combination when its in play.
3, 4, or 5 Scatter Symbols (Monkey) anywhere on the screen (ie don't have to be on any active payline) gets you a nice coin payout and also triggers a series of Free Spins. During the Free Spin round you earn 3x the normal payout on any paying symbol combinations.
