Online software game developer Microgaming has been riding on the success of its most popular game to date: Mega Moolah. Since this game’s release in 2006, it has garnered the attention of thousands of players around the world, thanks to its substantial jackpot prizes and entertainment value.

Fast-forward to the present day and Microgaming has created numerous games under this moniker. The latest in this progressive jackpot slots series is named Mega Moolah: The Witch’s Moon.

Built across five reels and 25 paylines, The Witch’s Moon comes with its own surprises. There are wilds that double your wins and a titillating free spins feature that comes with a 3x multiplier.

As we have also become accustomed to when it comes to the Mega Moolah series, there are four elusive progressive jackpots that can be randomly triggered at any point in time. You can hit winning combinations by landing between three and five matching symbols (including wilds) from left to right. The only exception to the rule are the scatters.

With a low RTP of 88.12%, this is very low even when it’s a progressive jackpot game. However, the volatility is low, so it can’t be all too bad.

You can hit a maximum win of 1,800x your total wager during the free spins round. When it comes to graphics, the game is set against a starlit sky and exhibits all the makings of a modern slot game with alluring graphics.

If you are ready to take a chance on the latest slot game by Microgaming, keep on reading.

Mega Moolah: The Witch’s Moon jackpots

There is nothing that one can do to trigger the jackpot bonus feature. It is randomly triggered on any spin. When you do hit the jackpot bonus round, you are whisked away to a different screen.

You are then invited to spin the bonus wheel which is made up of four various gemstone segments. Each one of these segments is tied to a progressive jackpot. You only need to spin the wheel to find out if you are going to win the Mini, Minor, Major or Mega jackpot.

The prize sizes vary with the mini jackpot starting from a few euros and the mega jackpot starting from the one-millionth mark.

Just to be clear, the jackpot prizes are nothing to scoff at here. The Mega jackpot turned one lucky winner into a multi-millionaire. The winner walked away with a record-breaking €19,430,723.60 in April of 2021.

Mega Moolah: The Witch’s Moon free spins

The Witch with pink hair and a red hat acts as a scatter symbol. Land between three and five Witch scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on one spin, and you’ll trigger the free spins bonus round.

Similar to other games in the Mega Moolah series, you win yourself 15 free spins. You can also retrigger more spins during this round, to win yourself 30 free spins. Any winnings generated during this free spins bonus round come with a 3x multiplier.

If wilds make an appearance during this round, your winnings are multiplied by a generous 6x.

Mega Moolah: The Witch’s Moon bonus features

If you have played any of the Mega Moolah games, then there are very few surprises here. Mega Moolah: The Witch’s Moon comes with three bonus features, including free spins and multiplier wilds. These include:

Double wild feature

Hit a winning combination that includes a wild, and the double wild feature will come into play. Your payout enjoys a 2x multiplier. Just to give you an example, if you land five books of spells symbols on a given pay line, your payout will benefit from 30x your wager.

Moon Wilds

The Moon Wilds play a pivotal role in this game. They replace regular symbols, except for scatters, to create winning combinations. Land five reels on a pay line to win yourself a massive 600x your wager.

Mega Moolah: The Witch’s Moon RTP

Sadly, none of the Mega Moolah games enjoys a high RTP, for example, Witch’s Moon stands at a low 88.12% which is considerably low for a progressive jackpot. The volatility is also low which mean more frequent but smaller wins.

Of course, increasing your bet size could boost your chances of activating the jackpot wheel and the big bucks.

Verdict

As popular as Mega Moolah is, we are seeing an increasing number of alterations of the same game. While up to three is a decent amount, we seem to get a new Mega Moolah game every few months.

The theme does change, but the features stay the same bringing very little in terms of uniqueness to the table. Of course, players will keep on lapping these games up since they come with big progressive jackpot prizes. Some might not care too much about the uniqueness of the game

For players who might prefer a different version of Mega Moolah, the Absolootly Mad Mega Moolah game offers some new thrills.

As sad as it is for us to admit it, Mega Moolah: The Witch’s Moon does very little to raise the hopes for players looking to play a more unique theme and game.

Although it is almost impossible to hate a Mega Moolah game, the low RTP is just too low even for a progressive jackpot but still worth a few spins, who knows, maybe you get lucky and land a major prize.
