Mega Moolah’s wild lion symbol appropriately serves as the wild symbol. It will substitute for any symbol in the game, with the exception of the scatter symbol. Furthermore, when the wild lion symbol is used to substitute for another symbol in a winning combination, it doubles your win.

The scatter symbol is a monkey dressed as a sort of shaman, and he will bring you good tidings to the tune of 15 free spins if you obtain 3 or more of him and his brethren in a single spin. During free spins (which can be retriggered, by the way), all of your wins are tripled, which means you can win up to 225,000 coins if betting the full amount when you get five wild lions during free spins.

Mega Moolah Final Thoughts

Players familiar with the game know that the jackpot resets to 1 million after the jackpot is won. However, as the jackpot’s base currency is in British Pound Sterling; the jackpot does not necessarily reset to 1 million; if the jackpot is won in a weaker currency than Pound Sterling.

In the case of the Canadian jackpot win; 1 Canadian Dollar equals 0.54 Pound Sterling at the time of the jackpot. Hence the jackpot resets to roughly half from where it stood.

It is often the case that the jackpot is won in another currency than Pound Sterling. Players in respective countries usually play in their own currency, or in a currency that is accepted by the casino. When required, the jackpot then adjusts to currency conversions at the time of the jackpot.

You will feel very welcome in this jungle; once you start living the excitement of playing for some large progressive jackpots. Even the regular jackpot is very nice. Especially when betting the maximum amount. It means there will be plenty of reasons to enjoy Mega Moolah.
