Play spikes on Mega Moolah as progressive jackpot tops $12 million.

Once again, Microgaming‘s famous “Millionaire Maker” online slot is attracting players, and spins, at a phenomenal rate. The Mega Moolah Progressive surpassed the $12,000,000 mark last night, and it’s bound to make some lucky player very, very rich!

For those who don’t know, the Mega Moolah is a progressive online slot machine that seeds its jackpot at a cool one million each time it’s struck, making it the highest seeded online slot machine in the industry. Online for more than a decade, it’s already made 49 millionaires since its inaugural installment at Microgaming online casinos in 2006.

Who will be the 50th Mega Moolah Millionaire?

The Mega Moolah jackpot is rising at a fantastic rate today. With the jackpot set to pay out no less than $12.7 million, players are flocking to Microgaming casinos to play the game. The reels keep spinning, and the jackpot keeps growing, currently listed at $12,721,551.

Who will be the lucky winner? That’s anyone’s guess at this point. It could be today, tomorrow, next week, next month… There’s no predicting exactly when the jackpot will pay out its lofty, 11-figure sum. What we do know is that it’s already more than doubled its average jackpot payout, and in less time than it usually takes to release a life-altering win.

According to statistics, the Mega Moolah strikes, on average, once every 64 days (9 weeks, 1 day). Its last strike was recorded 60 days (8 weeks, 4 days) ago. That doesn’t mean it’s primed to pay in the next few days, though. Slot machines don’t work that way. Their results are based on a random number generator (RNG), making them absolutely unpredictable. They could pay twice in the same day, just as easily as they could pay twice in a year.

Of extreme interest is just how fast the jackpot has climbed since the previous strike of $8.33 million. In the last 60 days, it’s climbed from the seeded $1,000,000 to over $12.7 million. With an average payout of $5,082,071 every 64 days, the game’s prize is accelerating about 225% faster than normal.

How to Win the Mega Moolah

To win the Mega Moolah, you’ll need an account with any Microgaming-powered online casino. Make a deposit, navigate your way through the progressive slots menu, choose any of the four networked Mega Moolah games, and spin those reels. Note that you’ll have to play for real money to win the progressive.

Games included in the Mega Moolah progressive network include:

• Mega Moolah 3 Reel

• Mega Moolah 5 Reel

• Mega Moolah Isis

• Mega Moolah 5 Reel Drive

Each of these titles features a bonus round that can be activated at random. The bonus game involves a prize wheel that guarantees to pay out one of its four progressive jackpots; the Mini, Minor, Major and Mega.

The positions on the wheel are color coordinated. Every other position is red, denoting the Mini Jackpot. Six positions are orange, awarding the Minor Jackpot. Three positions are yellow, paying the Major Jackpot. The single white position on the reels delivers the ultimate, Mega Jackpot.

Note that playing the games at any bet size can trigger the random bonus, wherein lies a chance at the progressive jackpot. However, increasing the bet size will increase the odds—ever so slightly—of triggering the bonus wheel game.
