This latest win is the 31st win for the Mega Moolah Mega Jackpot since December of 2009 and the prize won by the lucky player, who has not yet been identified, is well above the average amount of $5,396,369 that is hit approximately every 11 weeks. This week’s win comes a mere 8 weeks after another punter hit the prize for an amount of $5.3 million.
The Mega Moolah Jackpot is tied to a number of Microgaming video slot games, with Mega Moolah being the most prominent amongst them.
The Wild Africa themed Mega Moolah contains four jackpots. Although the jackpot bonus game is randomly triggered, players may increase their chances of triggering the bonus game by betting the maximum amount.
The progressive jackpot game is a wheel on which are four different colored sectors with each sector, depending on the color, corresponding to one of the four Mega Moolah jackpots available, namely the Mini, Minor, Major and Mega jackpots.
When players trigger the wheel, it is spun and when it comes to a rest, the jackpot the selector is pointing to is the one won by the player.
The Guinness World Record recognized largest ever jackpot was won by Jonathon Heywood from Cheshire, who triggered the Mega Jackpot with a 25p stake in October, 2015 winning a whopping £13.2 million.
