Optibet Player Wins Millions Playing Microgaming's Mega Moolah Slot

Microgaming has been known for making millionaires since it was first established 27 years ago. With their quality slots and games, the company is one of the leading online betting and casino software producers.

Microgaming paid a hefty prize of € 7,231,507.69 on the 6th of August 2024. The record-breaking Jackpot was struck in Optibet, in a casino owned by Enlabs. Two months before the win was recorded, a player from the same casino had made a hit of € 6.50 million in Microgaming's progressive Jackpot network.

The software company is known for paying in lumps that make Jackpot winners instant millionaires. It was no different for this winner. With this win, the company has recorded a total of 101 millionaires made through its network, a figure higher than most networks' records. The company's progressive Jackpot network has now paid more than € 1.45 billion in cash to date, with a little less than € 200 million paid out this year alone.

The current € 7 million Jackpot hit is not the only win that has been recorded while playing Microgaming's Mega Moolah slot. It isn't the highest either. In April, the slot paid out a record € 19.40 million, ranking amongst the highest wins recorded in a single Jackpot hit on any network.

The Mega Moolah slot is a classic that has stood the test of time, often referred to as a classic amongst classics. The slot was released in November 2006. The slot is not only based on a theme that is beyond inspiring. It also has features that have kept a good report over the years.

The game's theme is inspired by the African's Safari, a theme known for its distinct style and easy recognition. The theme carries the player deep into the wild with the alluring symbols featuring various animals. Some of the paying symbols include a Giraffe, an Elephant, a Monkey, a Buffalo, a Zebra, and an Antelope. The symbols are also classified into the low, mid, and high pay categories, and some of the cards also double as Wild and Scatter. The Scatter, most fascinating, seems to be a Monkey clothed like an African witch doctor, known as the Wise Monkey.

The scatter symbol doesn't need to land on the payline before triggering the Mega Moolah free spin bonus, a total of three anywhere on the grid, and the player is awarded 15 free spins. On the other hand, the wild can replace any of the lower-paying symbols, it gives the highest multiplier, and it also helps to make winning combinations.

The soundtrack fits the theme perfectly and has gone a long way in fostering the incredible atmosphere the game is well known for. The sound is that of a traditional African theme, and it ties nicely with the backdrop image.

The slot also has other features such as the Progressive Jackpot Wheel, and this could dish out prizes in Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega levels depending on where the pointer stops.
