Since the first online slot titled Reel ‘Em debuted back in 1994, we have seen tens of thousands of games hit the market. Some became more, some less popular, and a small portion of them gathered a loyal fan base and turned into timeless hits.
However, no other pokie in the world impacted the online gambling industry as much as Mega Moolah did.
In 2006, Black Seeds released their debut album and Sione’s Wedding was smashing box office records. On the other side of the planet, Microgaming launched a game titled Mega Moolah. The game didn’t stand out from its rivals in terms of visuals and gameplay, but it had an essential ace up its sleeve: a staggering progressive jackpot.
Two years later, Mega Moolah paid out its first progressive jackpot, worth a fantastic €6.37 million ($11.5 million)! In the coming years, the prizes kept increasing, and the pokie rightfully earned the nickname the Million Maker. Mega Moolah even managed to set the Guinness World Record for the highest jackpot payout on two occasions.
For years, fans of the cult series had only two games on offer. Yet, since 2020, plenty of fresh titles have been added to the lineup.
