Microgaming online casinos are very excited about the fact that the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot has recently crossed the 5 million credits barrier for the very first time since the jackpot was hit for over 6 million credits three and a half years ago.
At the time that Mega Moolah was launched it was presumed that it would make a millionaire each time that it was hit. It was therefore a big surprise when a lucky online player, Klause, hit the Mega Moolah jackpot for 5.5 million credits in April, 2008.
Klause’s big hit was followed by a hit by Georgios who won 6.3 million credits in May 2009. Georgios was the last player to breach the 5 million credit barrier on the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot.
The Mega Moolah progressive jackpot currently stands at 5,157,965 credits and is growing at a massive pace of 50,000 credits each day. The barrier that the progressive jackpot faces is 5,556,753, which is the amount that Klause won in 2008 and it would appear that it is only a matter of days before this barrier is breached. There is, therefore, lots of enthusiasm prevailing at all Microgaming online casinos at the moment.
The last two Mega Moolah hits occurred at Blackjack Ballroom online casino of the Casino Rewards group and the River Belle online casino and players are now wondering which online casino will record the next mega hit.
There are currently six online slot games linked to the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot, namely the four Mega Moolah games titled Mega Mollah, Isis, Summertime and 5 Reel Drive and two branded online slot games titled The Lord of the Rings and The Dark Knight.
The popular Microgaming Mega Moolah progressive jackpot that made history in the online gambling world after paying out over EURO 6 million in May, 2009 to a player wagering at River Belle online casino, has since then only paid out winnings of between 2.5 million and 4 million credits.
The Mega Moolah progressive jackpot was previously networked to four Mega Moolah slot games, namely Mega Moolah, Mega Moolah Isis, Summertime and 5 Reel Drive. Microgaming’s branded slot game, The Lord of the Rings, was added to this network from the summer of 2011.
There has not been a big win on the Mega Moolah network since a player at Challenge Casino won EURO 3.8 million in October 2011. This win was followed by a jackpot hit of GBP 1.96 million on The Lord of the Rings by a lucky player at Platinum Play online casino during December, 2011 making it the first hit on this slot game on the Mega Moolah progressive network.
The Lord of the Rings was hit for a further 1.53 million credits three months ago and for 1.39 million credits a month ago. A couple of days ago The Lord of the Rings was also hit for 1.07 million credits although Microgaming has not yet revealed any details of these hits nor has it let it be known from which slot game or at which of its online casinos these hits took place.
It has been rumored that Microgaming intends removing The Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring from its portfolio as from May 31 although Microgaming has not confirmed nor denied this rumor.
