General Information
The original Mega Moolah progressive video slot was released in 2006, and ever since then a series of these games was introduced, complete with the four progressive jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major and Mega, the latter starting at a staggering 1 million. In 2020, software provider Just For The Win, created Juicy Joker Mega Moolah as exclusive content for Microgaming. Juicy Joker offers everything players expect to see in a progressive video slot, with a mouth-watering fruity theme bursting with other in-game bonus features.
Let’s take an in-depth look at what Juicy Joker has in store when playing at an online casino that’s been around since 1998: JackpotCity.
Juicy Joker Settings
As with almost any game at JackpotCity Casino, Juicy Joker Mega Moolah can be played on desktop and mobile devices, and players can even decide to play in portrait or landscape mode on mobile. Depending on which device is used, the settings can be found at the right or the bottom of the game, while the current jackpot totals will be at the top of the left.
The settings include the spin button, an Autoplay feature, a sound on/off option and a secondary screen that will explain the symbols and bonus features.
Paylines and Symbols
Juicy Joker Mega Moolah is a progressive video slot with 5 reels and 20 paylines. As the name suggests, the game is packed with juicy fruit symbols like cherries, grapes, oranges and watermelons, together with lower-paying symbols which are the club, diamond, spade and heart of playing card suits. Juicy Joker Mega Moolah has 5 reels and 20 paylines, with coin and bet sizes ranging between 0.10 and 10 per spin, respectively.
The joker obviously plays a big role and is therefore also the Jackpot symbol, which can trigger the progressive wheel when 3 or more of these symbols land – the joker also introduces players to the game when it's initially launched. Other special symbols include a Wild, Respin Wild and Juicy Wild, which will be explained next.
The Wild Symbols
Most online slots have a Wild symbol, which can replace other symbols to complete possible winning combinations. In the case of Juicy Joker Mega Moolah, there are 3 different Wild symbols which can appear at random and, not only will they substitute, but also offer extra features.
While the regular Wild will take the place of other symbols, the Respin Wild can appear on the 3rd reel to award a respin, at no additional cost to the player – this feature will continue until no more Respin Wilds are present on the reels.
When 3 or more of the Free Spins symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, ten Free Spins will be awarded with a Returning Wild feature. This works as follows: during the first nine spins, the position of all Wild symbols that land will be marked with a Returning Wild. During the 10th and final spin, all these positions will change into Wild symbols.
Juicy Joker Jackpots
The Jackpot wheel is triggered when 3 of the Joker symbols appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. In addition to the four jackpots that one can expect in the other Mega Moolah games, there are also cash prizes in the form of Multipliers up for grabs. Depending on where the wheel lands once it’s been spun, players could be awarded with one of the following:
- 1x Multiplier the current bet
- 2x Multiplier the current bet
- 3x Multiplier the current bet
- Mini jackpot starting at 10 credits
- Minor jackpot starting at 100 credits
- Major jackpot starting at 10 000 credits
- Mega jackpot starting at 1 000 000 credits
As the jackpots are progressive, it can continue to grow until it’s been won as a portion of each bet contributes towards the pot – once it’s been won, it will reset to the amount as indicated above.
Big Jackpot Winners
The game was introduced in late 2020 and at the time of writing, we have not received any news on big winners on this specific Mega Moolah slot, however, Juicy Joker is part of the Mega Moolah series, which has paid out millions in the last few years, ranging from 6 to 13 million.
At JackpotCity, players can play in the currency of their choice, however, the progressive jackpot will be paid out in Euros, after which it will be converted to the player’s currency.
