Isle of Man based software giant Microgaming are no strangers in producing highly successful slots, whether they are based on film or TV franchises like Game of Thrones and Bridesmaids.

Jackpot Slot Series

The development of slot games based on popular films and TV series is certainly a way of attracting a new audience, especially with the films and TV series proving popular. It seems Microgaming are expanding in another area of slot development by creating a series of Mega Moolah slots, all connected to the progressive jackpot network.Mega Moolah is by far the most popular slot ever developed by Microgaming and has seen players scoop some of the biggest jackpot wins on record paid out from a slot game. Soldier Jonathon Heywood’s £13.2 million win back in 2015 was recorded as the biggest jackpot slot wins in Internet history.

Linked Progressive Jackpots

Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah was the first slot Microgaming released in the new Mega Moolah series, more than ten years after the original Mega Moolah first hit ours screens. The concept of the game is different with the original set in the African Plains and this one set underwater but both games are connected to the progressive jackpot network, meaning wins can be made playing either game and those wins could far exceed any past win by far.The latest game released in the series is Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah, like the other two slots, Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah is also linked up to the progressive jackpots on the Mega Moolah Network. Huge jackpots have already been won from the original Mega Moolah, but the future looks bright as now there are three slots connected to the progressive jackpot which could see huge win potentials in the future.Slot Developers such as NetEnt and Playtech may have to up their game as these huge powerhouses in the industry battle for supremacy for the biggest jackpots.
