How many spins on the Mega Moolah could your first 150 deposit get you?

If you are familiar with the different types of offers that you can find at Casino Rewards casinos, then you will be aware that a number of them offer bonus deals for new customers that offer you the chance to play through a stated number of spins.

At Grand Mondial Casino, for example, just a 10 deposit would get you 150 spins, while at Captain Cooks Casino a 5 deposit will get you 100 spins and at Zodiac just a 1 deposit will get you 80 spins at the casino.

Now these offers are among the most popular deals you can find at MegaMoolah.com and part of the reason for that is that they are so obviously linked to the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot network.

However, what is less well known but entirely true, is that you don't have to have a specific Mega Moolah-linked bonus deal to get a great deal on spins at a Casino Rewards casino. Any matched deposit bonus offer can be used to play any of the Mega Moolah slots on site.

Now that raises an intriguing prospect and allows me to put a theory to the test that I have had for some time and that is that you can often get far more spins for your money when you deposit with a Casino Rewards casino, than what is actually advertised for the money.

The question is, just how many more spins would I get?

First let me explain my Mega Moolah spins theory in a little more detail and then I will explain how I put it to the test by taking up a fantastic starter bonus at one of the top Casino Rewards casinos.

Do you get more spins for your money with Casino Rewards bonus offers?

As I have mentioned before in a previous article, I have signed up at a number of Casino Rewards casinos and received bonuses at all of those I have joined. I have explored this in another article which looks at how and why I have received multiple bonuses from the network, but in all those cases, I have spent a good proportion of my money and the bonus I received playing either the Mega Moolah, Mega Vault Millionaire or Atlantean Treasures slot.

Now of course, all three of these games are linked to the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot network and as I have played through my bonus cash, some of which have been the 100 Chances or 150 Chances deals advertised at other Casino Rewards sites, I have come to realise that often I am getting far more spins for my initial deposit and bonus than is advertised on the offer.

There is of course an obvious reason for that. When you see an offer of 150 Chances to win the Mega Moolah jackpot prize advertised on a site like Grand Mondial, this number of spins is the amount of spins you will receive from your bonus cash alone, at 0.25 per spin. At Grand Mondial, your £10 bonus will get you £37.50 in bonus cash added to your account. £37.50 is the equivalent of 150 spins on the Mega Moolah slot at 0.25 per spin.

Note we are using the British Pound as an example. The same offer is available in US dollars, Canadian dollars, New Zealand dollars and Euros.

Now that 150 spins does not take into account your deposited cash of £10 (which will give you another 40 spins added to the total) straightaway and given that you spend your deposit at the same time as your bonus cash, you are more likely to play through 190 spins than 150 anyway.

So as you can already see, if you take the offer and just play Mega Moolah slots at 0.25 per spin, then you are guaranteed 40 more spins than stated in the offer.

However, there is also something else to take into consideration here. Mega Moolah slots generally pay out relatively frequently. On average, based on my own experiences, I would estimate that they pay out once every three spins or so. There is of course a great variation in that, you may have 10 spins without a win, you may have 10 spins with a win each time, but on average over thousands of spins, I think that is a reasonable assumption to make.

Now while many of these wins are generally smaller amounts, on occasion you can land a bigger value win. All this extra cash gets added onto your balance and this can of course then be used to play even more spins on the slot.

Furthermore, if you trigger a bonus feature, such as the Free Spins bonus games on Mega Moolah or Mega Vault Millionaire, or even the mystical Jackpot Bonus Game on any of the three Mega Moolah slots, then the amount you win on these bonuses can be much greater than base game wins and can, of course, be used to fund additional spins on the game if you so wish.

What I wanted to know, was just how many more spins would I get on top of a standard deposit and bonus at a Casino Rewards Network Casino? So to investigate, I joined a brand new casino and made the maximum qualifying deposit for the first part of the starter bonus to receive the full bonus amount for that deposit.

Testing the theory - Signing up at Villento Casino

The casino I joined was Villento Casino which has a good value bonus offer and which offers a 100% Matched Deposit bonus of up to £150 for any deposits of between £10 and £150 that you make on the site. As such, I duly registered with the site with my details and then deposited the maximum £150 into my account.

A short time later, I had the extra £150 in bonus funds added to my account (for some reason, I actually had £301 in total in my account, though I don't really understand why).

My intention now was to use this cash in its entirety on the three Mega Moolah slots, Mega Vault Millionaire, Atlantean Treasures and the original Mega Moolah, until the cash ran out. I would then record how many actual spins I have had on the game for my £150 deposit.

To make measuring the value of my spins easier, I decided to move up from betting the minimum bet amount for each game (which would have been problematic with minimum bet amounts of 0.25 on two games and 0.10 on the other) and I decided to have a blanket wager of 1.00 per spin on all three games when I played them. I also attempted to play them using Autoplay, so I could accurately record the number of spins played.

The criteria for the test

The main criteria for the test was that I would try to mix up my gaming as much as possible. I would pick games randomly to play, I would play at different times of the day and I would play for different lengths of session, sometimes just playing 100 spins, other times having a session of 200 spins.

I would always play at Villento Casino and I would not add any extra money or bonus funds to my account until I had spent all the money in my account (or my balance had dropped below £1.00, meaning I could not afford any more spins on any of the three slots at 1.00 per spin).

I also said I would not make a withdrawal from the account and would use any funds it generated to play more spins until the cash eventually ran out.

I began the test at the start of August 2020 expecting it to run for just a couple of days, certainly no more than a week.

What were the test results?

To describe the results in one word, it would have to be spectacular. After having played all three games for several sessions over the last couple of weeks, I have a net spend so far of just over £100 in total from my cash and bonus account combined. I have around £195 left in the account still to play with going forward.

So how many spins have I managed to land with my money?

Well, unfortunately, when you land a Free Spins bonus game on the Mega Moolah or Mega Vault Millionaire slot, when the game goes back to the base game screen, it does not keep track of your autoplay spins, which means that I have had to estimate some sessions on these games, although I feel these estimates are generally very close to the actual number.

So far I have played the following number of £1 spins on each game:

• Atlantean Treasures - 1,330 spins
• Mega Vault Millionaire - 1,300 spins
• Mega Moolah - 530 spins

At a rough estimate, that is around 3,160 spins I have played for at £1.00 per spin, for a deposit of £150 and a matched deposit bonus of £151. For that £301 in total, I have managed to have 3160 spins and I still have almost two thirds of the deposited cash left available to me to spend.

Indeed, at no point during this test have I dropped below £100 in my account and at one point, I actually had around £330 in the account, which was more than what I had started with, this despite having played over 2,000 spins at £1.00 per spin across the three slots.

In effect, what has happened here is that I have effectively paid for £107 worth of spins on the slots from my account and I have used the cash generated from the spins I have played to allow me to play through an additional 3053 spins. That is £3,503 worth of spins which effectively have been funded by my winnings on the game.

Speaking of winnings, I have also kept a record of how many times I have triggered the main bonus features of the three slot games. Atlantean Treasures does not have a Free Spins bonus game, but on the Mega Moolah slot I have landed 30 Free Spins in addition to my 530 spins on that game, but on the Mega Vault Millionaire slot, I have landed an incredible 165 Free Spins, including one session where I had 45 Free Spins generated from a single Free Spins trigger.

There is no doubt the money that I have won on these Free Spins round, which has ranged from around 10x my bet to over 130x my bet, have been crucial in keeping my bank balance high.

Have I managed to trigger the Jackpot Bonus Wheel game during my sessions? Well yes, I have. Three times in fact. I have triggered the bonus twice on the Atlantean Treasures slot, winning the Mini jackpot of around £10 each time, and on the Mega Vault Millionaire slot, I landed one trigger of the Jackpot Bonus Game and landed the Minor jackpot for a prize of £100.01. See my latest video on a near miss on the 2 million jackpot!

Again, these wins have been useful in keeping the bankroll ticking over, but they have not been as important as the regular base game wins and the Free Spins triggers. However triggering them was extremely exciting, especially when the jackpot can be worth millions.

Conclusions?

Obviously, with the test still ongoing, it is a little too early to draw any definitive conclusions but it certainly does seem that if you play Mega Moolah at a bet level that is suited to your total bankroll, then you can expect your deposit and bonus to last for way longer than the number of spins you would expect to receive.

Of course, key to that is betting the right amount for your bankroll level. Had I bet £3 per spin for example, then it is likely I would have spent all my money at one point and not enjoyed quite such longevity with the bonus.

I will update this article as I complete the test and bring you final figures on just how many spins I did receive for my deposit and bonus before the money ran out. Can I reach 5,000 spins or maybe even 10,000 spins for my money?

Tune in at a later date to find out.
