What are the 4 jackpot prizes in the Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah slot?

As you will no doubt be aware, the Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah slot has taken the Microgaming network of casinos by storm since its release in January 2020.

Part of the great appeal of this new slot game is that it offers players a chance to win a potentially life-changing amount of money as the slot is part of a special progressive jackpot network of games.

So in this article, we are going to take a look at the four different progressive jackpots that are available on the Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah slot, explaining what they are, how much they are worth and how they link in with other slot games that share this extensive prize pool.

We will, of course, also explain how players can, if they are lucky enough, win the massive progressive cash prizes available on the slot through the Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah Jackpot Bonus Game.

So let's begin by learning a little about how the progressive jackpots are incorporated into the Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah slot game.

Atlantean Treasures and the Mega Moolah Progressives

No, this isn't the name of the latest Indiana Jones blockbuster, but simply an explanation of how Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah has come to be part of a series of games that offer access to the massive Microgaming progressive jackpot prize Mega Moolah.

Mega Moolah is the name of a slot game from Microgaming that has paid out 79 million in just Mega Jackpots in 2019. It has a seeded jackpot of 1 million and until the recently was the highest seeded progressive jackpot slot game for Microgaming. The Wheel of Wishes slot with its 2 million seeded progressive jackpot slot game is now officially the highest seeded game the company offers. Mega Moolah was originally a 25-pay line slot based on an African safari theme, but it was its progressive jackpot prizes that caught the imagination of slots fans. At the time of writing the jackpot has ticked over the 6.5 million mark!

The Mega Moolah slot boasted a total of four different progressive jackpot prizes, Mini, Minor, Major and Mega and they are listed in order from the smallest prize, to the largest. What also made Mega Moolah exciting was that on any qualifying spin, you could trigger a shot at any of the four jackpot prizes by triggering the random Jackpot Bonus game.

Spin the wheel and the outcome of the spin would determine of the four Jackpot prizes you would be taking home.

Mega Moolah was such a huge hit, that it soon led to a number of other games under the Mega Moolah brand being released, including Mega Moolah Isis, Mega Moolah Summertime and Mega Moolah 5-reel drive. For a short while there was also a Dark Knight (Batman) Mega Moolah slot and a Lord of the Rings Mega Moolah slot, both with cinematic reals.

That remained the state of play for many years up until last year, when members of the Casino Rewards network saw the release of a new slot that became part of the Mega Moolah network. This was the Mega Vault Millionaire slot and it is exclusively available only at Casino Rewards Network casinos.

Of course, that meant casinos that were not part of this group needed something else and that is where the Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah slot comes in. This new game is not exclusive to any group of casinos and Microgaming and its developers decided that it too would be the next game to offer a shot at the Mega Moolah progressive prizes.

The Mega Moolah Progressives

What is it about the Mega Moolah progressive prizes that makes players of Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah and other slots so keen to try and win them? Well the first thing to note is their value, or more accurately their minimum guaranteed value. This is known as the seed amount.

The seed amount is the amount that the jackpot prize fund will revert to automatically if it is ever won completely (as it is when a British Pound winner lands the prize). In this case each of the four prize pools is seeded at the following amounts.

• Mini - £10.00 or currency equivalent
• Minor- £100.00 or currency equivalent
• Major - £10,000 or currency equivalent
• Mega - £1,000,000 or currency equivalent

We have displayed the amount in British Pounds as this is the base currency of the slot, although if you win a million playing in, say Canadian Dollars or the Euro, then your cash prize is paid out at the stated amount in the currency in which you played the game.

While the Mini and Minor awards are much smaller in value it is the Major and in particular, the Mega Jackpot prizes which are so coveted as with the Mega prize, you are guaranteed to become a millionaire in the currency in which you play the game.

Of course, being a progressive jackpot slot, then all these jackpot prizes can grow considerably more than the seed amount. While the Mini and Minor jackpots are won relatively frequently (often many times a day), the Major and Mega prizes are won less often, and this can see their value increase a great deal.

Prizes of man tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand are possible with the Major Jackpot, while with the Mega jackpot prize, the jackpot can reach many millions, sometimes over 10 million and even, so far on one occasion, over the 20 million mark.

How can I win the progressive jackpot Mega Moolah prize on Atlantean Treasures?

In order to link Atlantean Treasures to the Mega Moolah progressive, the game has to be set up in a way that means it offers the same chance to trigger the jackpot bonus game as any of the other games in the network. Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah has been set up precisely in this way, which means that if you can trigger the Jackpot Bonus game in the slot, you stand the same chance of landing a shot at one of the four progressive jackpot prizes.

This is achieved with a spin of the Jackpot Bonus Wheel. On the wheel you will see many sectors, each of which is coloured one of four colours. More sectors are the colour of the segments that correspond to the Mini and Minor prizes, with just a small number of segments for the Major prize and one for the Mega prize.

All you do is spin the wheel to reveal which of the four progressive jackpot prizes you will win, of course it is more likely to be the Mini or Minor prizes than it is the Major or Mega, but on some spins, those bigger money cash prize will be awarded.

You just have to hope that when you trigger the game, that fortune is on your side and you can win one of the bigger prizes!

When will the first big money Mega Moolah prize be won on Atlantean Treasures?

The true answer to this, despite what people may say about slots being 'hot' or 'ready to pay out' is that nobody really knows. Slot games, by their very nature, contain a high degree of random elements and that is even more the case on progressive jackpot games.

In truth, the first ever winner of the Mega jackpot prize on the Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah slot may be about to win that big prize right now, it may not happen for days, weeks or even months.

Furthermore, as you can win the Mega Moolah progressive prizes on the original Mega Moolah slot, or on any of the Mega Moolah themed slots, or it may be that this current jackpot is won by a player on another game, like Mega Vault Millionaire, rather than Atlantean Treasures. Nobody knows for sure.

However, the more popular a slot is (and Atlantean Treasures: Mega Moolah has proven to be a smash hit success for Microgaming since its release), then the more likely it is that the next lucky winner will come playing that game.
