What is the best way to play Mega Moolah slots with a small sized deposit?

In the real world, the vast majority of people that play at online casinos do not have a limitless amount of money to spend playing the games they enjoy. For every 'whale' in the world with funds that run into the millions (or sometimes more), there are millions of other players who tend to have much more modest amounts to spend on their favourite casino games.

Of course, the Mega Moolah progressive jackpot series of games is just one such collection. Offering players the chance to win a jackpot of well over a million usually, in a number of currencies around the world, the jackpot has already been won seven times in 2020 and has already climbed to €4.5 million at the time of writing, after the last jackpot was won back on the 19^th September, 2020.

So if you only have a very small amount to play with each month, but you would like to try and spend the money that you do have available to spend on your play, playing the Mega Moolah slot. What is the best way to go about it? How can you make the most of your money to ensure that you get as many spins on your choice of Mega Moolah slot as possible?

In this article, we will take you through a simple way to ensure that each time you make a deposit with the intention of playing the popular Microgaming progressive jackpot series of games, you can maximise out every last cent from that money to give you as many chances as possible to land a shot at one of the four available progressive jackpot prizes; the Mini, Minor, Major and that huge Mega jackpot.

As with most things, this process starts even before you have added the cash to your account to play and with a very good reason for that.

1. Maximise the benefit of your deposit

The first thing you should always do is decide when and where it is best to deposit to ry and increase the amount of money you have available to you. If you are joining a new casino, then look for one that offers you at least a double your money starter bonus offer. There are a number of these on the Casino Rewards Network that offer you the chance to earn more than double your money and which have been designed to allow you to play the Mega Moolah slots with the bonus for deposits of as little as €1, €5 or €10 or their equivalent in other currencies.

Try Zodiac Casino, Grand Mondial Casino or Captain Cooks Casino if these offer are of particular interest to you.

Other sites, such as Jackpot City Casino, offer a cash bonus on your first few deposits (Jackpot City is a uniform 100% matched deposit bonus across your first four deposits) which you can use the extra cash along with your deposit to play extra spins on the Mega Moolah slot or slots of your choice.

If you are a member at a casino already and do not want to join a new one, then check out the casinos promotions and offers page before you deposit. Some casinos offer bonuses for players that deposit their cash at certain times of the week, or on certain days. It would pay, therefore, to wait until that day to make your deposit to claim the offer. Remembering of course, your deposit would have to be at least the minimum amount stated in order to claim the bonus.

If your casino doesn't have any offers for you, then it is probably wisest to join a new casino to claim a new starter offer to allow you to gain that extra bonus cash alongside your deposit for more spins.

2. Pick the right Mega Moolah slot

If you want to play a Mega Moolah slot and you only have a small amount of cash to spend, then picking the 'right' game for you is going to allow you to play more spins. That is because the minimum bet on Mega Moolah slot games is different from game to game.

Minimum bet amounts per Mega Moolah slot

• 25 per spin - Mega Moolah, Mega Vault Millionaire
• 20 per spin - Absolootly Mad, Fortunium Gold (with Win Booster Activated)
• 10 per spin - Atlantean Treasures, Fortunium Gold (standard game)

So with a relatively small bankroll, you would get on average twice as many spins playing Atlantean Treasures or the Fortunium Gold slot in standard mode, as you would on Absolootly Mad or Fortunium Gold with the Win Booster option activated. You would get 2.5x more spins playing these two slots compared to the original Mega Moolah or the Casino Rewards Exclusive Mega Vault Millionaire.

One thing to note here though is that on the two 0.25 slot games, each spin would have a chance of triggering the jackpot prize and that is not the case on any of the 0.20 or 0.10 minimum bet Mega Moolah slots, where only selected spins on these games would give you a chance of triggering the Jackpot Prize. So you would need to factor that into your decision too.

3. Play minimum bet for more spins, rather than a larger bet amount for fewer spins.

Let's say that with your deposit and bonus you have 25.00 to spend in your local currency. Now you can play that amount of cash on any Mega Moolah slot in a number of ways. Using Atlantean Treasures as an example. you could play 50 spins at 0.50 per spin, 125 spins at 0.20 per spin or 250 spins at 0.10 per spin.

In all cases, when smaller amounts of money are the order of the day then it is always more prudent to play the smaller amount of money per bet and have more spins. There are two reasons for this, firstly, the more spins you have, the more the volatility of the slot has a chance to even itself out and secondly, the more spins you have the more chances you have of triggering some of the other bonus features in the game (which can offer you a decent return even if you don't land a Jackpot Bonus Wheel spin).

4. Have realistic expectations as to what you can achieve

In truth, with a small balance to play with after your deposit, your chances of landing a big win using any of the features of the game is not the biggest and your chances of triggering a jackpot win are also only very small. However, it can and has happened in the past that people playing with bonus cash end up landing a shock win, so while it is unlikely, it can happen.

However, if you expect that to be the case then you are likely to be very disappointed, so have a realistic approach to your gaming and take what you can out of it, even if it is just a few extra spins thanks to the wins that you do land in the base game, or in any of the features that you manage to trigger.

5. Know when to stop

Is it prudent to play through all your money? I'd say in most cases that is not the case and it is wise to have some money left in your account for another session at another time. The only exception to this is if you only have a very small amount of money to play with (say €10 or so) in which case you may well spend all that money in just one session on the site.

If you do have a bit more than that, then knowing when to stop is a key skill to develop which will stand you in good stead not just now, but when you have much more money to play with. Stopping play after a decent win can be tough, you'll always feel another big win is near, but it can be the right thing to do if you have claimed back a lot, or more than, what you have spent so far.

So don't be afraid to walk away if you have enjoyed a good session and have a decent balance still. There's no guarantee that the jackpot will be won at the time you are playing and who knows, that money you save could be better spent in another session in the future.
