After being hit for over $9.5 million in the middle of March, the Mega Progressive of Mega Moolah progressive jackpot is again on the rise. It should breach the $8 million mark any day now and after that many more players at Microgaming online casinos will come on board.

The hitting of a progressive jackpot is a random event. The Mega Progressive could be hit soon even before it crosses the value of the last hit. Or it may run for several weeks and create a world record by paying over $17 million. The winner is not going to be bothered too much about these details. $8 million is a life changing amount. Over $176 million has been disbursed to 32 players since Mega Moolah was first launched.

If you also want to try for this humongous payout, then the first thing you should do is sign up at a Microgaming powered online casino. There are several good ones around. You can try Royal Vegas, Jackpot City or Lucky Nugget. After completing the formalities you are ready to begin. There are five slot games from which you hit the Mega Progressive and all give you the same chance of doing so. You can pick one according to the theme and gaming features. The original one is Mega Moolah with an African Safari theme. 5 Reel Drive has a driving theme, Isis is based on Egyptian mythology and Summertime will take you on a beach vacation. If you like branded slots then you can try The Dark Knight, which is based on the Batman movie from Warner Bros.

When you are playing your chosen Mega Moolah slot game a bonus round could trigger randomly. You will be taken to a screen that displays a wheel with stripes of four different colours. One of them is for the Mega Progressive jackpot and the other three are for the smaller jackpots. If the Mega Progressive stripe lands next to the pointer, you will play in millions.

At Microgaming online casinos there is another progressive jackpot that is above the $1 million mark. It is Major Millions that is ticking away at over $1.4 million. This progressive jackpot often hits at below $1 million, so the present situation is very welcome. You can try for this progressive jackpot from two versions of Major Millions. One is a three reels classic slot and the other is a five reels video slot.
