Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah Slot Review

You know when you see “Mega Moolah” in the title of a slot that you’re in for some potentially big prizes, and Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah is no exception. This slot may have a standard 5 reels and only 20 paylines, but exceptionally lucky players have the possibility of triggering one of four levels of progressive jackpot - although not many will reach the top prize.

The Emerald Isle

They call Ireland “the Emerald Isle” for a reason. Few other places can be so intensely green. In the case of ever-popular Irish-themed slots, it’s why that colour is so often dominant, maybe with some gold thrown in for good measure. There’s something reassuring about the Paddy's Mega Moolah slot and its unambiguous setting.

Another Pot of Gold

Other things we expect in Irish-themed slots? Leprechauns, with their pipes, their hats and, most importantly, their pots of gold. Yes, that’s all on the reels of the Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah slot. No, it’s not winning any awards for originality, but the reason this imagery appears in many a video slot is because people enjoy it, and we’re no exception.

Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah RTP and Variance

We must admit that we did a bit of a double take when we saw the 92.03% RTP for the Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah slot. That’s ridiculously low by any standard, even taking into account if your session ends up deviating significantly. Most casinos will offer some form of demo play so you can spin the reels without worrying as much about returns.

Much more in line with other slots is the medium variance, which suggests a balance between the size and frequency of wins that should appeal to most players.

How to Play Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah

Time to test your luck:

1. We’ll do our best to cover everything in our Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah slot review, but if you need more, just go to the official help page linked in the top left corner.
2. Other information, such as the payout potential for each combination of winning symbols, is found in the paytable located in the right-hand menu.
3. In the menu, you’ll also find settings and sound buttons. Settings is home to quick spin.
4. A necessary step for all slots, even those in demo mode, is choosing an appropriate bet reflecting your budget and taste for risk. Use the poker chip button.
5. You could, at this point, just press spin and start the game, but you do have the option of autoplay instead. It will spin continuously up to 100 times.
6. It’s worth bearing in mind that those 100 spins won’t stop when you reach your loss or single win limit, so you’ll still need to pay attention. Staying in control is how the game stays fun.
7. When the fun stops, stop.

How to Win at Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah

There’s nothing unusual or complicated about the base game in the Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah slot. It has 5 reels and 20 paylines, which is a format you’ll see in all kinds of slots elsewhere. Winning symbols are those that match across a payline in a sequence of three or more, with the best prizes for five matches. The max win, however, involves triggering the progressive jackpot.

Top Symbols

A dynamic paytable shows values based on your current bet, meaning you don’t have to calculate the win multiplier yourself. The lowest-paying symbols are the card suits, and then there are the themed symbols, the most valuable of which is the hat. At the top of the paytable is the wild, which applies a win multiplier of x25 to your bet. There’s no paying scatter symbol.

Bet Range

The Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah slot comes with a bet range of between 0.10 and 10.00.

Max-win 612x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 92.03%

Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah Bonuses

Triggering the Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah bonus features is one of the best ways to increase your total win. Like Rich Wilde and the Tome of Madness, this is one of the game’s big strengths. There are special symbols like the re-spin wild and returning wild, as well as a free spins round and progressive jackpot.

Re-spin Wild

Normally it’s the scatter symbol that triggers the interesting features, but in the Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah slot, it’s the wild acting beyond its role as a substitute. There are actually three types of wilds in Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah, but here we’re concerned with the re-spin wild. Find it to trigger a re-spin, with a returning wild. Re-spins continue until there are no re-spin wilds left.

Free Spins

This works mostly as it does in other slots. Find three free spins symbols, win 9 free spins. It's simple enough, at least on paper. You also receive returning wilds in free spins, which turn into regular wilds in the final spin of the feature.

Progressive Jackpot

You need three jackpot symbols to trigger the progressive jackpot. More precisely, you’ll trigger the jackpot wheel, with a cash prize of 1x, 2x or 3x your bet, or a mini, minor, major or mega jackpot up for grabs. A higher bet means you’re more likely to trigger the feature. You can see the values of each jackpot, including the max win, on the main screen.

Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah Review - Our Verdict

It’s the bonus features that most set Paddy's Pot Mega Moolah apart, especially that potentially huge progressive jackpot. Returning wilds are also an interesting addition to free spins and re-spins. We don’t dislike the base game, but it’s nothing we haven’t seen before, even in other JustForTheWin slots like Emerald Gold.
