Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah

We’re all ecstatic at this online bingo site, and it’s not because another epic bingo title has just released, but rather an online slot with limitless potential to make you a millionaire called Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah. How is this so, do you ask? Well, perhaps you’ve heard of progressive jackpots, the linked network jackpot that pays at complete random in the slots online they lie in. If having one of these monsters at your disposal wasn’t enough, you'll also have a bonus feature in the form of free spins to trigger. Let's join the Mad Hatter at his latest tea party and see what other treats are on the table.

Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah is another in the Mega Moolah slots series, although it carries a different theme to the original Mega Moolah, which was based on the African wild. Unlike the original, Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah joins the latest tea party hosted by the Mad Hatter. We're used to seeing this character as something of a kooky animated character, which makes the take on this one a little strange. Triple Edge Studio is the casino games developer that released the slot, and they've made the Mad Hatter look like a regular bloke wearing a silly outfit while pulling a suspicious face. Each to their own, we guess. Looking beyond the look and feel, there's 5 reels and 3 rows that make up the grid, while the studio has used Microgaming’s famous 243 paylines on which to land 3, 4 and 5 of a kind winning combos.

Another lovely addition is cascading reels, which see symbols fall into the reel, the winning icons removed, the existing ones falling into their places, and new icons falling into the grid. That process happens as long as you land consecutive wins, which provides serious added value. Outside of the progressive jackpot, which is in a league of its own payout-wise, the highest payout you can receive as part of regular play is 2,343x your bet. You can find slots here that have much healthier base-game max payouts than that, but then again, those slots don’t have progressive jackpots.

While the random guy chosen to pose as the Mad Hatter might look a little far removed from the world of Alice in Wonderland, the other themed symbols look the part. The Mad Hatter acts as the highest paying symbol in Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah, while other higher value icons include the cakes and treats, one with the Cheshire Cat's head on it, another with the white rabbit atop, and a cupcake with a butterfly perched on it. There are also teacups and a pocket watch as themed icons. The lower paying symbols include playing card suits diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades.

Extra symbols that can land are the wild and the scatter. The wild acts as all regular symbols, except the scatter, to help make more winning combos. The scatter triggers the bonus.

Wilds get collected when they land, and the more wilds you collect, the greater your chance of landing the progressive is. Another trick to potentially activating the progressive is placing bigger wagers. Once this feature does actually trigger, you'll need to spin a wheel of fortune that will land on one of 4 possible jackpots, with the Mega being the one everyone is hoping for.

Another feature that you can trigger is the free spins feature. Landing a scatter on reels 1, 2 and 3 will give you eight free spins, which doesn't sound like a lot, but consecutive wins lead to multipliers. A consecutive win adds a 3x multiplier, with each win immediately following the other, pushing the multiplier as high as 15x your stake for a win.

Online slot games with progressive jackpots aren't usually the best online slots because the focus has mostly been placed in the progressive feature instead of the slots experience. Absolootly Mad: Mega Moolah isn't actually that bad on the base game front, thanks to the cascading reels, and the growing multipliers in the free spins really does add some kick to this cup of tea. And, with a potential progressive lurking in the wings, this could be the party of a lifetime.
