Microgaming casinos & games NZ

Mega Moolah

It’s difficult for another title to score higher on the Microgaming games list. Mega Moolah will forever keep its spot in the heart of players for breaking the record for highest payout given by a pokie. It earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records after a UK player named John Heywood won the equivalent of NZD30, 766, 428.17 playing it at Betway.

Mega Moolah has a classic safari theme and a format of 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines. Considering it’s known for big wins, the RTP is a relatively low 88.12%, but it’s the four progressive jackpots that spike it up considerably. These can be randomly triggered on any spin in the base game.

Major Millions

This is the pokie that low stakes players who still dream of winning big look for at Microgaming casinos. Major Millions has very low volatility and an equally low betting range of 0.2 to 3. Max win is 8,000x your stake, which won’t turn you into a millionaire considering the low max bet but will still deliver quite the thrill if you hit it.

Things get considerably more interesting when the progressive jackpot is taken into account. It’s not as huge as that offered by some other Microgaming pokies, but it does regularly reach the six figures. In 2020 it registered the highest win – the equivalent of NZ$2,840,806.60. N

9 Masks Of Fire

A classic 5x3 format with 20 paylines and an African tribal culture theme combine to make 9 Masks Of Fire another stalwart on the Microgaming list of games. The RTP is slightly higher than average at 96.24%, and the maximum win is up to 2,000x your stake.

With a bet range between 0.2 and 60, this doesn’t translate into the highest of wins, and there are no progressive jackpots to skyrocket this number either. However, the pokie includes bonus games with unlimited free spins and multipliers up to 3x. Mask scatters yield a cash bonus.

Immortal Romance

Riding on the Twilight Saga mania, this Microgaming pokie is fully onboard with the gothic theme, its 5x3 reel packed with vampiric paraphernalia, roses and protagonists that look like they stepped out of the Hollywood blockbuster.

The game has 243 ways to win and is very favourable RTP of 96.86%. The max win is a huge 12,150x your stake, but keeping in mind that the bet range only goes up to 30, you won’t be reaching any record-breaking wins here.

9 Pots of Gold

9 Pots of Gold is Microgaming casinos’ answer to Irish luck, with a 5x3 reel format and 20 paylines. Once again we see a relatively high RTP of 96.24%, coupled with a bet range of 0.20 to 60 and a max win potential of 2,000x your stake.

This is another one for the low rollers who aren’t expecting massive wins, especially as there’s no progressive jackpots. The thrills are delivered by a Pot Pays bonus feature and the Free Spins with multipliers.

Break da Bank Again

Time for a daring bank heist with this pokie, considered one of the most thrilling experiences on the Microgaming list of games. With a 5x3 reel slot and 9 paylines, the RTP is slightly lower than expected at 95.43%.

Break da Bank Again has a bet range of 0.09 to 22.50, so it’s another low-roller one. Don’t be fooled by the 375,000x max win, given the max bet is so low. There’s no progressive jackpot, but you’ll find a Free Spins bonus of up to 25 spins with a 5x multiplier.

Adventure Palace

Another title on the list of Microgaming games that has high volatility and a higher-than-average RTP of 96.1%. This jungle-themed pokie comes with a 5x3 reel format and 9 paylines, while the bet range is between 0.09 and $45, with a maximum win of 10,000x your stake. 

There are no progressive jackpots, but you can hit Free Spins feature where wins are tripled. Symbols include standard playing cards and various jungle creatures.

The elephant symbol acts as the Wild, doubling wins when substituting, while the palace Scatter triggers the Free Spins when three or more appear anywhere on the reels.

Game of Thrones

Based on the iconic TV series, this 5x3 pokie offers 243 ways to win. It has an RTP of 94.86% and medium volatility. The hit rate stands at approximately 31%, meaning almost a third of spins could yield a win

The bet range starts from NZ$0.30 to NZ$6.00, with a max win of 20,250x the stake. The game lacks a progressive jackpot but offers four different Free Spins features, each representing a house from the series.

Lucky Leprechaun

Lucky Leprechaun is one of the most popular Irish-themed Microgaming pokies, with a 5x3 reel and 20 paylines. It has a solid RTP of 96.33% and medium volatility, which means that payouts can vary widely due to the medium volatility, with both low and high-value wins are possible.

Don’t expect massive payouts though, as the bet range is relatively small, from 0.2 going only up to 20, with a max win of 1,000x your stake. There’s no progressive jackpot but the two bonus games, Free Spins and Trail O’ Fortune, can yield some bigger wins.

Avalon

Welcome to the land of Arthurian legends. Avalon is a 5x3 reel, 20-payline slot with a medieval theme that brings to mind many a blockbuster movie, which is a Microgaming pokies specialty.

The game has an RTP of 96.01% and a medium volatility. Betting ranges from 0.2 to 200, and the maximum win is 3,000x the stake, so decent-sized wins are a possibility. The medium volatility means you’re likely to get a balance between small frequent wins and larger, less frequent payouts.

Mermaids Millions

Time for an underwater adventure with Mermaids Millions, a 5x3 reel, 15-payline game that’s part of the Microgaming list of games. It comes with an RTP of 96.56% and a medium volatility that delivers a balanced frequency and size of wins.

The bet range is 0.15 to 75, with a maximum win of 7,500x your original stake. Although there’s no progressive jackpot, the Free Spins and Treasure Bonus features can lead to tripled wins and boosted payouts.

Burning Desire

It’s all in the name with this hot title that’s all about a red-hot love theme presented in 5x3 reel, 243 ways-to-win format. The RTP stands at 96.19%, with high volatility, so expect less frequent but potentially larger wins.

The bet range is 0.25 to $250, and the maximum win is 30,000x your stake during the base game, going up to 90,000x during Free Spins thanks to the x3 multipliers.

Jurassic World

Many Microgaming slots are based on Hollywood movie franchises, and this is one of them. The 5-reel, 243-payline slot game is themed around Spielberg's iconic dinosaur movie and offers an RTP of 96.67% with medium volatility. 

The bet range per spin is from 0.30 to 5, and the max win in the base game is 1500x the stake, which can reach a cool NZ$22,500.

Special symbols include the Jurassic World logo as Wild, and scatters that trigger the bonus games but no progressive jackpots. Wins hit fairly regularly due to medium volatility, with larger payouts capped at 6300x your stake in the bonus rounds.
