This year, I have been so blessed! My employer gave me a $1000 Christmas bonus, and me and the whole staff were given the last two weeks of December off with pay! Kind of weird not going in to work on Thursday and Friday. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Stay Healthy, my friends!

Since I last posted, I got into a Section 8 apartment complex (late January 2021), and it's a new building. I was forced to retire last year (2024) because my employer went broke. So now I'm retired and living off of Social Security. I was hoping to stay working until I was 70 (next year), but it didn't happen. I just stopped in to see how everybody is. I'm fine, thank you very much.

Hi catfan! That's great news that you got housing, sorry about the job though :( Glad you're doing okay and thanks for letting us know! While I am new to this, I know the OG's of SGT may stop in and see it. It's certainly not the community it once was!

Hey everyone! I've been playing the Mega Moolah for about a month and thought I'd share my honest feedback.

For those who don't know - this is the legendary progressive jackpot slot that's awarded millions to Canadians since 2006. Finally it's available as a standalone mobile version.

Key benefits:

- Localized for Canada - Interface is in Canadian English, with CAD currency and Interac e-Transfer integration.
- Interac sign-in - No more endless paperwork. Just approve with Interac and you're verified. Only takes under a minute.
- Live jackpot meter - See the Mini, Minor, Major and Mega grow live. Big one starts at CA$2 million and climbs to astronomical amounts.

Several versions - Not just the classic Mega Moolah. Available are:
- Classic Mega Moolah
- Mega Moolah Megaways (high-speed gameplay)
- Fortunium Gold (special edition)
- More themed siblings

Safety features - Big plus. App lets you:
- Set daily loss limits
- Turn on time alerts
- One-click self-exclusion (24h to 6 months)
- Reminders every 30 minutes

Payment options:
- Interac e-Transfer - fast, fee-free
- Visa & Mastercard - major Canadian banks
- Entry point: CA$10
- Payout time: normally 24 hours or less
- Hit the big jackpots and they assign a VIP manager

How the jackpot works:
Different from regular slots, Mega Moolah has four progressive pots:
- Mini: starts at CA$100
- Minor: starts at CA$1,000
- Major: starts at CA$10,000
- Mega: starts at CA$2,000,000

The unique part - any stake size can activate the jackpot wheel. That's how many massive jackpots came about.

App performance:
- Download: ~60 MB
- Compatible with: iOS 12+ and Android 8+
- Graphics: 60 FPS constant
- Compression: less than 60 MB per 1,000 spins
- Portrait and landscape modes

Payout info:
RTP is 88.12%. Sounds low? The reason - a significant portion of all wagers feeds the jackpots. Including the mega payouts, the effective expected value is higher.

The app shows a transparency page with:
- RTP distribution
- Variance info
- Past payouts
- Sort by week, month, year

Real test

Week 1-2 (Demo mode):
Played in practice mode initially to learn the mechanics. Free mode is available after Interac verification (compliance thing).

Week 3 (Going live):
- Deposited CA$50 via Interac e-Transfer (instant)
- Set loss cap to CA$20
- Set reminder for 30 minutes
- Began with 50 cent spins
- Built up small wins
- At ~200 spins, hit the jackpot wheel!
- Won the Minor pot - CA$1,240!
- Requested payout immediately
- Money in bank in 18 hours

Week 4 (Regular sessions):
Still playing here and there. Strictly follow my limits. Overall result so far: +CA$890 over the month.

Real Canadian wins:

The app shows anonymized stories:
- 29-year-old from Vancouver: Won CA$18.4 million on a CA$0.50 stake
- Father of two from Halifax: Hit CA$1.6 million (Major pot) during coffee break
- Student from Toronto: Landed CA$127k (Minor jackpot) while on the GO Train

These aren't marketing - they show timestamps, stake sizes, and advice from winners.

Strategies:

Although the game is random and won't be beaten, here's smart approaches:

1. Target high jackpots - Higher the Mega pot compared to its seed value, the sweeter deal it is statistically.

2. Control session length - Plan in advance how long your session lasts. At the end, stop.

3. Smart autoplay - Program it to pause when you:
- Win 50× stake
- Lose 20× stake
- This protects your balance

4. Minimum bet qualifies - You can spin for only CA$0.25 and yet qualify for the jackpot wheel. Unnecessary to max bet.

Pros:
- Made for Canada
- Interac verification (lightning fast)
- Four progressive jackpots
- Minimum CA$0.25 bet works
- Fast withdrawals
- Comprehensive responsible gaming tools
- Demo mode available
- Several game variants

Cons:
- Lower base RTP (but progressive pots offset this)
- Missing social features yet (coming)

Getting started:
1. Download the app (App Store)
2. Verify with Interac (takes under a minute)
3. Optional: play in demo mode first
4. To go live: deposit (min CA$10)
5. Set your boundaries
6. Pick Mega Moolah from lobby
7. Spin and watch the jackpot meter!

Is it worth it?
Yes, if:
- You're in Canada
- You like fast Canadian banking
- You value built-in limits
- You like life-changing jackpots
- You like to practice first

Even if you play CA$0.25 spins or bet more, all bets has a shot at the jackpot wheel.

Install:
Look for mega moolah app in App Store

Remember: Only bet what you can afford. Activate caps and respect them. Struggling, Canadian helplines are built into the app.
