They simply got lucky. However, their moons are quite unlike Earth's moon. The moons of the gas giants were either formed completely separate to the planets themselves and captured by the planet's gravity or formed through a disk of debris orbiting the planet (Like Saturns very visible rings, all the gas giants have rings), while Earth's moon was (thought to be) formed from Earth due to a Mars-sized planetesimal colliding with proto-Earth. That said, Mars' moons are captured asteroids.
