Money Train (Relax Gaming): Overview

Since Relax Gaming hit the jackpot with its breakout release Temple Tumble Megaways, the titles that came after it haven’t generated the same level of excitement among many players. Still, the Megaways engine tends to create buzz on its own, as it’s widely linked with the things slot fans usually crave – volatility, engaging play, strong value for money and, above all, huge upside.

The studio’s newer release, Money Train, isn’t another Megaways title, yet it still delivers plenty of impact. It also leans into a Western setting which, at the time of writing, is one of the biggest trends in the market thanks to major recent hits like Dead or Alive 2, Tombstone and The One Armed Bandit. Running on the Silver Bullet platform, Money Train is a 5-reel, 4-row, 40-payline slot featuring stacked symbols in the base game, a bonus buy option, and a Money Cart Bonus Round where you can win up to 20,000 times your stake. It’s available on all devices, including iOS and Android, with stakes ranging from 20 cents to 25€ per spin.

As soon as you load the game, a train pulls in and stops at a dusty station that also serves as the backdrop for the reels. If you pay attention, the first few carts advertise other Relax Gaming games, specifically Zombie Circus and Temple Tumble Megaways. A lively spaghetti western tune loops in the background, while the reel set includes wooden card suit icons and four outlaw characters – a girl, the Mexican, the Indian and a Buffalo Bill-style gunslinger. That last outlaw is the top payer, awarding 20 times your stake for five across a full payline. In the base game, all standard symbols land fully stacked, including the wild shown as crossed shotguns – it substitutes for every other symbol in winning combinations.

Money Train (Relax Gaming): Features

Money Train revolves around the Money Cart Bonus Round, which activates when bonus symbols land on reels 1, 3 and 5. When it triggers, you’re moved into a separate train cart with a different reel layout featuring 20 individual symbol spots. The bonus round always starts with 3 spins, and every time a new symbol lands in an empty position, the spin counter resets. The feature continues as long as fresh symbols keep appearing within those 3 spins.

Now, each symbol in the bonus round has its own behavior:

• Money Safe – Shows an xbet value.
• Payer – Shows an xbet value and adds it to all other visible symbols on the reels.
• Persistent Payer – Shows an xbet value and adds it to all other visible symbols on the reels for that spin and every spin after it.
• Widener – Shows an xbet value and unlocks an extra reel.
• Collector – Shows an xbet value and then gathers all visible values on the reels and adds them to its own value.
• Persistent Collector – Shows an xbet value and then gathers all visible values on the reels and adds them to its own value at the end of that spin and each following spin. This symbol does not collect its own value.
• Tumbleweed – Has no value and does not reset the spin counter.

The main goal is to hit the Widener, as it opens an extra reel and gives you more individual symbol positions where xbet values can land. With its high volatility, the game can pay out up to 20,000 times your stake.

If you’d rather not wait for the bonus to arrive naturally, you can use the Buy Feature button to jump straight into the bonus round for 80 times your total stake. This also increases the RTP from 96.2% to 98.0%.

Money Train (Relax Gaming): Verdict

The unusual bonus setup creates a genuinely distinctive session, and it helps Money Train stand out as one of the more unconventional slots in recent memory. It’s also extremely volatile and largely revolves around the Money Cart Bonus feature, where wins of up to 25,000x can be won. The base game can start to feel repetitive and the bonus may be annoyingly difficult to trigger, but for players who know exactly what they’re signing up for, there aren’t many slots that compare to Money Train. With plenty of max wins reported over time, as seen across social media, its demonstrated potential, paired with original mechanics and strong overall stats, puts it among the better slots ever produced.
