It’s not for nought that Relax Gaming‘s monster Money Train 2 was chosen by players to be Bigwinboard’s Slot of the Year in 2020. Every so often, the beast awakens to remind us how it clinched the top spot. Exhibit A is this colossal win from a player in Finland who blew the caboose doors off to produce a stunning result. It’s been an impressive year for big wins in general, with epic hits coming in from all types of diverse games. However, there’s epic, and then there’s capital ‘E’ epic, which the clip below certainly falls under.
This one starts with a larger than normal bonus buy of €500 to kick the Money Cart round off, meaning a base stake of €5 since the bonus costs 100x. A quick recap if you happen to be new to Money Train 2. Basically, when money symbols or special symbols land, they are locked in place on the reels and reset the spin counter to 3. This continues until the spins run out, or, as in this case, the win cap is hit.
Auspiciously, a Persistent Payer modifier is served up on the very first spin, which is easily one of the most useful symbols in the whole game. This one adds its value to every other symbol on each following spin. Several spins later, the Persistent Payer’s value is boosted by the Collector Payer modifier, and it starts spraying 786x the bet onto every other symbol in view – on every single spin from then on out. It’s almost surreal when Money Train 2 reaches this sort of level, and the 383x won so far in the clip instantly explodes to 22,757x.
From there, the game hits its win cap on the very next spin. It’s interesting how often developers throw around huge figures regarding potential, and then their games struggle or never manage to achieve them. Then you’ve got others like Money Train 2, which do it with ease, making you wonder if the cap wasn’t in place just how ludicrous it could get.
While we’re on the topic, some bonus rounds produce one almighty spin where the stars align to produce a potential busting combination. Money Train 2, on the other hand, is like a runaway freight train that hits a downward slope and becomes unstoppable when it winds up – should fortune be smiling, of course. In this case, it’s smiling to the value of €250,000, and whether you define this as 50,000x the base bet or 5,000x the bonus buy price tag, it’s an immense collect.
Once again, Money Train 2 reminds us there is absolutely nothing like it out there on the market. Sure, it might be a hold-&-win game at heart, albeit a thoroughly juiced up one, but that’s like saying New York is another city, or The Beatles were just a group of musos from Liverpool. Like those two, Money Train 2 oozes star quality, making it blaze brighter than most.
