You might want to back up a little for this one, players. Here’s a clip of the mighty Money Train 3 doing its thing, hitting its considerable max win of 100,000x the bet from a plain, regular base game spin. The lucky player in question chose not to buy the bonus round, which is often the first step in a Money Train big win clip. This time, 270 Hungarian Forints (approx. €0.65) were plugged into the machine, which led to three bonus symbols and entry to the legendary Money Cart Bonus Round.
The round gets off to an absolute blinder when the Persistent Shapeshifter lands on the very first free spin. This is a new Special Symbol which was unavailable in previous Money Train releases. How it works is that it activates on each spin, turning into one of the Special Symbols – Collector, Collector-Payer, Sniper, Tommy Gun Sniper, or Tommy Gun Payer. Not a bad way at all to begin the proceedings. It is actually possible for eligible players to pay 500x the bet to start a bouns round off with a Persistent Symbol. It’s worth reiterating that the action in this clip came from a wholly organic trigger.
From there, the round bounces along, landing additional regular money symbols, while the Persistent Shapeshifter alternates between the Tommy Gun Sniper and the Collector, steadily building the winning pot. One of the key catalysts is the addition of another Persistent symbol, this time; it’s the Persistence Collector. Sometimes, the Persistent Collector can feel like one of the lesser Persistent Symbols when it’s operating on its own. Double them up, though, where a Collector gathers values and a second Collector gathers them again on a single spin, and the results can be mind-blowing.
So it is here when the collect, snipe, and collect again activity builds up to what feels like nigh-on unstoppable momentum before blasting the bonus round headlong into the game’s win cap of 100,000x the bet. In monetary terms, that equates to HUF 27,000,000 or around €65,425. It’s not like there was much sense of the momentum drooping, either. If anything, the bonus round felt like it was just hitting its stride – a common phenomenon in these spookily entertaining Money Train win clips. Without the max cap in place, the win would have been mind-bogglingly high!
After seeing Money Train 2 repeatedly step up and perform on numerous occasions, there was never much doubt that Money Train 3 would do the same sooner or later. It wasn’t so much a case of will it happen, but when. Still, while max wins from bonus buys have been a more common sight in the past, there is something special about Money Train 3 blowing it out of the park from a base game spin. Sometimes it can be tough just to catch an organic bonus round; at other times (albeit rarely), it hits a 100,000x home run. Such is the capricious nature that has punters lining up to see which way the Train will roll for them.
