Money Train

Money Train (Relax Gaming): Overview

The games that have followed since Relax Gaming's breakthrough slot Temple Tumble Megaways made its appearance on the market have not been met with quite the same enthusiasm by the gambling community. Of course, the Megaways game engine itself ensures that any slot applying it will generate a certain degree of hype as it's known to be associated with components that most slots enthusiasts love - volatility, entertaining gameplay, a lot of bang for the buck and, most importantly, massive potential.

The studios latest release, Money Train, is not a new Megaways game, but it does pack quite some punch. Moreover, it comes with a Western-theme which, at the time of writing, currently is the hottest thing in the industry thanks to immensely popular recent releases such as Dead or Alive 2, Tombstone and The One Armed Bandit. Powered by the Silver Bullet platform, Money Train is a 5-reel, 4-row, 40-payline slot that benefits from stacked symbols in the main game, a bonus buy option and a Money Cart Bonus Round where up to 20,000 times your stake can be won. You can access this slot through any device, including iOS and Android, from 20 cents to 25€ per spin.

When you first boot up the game, you'll see a train come to a stop at a dusty railway station which will also provide the reels for your session. If you look closely, the first couple of carts promote other Relax Gaming titles, namely Zombie Circus and Temple Tumble Megaways. With an excellent upbeat spaghetti western soundtrack played on repeat, symbols on the reels include wooden card suit symbols alongside four outlaws - a girl, the Mexican, the Indian and a Buffalo Bill lookalike. The latter is the most rewarding, giving you 20 times your stake for a combination of five on a full payline. All regular symbols appear fully stacked on the reels in the base game, including the wild which is presented by the crossed shotguns - it substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination.

Money Train (Relax Gaming): Features

Money Train is all about the Money Cart Bonus Round which comes into play when the bonus symbol appears on reels 1, 3 and 5. Once triggered, the game will take you to a different train cart with a new reel configuration where you'll see 20 individual symbol positions. The bonus round always begins with 3 spins and each time a new symbol hits one of the individual positions, the spin count resets. The bonus remains active as long as new symbols appear on the reels during your 3 spins.

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

• Money Safe – Reveals an xbet value.
• Payer – Reveals an xbet value and adds it to all other visible symbols on the reels.
• Persistent Payer – Reveals an xbet value and adds it to all other visible symbols on the reels for that spin and any spin that will follow.
• Widener – Reveals an xbet value and opens an additional reel.
• Collector – Reveals an xbet value and then collects all visible values on the reels and add them to its own value.
• Persistent Collector – Reveals an xbet value and then collects all visible values on the reels and add them to its own value at the end of that spin and every spin that follows. This symbol does not collect its own value.
• Tumbleweed – Does not carry a value and does not reset the spin counter.

The key here is to land the Widener which opens an additional reel to give you even more individual symbols positions for you to land xbet values on. Highly volatile, this slot can award wins of up to 20,000 times your stake.

If you don't feel like waiting for the bonus to drop "organically", you can hit the Buy Feature button which will allow you to enter the bonus round for a price of 80 times your total stake. It will also boost the RTP from 96.2% to 98.0%.

Money Train (Relax Gaming): Verdict

The unorthodox bonus feature makes for quite a unique experience, making Money Train one of the more unusual slots we've seen in a while. Money Train is also a ferociously volatile slot that is all about the Money Cart Bonus feature where wins of up to 25,000x can be won. The base game does get a bit tedious and the bonus can be frustratingly hard to trigger, but for players who understand what they're getting themselves into, there are few slots quite like Money Train. Having delivered max wins many times over, as we've seen on social media, the proven potential along with the unique gameplay and solid stats make this one of the better slots ever made.
