Money Train Slot – Free Demo

Shotguns stacked over a train robbery

Relax Gaming has produced a train-robbery slot built around a respin bonus. The cast is a Wild West one, a debt collector, a TNT expert and a gunslinger above a row of playing cards. It is constructed around a train heist and the loot secured inside the cars. I played 320 spins of it at 8.00 a spin, and my balance never rose above the 5,000.00 I started with.

Money Train offers 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 fixed paylines, it can be played on all devices from 0.10 to 50 credits per spin, and wins are paid left to right from reel 1, with three or more identical symbols. Those 320 spins wagered 2,560.00 and returned 776.00, a session return of 30.3%. There's also a wild symbol, a pair of shotguns, which stands in for all the other paying ones on the reels. Sixty-seven of my spins paid anything at all, and 35 of the 67 paid less than the 8.00 stake. In the base game it appears in stacks across them, helping to form winning combinations. My longest run without a win was 22 spins, ending on spin 190.

How a Money Cart round keeps itself alive

The first of this slot's special features that you will take notice of is its Money Cart bonus, and this comes into play from the moment that you land the Bonus Scatter on reels 1, 3 and 5. I never landed that combination in 320 spins. When that happens, a respin round starts with 3 spins. Landing a new symbol is the only thing that keeps the round going. Every new symbol that lands resets the meter back to 3. Nothing in the rules caps how many times that reset can happen. The round finishes should nothing new land, and the values themselves lock in place for the entire round. Money Cart 4 and Money Train 4 are later Relax Gaming titles in the same series.

Collectors, Payers and the reels that widen

Money Train also has something called specials built into the bonus, and the Collector collects every visible value and adds the total to itself. There is also a plain value symbol, the Money Safe, which does nothing but reveal an amount. The Payer adds its own value to every other value on the grid. A Payer landing late therefore works on every value already locked on the grid. Persistent versions of both exist as well. These trigger again on every remaining spin instead of just once. Both keep firing for as long as the round keeps resetting. The Widener unlocks an extra reel, up to two of them. A widened grid leaves more positions for the next spin's symbols to land in. It turns 5 reels into 7, and carries a value of its own. My session stayed on the five-reel base game throughout.

Minty’s Closing Thought: Everything that makes this game worth taking apart sits behind the Bonus Scatter on reels 1, 3 and 5, and across 320 spins I watched the base game on its own: 67 paying spins, a best of 112.00 at an 8.00 stake, and a close of 3,216.00.

What 320 spins at 8.00 left behind

There are a few online slots that people will always recall from the Relax Gaming brand, and Money Train is certainly one of them. The best single spin of my 320 was spin 269, which paid 112.00 against the 8.00 stake, fourteen times it.

One other thing to recall about Money Train is that wins reach up to 20,000 times the stake.
