Money Train Slot

Okay, so I’ve written reviews on all the other three Money Train series, leaving the original Money Train game for last. Why? Simply because this first game is much less complicated than the other three, is much easier to play, and is less confusing too. Before I forget, it also has a bigger play screen and with bigger icons, so it’s always much easier on my eyes and much easier to see what’s appearing on the screen. I don’t have to repeat myself but I hate small icons and symbols in any game!

After playing the other three games in the series, only now have I realised that certain extra features can only be activated by getting the right icons on the reels. The 6th and 7th reels, for example, need getting that special guy symbol each time for each additional reel, unlike in the later games whereby the additional reel can only be obtained by filling up one vertical column or reel each time.

Since the maximum win is only 20,000x, or so to say, so those big multipliers do not come as often, mostly coming in x1s, x2s and x3s, but occasionally the 10x multiplier do make its appearance. The much lesser number of special icons also reduces the chances of getting more or bigger winning combinations, but all that is okay with me. As long as the game can pay good wins of over 200x or more, I’d be more than happy with it. Honestly speaking, the bigger and higher the maximum possible win is, the harder and tougher it becomes to get good wins! I don’t like that at all – give me more frequent smaller wins and I’d be happy enough, hahaha.

Is there anything that I don’t like in this original Money Train game? Yes, there is one...it is still damn hard to trigger the Bonus game, and the game do still has a high volatility, although lower than the later games in the series. Nonetheless, this is one good game worth playing regularly, but as usual, you certainly need good luck to get those nice big wins!

Money train is one of the most prolific online slot games that helped Relax gaming build a big reputation amongst the gambling community. The slot is based on the wild west and it offers a max win of up to 20000x your initial bet.

The minimum bet is 0.10 cents per spin which is good if you want to play it on a low stake and the RTP is considered to be around 96.2%. Now, during the base game, your goal is to trigger the bonus feature. To make that happen you can either try to bring 3 bonus scatters on the first, third, and fifth reel or by using the bonus buy option and paying 100x of the initial bet. The bonus feature gives you 3 spins which are rechargeable if you land a symbol during the spin.

The bonus game has 2 special golden symbols, which are the persistent collector and the persistent payer. Then you have the payer, the collector, the widener symbols and of course, the usual bonus symbols that award average multipliers such as x1 or x2. Well, your goal is to land the widener symbol which expands the reels of the slot and then land a lot of payers, collector symbols, and of course one or even both golden special symbols. Honestly, the game seems to be great. My biggest win in the money train slot was around 950x win even though I know people who landed some massive wins in this game. Well, I did not play this game a lot, and most of the time I used to buy the bonus feature instead of trying to trigger it through the base game.

I liked the slot a lot and to be honest, sometimes I play it again since it has become an all-time classic slot game but the only thing I did not like was the fact that the base game does not offer anything else such as a random feature.

The Money Train is an exhilarating Wild West adventure which fans of high-volatility games will be happy to play.
Money Train is a video slot with 5-reels, 4-rows, and 40 fixed pay lines, wins are awarded when you land 3-5 symbols that match on a line from left to right. The playing grid can increase up to 7 reels while playing the bonus game. This game has an RTP of 96.20% that rises to an amazing 98% when you use the Feature Buy option. It is also a highly volatile game, so if you don’t like high-risk games then this one is not for you.

Relax Gaming has paid a lot of attention to detail as far as the graphics and animation are concerned, both are well done. There is also a great sounding western soundtrack to complete the wild west experience.

There is only one bonus feature in this game, and its name is the Money Cart. This bonus feature uses a unique type of mechanic. Every time it activates, you have the possibility of winning a massive 20,000x your bet. There are only two options you have as far as activating the Money Cart bonus game, and these are, you can wait for the scatters to land on reel 1, 3, 5 in one spin, or, you can activate the Buy Feature option that costs you a once-off amount of 80x your bet. This will activate the bonus game instantly for you. Once the bonus game is activated, the background scenery changes to a night time scenario. The train leaves the station and is replaced by a new train, with its carriage carrying the grid for the bonus game.

Money Train turned out to be quite a well-designed game that is fun to play. It has great win potential due to its high volatility. The base game is a bit of a drag at certain times, however, the excellent bonus round more than makes up for it. Be careful when you make use of the Buy Feature though, as sometimes your winnings will not cover the cost of purchasing the feature.

Money Train is a slot from Relax Gaming that came out sometime last year and got huge attention between players, mainly because a lot of casino streamers were promoting and playing this game and getting insane hits. There were many occasions of players winning anywhere from 1000x to 4000x bet wins and of course that also piqued my interest to try this slot out myself.

The game itself reminds me a bit of Dead or Alive slot simply because of the ranger theme. It has 40 paylines and I really like the fact that you can bet as little as 10 cents per spin. I have to admit though, the gameplay is very simple and I don't particularly enjoy the base game as besides wild symbols there's no additional bonus. However, there is of course the main star of the game- bonus round with the infamous winning potential. There are 2 ways to trigger the bonus round- either with bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 or by purchasing the feature for 80x bet. One thing I like about Relax games is that several of their games that have bonus buy, are less expensive compared to Blueprint slots that cost 100x bet for buy feature. But with that being said, I have mixed feelings about the buy option as it can be quite addictive- chasing a bigger win or buying multiple features to cover losses, which is one of the reasons I haven't played this game for a while.

This game is certainly very volatile hence its winning potential. I have never had an organic bonus on this game, but I have purchased the feature multiple times either with 10 cent or 20 cent bets. For that you get 3 free spins, where you need to land either purple multiplier boxes, collectors or gun symbols that can multiply your existing win, double it, triple it and so on, with a max possible win of 20000x bet. And every time a new symbol lands, the free spins amount will reset to 3. I really like the concept of the bonus round, it's something I hadn't seen before this game but my personal experience makes me stay away from it. Only twice out of many times have I had a win over 100x bet, I have had many bonus rounds with anywhere from 10x-30x bet wins, rarely more. And of course, after having a bad bonus round, I'm hoping that the next one will be better and buy another one, which usually pays the same small amount. Therefore I have just figured out that it's not a game I enjoy playing since I've never had a good experience. 

Overall, I definitely understand why many players enjoy this game, but I try to play it very rarely just to see if it's in a good mood. I like the fact that it has low minimum stakes and design is good, however, having the bonus buy option I would certainly recommend to be careful with it as it can be addictive.
