Overview
Money Train Series is a slot series created by provider Relax Gaming. It began with a story about a gang of Wild West outlaws robbing a train loaded with money. Since the first game, Money Train, in 2019, five numbered sequels and one jackpot edition have been released.
The bonus round is the heart of the series. Symbols with cash values and character symbols with special abilities drop onto the reels, and the remaining spins reset whenever a new symbol lands, which makes it similar to Hold & Spin. In the AI Slot DB, every game in the series has “high” volatility, and the official descriptions of games 1 to 3 also list a bonus buy feature.

Characters in the Bonus Round
The bonus in Money Train 2 was introduced as the “Money Cart bonus round.” It starts with 3 or more scatters and gives you 3 spins, and each time a reel fills up with symbols, another row opens. Later games kept adding new characters to this framework.
| Debut | Character | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Money Train 2 | Collector | Adds up all the values on screen and adds its own value too |
| Money Train 2 | Payer | Adds its own value to the prize |
| Money Train 2 | Sniper | Doubles the values of up to 8 symbols |
| Money Train 2 | Necromancer | Revives a character that has been used and switched off |
| Money Train 3 | Shapeshifter, Absorber, Tommy Gun | Transforms into a different feature each spin, absorbs multipliers, targets one symbol type to increase its value |
| Money Train 4 | Arms Dealer, Upgrader, Unlocker, Reset | Trades bonus symbols for features, upgrades features into persistent ones, adds rows, resets the spin count |
| Money Train 5 | Ticket Master, Bomber, Pyromancer | New characters (detailed roles are not given in the official description) |
After the “Last Train”
In 2023, Relax Gaming described Money Train 4 as “the train heading to its final destination” and “the game where the outlaws ride the rails one last time.” Three years later, in September 2026, Money Train 5 was released and the series continued. Game 5 moves the setting to a wasteland after a nuclear war, and the base game includes “Nuclear Wild,” which attaches to a reel on any spin and explodes into a wild reel. In the bonus, the train passes through stations one by one with ticket symbols as it heads to the final stop.
Origins Dream Drop, released in June 2023, sits outside the numbering. It goes back to the era of game 1 and adds Relax Gaming’s Dream Drop jackpot. The Money Cart series from the same company has a similar name but is a separate series.
