Money Train slot game symbols

Money Train slot game symbols are made up of a collection of carved wooden playing card suits as the lower-value icons in the game, with a bunch of nefarious characters offering higher payouts.

Like in online slots games, there’s a useful Wild symbol, represented by a pair of shotguns. This symbol can substitute for all other symbols in the game, apart from the Bonus Scatter, so it’s entirely possible to achieve wins without spinning up the necessary number of matching symbols if a well-placed Wild comes to your aid.

All of the symbols can appear stacked in the base game, including the Wild, so there should be plenty of chances to amass some wins before triggering the feature bonus round – although this is where the big cash prizes are to be found.

Money Train Game Features

The base game of Money Train is nice, but it can get quite repetitive after a while.

This game is really all about the bonus feature, which is the innovative Money Cart Bonus game.

To trigger this, you’ll need to spin up three Bonus Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. When this happens, you’ll be taken to a new screen where completely new icons put in an appearance, bringing six separate modifiers in their wake.

The Money Cart Bonus begins with three Free Spins. Your Bonus Scatters that triggered the round are still in place and now become multipliers, starting at 1x but increasing according to the modifier symbols that you spin up.

The principal symbol that you’ll see on the reels is the tumbleweed, which doesn’t come with any rewards at all.

Every time you land a new modifier symbol, the Free Spins counter will be set back to 3 again, giving you the potential for plenty of additional spins during which the cash prizes keep on coming.

Spin up a Money Safe symbol to reveal a bet multiplier. The Payer symbol also reveals a multiplier, but it adds this to every other symbol that you can see on the reels. The Persistent Payer symbol adds a sticky multiplier to all the other visible symbols, which remains active throughout subsequent spins, too.

The Widener awards a multiplier, then adds another reel, giving you even more chances to win.

The Collector symbol awards a multiplier before gathering up all the other visible values across the reels, which are added to its value. The Persistent Collector has exactly the same effect, but it keeps adding the value of other symbols throughout all remaining spins, too.

Not surprisingly given the number of bet multipliers flying around during the Money Cart Bonus, this round can lead to some massive cash awards.

How To Play Money Train?

To play this slot game join any online casino that offers Relax gaming software games to play.

Money Train comes with 40 fixed paylines, so you don’t have to waste any time working out how many you can afford to include with each spin. In fact, your only decision is how much to wager on each spin, before setting the reels whirring into action and seeing where they land.

You’ll find all the controls for the game situated along the bottom of your screen, including links to the paytable, so you can check out how much each symbol is worth.

To win a cash prize on the reels of Money Train, you’ll need to spin up three or more matching symbols across one of the 40 paylines. The first instance of the symbol must occur on reel 1, with subsequent occurrences appearing on consecutive reels.

Money Train 2

The new Money Train 2 online slot has the same look and bonus format as the original game but with a few updates that are sure to satisfy fans of the original game.

 To win this slot version landing three or more matching symbols on any of the game’s 40 paylines will provide you with wins. The highest-paying symbol in the game is the Necromancer and provides a payout of 20x your stake. The wild also provides the same top prize for a five-of-a-kind combo.

There is a respin feature that is triggered when two regular bonus symbols appear on the reels. Each of the symbols reveal a multiplier that are added together and respins occur until you hit a win.

Every time a non-winning spin occurs, your multiplier will increase by 1x. Once you land a win, that multiplier will be applied to your prize.

There is also the Money Cart bonus which is a favourite from the original Money Train slot. When this bonus is active, you start with 3 free spins. Every time you land a symbol, the free spins counter resets. The round only ends when the metre reaches 0.

Every symbol that lands on the reels has a special function:

• Bonus: a prize between 1x and 10x
   
• Golden Bonus: a prize between 20x and 200x
   
• Payer: adds a multiplier to all of the current symbols on the reels
   
• Collector: reveals his own value and then collects the values of all of the other symbols to update his total
   
• Collector/Payer: adds a multiplier to all other symbols and adds the total of all other symbols to its own total
   
• Sniper: doubles the value of up to 8 bonus symbols
   
• Necromancer: revives one character that has already been used
   
• Reset Plus: increases the starting number of free spins by 1. So, the first time you trigger this bonus, a new symbol will cause the free spins counter to reset to four. The second time, the respin counter will reset to five, and so on.
   
• Persistent Payer: adds a multiplier to all symbols on every spin
   
• Persistent Sniper: doubles the value of up to 8 symbols of every upcoming spin
   
• Persistent Collector: collects all of the symbol’s multipliers and adds it to its own total for every coming spin

As you can see, with all of the crazy feature symbols in the free spins bonus, it’s totally understandable that there’s a top prize of 50,000x. Of course, the really big paying symbols (the persistent ones) are very difficult to trigger.

In the bonus round, you have the same layout where you collect symbols with cash values on them. The Collector and Sniper play the same roles as in Money Train 2, so you can look forward to an interesting gameplay experience.

What really makes this game worth trying, though, is that there’s a free spins bonus in addition to the hold & win bonus. This feature comes equipped with an increasing multiplier and sticky wild feature.

In the main bonus round. In the original slot, there were three special modifier symbols during the re-spin bonus and Money Train 2 adds loads more features to the Money Cart game.

There are 11 different types of symbols that players can land during the respin. There are Collectors, Payers and Snipers and then Persistent versions of each which apply their effects to future spins.

This makes the bonus round a lot more impressive. However, it does also mean that the bonus game in Money Train 2 is a lot more complicated than in the original slot. So, you might end up finishing the bonus without really understanding what happened.  

But both the slot casino games are interesting to play and you can pay for free without risking your money and understand the game before you switch to real money game.
