Relax Gaming Goes 100,000x with New Money Train 3 Slot

If you have followed the slots industry, then you may know the reputation that follows the Money Train slot by Relax Gaming. Lo and behold, one of the greatest slots of the century is ripe for another sequel, the Money Train 3. It’s meaner and has some cool new bonus features that include the Persistent Shapeshifter, which transforms into any feature on each spin, the Absorber, which soaks up all multipliers, and the Tommy Gun, held by the Payer or Sniper and targets 1 symbol type before adding to its value. The party starts on the 22^nd of September, so let’s prepare by sharing some of the highlights.

For the most part, Money Train 3 is very similar to the first two games, featuring a 5x4 format with 40 fixed lines. The theme has been updated slightly by adding a touch of sci-fi elements and making it appear more cyberpunk than Western. Because of that and other SFX, the new visuals are more eye-popping. Other than that, the maximum payout per line and per symbol is still 20x.

The other significant change comes with the refreshed Respin Feature. It’s now triggered at the end of any spin without a win instead of with double Scatters. One of the symbols already present on the reels will be selected randomly to be sticky, and a respin is awarded. During the respins, additional symbols of the same type can land. Every time a new symbol lands, a new re-spin will be awarded. During the respins, there’s also a chance of getting random multipliers of 1x, 2x or 3x that don’t stick but increase the final multiplier and award an extra spin.

As always, the biggest rewards are reserved for the bonus, the Money Cart Bonus Round. There, the potential has been lifted to a whopping 100,000x, which is well above all the developer’s previous slots. The natural way of winning this feature is by landing 3 or more Bonus symbols. It’s played just like the other Money Train slots by catching multipliers or special symbols and resetting the free spins meter as many times as possible to get the highest payout. In addition to the “old” symbols, there are a few new ones mentioned above:

• Absorber (new): Absorbs all Normal Bonus Symbols and removes them from the reels. Special Symbols cannot be absorbed.
• Collector: Collects all visible values on the reels and adds them to its own value.
• Tommy Gun Sniper (new): Targets one randomly picked symbol, doubling its value from 2 to 6 times.
• Sniper: Doubles the values of 3 to 8 other bonus symbols. It can act on the same bonus symbol several times.
• Tommy Gun Payer (new): Reveals a value from 5x to 100x and targets one randomly picked symbol, adding the revealed value from 3 to 10 times.
• Collector-Payer: Selects from 3 to 5 symbols as targets, adds their values to its own and then pays out its updated value to each of those targets.
• Necromancer: Brings between 2 and 7 already used non-persistent special bonus symbols to life again (Collector, Collector-Payer, Sniper, Tommy Gun Sniper or Tommy Gun Payer). The same symbol can be targeted several times.

There are also five Persistent symbols that have an unlimited lifespan, including a new Persistent Shapeshifter that turns into a different special on every spin (Collector, Collector-Payer, Sniper, Tommy Gun Sniper or Tommy Gun Payer).

The other way of getting into the bonus is with one of four types of Bonus Buy options, which is 3x more than before:

• Persistent Feature (500x) -- Guarantees the bonus game is triggered with 1 Persistent Symbol. Every new symbol that lands in the bonus game will reset the spin count to 3.
• Original Feature (100x) -- Guarantees the bonus game is triggered as it would be if triggered normally from the main game. Every new symbol that lands in the bonus game will reset the spin count to 3.
• 2 Spin Feature (50x) -- Guarantees the bonus game is triggered with 2 starting spins. Every new symbol that lands in the bonus game will reset the spin count to 2.
• 1 Spin Feature (20x) -- Guarantees the bonus game is triggered with 1 starting spin. Every new symbol that lands in the bonus game will reset the spin count to 1.

Note that this time the RTP for any bonus buy is fixed at 96.50% vs 98%, which is in the previous game.
