Created by Relax Gaming, Money Train 3 is the third instalment in the Money Train saga. Its special feature? Potential payouts that you won't find anywhere else. 

Inevitably, this piqued the curiosity of the 8Fortuna experts, who took the time to analyse this slot and test it to understand how it works.

The result is a comprehensive review and analysis of this surprising, entertaining and potentially highly profitable slot machine...

What is Money Train 3, the Relax Gaming slot machine?

Money Train 3 is a slot machine offered by the provider Relax Gaming. Launched in 2022, this is the logical sequel to the previous two Money Train games, which, it is worth remembering, were also a roaring success.

The Money Train 3 grid operates on a 5x4 layout with 40 paylines in total. The game is set in a universe reminiscent of the American West, although here you will be immersed in a futuristic version. Your mission? Climb aboard the train in the hope of leaving with the highest of jackpots.

We wanted to analyse this slot machine in detail. To be completely honest, our main goal was to verify if the information regarding the maximum win was true. At a x100,000 multiplier, it seemed obvious to us to spend some time on this slot.

The symbols in Money Train 3

There are only eight symbols in Money Train 3. Relax Gaming wanted to keep the board as simple as possible, to allow players to focus on the main thing: the pleasure of playing and the hope of achieving great performances.

These symbols are divided into two very distinct groups, with: 

• the classic symbols, which take the form of card suit symbols. These are the club, the diamond, the heart and the spade. These symbols are the most common. However, they are also the lowest paying, with a maximum of x5 for a classic payout (5 aces).

• the premium symbols, which represent characters. There is a woman on a blue background and three men, each on a different background (red, orange and green). In the event of a classic win, these symbols pay up to x20. They are therefore more profitable than the more common symbols, but they also appear less frequently.

One final symbol exists. This is the Wild symbol. It is represented by a gas mask. Its role is simple, as it replaces any other symbol in the game to help you form winning combinations.

The bonus on Money Train 3

The bonus is, naturally, the most interesting and highest paying part of Money Train 3. To enjoy it, you will need to see 3 scatters (classic Bonus symbols) appear on your game board.

As soon as the bonus round is triggered, the starting grid will empty. The Bonus scatters symbols will then transform, becoming symbols with a certain value. You will then receive 3 free spins. The counter will reset to 3 free spins as soon as a new bonus symbol appears during your spins.

Your objective? Accumulate money symbols. There are 13 in total: 

• Absorber: removes all value symbols by collecting them on the reels.

• Persistent Collector/Payer: on each free spin, collects the value of 3 to 5 symbols and adds their total sum to these symbols.

• Tommy Gun Payer: holds a value between x5 and x100, which it adds to the same symbol between 3 and 10 times.

  For a concrete example, check out the Hugo Bets review.

• Collector: collects all values displayed on the game grid.

• Persistent Shapeshifter: randomly transforms into a special symbol on each free spin.

• Sniper: doubles the value of 3 to 8 symbols on the play area, with the ability to target the same symbol multiple times.

• Persistent Sniper: doubles the value of several symbols on each game round.

• Value Coins: apply multipliers ranging from x1 to x10.

• Necromancer: reactivates between 2 and 7 special symbols, with the ability to relaunch the same signs multiple times.

• Persistent Collector: collects all multipliers present on the grid after each free spin.

• Collector/Payer: collects the value of 3 to 5 symbols and redistributes their total sum to these symbols.

• Tommy Gun Sniper: doubles the value of a specific symbol between 2 and 6 times.

• Persistent Necromancer: reactivates several special symbols after each free spin.

If an entire reel is filled with these symbols, a new column will open. This can happen up to two times, resulting in a grid that ultimately has a 7x4 format.

How to play Money Train 3?

Playing Money Train is not only enjoyable, but also very easy. In fact, to start a game, you only need to set your spin size and then spin the slot. Regardless of the outcome, you will be automatically notified. Whether it is a win, a bonus, or a loss, you will see a message appear on your screen, letting you understand what is happening.

If you have set up a spin strategy based on your bankroll, then you can also activate the Auto-Play option. This option allows the slot machine to spin automatically. You do not have to do anything: at the end of each game, the slot resets and starts another one.

Volatility, RTP and potential payout

Let's get into what probably interests us the most. Firstly, the RTP in Money Train 3 is 96.10%. This is standard for a slot machine, nothing really surprising here. The minimum bet is 0.10 euros, up to a maximum amount of 10 euros. 

Does that seem low to you? This low amount is explained by a maximum payout of x100,000, which is unheard of. This is not surprising, however, coming from Relax Gaming, which already offered high maximum payouts in Money Train 1 and 2, at x20,000 and x50,000.

Which streamers play Money Train 3?

With a maximum multiplier of x100,000, Money Train 3 is a slot machine that inevitably attracts players. Its massive potential and its "jackpot roulette" aspect (each new spin can change everything) push many streamers to do back-to-back bonus buys. Streamers such as Teuf or Taour share streams of their experiences on this slot on YouTube or Twitch.
