Signed by Relax Gaming, Money Train 3 is the third instalment of the Money Train saga. Its peculiarity? Potential gains that you won't find anywhere else. 

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

The result is an in-depth analysis, a comprehensive review of this surprising, fun, and potentially very 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 two previous Money Train games which, let's recall, were also very successful.

The Money Train 3 grid operates in 5x4 for a total of 40 paylines. The whole is set in a universe reminiscent of the American West, although here you'll be immersed in a futuristic variation. Your mission? Board the train in the hope of departing with the highest jackpot.

We wanted to analyse this slot machine in detail. Quite honestly, our main goal was to verify if the information related to the maximum gain was accurate. At x100,000 multiplier, it seemed obvious to us to spend some time on this slot.

The symbols of Money Train 3

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

These symbols are divided into two distinct groups, with: 

• the classic symbols, which take the form of card pack symbols. These are the club, diamond, heart, and spade. These symbols are the most frequent. But 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 case of a classic gain, these symbols pay up to x20. They are therefore more profitable than the most common symbols but also appear less frequently.

There is one ultimate symbol. It 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 create winning combinations.

The bonus on Money Train 3

The bonus is, quite naturally, the most interesting part, as it is the most lucrative of Money Train 3. To benefit from it, you must see 3 Scatters appear (classic Bonus symbols) on your game board.

Once the bonus round is won, the starting grid will then be emptied. The Scatter Bonus 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 whenever a new bonus symbol appears during your spins.

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

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

• Persistent Collector/Payer: at each free spin, it 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 3 to 10 times.

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

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

• Sniper: doubles the value of 3 to 8 symbols on the playing field, capable of targeting the same symbol multiple times.

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

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

• Necromancer: reactivates between 2 and 7 special symbols, capable of relaunching 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 2 to 6 times.

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

If an entire reel is filled with these symbols, a new column will open. This can occur up to two times, creating a grid that will ultimately be 7x4.

How to play Money Train 3?

Playing Money Train 3, in addition to being enjoyable, is very easy. Indeed, to start a game, you just need to pay for your spin and then activate the slot machine. Regardless of the result, you will be automatically notified. Win, bonus, or failure, you will see a message appear on your screen, allowing you to 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 be activated automatically. You have nothing to do: at the end of each game, the slot machine resets and starts a new one.

Volatility, RTP, and possible payout

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

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

Which streamers play Money Train 3?

With a maximum multiplier of x100,000, Money Train 3 is a slot machine that naturally attracts. Its enormous potential and its "jackpot roulette" aspect (every new attempt can change everything) push many streamers to chain bonus buys. Videographers like TeufeurS or Taour therefore offer streams on YouTube or Twitch of their experiences on this slot.
