Signed Relax Gaming, Money Train 3 is the third installment of the Money Train saga. Its particularity? Potential wins that you won’t find anywhere else. 

Naturally, this piqued the curiosity of the experts 8Fortuna, who took the time to analyze this slot, to test it in order to understand it.

The result is an analysis, a complete review of this surprising, entertaining 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, it is the logical sequel to the two previous Money Train games which, let’s not forget, also saw great success.

The Money Train 3 grid operates in 5x4 for a total of 40 paylines. The whole thing is set in a universe reminiscent of the American West, although here, you will be immersed in a futuristic variant. Your mission? Climb aboard the train in hopes of leaving with the biggest jackpot.

We wanted to analyze this slot in detail. To be completely honest, our main goal was to verify whether the information regarding the maximum win was truthful. With a x 100 000 multiplier, it seemed obvious to us to spend a little time on this slot.

The symbols of Money Train 3

There are only eight symbols in Money Train 3. Relax Gaming aimed to simplify the board as much as possible, to allow players to focus on the main thing: the joy 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 suit symbols. These are the club, diamond, heart, and spade. These symbols are the most frequent. However, they also pay the least, with a maximum of x5 for a classic payout (5 aces).

• the premium symbols, which represent characters. There is one 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 also appear less frequently.

There exists an 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, allowing you to make winning combinations.

The bonus in Money Train 3

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

Once the bonus round is won, the starting grid will then empty. The Bonus Scatter 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 goal? Accumulate money symbols. There are 13 in total: 

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

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

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

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

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

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

• Persistent Sniper: doubles the value of several symbols with each spin.

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

• Necromancer: reactivates between 2 and 7 special symbols, potentially retriggering 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 those 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 up. It is possible for this to happen up to two times, for a grid that, in the end, will be in a 7x4 format.

How to play Money Train 3?

Playing Money Train, in addition to being enjoyable, is very easy. Indeed, to start a game, you only need to pay for your spin and then activate the slot machine. Regardless of the result, you will be automatically notified. Win, bonus, or loss, you will see a message appear on your screen, allowing you to understand what is happening.

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

Volatility, RTP and possible payout

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

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.

Which streamers play Money Train 3?

With a maximum multiplier of x100,000, Money Train 3 is a slot machine that, of course, attracts. Its enormous potential and its "jackpot roulette" aspect (where each new attempt can change everything) drive many streamers to engage in bonus buys. Videomakers like TeufeurS or Taour thus offer streams on YouTube or Twitch of their experiences with this slot.
