Money Train 2

Money Train 2 is a Relax Gaming slot launched on September 2, 2020, and for many players still the definitive entry in the Money Train series. The Wild West of the original gives way to a post-apocalyptic desert crew, the win cap jumps from 20,000x to 50,000x, and the Money Cart gains the specials that made it famous: the Sniper, the Necromancer, and their persistent kin. The stated theoretical RTP is 96.40%, the highest of the mainline sequels, with third-party databases rating volatility as very high.

The base game keeps the 5×4 grid with 40 paylines and the same paytable structure as Money Train, with the top character paying 20x the bet for five on a line. New here is the Respin feature: whenever exactly two bonus symbols land, they reveal multipliers and respins run until a win forms, with every losing respin adding +1 to the multiplier that will be applied.

The Money Cart, Fully Armed

The bonus now triggers on 3 or more bonus symbols anywhere, starts with 3 respins, and resets the counter with every new symbol. Regular symbols carry 1x-10x values and golden ones 20x-200x. On top of the original’s Payer and Collector comes the arsenal that defines the sequel: the Sniper doubles the values of 3 to 8 symbols, the Collector/Payer sweeps values in and then pays its new total back out to every symbol, the Necromancer resurrects up to 7 used specials, and Reset Plus permanently raises the respin counter. Persistent versions of the Payer, Sniper, and Collector repeat their action every spin. Filling the board, including the two unlockable extra reels, ends the round with a 500x bonus award on top.

Golden Triggers

A detail that shapes the whole experience: the persistent gold symbols count toward triggering the bonus, and any gold symbol that participates in the trigger reveals its action before the first respin is played. Starting a round with a Persistent Sniper or Persistent Collector already on the board transforms its expected value, which is why trigger screens are studied as closely as the rounds themselves. It also gives natural triggers a lottery quality the first game never had: most carts start plain, but the rare gold-assisted entry is where the 50,000x stories come from.

Feature Buy

The Money Cart can be bought for 100x the bet, and the rules keep the original’s exceptional 98.00% theoretical RTP for the bought round. Combined with the 50,000x cap, this made Money Train 2 the reference bonus-buy slot of its generation.

Money Train 2 Review

Money Train 2 is the rare sequel that fully replaced its original. The Sniper and Necromancer turned a linear collecting round into a combinatorial one, where the order in which specials fire changes the outcome by orders of magnitude, and chasing a persistent-symbol start became the format’s defining thrill. Later entries would raise the cap and multiply the mechanics, but the 96.40% RTP, the clean symbol roster, and the 98% buy keep this the best-balanced version of the Money Cart. If one game explains why the franchise dominated its era, it is this one.
