Money Train 2 Review: The Sequel That Stacked Bonus Features Into a High-Volatility Legend

Most sequels just tweak the graphics or dial up the difficulty. Money Train 2 from Relax Gaming went the other way — stacking new features into its bonus round until the sequel became a more complex game with a much higher payout ceiling than the original.

Theme and layout

The board is a 5x4 grid with 40 paylines, built around a wild-west train-heist theme with a steampunk edge. Symbols are outlaw characters and card symbols framed in brass, and the overall tone is darker and grittier than most western-themed slots — which lines up with the game's very high volatility.

The mechanic that made it stand out

Money Train 2's main selling point is its bonus round, triggered by 3 scatter symbols. During the bonus free spins, special symbols drop in at random and stick on the board — each type does something different: multiplier symbols that boost their own value, Collector symbols that absorb the value of every cash-prize symbol on the board, and symbols that convert other symbols into matching types. The more special symbols pile up, the more the round's total multiplier compounds. The game also offers a feature buy option for players who don't want to wait for scatters to land naturally.

Who it suits

With very high volatility and a base game that pays out little on its own, Money Train 2 suits players with a bankroll built for long-term risk who understand the bonus might not trigger often — but when it does, the payout ceiling is far above a typical slot. It's not a fit for players who want consistent wins to sustain a long session.

The takeaway

Money Train 2 is a good example of a sequel that didn't just repaint the surface — it redesigned the bonus system entirely and became one of the studio's most talked-about high-volatility titles. Check the details on the game page, or browse more titles from Relax Gaming.
