Money Train 2 — Game Overview
Money Train 2 is a high-variance Wild West heist slot from Relax Gaming, released in 2020 as a sequel to the original Money Train from 2019. The game runs on a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 40 paylines and a stylised train robbery setting rendered in a dark, graphic-novel aesthetic. Where the original introduced the persistent collector bonus concept, the sequel significantly deepened it by adding three new Wild types that interact with one another inside the bonus round.
Relax Gaming positioned Money Train 2 as their flagship high-volatility title, and the reception confirmed the strategy. The game received widespread praise from slot review communities and quickly became a reference point for bonus round design in the high-variance segment. The four Wild types — Collector, Payer, Sniper, and Necromancer — each operate differently within the Money Cart bonus, and their interactions create a bonus round that plays out differently on almost every trigger, maintaining engagement across repeated sessions in a way that single-mechanic bonus rounds do not.
The Money Cart Bonus is the game's centrepiece. It is triggered by landing three or more bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. Once active, the reels fill with coin symbols carrying cash values, while the Wild characters move across the grid collecting, duplicating, or multiplying those values. The Collector gathers coin values from adjacent positions; the Payer seeds new coins; the Sniper targets specific high-value positions; and the Necromancer revives expired Wilds, extending their active duration and the overall length of the bonus sequence. Maximum win is capped at 50,000× the bet.
