Every Money Train game in order
The series has the original, four numbered sequels, the Origins prequel and Slingo Money Train, plus the arcade game Money Plane. Release dates come from Relax Gaming announcements and independent reviews.
Money Train
The original. A Wild West heist on a 5x4 grid that introduced the Money Cart respin bonus, persistent Payers and Collectors, and a 20,000x cap.
Money Train 2
Steampunk sequel with base-game respins, Sniper, Necromancer and Golden Bonus symbols, a 500x full-grid prize and a 50,000x cap. BigWinBoard Game of the Year 2020, CasinoBeats Slot of the Year 2021.
Money Train 3
Futuristic setting, Absorber, Tommy Gun and Shapeshifter symbols, four bonus buy options and a 100,000x cap. More than eight max wins in its first two weeks.
Slingo Money Train
A licensed Slingo game by Gaming Realms that combines bingo-style number marking with a respin bonus based on Money Train 2.
Money Train Origins Dream Drop
A Wild West prequel with Relax's Dream Drop jackpots, the Banker and Healer symbols and a 1,000x full-grid prize.
Money Train 4
A 6x6 scatter-pays reinvention with more than 20 bonus features and a record 150,000x cap, billed as the gang's last stand.
Money Plane
Relax's first arcade-style game, set in the Money Train universe, with five volatility levels and a 97% RTP.
Money Train 5
A surprise return: stations bonus, Nuclear Wild, Standard and Ultra modes up to 100,000x, and seven buy options.
The Money Cart family
The bonus-only Money Cart slots are a separate Relax series built on the same respin bonus. They don't carry the Money Train name, so we list them apart from the main timeline.
Money Cart 2
The first of the series: Money Train 2's bonus as a game of its own, at 98% RTP.
Money Cart
The original Money Train bonus with Collector, Payer and Widener, also at 98% RTP.
Money Cart 3
Money Train 3's symbols at 96% RTP with a 10,000x cap.
Money Cart 4
Money Train 4's 6x8 frame and features at 96% RTP with a 15,000x cap.
Money Sleigh
A Christmas reskin of Money Cart 3, with Santa as the Necromancer.
How the series evolved
Four trends run through the whole series: higher ceilings, new ways to grow the grid, more persistent symbols and more ways to buy the bonus.
