Money Train Slot: Rules, Features and Australian Availability

Money Train slot overview

Money Train uses a five-reel, four-row layout. Its base game evaluates wins across 40 fixed paylines, while its main bonus uses a different set of value-bearing symbols.

The figures below describe the original release or, where noted, the version covered by Danske Spil’s game rules. Check the information screen for the specific game you are viewing rather than assuming every version has the same settings.

Numbered titles in the series are separate games. For example, Money Train 5 is a later release, so its features and rules should not be assumed to apply to the 2019 original.

• Provider and release: Relax Gaming, 2019.
• Base layout: Five reels and four rows.
• Paylines: 40 fixed lines, all active in the documented rules.
• RTP: 96.20% in the version described by Danske Spil.
• Volatility: High, according to Relax Gaming’s launch announcement.
• Maximum potential win: 20,000 times the round bet.

How the original Money Train is played

A payline is a designated path across the reels on which matching symbols are evaluated. In the documented version, all 40 lines are active on each spin, and qualifying combinations are read consecutively from the leftmost reel. Matching symbols elsewhere on the grid do not automatically form a winning line.

Before a spin, choose a total stake and consult the game’s paytable and information screen. The bet level is locked once the spin begins. Available stake controls and limits should be checked in the particular version; no universal range has been established here.

A wild can substitute for symbols in payline wins. The paytable explains which combinations qualify and what they pay, so it is worth checking that screen rather than relying on a table for a sequel or another configuration.

Only the highest-paying qualifying combination on each individual line is paid. If two different paylines each produce a win, their respective line awards are added together. That differs from paying every overlapping combination on the same line.

Money Train slot features: the Money Cart bonus

In the documented rules for the original game, Money Cart starts when bonus symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. The triggering symbols reveal values expressed as multiples of the bet.

The feature begins with three spins. Qualifying new symbols reset the remaining-spin counter, giving the feature more opportunity to continue. Tumbleweed is an exception: it has no value and does not reset the counter.

For example, a qualifying symbol landing during the feature resets the counter to three. If a tumbleweed lands instead, it does not provide that reset. The outcome still depends on what appears during the feature; a reset is not a promise of a particular award.

The bonus values and symbol actions described below are separate from the ordinary left-to-right payline evaluation in the base game. A secondary review describes additional feature-ending conditions, but the examined operator rules do not spell out all of them; check the applicable game information for the complete terms.

What the Money Cart symbols do

The original-game rules distinguish between symbols that add value to others and symbols that collect values into themselves. They also describe persistent versions that repeat an action on subsequent spins.

Consider a simplified example in which a Payer has a value of 2. It adds 2 to each other visible symbol. A Collector works in the other direction: it adds the other visible values to its own. The number in this example is illustrative and is not a prediction of a feature award.

A persistent symbol repeats its specified action on the spin when it lands and on following spins. The persistent versions do not add to or collect their own value, respectively. The exact state of the feature therefore matters when considering the result.

The Widener is different again: it reveals a value and opens another reel. The documented rules say that up to two additional reels can open during the bonus.

• Money Safe: Reveals a value.
• Payer: Adds its value to the other visible symbols.
• Collector: Adds visible values to its own value.
• Persistent Payer: Adds its value on the landing spin and following spins, but does not pay itself.
• Persistent Collector: Collects visible values on the landing spin and subsequent spins, but does not collect its own value.
• Widener: Reveals a value and opens an additional reel.
• Tumbleweed: Has no value and does not reset the spin counter.

Was there a Money Train Buy Feature?

Relax Gaming’s original launch announcement confirms that the game included a Buy Feature. Whether such an option appears in a particular version can depend on the version and jurisdiction.

The primary rules examined do not establish a feature-buy price or a separate feature-buy RTP, so neither is quoted here. Buying a feature should not be treated as a way to improve or guarantee an outcome.

RTP, volatility and the maximum potential win

RTP, or return to player, is the theoretical proportion of money wagered that is returned as prizes over the long run. Danske Spil’s rules state an RTP of 96.20% for the version they describe. That is not confirmation that every Money Train configuration has the same figure.

At 96.20%, the theoretical long-run return is $96.20 for every $100 wagered. This is an illustration of the rate, not a refund or a prediction of what an individual will receive. A player’s result in a session can differ substantially, and repeated wagering does not guarantee a return close to that figure.

Relax Gaming described the original as high volatility. In practical terms, results can vary sharply and extended losing periods are possible. A long losing spell does not mean a large win is due.

The stated maximum potential win is 20,000 times the round bet. It is a theoretical maximum, not an expected result or an outcome a player can make happen through timing or a particular sequence of bets. The sources examined do not establish its probability.

When comparing a game description with an actual game screen, confirm both the title and the stated RTP. The rules for a numbered sequel, or for a different version of the original, may not match the information shown elsewhere.

Money Train in Australia: real-money access and free demos

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) identifies online pokies as prohibited online gambling services. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 restricts the provision and advertising of relevant services to people in Australia.

A website that loads or accepts Australian visitors is not, by itself, evidence that its real-money pokies service can lawfully be provided to people in Australia. An Australian licence for a wagering service is not proof that an operator is authorised to offer online pokies.

ACMA also warns that customers of illegal operators may have limited protection if treated unfairly or if winnings are withheld. The guidance cited here concerns service provision and advertising; it should not be read as a claim that merely opening a webpage is a criminal offence for a player.

The legal guidance can change. ACMA has reported reforms in 2026, most scheduled to commence on 1 January 2027. Readers should check its current guidance rather than assume that a future change is already in effect.

A third-party page advertises a Money Train slot demo, but the research available for this guide did not verify that it launches, its conditions or whether it can be accessed from Australia. A genuine demo uses play money rather than real-money wagers and winnings; its terms and commercial context still matter. The general distinction between free play and real-money gambling is not legal clearance for a particular demo.

For confidential support, the National Gambling Helpline is available free, 24 hours a day, on 1800 858 858. The Department of Social Services also links to Gambling Help Online for online counselling and self-help. BetStop covers participating Australian-licensed online and phone wagering services; it does not automatically block illegal offshore casinos.

FAQ

Is Money Train available to play in Australia?

Real-money online pokies services must not be provided to people in Australia. A third-party page advertises free play, but the research for this guide did not establish that a particular demo loads in Australia. A reachable website is not proof that a real-money service is lawfully provided.

What is the Money Train slot RTP?

Danske Spil’s rules state 96.20% for the version they describe. That is a theoretical long-run measure, not a prediction of an individual session, and it has not been verified as the rate for every configuration. Check the relevant game’s information screen.

Is there a free Money Train slot demo?

A third-party page advertises a demo, but its actual launch, conditions and Australian accessibility were not verified. A genuine demo uses play money, although the surrounding website’s terms and commercial context still matter.

How does the Money Cart bonus start?

In the documented original game, bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 trigger Money Cart. It starts with three spins, and qualifying new symbols reset the counter. Tumbleweed has no value and does not provide a reset.

What is the maximum Money Train win?

Relax Gaming states a maximum potential win of 20,000 times the round bet for the original game. This is a theoretical maximum, not an expected or guaranteed result. Its probability was not established in the sources examined.

Can previous spins predict when Money Train will pay?

Past results do not tell a player when the next win will occur, and a win is not due after a series of losses. The published RTP is a long-run theoretical measure, not a spin-by-spin forecast.
