Money Cart Bonus Reels Review

If you’re familiar with Relax Gaming’s first spin-off effort, Money Cart 2 Bonus Reels, you’ll know exactly what to expect from Money Cart Bonus Reels. Releasing a remake of the first Money Train as a sequel in the Money Cart series is perhaps a bit confusing. However, what you get is basically a stripped down “base game” where the all-important hold-and-win style bonus round triggers every 8 spins on average.

You thus largely escape the base game grind of the original game, while also escaping the bonus buy restrictions found in some jurisdictions. Being able to play with regular stakes instead of paying out your nose for the feature can also be a tempting prospect, but keep in mind that the 2,000x potential is reduced 10 times compared to the original. The 98 % RTP is another strong selling point however, and it’s always nice to have options.

Money Cart Bonus Reels Slot Features

The base game is all about landing those 3+ purple safe bonus symbols you need to trigger the hold-and-win style Bonus Round. You can expect this to happen quite frequently with a hit rate of 12.5 %, as this means that the feature triggers around every 8 spins on average.

The triggering symbols become sticky on the 5x4 starting grid, and you get 3 respins in your tally. The money symbols are worth between 0.1x and 1x your total stake for starters, and each new money symbol you land becomes sticky and resets the respins tally to 3 again.

In addition, you can land 5 unique modifier symbols, and these work as follows:

• Payer - upgrades all money symbols with the random value it reveals.
• Persistent Payer - does the same as the Payer, but the value is now added to all money symbols for each new spin.
• Collector - collects the value from all other symbols in view, and adds the sum to its own original value.
• Persistent Collector - does the same as the Collector, but it now happens on each spin that follows.
• Widener - expands the grid with 1 extra reel, while also holding a value.

The feature comes to an end when you run out of respins, and your total winnings are then summed up and paid. You can also keep track of your total winnings via the counter up in the top-left corner.

The 200 Spins Money Cart Bonus Reels Slot Experience

We’ve included a typical “base game” session at the start of the 3-minute highlights video, and it took us exactly 9 spins to trigger the hold-and-win style Respins feature. The Money Cart round plays out for the remainder of the video, and we landed a persistent payer that took us for a decent value-spraying thrill-ride.

Review Summary

It’s a bit strange to release what amounts to the original Money Cart Bonus Reels well after Money Cart 2 Bonus Reels, but it’s also understandable that Relax Gaming wanted to capitalize and test the waters with their highly popular sequel first. This follow-up prequel follows in the exact same footsteps though, allowing players to escape the base game grind and get the bonus round with a 12.5 % hit frequency.

Of course, the potential is 10 times less than the original also in this installment, so 2,000x your stake is the most you can hope for.

Fans of the original that, for whatever reason, are ineligible to purchase the bonus round now have a viable alternative. The overall superior MC2 Bonus Reels hasn’t seen anywhere near the success of the original MT2 though, so we doubt Money Cart Bonus Reels will make a massive splash compared to when MT was first released.

Pros

• Bonus round every 8 spins on average
• Hold-and-win feature w/ 5 modifiers
• Win up to 2,000x your stake
• RTP of 98 % is very solid

Cons

• Max win is 10x less than in the original MT

If you enjoy Money Cart Bonus Reels Slot you should also try:

Money Cart 2 Bonus Reels - is based around exactly the same concept, only it’s a Money Train 2 spin-off release. The hold-and-win style bonus round triggers very frequently also here, and it comes with 9 modifier symbols and a more solid 5,000x potential.

Money Train 2 - is Relax Gaming’s hard-hitting smash hit, and it comes with a respins multiplier feature in the base game. The main attraction is, of course, the streak respins style Money Cart bonus round, where you’ll benefit from 9 unique modifier symbols and an eye-popping 50,000x potential.

Money Train - is the original Relax Gaming release that has since been overshadowed by the ever-popular follow up title. The bonus feature can be purchased for 80x your stake (not UK), and this gives you the same 98 % RTP as in the game at hand. Of course, the overall max win is 20,000x in this version, which is a significant gap.
