It's not for nothing that Relax Gaming's monster Money Train 2 was voted Bigwinboard's Slot of the year in 2023 by players. Every now and then the Beast wakes up to remind us how it got to the top position.
Piece of evidence A is this colossal victory of a player in Finland who blew the dNZDen off the galley to produce a stunning result. It's been an impressive year for big wins overall, with epic hits from all types of games. But there is epic, and there is epic with the capital ‘E’.
This one starts with a larger than normal bonus purchase of $500 to start the Money Cart round, which means a basic bet of $5 since the bonus costs 100x. A quick recap If you happen to be new to Money Train 2. When money symbols or special symbols land, they are locked in place on the reels and reset the spin counter to 3. This continues until the spins run out, or as in this case, the win cap is hit.
A Persistent Payer modifier is served on the very first spin, which is easily one of the most useful symbols in the entire game. This adds its value to every other symbol on each subsequent spin.
A few spins later, the value of the Persistent Payer is increased by The Collector Payer modifier, and it starts spraying 786x the bet on every other symbol in the picture and that on every spin from that moment on. It's almost surreal when Money Train 2 reaches this kind of level, and the 383x won so far in the clip immediately explodes to 22,757 x.
From that point on, the game reaches its winning maximum on the next spin. It's interesting how often developers throw around huge numbers regarding potential and then their games struggle or never manage to achieve them. Then you have others like Money Train 2, which do it with ease, leaving you wondering if the cap wasn't in place just how ridiculous it could get.
Speaking of which, some bonus rounds deliver a great spin where the Stars line up to produce a potential busting combination. Money Train 2, on the other hand, is like a runaway freight train that hits a downward slope and is unstoppable as it winds up when fortune awaits you, of course. In this case, fortune smiles at you with a value of $250,000 and whether you define this as 50,000 x the base bet or 5,000 x the bonus purchase price tag, it's an immense collection.
Once again, Money Train 2 reminds us that there is absolutely nothing similar on the market. It may be a hold&win game at heart, albeit a thoroughly embellished one, but that's the same as saying that New York is an ordinary city, or that the Beatles were just a group of musicians from Liverpool. Like those two, Money Train 2 exudes star quality, making it shine brighter than most.
