Money Cart: The Money Train Spin-Offs Explained

Money Cart is Relax Gaming’s answer to a simple idea: skip straight to the bonus round. Where every numbered Money Train slot makes you play a base game until three or more scatters trigger the Money Cart feature, Money Cart, Money Cart 2, Money Cart 3 and Money Cart 4 remove that step entirely — each one consists of the Money Train bonus round only, with no base game in front of it. You buy in, and the hold-and-win grid starts immediately. Beyond that core family, Relax Gaming has also carried the Money Train name into a Christmas release, a Slingo title and, most recently, a crash-style arcade game.

What “the bonus round only” actually means

Across the numbered Money Train series, the Money Cart bonus is a hold-and-win round: a grid of positions locks in place, a limited number of respins keeps it alive, and special symbols — Payer, Collector, Sniper, Necromancer and others depending on the game — add value, multiply it or collect it into a single total before the respins run out. Reaching that round in the main series means playing a conventional base game first: spinning reels or scatter combinations until enough bonus symbols land. The Money Cart spin-offs strip that lead-in away entirely. There’s no base game to sit through and no scatter trigger to wait for — the round the series built its reputation on is the whole game.

Why buy straight into the bonus

Buying straight into a bonus round changes the shape of a session, not the odds behind it. A numbered Money Train slot’s base game paces out the spend: spins that trigger nothing are still part of the cost of eventually reaching the bonus. A game that is nothing but the bonus round removes that pacing, so it spends your stake many times faster than an equivalent base-game session would. That isn’t a flaw — it’s the entire point of the format — but it means a Money Cart session can burn through a budget faster than the same time spent on Money Train 2 or Money Train 3, and it deserves exactly the same budget and time limit as any other spin.

Money Sleigh, Slingo Money Train and Money Plane

Relax Gaming has stretched the Money Train brand beyond the numbered series and the Money Cart bonus-only games in a few other directions. Money Sleigh carries the branding into a Christmas-themed release. Slingo Money Train exists as a separate release, outside both the numbered series and the Money Cart bonus-only games. And Money Plane, announced in July 2026, moves furthest from the original formula: it’s a crash-style arcade game rather than a hold-and-win slot. None of these three carry the RTP, max win or symbol data this site tracks for the numbered games and the Money Cart spin-offs, so we’re not attaching specifics to them here — treat this section as a map of the family tree rather than a review.

Where the numbers actually live

If you want hit frequencies, RTP or max win figures, they live on the reviews for the numbered games, not here. Every special symbol that can appear inside a Money Cart-style bonus — Payer, Collector, Sniper, Necromancer and the rest — is catalogued with what it does and which games carry it in our Money Cart symbols glossary. For the full mechanics of one specific bonus round inside its native game, Money Train 2 is the series’ most-searched entry and a reasonable place to start. And for the numbered series as a whole, from the 2019 original through to Money Train 5, the Money Train hub links every review and demo in one table.

FAQ

Is Money Cart the same as the Money Cart bonus inside Money Train slots?

It uses the same hold-and-win idea — a grid, respins, and special symbols like Payer and Collector adding or collecting value — but as a stand-alone game rather than a feature triggered inside a numbered Money Train slot.

Do Money Cart, Money Cart 2, 3 and 4 have a base game?

No. Each one consists of the Money Train bonus round only; there’s no reels-and-scatters base game to play through first.

What is Money Sleigh?

Money Sleigh is a Christmas-themed spin-off that carries the Money Train branding.

Is Money Plane part of the Money Cart bonus format?

No. Money Plane, announced in July 2026, is a crash-style arcade game rather than a hold-and-win slot, and sits outside the format described on this page.

Where can I find RTP and max win figures for the numbered Money Train games?

Those live on each game’s own review. Start with the series overview for links to every review and demo, or the A–Z of Money Cart symbols for how the bonus symbols themselves work.
