Money Train 5: Across the Wasteland

Money Train 5 is a Relax Gaming video slot released on 24 September 2026, set on a train crossing a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It plays on a 5x4 grid with 40 paylines, and Relax classes the payout mechanic as Lines.

The game comes in two modes. Relax gives the max win as 50,000x the bet in Standard Mode and 100,000x in Ultra Mode, with a different maximum stake in each.

The cast mixes returning favourites with three new characters Relax names: the Ticket Master, the Bomber and the Pyromancer. The base game's headline feature is the Nuclear Wild, and the bonus round is built around a train moving from station to station.

Relax Gaming publishes the max win as up to 50,000x the bet in Standard Mode, rising to 100,000x in Ultra Mode. As simple arithmetic only, 50,000x on the €20.00 Standard maximum and 100,000x on the €10.00 Ultra maximum both come to €1,000,000, assuming no separate cash cap applies; Relax's page does not mention one.

Relax does not print an RTP or a volatility rating for Money Train 5. Its game page lists alternative game IDs instead: moneytrain5_94 and moneytrain5_90, a UK ID, moneytrain5_92, and a German ID, moneytrain5_86. The studio does not explain those suffixes, so they are not presented here as return figures. Read the RTP from the help screen of the version you open.

With no volatility rating published, this page does not give one. Relax's own words are relentless progression and explosive potential, which describe the intent rather than a measured figure.

The two modes are the first thing to understand about Money Train 5. Relax lists the stakes as Standard mode: €0.10, Ultra mode: €0.10 for the minimum, and Standard mode: €20.00, Ultra mode: €10.00 for the maximum.

So both modes start at the same €0.10, Ultra Mode tops out at half the Standard maximum, and Ultra Mode carries double the max win multiplier. Relax's page does not say anything else about how the modes differ, such as whether Ultra changes the symbols, the features or the cost of a spin.

That gap matters when choosing a mode. Until the rules screen explains it, the safe reading is the published one: same minimum, lower maximum stake, higher top multiplier.

The Nuclear Wild is the base game feature Relax highlights. The studio says it can trigger on any spin, locks onto reels and then detonates into full wild reels.

On a 5x4 grid with 40 paylines, a full wild reel covers all four positions on that reel, so it can take part in many lines at once. Relax does not say how many reels the Nuclear Wild can lock onto in one spin, or whether the detonation happens on the same spin or a later one.

Those two details decide whether the feature is a frequent small boost or an occasional big one, so they are the first things to look for in the paytable.

Landing 3 or more Bonus symbols starts the bonus round. Relax says each Bonus symbol adds a multiplier and 3 spins, and that new symbols reset the spins, which keeps the round going for as long as fresh symbols keep arriving.

Ticket symbols are the new layer. According to Relax, they push the train forward through stations, carrying it deeper across the wasteland toward a final destination. The studio does not say how many stations there are, what reaching each one does or what waits at the end of the line.

Relax also does not describe what the Ticket Master, Bomber and Pyromancer do, or whether they appear in the base game, the bonus round or both. The game page names them and nothing more, so check the paytable for each one.

Relax publishes a fun-mode demo of Money Train 5 that runs on play credits. It is the best way to answer the questions the game page leaves open.

Start with the mode switch and what Ultra Mode changes beyond the stake limits. Then read the Nuclear Wild rules, the multiplier values a Bonus symbol can carry, and what each station on the track does. Look up the three new characters in the paytable, and note the RTP stated for the version you have loaded.

Relax's page does not mention a bonus buy, so this review does not claim one exists. If the demo offers one, the rules screen will show its price and which mode it applies to.

Money Train 5 is built for players who want a long bonus round with progress they can see: the respin count resets with each new symbol and the train moves forward with each Ticket. On paper, Ultra Mode doubles the ceiling to 100,000x while halving the top stake to €10.00.

The open questions are the maths ones: the RTP version, the volatility and what Ultra Mode changes. Settle those in the game's rules rather than assuming them.
