Money Train 5 Review: A Massive Letdown and a Wallet Drainer

[No-Play-n-Go]

If you are thinking about stepping aboard Relax Gaming’s latest hyped release, Money Train 5, do yourself a massive favor and save your money. Marketed as the ultimate post-apocalyptic comeback with a jaw-dropping 100,000x max win, this game turns out to be an absolute trap that preys on players through predatory feature-buy pricing.

The Maths is a Complete Joke​

Let’s talk about the numbers, because what I experienced defies logic. Relax Gaming thought it was acceptable to price a bonus buy at a staggering 2,000x your stake.

To test this disaster, I ran 5 separate bonus buys at $0.10, meaning each trigger cost $200 (totalling $1,000 out of pocket). The results?

• Lowest return: $54
• Highest return: $89

Getting less than half of your money back on a 2,000x cost-of-entry buy is beyond insulting—it's highway robbery.

Gameplay & Volatility​

Sure, slots are high variance, and we all know the house always wins in the end. But when a bonus round costs that much to purchase upfront, returning a measly 27% to 44.5% of the buy cost shows just how brutally tuned and unrewarding the game mechanics are. The advertised 100,000x max win feels like an absolute marketing myth designed to sucker people into pumping massive funds into a dead-end bonus trigger.

Final Verdict​

Money Train 5 relies entirely on the legacy of its predecessors to trick players into chasing ghosts. Paying $200 for a bonus that routinely gives back less than $90 is a sick joke.

Save your cash. This is easily the most disappointing, over-hyped slot release of 2026. Stay far away.

So, your whole tantrumanalysis is based on 5 bonus buys worth of data? High X bonusbuy does not automatically mean that every bonus you buy has to be profit. Wouldn't make any logical sense, if that was the case we would all be millionaires, and casinos would go bankrupt within an first hour. If you want a game that returns roughly 80-110% of the buys you do, you should stick to ELK.

Update: 1000% the worst slot ever!! I put another $1,000 a did ultra bonus reels and normal bonus reels (25x and 10x) respectively. It bonuses in about 1 out of every 15-20 rounds and pays on average 50-100x (so 2-10 times what you have bet). You NEVER get the +15 bonus either.

I reiterate for EVERYONE wanting to try this slot. Rather go buy your kids Christmas presents because with all the money you’d be wasting on this slot, relax gaming’s owners will be buying their kids your kids presents!!!
