Upcoming Games
Relax Gaming has announced they will be releasing Money Train 5 on the 24th of September 2026. Whilst we do not know what Relax Gaming will have in store, they confirmed that Money Train 5 will lean even harder into risk, volatility and the pursuit of big moments. Below are a couple of quotes from key figures at Relax Gaming:
There aren’t many franchises in iGaming that genuinely create anticipation before they’re even announced. Money Train is one of them. This isn’t a ‘safe’ sequel. The goal wasn’t to repeat what worked – it was to evolve it into something that feels deeper, more unpredictable, and ultimately more rewarding for the players who are chasing those standout sessions. That's why we believe players will love this new instalment.
When you’re creating a sequel to one of the best series ever made in slot history, expectations are high. We knew that if we brought Money Train back, it had to be for the right reasons – and it had to raise the bar again. Bigger, riskier and more unpredictable. That’s exactly what players can expect.
I've also reviewed 3 slots from Pragmatic Play and ELK Studios:
