Money Cart Demo & review

In Money Cart a spin either lands three Bonus symbols or pays nothing, because the whole game is its re-spin round. This is the first game to carry the name, released by Relax Gaming in December 2021, a few months after Money Cart 2 had launched in the UK, and it is the simplest of the four: five special symbols, a Widener that adds reels, and the series' lowest cap. It suits players who want to learn the Money Cart round before chasing a bigger one.

How Money Cart works

Five reels of four rows, no paylines, and no win anywhere outside the re-spins. Every value is shown in coins, and a bet buys ten of them, so one coin is 0.10 at $1. An ordinary Bonus symbol reveals 1 to 10.

Three or more Bonus symbols anywhere start the round. They reveal their values, the counter starts at 3, and every new symbol that lands puts it back to 3. When the counter runs out, everything on the cart is added up and paid. A round can also end early: once both extra reels are open and every position holds a symbol, the re-spins stop.

Re-spin symbols: what stays and what resets

Besides the plain Bonus coin, five specials can land in the round:

The ordinary Payer and Collector act once and then sit as values. Only the two Persistent symbols keep working, so they decide what a round is worth: a Persistent Payer that lands early lifts every coin again on each re-spin that follows, including coins that arrive later.

By the rules, the gap between the two kinds is wide. A Payer worth 2 coins that lands on a cart holding five coins adds 2 to each of them, once. A Persistent Payer of the same value does it on the spin it lands and again on every later one, so if the round runs five more re-spins, those five coins gain 60 between them.

Our session put that on screen. The round from spin 41 gathered only 7 coins in 9 re-spins, but one of them was a Persistent Payer, and it closed on 54 coins. The round from spin 69 ran 32 re-spins and filled a seven-reel cart with 22 coins, and with no persistent symbol it finished on 48.

How the Widener grows the cart

A Widener reveals a coin value like any Bonus symbol and then opens a reel beside the grid, two at most, for seven reels in all. Extra reels add positions, not value: they give coins more places to land and push back the full-cart ending. Wideners were our most common special, and they widened the cart in several rounds.

RTP, volatility and max win

The rules put the return at 98.00%, the highest figure in the Money Cart series, which Money Cart 2 matches. Neither the rules nor Relax's game page names a volatility, and review sites agree on High, though one lists it as Medium.

A round can pay at most 20,000 coins, the equivalent of 2,000x the bet in the rules. There is no multiplier anywhere in this game, so the route toward the cap runs through the two Persistent symbols together: the Payer lifting every coin on each re-spin and the Collector gathering the lifted values, on a cart a Widener has made wider.

Which Money Cart is this?

This is the first Money Cart by name, not by date: Money Cart 2 reached UK players first. It also has the shortest symbol list in the family, with nothing that doubles, revives or converts other symbols.

Our Money Cart demo test

The round came often and stayed small. Nine re-spin rounds landed, about one every eleven spins, and they paid every cent we won. Most coins revealed 1 to 3, a single Collector appeared all session, and the best round, from spin 99, finished on 86 coins with two Payers and two Wideners on the cart. The Persistent Collector never landed, so its part of this page comes from the rules. The rounds also ran long, from 9 to 32 re-spins each, since every new coin reset the counter whether it added much or not. Nine rounds are a look at the feature's habits, and they cannot measure what it returns.

Is Money Cart worth playing?

For a player learning the Money Cart round, yes; for a max-win hunter, no. With only five specials you can follow every action in a round, and the return in the rules is as high as the series goes. The ceiling is the cost, and so is the dead time: a spin without three Bonus symbols does nothing at all.

Pick Money Cart 4 if you want the deep end of the series, with rows that unlock, twenty specials and a cap many times higher. Choose Money Cart for the higher RTP and a round small enough to read symbol by symbol.

In the demo, watch what the first Persistent Payer does to the TOTAL board over its next two or three re-spins. That jump is the whole case for this game.
