Relax Gaming makes slots for people who can sit through a lot of nothing. Every game we scored is high or very high volatility, six of them list max wins of about 50,000x or more, and the bonus rounds are some of the best-designed anywhere. Money Train 2 is the reason a lot of players know the name.
It didn't start as a slot studio. Relax's about page says Patrik Österåker and Jani Tekoniemi founded it, and the timeline there runs through poker, bingo and a casino platform for partner studios before the in-house games arrive.
The flip side of those big numbers: Relax's own game pages list 90% RTP versions for German players on most of these games. Over the long run, that's almost three times the cost of a 96.4% version. We'll get to it.
Eight games scored, ranked below. Most of the headline RTPs come from slotcatalog, because Relax's own pages publish bets, max win and the lower settings, but not the top figure.

The 8 best Relax Gaming slots, ranked
Every Relax Gaming slot we scored, in Spin Score order. Spin Score = 40% RTP, 15% max win, 30% free spins round, 15% base game. How we score
The bonus scores 10, our maximum. The Money Cart is a three-respin hold-and-win where Collector, Payer, Sniper and Necromancer symbols collect, add and multiply values, and the grid grows when reels fill. Relax lists a 50,000x max win. RTP 96.4% per slotcatalog, with a 90% German version on Relax's page. Hit frequency 19.55%, roughly one win in five spins. The 100x bonus buy isn't sold in the UK. Our Money Train 2 guide covers it all.

The biggest ceiling here: 150,000x, per Relax. This one ends the series with a 6x6 scatter-pays base game and a Money Cart that starts on 6x4 and unlocks rows, with the Arms Dealer, Upgrader, Unlocker and Reset among more than 20 features. It's second rather than first because of RTP: 96.1% per slotcatalog, and a UK GameID ending in _92 suggests a 92% UK version. Slotcatalog rates it 5 out of 5 on Relax's volatility scale.

The middle sequel adds persistent characters to the Money Cart: the Shapeshifter, Absorber and Tommy Gun keep acting on every respin. Max win 100,000x per Relax. Its RTP habit is the worst-documented of the three: Relax's page lists a 94% alternative and a 90% German version alongside the 96.1% slotcatalog gives, plus a UK GameID suggesting 92%. Four bonus buy levels, including a 500x persistent option. Skip that one. The base game is mostly waiting.

The best-balanced Relax game. A 6x6 grid with 46,656 ways, cascades, and countdown mystery symbols on every spin. Key symbols fill a 2,000-key meter that unlocks Super Free Spins, where mystery symbols reveal at once. You choose Mixed or Lockdown mode: slotcatalog lists 96.46% RTP for Mixed and 96.30% for Lockdown. Max win 51,840x per slotcatalog. Highest top RTP of the eight.

The Trail Bonus is a board game: you move 1 to 9 steps and each tile adds a multiplier, a collector, a coin win, or ends the run. It's a fun idea and scores 8. In the base game, coins on three or more reels pay a cash award, and that's about all. Max win 50,000x per Relax, RTP 96.29% per slotcatalog, German version 90%. Bonus buy at 100x, not in the UK.

A heist slot made with CasinoGrounds. Three bonus symbols open free spins and you pick one of three modes: sticky mystery symbols, expanding respin wilds, or progressive multiplier wilds, each with different volatility. That choice is good design. The base game is weak, mostly bonus-symbol instant wins of 20x to 2,000x. Max win 49,998.9x per Relax. RTP 96.2% per slotcatalog; 90% in Germany.

The Megaways one. Wins tumble and break stone blocks to open more of the 6x6 grid, up to 46,656 ways, which keeps the base game lively. Free spins offer three paths: more spins, multipliers with extra spins, or bigger multipliers alone. The max win is what holds it back: 7,767x per slotcatalog, small for Relax. RTP 96.25%, with a 90% German version and a UK GameID suggesting 92%.

Last of the eight, and a weird one in a good way. Snake and knight symbols are wilds on a 5x5 grid, and in free spins the snake chases knights, growing and leaving wilds until it blocks itself. Random Wild Chase can turn whole reels wild in the base game. The max win is 2,758.8x per Relax, the lowest here by far. RTP 96.25%. Hit frequency isn't published.

What Relax Gaming is known for
Bonus rounds. The three Money Train games score 10 on the bonus factor, the maximum, and nothing else in our dataset does better. Hold-and-win respins with character symbols that act on each other are the house idea, and Relax keeps adding characters with each sequel.
The base games are the price. Five of the eight score 5 or lower on base game. You spend most spins waiting.
Max wins are huge: 49,998.9x to 150,000x on six games, with only Temple Tumble Megaways and Snake Arena below 10,000x. Volatility is high or very high across the board. There is no low-volatility Relax slot in our records.
Hit frequency sits around 19% to 28% where it's published. Most spins lose.
Relax's RTP settings: the 90% problem
Credit where it's due: Relax prints its lower settings on its own game pages. Most studios don't.
What it prints is not great news. Six of the eight games list a German RTP of 90%: Money Train 2, Money Train 3, Dead Man's Trail, Iron Bank, Temple Tumble Megaways and Snake Arena. Money Train 3 also lists a 94% alternative. Three games (Money Train 3, Money Train 4, Temple Tumble) have UK GameIDs ending in _92, which suggests a 92% UK version.
Here's the cost in plain terms. At 96.4%, the long-run average loss is 3.6% of everything you stake. At 90% it's 10%. Same game, same bonus round, close to three times the price.
Bought bonuses are a different number again. Slotcatalog lists 98% for the bought bonus on Money Train 2 and Dead Man's Trail, and 97% for Iron Bank's free spins or bought bonus. A higher RTP on a buy doesn't make it a good deal: you're paying 100x your stake per go for a round that's still negative on average.
Check the info screen before you play. Our RTP guide shows where to look.
Should you use the bonus buy?
I'd say no. Bonus buys on these games cost 70x (Snake Arena, per slotcatalog) to 500x (Money Train 3's persistent option). On a high-volatility game, one bought bonus can return a fraction of its price, and often does.
They aren't offered in the UK on Money Train 2, 3 and 4, Dead Man's Trail or Iron Bank. Elsewhere, availability depends on the market. Our bonus buy slots page goes through the maths.
How to pick a Relax slot
If you want the Money Cart, start with Money Train 2. It has the highest top RTP of the series at 96.4%, and the bonus is just as good.
Want something busier on ordinary spins? Hellcatraz or Temple Tumble Megaways. Both cascade, and Hellcatraz's mystery symbols fire constantly.
And set the budget before you open any of them. With hit rates near one in five and bonuses that can take a long time to land, a small balance can disappear before you see a single feature. That's normal for these games, not bad luck. Pick a stake small enough to last, and see our high volatility page for how these games behave.
