Money Cart 4

Make way for Money Cart 4 from Relax Gaming, designed as a ‘lite’ version of the popular Money Train 4. Think of it as the quick-access shortcut to the thrill of the original without the hassle of base game waiting around. Created to cater to UK players with stricter rules on bonus buys, Money Cart 4 focuses on frequent bonus action with its classic hold ‘n win feature, though it doesn’t pack the same explosive winning potential as its predecessor. But that’s alright—we’re still in for one wild train ride!

Base Game Details

The action takes place on a 6-reel, 8-row grid, with the top two and bottom two rows initially locked. Hitting spin either lands blanks, bonus scatters, or special symbols, and three or more bonus symbols trigger the respin feature. Bets range from 10c to $/€60 per round, with an RTP of 96% and high volatility to keep things spicy. Unlocking extra rows happens only during the respin round, where four rows can be unlocked, bringing the grid to its full height.

Special Symbols and Features

Once the feature is triggered by landing three symbols, players receive three respins, with each new symbol locking in place and resetting the counter. Symbols reveal their coin value and any special action they may have before the respins start. Here’s the full arsenal:

• Bonus Symbols: Basic symbols that reveal a value between 1 to 10 coins.
• Collector: Gathers all visible coin values and adds them to its own.
• Persistent Collector: Continues collecting all visible coin values at the end of every respin.
• Adjacent Collector: Gathers the values from the eight adjacent symbols.
• Persistent Adjacent Collector: Repeats the adjacent collection on every spin.
• Payer: Reveals a value and adds it to all other symbols.
• Persistent Payer: Adds its value to all symbols on every spin.
• Adjacent Payer: Boosts the adjacent symbols with its own value.
• Persistent Adjacent Payer: Continues boosting adjacent symbols each round.
• Sniper: Doubles the values of 3 to 8 symbols.
• Persistent Sniper: Doubles the same number of symbols on every spin.
• Collector-Payer: Selects 3 to 5 symbols, adds their values to itself, then pays them back the enhanced amount.
• Persistent Collector-Payer: Repeats this action at the end of every spin.
• Arms Dealer: Converts 1 to 4 symbols into special feature symbols.
• Persistent Arms Dealer: Converts 1 symbol at the end of every spin.
• Necromancer: Revives 2 to 7 non-persistent feature symbols.
• Persistent Necromancer: Revives up to 7 symbols at the end of each spin.
• Persistent Shapeshifter: Changes into a different feature symbol on each spin.
• Unlocker: Unlocks a locked row on the grid.
• Reset Plus: Increases the respin count by one.
• Upgrader: Upgrades 1 to 3 feature symbols to their persistent versions.

The Final Verdict

While Money Cart 4 is a diluted version of its bigger sibling, it’s still a lively and entertaining experience, letting players engage with the many quirky special symbols and enjoy their combinations in action. The hold ‘n win mechanic and persistent features offer plenty of opportunities for some sweet multipliers, though the coin system can be a bit confusing for first-timers.
