When the game was first released, a lot of suppliers were developing similar style games and Money Train immediately stood out from the crowd, which certainly gave it a welcome boost. We put a lot of the game’s long-term success down to its incredibly engaging mechanics and feature combinations. With so many combinations to hit a max win, most players experience their own story within the game.
sequel's development. We found that these players were quite open and honest about what they liked and didn’t, so we used that feedback as the starting point. With any sequel, there’s a fine line between staying true to the original and creating something entirely new.
Personally, I would say the former is always harder to achieve.
In the case of Money Train 3, we realised that most players weren’t keen on the Payer feature, so we decided to set her up with some bigger values to payout, altering the mechanic slightly to target one symbol rather than spread across of all of them.

I think some of the most obvious improvements we’ve made in Money Train 3 are found within the feature list. We have a new mid-tier set of features with the Tommy Gun Sniper, Tommy Gun Payer and Absorber along with 5 Persistent Features. We know how much our players love chasing the max win, so we also upped the
