📖 Detailed Explanation
The Money Cart Bonus Round in Money Train 3 is triggered by landing 3 or more bonus symbols anywhere on the reels, with persistent gold symbols able to substitute for them.
Once activated, the triggering symbols become sticky, reveal values (as multipliers of the bet), and award 3 respins. Each time a new bonus or special symbol lands, the respin counter resets to 3, allowing for potentially extended play with accumulating sticky symbols.
During the bonus, the grid can expand up to 2 times, adding extra rows or reels to increase symbol positions and opportunities for special interactions like collectors, snipers, and payers.
Seven special symbols enhance the round, including:
- Collector: Gathers values from all visible symbols and adds to its own.
- Sniper: Doubles values on 3-8 other symbols.
- Collector-Payer: Adds values from 3-5 targets to itself, then pays out to them.
- Necromancer: Revives 2-7 used non-persistent symbols.
- Absorber: Removes normal bonus symbols (spares specials).
- Tommy Gun variants: Double or add values to random symbols multiple times.
Persistent versions of some symbols (e.g., gold) carry effects across spins, and a random persistent symbol may be assigned at the start. The round ends when respins exhaust or the win cap is hit.
