Relax Gaming confirms Money Train 5 launch for September 2026
Relax Gaming has announced Money Train 5, the latest entry in its Money Train slot franchise, with a release date set for 24 September 2026.
The company said the reveal follows a teaser campaign that prompted industry speculation about the next instalment.
“There aren’t many franchises in iGaming that genuinely create anticipation before they’re even announced. Money Train is one of them,” said Tony O’Mahony, Chief Product Officer at Relax Gaming.
“This isn’t a ‘safe’ sequel. The goal wasn’t to repeat what worked – it was to evolve it into something that feels deeper, more unpredictable, and ultimately more rewarding for the players who are chasing those standout sessions. That’s why we believe players will love this new instalment.”
Martin Stålros, CEO at Relax Gaming, added: “When you’re creating a sequel to one of the best series ever made in slot history, expectations are high. We knew that if we brought Money Train back, it had to be for the right reasons – and it had to raise the bar again. Bigger, riskier and more unpredictable. That’s exactly what players can expect.”

Reflex Gaming launches Dublin Up Pots O’ Gold via Yggdrasil Masters
Reflex Gaming has launched Dublin Up Pots O’ Gold, a sequel to its Dublin Up title, available now through the Yggdrasil Masters program. Reflex announced the release on 4 June 2026.
The slot is powered by Yggdrasil’s DoubleMax GEM and uses a pop-and-drop cascade mechanic. Reflex said the game is a high-volatility title with a “high hit rate” and win potential of up to 10,000x the base stake. In the base game, the DoubleMax multiplier increases with each cascade and resets after any losing spin; in Free Spins it carries across the full feature.
A randomly triggered Fairy Modifier can remove symbols to initiate a cascade that “always results in a win,” according to the company. The game also adds “Pots O’ Gold” prizes, where Pot symbols pay in view across consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel. Values range from 0.1x to 10x on the first four reels, while the fifth reel can unlock MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, MAXI and GRAND prizes of 5x, 10x, 25x, 100x and 1,000x respectively.
Free Spins trigger when three, four or five Bonus Scatter symbols land or cascade into view. Reflex said players hitting three or four scatters are presented with a gamble option — “collect now or spin for more” — before the feature begins.
Mat Ingram, CPO at Reflex Gaming, said: “Dublin Up has been a consistent performer for us, so with Pots O’ Gold we wanted to build on what already works and give it a genuine upgrade.
“The DoubleMax mechanic creates incredible tension as the multiplier climbs, and the Pots feature adds a different kind of win moment that sits alongside the cascades really well. Combine that with the Fairy Modifier bringing a bit of magic to the base game, and you have a slot that is engaging from the very first spin right through to a Free Spins bonus with serious potential. We are confident it will resonate strongly across markets.”
