Relax Gaming

Relax Gaming combines its own games with a wider business supplying casino content to operators. The company was founded in March 2010, and its history includes poker, bingo, casino aggregation and in-house slot development. For a player, the useful distinction is between a game developed by Relax Gaming and a game from another studio delivered through the Relax network. Both can appear in the same casino without being the same developer's work.

The Own Games catalogue currently contains 177 distinct game entries. That count includes separately listed Dream Drop versions and table-game titles, rather than representing 177 conventional video slots. Our review collection contains 88 casinos whose recorded supplier inventories include Relax Gaming. Each casino can offer a different selection from the catalogue, so a provider entry in a lobby is a starting point for finding a particular title.

From a technology company to an in-house games studio

Patrik Österåker and Jani Tekoniemi founded Relax Gaming in 2010. Operations began in December 2011, followed by the Tallinn office in January 2012. Poker launched in March 2014, the casino platform in January 2015 and bingo in July of the same year. Those dates explain why the company's history reaches further back than many of the slots now associated with its name.

The Malmö studio opened in September 2016 as casino development and product teams expanded. Malta and Belgrade offices followed in 2018, and the first network casino game launched in October 2018. The same year brought the Powered By and Silver Bullet programmes. The company therefore developed its own releases while building a route for other studios to reach casino operators.

Later milestones include the Stockholm studio and Relax Apex in 2021, the Novi Sad studio and Dream Drop in 2022, and a New Jersey market entry with BetMGM in December 2023. These are different developments within the group: a new office, an integration product, a jackpot network and a market launch each describe a different part of the business. None changes the company's original founding year of 2010.

The active British register entry for Relax Gaming Limited identifies its head office at Level 8, The Centre, Tigne Point, Sliema, Malta. The group also has separately named Gibraltar and North American entities. A supplier's licence needs to be associated with the correct company and jurisdiction, rather than treating every group registration as one universal permission covering every casino account.

Own games and the wider Relax network

The Own Games collection includes the Money Train releases, several Tumble games, Dream Drop editions and table games such as Roulette Nouveau and Blackjack Neo. Counting the entries in that collection gives a useful view of Relax-developed content. Adding every studio distributed through the wider aggregation business would answer a different question and produce a much larger, less meaningful figure for this provider profile.

Silver Bullet is a partnership programme that helps studios bring their games to a distribution network, with support services around delivery and market access. Powered By Relax also connects studio content to the network, while explicitly retaining commercial independence as part of its offering. The name of either programme can appear in business announcements without making every participating game an in-house Relax release.

This matters when using a casino's provider filter. An operator may organise content by the originating studio, the delivery platform or its own lobby categories. Searching for Relax Gaming alone may therefore produce a narrower or broader selection than expected. When a particular game matters, search its complete title and check the developer information shown inside the game or on the casino's game page.

Relax Apex supports the delivery side of that business. The player-facing consequence is that a casino can integrate a range of content through an established supplier relationship. It does not establish that every integrated title is enabled in that casino, that all available versions share the same settings or that every player location has access to the same collection.

Money Train 5: two modes and a moving bonus feature

Money Train 5 uses a five-reel, four-row layout with forty paylines. Its post-apocalyptic setting brings back familiar characters and adds the Ticket Master, Bomber and Pyromancer. The visual connection to earlier Money Train games is clear, while the published rules introduce their own progression and mode limits. The complete title and selected mode are therefore essential parts of any comparison.

The Nuclear Wild feature can trigger on any spin. It locks onto reels and detonates into full wild reels. That describes how the feature changes the reels when it occurs; it does not establish that a trigger is due after a particular number of unsuccessful spins. The animation and character design explain the event visually, while the game rules determine which symbols substitute and how a resulting line win is calculated.

Three or more Bonus symbols trigger the bonus round. Each symbol adds a multiplier and three spins. New symbols reset the spins, while Ticket symbols move the train through stations and further across the wasteland. This gives the feature both a spin-counter element and a progression element. A ticket's job should not be confused with the value attached to an ordinary multiplier symbol.

The two modes have different published limits. Standard Mode has win potential up to 50,000x the bet, while Ultra Mode raises that figure to 100,000x. Both list a minimum stake of EUR 0.10. The maximum stake is EUR 20.00 in Standard Mode and EUR 10.00 in Ultra Mode. A figure shown for one mode should therefore keep its mode label when copied into a comparison.

The higher multiplier in Ultra Mode does not mean that the maximum permitted stake is higher. In the published example it is lower. Nor should either multiplier be read as the likely result of entering the bonus. It is an upper limit within a game's stated configuration. The selected version's information menu remains the place to check the complete conditions before playing.

The product page also lists alternative Game IDs, including distinct UK and German identifiers. Those identifiers demonstrate that the title can be distributed in more than one configuration. An ending in a Game ID should not be converted into a return percentage without an explicit corresponding specification. The information displayed by the actual offered version is the relevant reference for its settings.

Money Train 4: read the features in their own context

Money Train 4 advertises a maximum win of 150,000x the stake and a collection of 20+ features. Its cast includes an Arms Dealer who can exchange Bonus symbols for features. Other named elements include a Respin feature in the base game, an Upgrader that gives features a persistent effect, an Unlocker that opens additional rows and a Reset feature that replenishes the spin counter.

Each of those names describes a different action. Opening more rows changes the feature's available space; refilling the counter changes its remaining opportunities; making an effect persistent changes how long it can operate. They should not be collapsed into a single generic multiplier description. The relationship between a symbol and the active feature explains more than a list of character names alone.

The published stake range for this Money Train 4 product page is EUR 0.10 to EUR 6.00. That is narrower than either of the maximum stakes listed for Money Train 5. It also sits alongside a larger advertised maximum multiplier than Money Train 5's Standard Mode. A numbered sequel therefore cannot be assumed to increase every numerical limit in the same direction.

A casino can offer one Money Train release, several releases or different permitted versions of the same title. Artwork showing the familiar bandits is useful for recognition, but the number in the title and the active mode need a separate check. A description of Money Train 4's persistent effects should not silently become the rules for Money Train 5's station progression.

Ancient Tumble and the Tumble collection

Ancient Tumble takes a different approach to the studio's adventure themes. It uses a Ways payout mechanic and offers five Free Spin modes. Super Free Spins combines the other four modes into one feature. Unbreakable Wilds form part of its published feature description, set within a rainforest and temple setting. Its stated stake range is EUR 0.20 to EUR 100.00.

The five modes are choices or feature states within the game, rather than five separate casino promotions. A casino's promotional free spins can carry their own eligible-game list and wagering terms, while the game's Free Spin modes belong to the title's internal rules. Similar wording in a casino offer and a slot feature does not make their conditions interchangeable.

The wider catalogue contains titles such as Cluster Tumble, Temple Tumble, Treasure Tumble and their separately named editions. Shared wording identifies a family resemblance, while the individual rules establish the payout structure and available features. The word Tumble on its own does not establish a universal reel size, return percentage, stake limit or bonus trigger for the whole collection.

Several releases also have Dream Drop versions listed as separate catalogue entries. Searching only the shorter base title can return a different edition from the one intended. Check whether Dream Drop forms part of the complete name, then read that version's jackpot eligibility and game information. A familiar base-game scene does not by itself confirm participation in a network jackpot.

Dream Drop as a jackpot product

Dream Drop launched in May 2022. Its current product description presents six progressive jackpot levels, including a Daily level alongside Major and Mega. The Daily jackpot is described as dropping three times a day across the Dream Drop network. That means three drops of one level across the network, rather than three additional levels or three guaranteed wins for each player.

Major and Mega use must-drop conditions: the relevant jackpot must fall before its specified threshold. This is a condition attached to the network prize. It does not identify which player will receive it or promise that a particular account will win by remaining in a session. The applicable rules and current jackpot display explain the conditions of the version being offered.

A progressive amount can change as play contributes to the network and after a prize has been awarded. A promotional headline is therefore a poor substitute for the live prize display and its rules. The amount currently visible, the point at which a prize resets and an upper must-drop threshold are different values. Keeping their labels intact is necessary when comparing jackpot information.

Dream Drop's product description also explains that its jackpots reseed after an award and that Relax covers the reseed fees for operators. That is part of how the network operates. It should not be turned into a casino deposit bonus, an individual player's cashback rate or a promised return on a spin. A jackpot product and an operator's promotion describe different conditions.

The historical launch description refers to five tiers, while the current product has six. The added Daily level explains the difference. For a player checking a Dream Drop edition now, the rules and interface supplied with that edition matter more than a description written for the original launch. The catalogue name alone cannot establish whether an older integration has adopted every later product change.

Casino, poker and bingo are separate parts of the range

Relax Gaming's business extends beyond slots. Poker launched before the casino platform, and bingo followed in 2015. The history also includes Hexapro, launched in December 2018 as a poker product. These product lines explain the breadth of the company's supplier activity, while the casino selection on this page remains based on the provider inventories recorded in our casino reviews.

A casino that lists Relax slots does not necessarily offer Relax poker or bingo. Those products can require different operator arrangements, interfaces and player pools. Likewise, the presence of Roulette Nouveau or Blackjack Neo in the Own Games collection should not be taken as evidence that every reviewed casino has enabled those table games. The individual lobby needs to be checked for the product required.

This also affects how the total catalogue figure is interpreted. The 177 entries counted here belong to the public Own Games listing, which includes distinct editions and table-game products. It is not a count of third-party partner games, poker tables, bingo rooms or the total number of casino integrations worldwide. The label beside a number is part of the information, rather than an optional detail.

Licences and supported markets

Relax Gaming Limited holds an active British remote licence recorded as 037462-R-319357-016 under account 37462. The register lists casino, gambling software and bingo activities, with their own activity start dates. The company also lists a Malta Critical Gaming Supply licence, MGA/B2B/246/2013, and supplier registrations or permissions in several other jurisdictions.

Those other published jurisdictions include Ontario, Romania, Greece, Sweden, Denmark and Peru. Separate group entities have registrations in Gibraltar and Pennsylvania. The market table keeps those entities and permissions distinct. For example, a Pennsylvania manufacturer licence belonging to Relax Gaming North America LLC should not be presented as the licence of every casino displaying the Relax logo.

The company also identifies support for regulated markets including Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Estonia, Latvia, Italy and Spain. Supplier market support is one part of bringing a game to a casino. The operator's own licence, terms and location restrictions still govern whether a particular person can register, deposit or play that title at that operator.

Before choosing a casino, use its review to check the account and country rules separately from the supplier information. A provider's permission to supply software cannot settle a player's eligibility at every business using that software. The same applies to game features: a feature purchase, a mode or a jackpot implementation can differ across markets and operator configurations.

Finding the right casino and game version

The 88 casinos listed on this page include Relax Gaming in their recorded supplier inventories. Each entry provides an individual review and a separate casino destination. The review covers matters such as supported currencies, deposit and withdrawal methods, account verification and restrictions. Those operator details remain relevant even when the desired game is already familiar.

For a particular title, use the full name in the casino's search. Money Train 4, Money Train 5 and Money Train Origins are separate entries. Ancient Tumble and a Dream Drop edition also need their complete names. Once the game opens, compare the active mode, stake range and information screen with the intended version before relying on a headline maximum or feature description.

The supplier label is not a promise that all 177 Own Games entries will appear in that lobby. An operator may carry a smaller selection or organise partner content under a different studio heading. A search result for a related title is useful, but it does not establish that the exact version being sought is available. The game title and developer details should agree.

Casino bonus terms deserve the same attention to scope. A promotional free-spin offer may select particular titles, and a welcome bonus may exclude named games or feature purchases. A game having an internal bonus round does not make it eligible for every casino promotion. Check the offer's eligible games and conditions alongside the game's own rules.

Desktop and mobile use

Relax's delivery platform supports games across desktop and mobile devices, but the casino supplies the account, lobby and payment service. The game interface supplies its own stake controls, feature settings and rules. This division helps when checking a problem: a missing title belongs to the operator's available selection, while a question about a multiplier or feature trigger belongs to the game rules.

On a smaller screen, locate the information menu and mode controls before changing a stake. Money Train 5's Standard and Ultra modes have different maximum stakes, so the chosen mode matters as much as the amount next to the spin button. A changed layout after rotating a device does not mean that a feature's underlying trigger has changed.

A demonstration can help explain the visual sequence of a respin, a new station or a Tumble feature. Its results do not establish what will happen in a later session. Use it to understand where the relevant symbols, counters and settings appear, then read the applicable rules. The value of a clear interface is that the game's conditions are easier to follow, rather than that the next result becomes predictable.

Relax Gaming's catalogue is most useful when explored at that level of detail. The company history explains the combination of development and distribution, while the individual game pages explain the features. Match the complete release and mode, compare the casino's account conditions, and keep a network jackpot's rules separate from both the base game and the operator's promotional offers.
