Relax Gaming: a distribution specialist turned high-volatility slot tastemaker
Relax Gaming was founded in 2010 as a B2B technology provider and began building in-house games in 2018. Its slot identity now rests on forceful, volatility-heavy releases such as Dead Rider's Trail, Iron Bank, Money Train 3, Money Train 2 and Temple Tumble.
The house style favors persistent bonus systems, cascading or cluster formats, rising multipliers and feature purchases. High volatility dominates the catalog, while RTP typically sits around 96%.
- Specialization: original video slots paired with a large B2B aggregation and studio-partner platform.
- Recognizable games: Money Train 2, Money Train 3, Dead Rider's Trail, Temple Tumble and Hellcatraz.
- Core mechanics: persistent bonus symbols, tumbling wins, multipliers, bonus buys, Dream Drop jackpots and cluster systems.
- Release model: in-house franchises supplemented by Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax partner distribution.
- Catalog character: experimental, bonus-centered and markedly high volatility.
Character
- Volatility as identity. Two-thirds of the documented catalog falls into the high-volatility group.
- Bonus architecture. Persistent characters, collectors, multipliers and purchased entries often carry more weight than the base game.
- Franchise confidence. Money Train, Tumble, Dream Drop and recurring character lines receive regular extensions.
- Dual business model. Relax is both a recognizable in-house studio and a distribution route for outside developers.
History and positioning
Patrik Österåker and Jani Tekoniemi founded Relax Gaming in 2010 with a focus on technical solutions and simplified content delivery. The company built poker and bingo infrastructure before beginning in-house game development in 2018.
Money Train arrived in 2019 and gave Relax its defining franchise. Money Train 2 deepened the persistent-character bonus model in 2020, while later entries, Tumble games and the Dream Drop network reinforced a catalog built around strong feature identities rather than conservative reel play.
Kindred Group acquired Relax Gaming in 2021. Relax nevertheless retained a distinct supplier profile, combining its proprietary releases with the Relax Apex aggregation platform and the Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax partnership programs.

Flagship lines
Money Train
Money Train is Relax Gaming’s defining franchise, combining a western-industrial setting with persistent bonus characters and escalating interactions. Its sequels progressively expanded the bonus framework, while the Origins release connected the property to Dream Drop.
Tumble
Temple, cluster, TNT, ancient and treasure variants make tumbling wins a broad catalog lane rather than one continuous story. The format gives multipliers and repeated symbol removal a clear role in bonus pacing.
Dream Drop
Dream Drop is a jackpot network applied across original and returning properties. Its catalog reaches from trains and temples to cats, snakes, space and horror, providing Relax with a shared commercial layer across otherwise unrelated games.
Trail and outlaw games
Dead Man's Trail and Dead Rider's Trail establish a darker western lane beside the Money Train series. Their harsher tone fits the studio’s preference for concentrated feature rounds and high volatility.
Mechanics and product systems
- Persistent bonus symbols: Money Train sequels retain and modify character effects through their central bonus rounds.
- Tumbling wins: winning symbols clear and make room for replacements in Temple Tumble, Cluster Tumble and related releases.
- Dream Drop: a shared jackpot framework attached to games including Galactic Racers Dream Drop and Cowabunga Dream Drop.
- Bonus Buy: direct feature entry appears across a large portion of the catalog and aligns with its high-volatility posture.
- Cluster formats: Relax uses cluster pays and has also moved to add the licensed ClusterBreaker mechanic to its offering.
Market influence
Relax Gaming has an unusually strong position at the intersection of content and distribution. Its in-house games established a recognizable high-volatility style, while Relax Apex, Silver Bullet and Powered By Relax made the company an important route to market for partner studios.
Compared with Playtech’s broader full-platform catalog, Relax feels more concentrated around modern slot mechanics and distinct feature brands. Money Train and Dream Drop have given it influence beyond what its in-house catalog size alone would suggest.
