Relax Gaming

Relax Gaming is one of the most strategically interesting studios in the America777 catalogue — the only major name to operate as both a slot producer and a content aggregator at scale. Founded in 2010 in Sliema, Malta, the studio spent its first six years building back-end aggregator infrastructure for tier-1 operators before launching its own in-house slot business in 2017. The dual identity persists in 2026: roughly 60% of Relax revenue comes from aggregating third-party studios (Hacksaw Gaming, Push Gaming, Yggdrasil, Big Time Gaming and 50+ smaller boutiques) into a single integration for operator clients, and 40% comes from the in-house slot catalogue covered on this page.

The in-house catalogue is anchored on the Money Train series. Money Train (October 2019) introduced a money-collect mechanic where the bonus round features persistent special symbols (collectors, payers, multipliers) that interact across re-spins, producing a payout vector with sharp variance peaks. The mechanic was iterated through Money Train 2 (March 2021), Money Train 3 (December 2022) and Money Train 4 (April 2024), each release pushing the max-win cap higher (currently 100,000× on Money Train 4) and adding new special-symbol types. The series remains the studio's commercial signature and accounts for roughly 35% of in-house catalogue wagering at America777.

Beyond Money Train, Relax operates a parallel low-volatility line (Hellcatraz, Snake Arena, Temple Tumble Megaways) that uses Mega Cluster mechanics — symbols expand and merge into 2×2 mega-symbols, multiplying matched cluster wins — and a partnership-driven line of branded slots (Beavis & Butt-Head, Iron Bank, Lord of Catanga). The branded line is the studio's commercial experiment to test IP-licensing as a slot acquisition vector.

Mathematically Relax sits at the median of the high-volatility studio range. Catalogue median RTP is 96.27%, hit-frequency averages 18% to 22%, and the bonus-round payout distribution is structurally similar to Hacksaw's bimodal model — modal bonuses pay under 50× the bet, long-tail bonuses pay 1,000×+. Max-win caps cluster at 5,000× to 100,000× across the catalogue. Volatility is high but not extreme; most slots ship at 4.5/5, with the Money Train series at full 5/5.

The studio's most innovative product is the Dream Drop jackpot network. Launched in 2022, Dream Drop is a cross-operator progressive jackpot system with five fixed jackpot tiers (Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major, Mega) that trigger randomly on any spin across the eligible Relax-built catalogue. The Mega tier currently sits at over $1,000,000 and has paid out twelve times since launch, with a median wait between hits of approximately 110 days. Crucially, Dream Drop wins are paid as cash with no wagering and stack on top of any active welcome-bonus play — a unique feature in the segment that materially increases the EV of the Relax catalogue for serious players.

Relax holds licences from the Malta Gaming Authority, the UK Gambling Commission, the Swedish SGA and Romania ONJN. Certification is via GLI for live deployment. The studio is a member of EGBA and a signatory of the responsible-gambling charter; it was an early adopter of operator-side session-time tooling and contributes to the IBIA player-protection working group.

For America777 players the practical takeaway is that Relax Gaming is the right studio when you want a balance of high-variance bonus chase and structural EV. The Money Train series is among the most efficient targets for welcome-pack clearing in the catalogue — the bonus-round mechanic delivers steady wagering progress while preserving the lottery-chase feeling. Dream Drop participation adds a small but persistent EV uplift that is unique in the segment. The downside is that the catalogue depth is mid-tier — about 110 in-house slots vs Pragmatic's 280 — so players who want a deep, varied rotation will exhaust the Relax library faster than the larger studios.
