When a developer releases a slot sequel it’s typically down to one of two things: laziness or popular demand. If it’s the former, they’ve simply ran out of ideas and have shrugged and gone ‘Sod it, let’s put out a sequel’. If it’s the latter – popular demand – they’ve caved in to pressure, or have at least been astute enough to recognise that their original game in the series was a little bit special. That’s certainly the case in Money Farm 2, for the original Money Farm was a beauty, and the follow-up looks every bit as gorgeous.

The premise behind Money Farm 2 is a simple one: there’s a farmyard populated by cartoonish animals along with riches beyond compare – gold specifically. Your task is to root out those riches while demonstrating that where there’s muck there’s also brass, or rather gold in this instance.

Down on the Farm

Money Farm 2 is a 5-reel slot set within a standard 5x3 layout. In the background, a classic American farm can be made out complete with windmill, tractor and wooden farmhouse. It all looks idyllic. Instead of the usual blue skies and green pastures, everything has been washed in a sheen of gold.

Money Farm 2 is a 25-payline game with a line bet that can be set between 0.01 and 0.5. The number of paylines is fixed but at least you can adjust the line bet, which can be set at a maximum 12.5 per spin. That’s not nearly as much as most slots will let you wager, but it’ll have to do. The symbols are made up of an even split between playing card values and animals.
