Chests of Cai Shen 2 review
Chests of Cai Shen 2 is a quest for ancient coins, released in 2025 as the sequel to the 2024 original. The pitch is a respin feature that can be shaped by coins you collect: blue, purple and red Bonus Coins each add a modifier, and any combination of the three can apply at once. Filling every grid position with money symbols pays an extra 5,000x. The catalogue lists a 96.5% RTP but no volatility rating or max win.
Bonus Coins and their modifiers
Bonus Coins are collected when they land, and collecting them randomly triggers the feature with up to three modifiers. One, two or all three can be active in the same round. The colour of the coin decides what the modifier does.
Blue coin
Adds four multiplier zones to the grid. Prizes in those zones are boosted by up to 100x.
Purple coin
Awards an additional respin.
Red coin
Makes the feature play out on two 5x3 grids instead of one.
How the respin feature plays
During the feature, sticky money symbols stay in place, and each time one hits it resets the number of respins. The respins continue until none remain or until every grid position is filled with money symbols. A full grid awards an additional prize of 5,000x.
The modifiers work together with that reset rule. A purple coin gives an extra respin, a red coin doubles the area where money symbols can land, and a blue coin raises what the symbols are worth. The studio does not say how likely each coin is, so the odds of a full set are unknown.
Missing information
Our catalogue shows no volatility rating and no max win for this game, and the studio text we hold does not give the base game rules, the grid of the standard spins or the paytable. We therefore describe only the bonus. The 5,000x prize is the reward for filling the grid, which the studio states; it is not confirmed as a max win.
RTP and cost
One RTP is on record, 96.5%, a house edge of 3.5%. Over a long run that is about $35 lost per $1,000 wagered. A 100-spin session costs $0.70 on average at $0.20, $3.50 at $1 and $17.50 at $5. A free official demo is available.
The first game and others at 96.5%
The original Chests of Cai Shen from 2024 lists 96.57% and a 10,000x max win. Among 2025 games with the same 96.5% RTP, 5 Lions Megaways 2 lists 8,000x, while 5 Lions Reborn and Alien Invaders each list 5,000x. 777 Rush, Big Bass Boxing Bonus Round and Big Bass Halloween 3 also share the RTP.
Pros
- Three coin modifiers that can combine in the same round
- Blue coin multiplier zones boost prizes by up to 100x
- A full grid awards an additional 5,000x prize
- Free official demo available
Cons
- No volatility rating or max win in our data
- Base game rules are not in the studio text we hold
- Odds of collecting the coins are not stated
Verdict
Chests of Cai Shen 2 puts all of its attention on one respin feature and lets three colours of coin reshape it. The 96.5% RTP means a 3.5% house edge, about $35 per $1,000, and the original game lists a 10,000x max win, though this sequel's ceiling is not published. It suits players who want a bonus-led design and accept uncertain swings. Try the free demo first and set a budget before staking anything.
