The Judge's Verdict

The verdict: Chests of Cai Shen 2 is a sharp, festive coin-collector that earns its keep on the strength of its Chest Respin bonus and a chunky 15,000x ceiling. But here's the catch you can't ignore: like many Pragmatic Play titles, this one ships in more than one RTP configuration, and the casino - not you - decides which version sits in the lobby. That alone makes the venue you choose matter as much as the spin you take. 18+; play within your means.

✔ The good

  • Strong 15,000x ceiling with layered multipliers
  • Clear, well-built Chest Respin bonus
  • Works cleanly on mobile
  • Simple, readable coin-collection format

⚠ The catch

  • Multiple RTP versions - casinos may serve a lower one
  • Real payouts sit behind an infrequent bonus
  • Bonus buys are pricey and don't improve the odds
  • Base game can run flat between features

How Chests of Cai Shen 2 plays

Mechanically, this plays as a 5-reel, 3-row, 25-payline coin hunter rather than a classic line game. The base spins are quiet - you're really waiting on the three Bonus Coin colours (blue, red, purple) to feed their chests above the reels and trigger the Chest Respin feature. That's where the game lives.

Inside the respin, the grid splits into multiplier zones, and filling a zone multiplies every coin within it; the coins themselves carry fixed values from Mini and Minor up to Major, with a top in-game Grand for covering the whole grid. A set of modifiers - zone multipliers, twin grids and extra respins - are what stretch the maths toward that headline 15,000x max win.

The catch: this is genuinely high volatility, so the base game runs cold for long stretches and the real money sits behind a bonus that doesn't land often - don't expect frequent hits to cushion the swings. The bonus-buy options tempt you to skip the wait, but buying does nothing to improve the long-run RTP and the higher-priced buy can drain a bankroll fast. And again: check which RTP version your casino runs (it's shown in the game info screen) before you commit, because a lower-RTP build is a meaningfully worse deal than the headline figure most reviews quote.

Features

Chest Respin bonus, 3 coin types, zone multipliers, Mini/Minor/Major + in-game Grand

Chests of Cai Shen 2 is Pragmatic Play's high-volatility sequel built around a God-of-Wealth coin-collection theme. A 5x3 grid with 25 paylines feeds three chests that trigger the Chest Respin bonus, where zone multipliers and coin values - up to an in-game Grand - drive a 15,000x max win. Multiple RTP versions exist and bonus buys are available. 18+.

FAQ

What is the RTP of Chests of Cai Shen 2?

Like many Pragmatic Play slots, it ships in more than one RTP configuration, and the casino chooses which one to run. Always check the game info screen before betting, as a lower-RTP build is a worse long-run deal.

What is the max win on Chests of Cai Shen 2?

The maximum win is 15,000x your stake. It's reached through the Chest Respin bonus by stacking zone multipliers on coin values, including the in-game Grand for filling the whole grid. It's a rare top-end outcome, not a typical result.

Can you buy the bonus in Chests of Cai Shen 2?

Yes - there are two bonus-buy options at different prices that trigger the Chest Respin feature. Buying doesn't improve the RTP and can burn through a bankroll quickly, so treat it as a high-risk shortcut rather than a strategy. 18+.
