How to Play Chests of Cai Shen 2

1. Set your bet between AUD 0.25 and AUD 250 using the +/- controls.
2. Spin the reels — wins are formed left-to-right with 3+ of a kind on any of the 25 paylines (2+ for Cai Shen premium).
3. Wild symbols land on reels 2-5 and substitute for everything except Bonus Coins and money symbols.
4. Land Bonus Coins (Blue, Red, Purple) in the base game — they get collected by their matching chest at the top of the screen.
5. When chests fill, the Chest Respin feature triggers with 1, 2 or 3 random modifiers active.
6. During respins, only money symbols and blanks can land. Each new money symbol resets the counter to 3 respins (4 with Longevity).
7. Fill the full 15-position grid to win the 5,000x Grand prize on top of all money values.
8. Feature Buy: 100x for standard Fulfillment respin, or 500x for guaranteed x100 multiplier on one zone.

Our Verdict

After a documented 1,000-spin test session at AUD 0.50 per spin, Chests of Cai Shen 2 scored 8.2/10. The base game looks and feels like a near-clone of the 2024 original — same pagodas, same waterside setting, same friendly Cai Shen smiling from the side — but the Fulfillment modifier completely changes the respin feel.

Instead of just hoping coins land, you're now watching them land in specific zones. If the zone tagged with x100 fills up, every coin value inside it (even a humble 0.6x) gets multiplied to a massive number. The result is a far more suspenseful respin round than the original, especially when paired with the Double modifier (two grids running in parallel) or the Longevity modifier (resetting respins).

The 500x Super Buy is where the game truly shines — guaranteed x100 on one zone means you only need 3–4 coins landing there to trigger massive payouts. The 15,000x max win cap is a 50% bump over the original and one of the highest in the Chinese-wealth genre.

⚠️ Pragmatic Play licenses 96.50%, 95.50% and 94.50% versions of this game. Always check the in-game info panel before depositing AUD or NZD.

Our Test Session

Tips & Strategy

• The 500x Super Buy is the value pick — guaranteed x100 multiplier dramatically improves expected value vs the standard 100x buy
• Aim for the Fulfillment + Double combo — running two grids with zone multipliers can compound into huge wins
• The 5,000x Grand prize for filling the grid is the cleanest path to the 15,000x max win cap
• Hit frequency of ~32% means dead spins are uncommon — flat-bet sessions are sustainable
• Avoid the 94.50% RTP version that some grey-market operators serve
• Track Bonus Coins on each chest — the closer a chest is to triggering, the more incentive to keep spinning
• Demo first: test 100 spins before committing real AUD

The top configuration delivers 96.50% RTP. Pragmatic Play also licenses 95.50% and 94.50% versions, so always verify the figure in the in-game info panel before depositing AUD or NZD.

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

The maximum win is 15,000x your stake — a 50% increase over the 2024 original. It is most achievable when the Chest Respin feature fills the entire 15-position grid with a high-multiplier zone active (Fulfillment x100).

Can I play Chests of Cai Shen 2 for free in Australia?

Yes. The free demo version is embedded on this page — no registration, no deposit and no download required. Demo mode uses fun credits only; no real winnings are payable.

How do the three Bonus Coin types work?

Blue coins fill the Fulfillment Chest (zone multipliers x2–x100), red coins fill the Double Chest (two parallel grids), and purple coins fill the Longevity Chest (+1 respin per hit, max 4). When 1, 2 or 3 chests trigger the respin feature, their modifiers all stack together.

What is the difference between Chests of Cai Shen and Chests of Cai Shen 2?

The sequel replaces the Prosperity chest (which randomly upgraded coin values) with the new Fulfillment chest (which splits the grid into 4 multiplier zones up to x100). The max win cap also increases from 10,000x to 15,000x.

Does Chests of Cai Shen 2 have a Bonus Buy?

Yes — two feature buys. The standard 100x buy triggers the Chest Respin with the Fulfillment modifier plus up to 2 random others. The 500x super buy guarantees an x100 multiplier on one zone.

What happens if I fill the entire grid?

If all 15 positions on the 5×3 grid are filled with money symbols during the respin feature, you receive the 5,000x Grand prize on top of all individual money symbol values awarded — the cleanest mathematical path to the 15,000x max win cap.
