Chests of Cai Shen: three chests, seven variants
In Chests of Cai Shen, green, red and purple coins fill matching chests. Six coins of one colour can trigger a Hold & Spin bonus. Green upgrades up to three coin values, red adds a second grid, and purple starts with four respins instead of three. Chests can combine, giving seven possible bonus variants.
