Pirate Coins: 3 Chests Slot Review

Pirate Coins: 3 Chests is a compact coin-collection slot from Evoplay, released on 8 October 2026. It runs on a 3x3 grid with 5 paylines, publishes an RTP of 96.03% and caps wins at €750,000. Evoplay's product sheet adds a hit frequency of 16.95% and a Bonus Game rate of 1 in 95 spins, which is more than many studios disclose. The free demo above runs the studio's demo build with play money only, so you can watch how the coin mechanic behaves before deciding whether it belongs anywhere near a real balance. Casinofy is for players aged 18+.

The base game is deliberately small. Three reels, three rows and 5 paylines carry the regular symbols, and a Wild substitutes for all of them except the Coin and Jolly Coin symbols. Above the reels sit three chests, labelled Extra Row, Random Multi and Random Coins. Each is a booster for the Bonus Game rather than a feature in its own right.

The core loop depends on reel placement. Coin symbols land only on reels 1 and 3, and each one carries a random value from 1x to 10x the bet or a fixed jackpot. The Jolly Coin lands only on reel 2. When a Jolly Coin on reel 2 lines up with Coin symbols on reels 1 and 3, the Bonus Game starts. Coins and Jolly Coins arrive in purple, red and green, and the colours decide which chests open: purple for Random Coins, red for Random Multi and green for Extra Row. A trigger can therefore carry one, two or all three boosters.

The Bonus Game

Once the round starts, only Gold Coin and Jolly Coin symbols can land. Jolly Coins hold their positions until the feature ends, and each Jolly Coin collects the values from all Coin symbols on the reels, after which those Coins disappear. On the studio's description, every extra Jolly Coin that sticks adds another collector, so the value of a round leans heavily on how many Jolly Coins you hold. Evoplay does not publish how many bonus spins the round lasts, which leaves a gap in any attempt to estimate an average feature payout.

The three boosters

• Random Coins (purple)2 to 4 Coin or Jolly Coin symbols may be added to random positions during any bonus spin. More coins on the grid means more for the Jolly Coins to collect.
• Random Multi (red)multipliers from x1 to x5 may increase the values of Coin symbols that land on the corresponding reel. This scales existing values rather than adding new ones.
• Extra Row (green)an additional row expands the Bonus Game grid to 3x4, giving more positions for coins to land.

The boosters stack logically: more positions, more coins and larger coin values all feed the same collection mechanic. The product sheet's highest observed payout, 10,000x the bet, came from the Bonus Game.

An RTP of 96.03% means a theoretical house edge of 3.97% over the very long run. Against other recent releases on Casinofy, that sits just under Piggy Bank: Coinstorm at 96.05% and below Three Pots of the Genie at 96.24% and 3 Lucky Monkeys Hold & Win at 96.98%. It is a fair figure rather than a generous one. Evoplay publishes only this single RTP and no alternative versions, so confirm the figure in the game's information screen at whichever casino you use.

Volatility is where the documentation lets players down. Evoplay's release email prints "Low High", and the game page and product sheet print "LOW HIGH", with no single rating. That label is ambiguous, and we will not guess which bucket the game belongs in. What the published numbers do show is a game that leans on its feature: a 16.95% hit frequency, a Main Game ceiling observed at 60 times the bet, and a Bonus Game that arrives on average once in 95 spins. Averages are not schedules. Long runs without a trigger are normal, so a bankroll for this game should be sized to absorb well over 95 spins without a feature, at a stake you are comfortable losing.

The €750,000 cap needs context. At the €75 maximum bet it equals 10,000x the stake, and the product sheet's highest payout across 500 million simulated spins was also 10,000x the bet. Evoplay does not state the max win as a multiple of any other stake, so at the €0.10 minimum or a typical small stake there is no published multiple to quote. For almost every player the cap is a ceiling that will never come into view.

Not published: a single volatility rating, RTP variants, the max win as a stake multiple, the Bonus Buy prices, the number of bonus spins, and the Mini, Mega and Super jackpot values.

This suits players who like a single, readable bonus mechanic and want to know roughly how often it arrives. The 1 in 95 figure is rare candour, and the colour-coded boosters make every trigger feel different without hiding the logic.

Skip it if you want a game whose volatility is stated plainly, or if you prefer base-game action: with a Main Game ceiling observed at 60 times the bet, nearly all of the upside sits behind the feature. Players drawn to Bonus Buy should be wary, since the prices are not published here and buying features accelerates losses as easily as wins. If you would rather browse lower-key alternatives, our free slots library has plenty to try in demo mode. For real-money play, use only a casino licensed in the country where you live.

Pirate Coins: 3 Chests is a tidy, well-documented coin-collection slot with a fair 96.03% RTP and a more transparent product sheet than most, including a hit frequency and a bonus rate. It loses ground on an ambiguous volatility label, unpublished bonus spin counts and jackpot values, and a Bonus Buy with no published price. It is a solid choice for players who want a clear feature loop and accept that the base game does little on its own, but it is not for anyone who needs the full maths before committing a budget.
