3 Cursed Chests: Hold & Win Slot by Hacksaw Gaming

Three wooden chests sit on a shelf above the reels, one green, one red, one blue, and they're the whole reason this game works differently from a standard line-pay slot. The reels themselves run a conventional 17-payline setup, but every paying Pot symbol that lands on the grid dumps its charge into the matching-color chest overhead. A fully charged chest can pop open at the end of any spin once wins resolve, and only one chest activates per round - which matters, because each one hands you a completely different feature.

Green opens into the Cursed Wilds Respin. The reels reload with only regular symbols, Wilds, and Wild Multiplier icons, and when more than one multiplier joins a winning line the values are summed first and then applied - so a 2x and a 3x on the same combo become 5x, not 6x. Red triggers the Cursed Coins Bonus, a Hold and Win round with three lives and three respins that reset every time a coin lands. Coins carry cash values in four tiers: Bronze at 0.2x to 1x, Silver from 2x to 5x, Gold running 10x to 25x, and Diamond spanning 50x all the way to a 1000x top coin. Filling the grid or burning through all three lives ends the round, and that Diamond ceiling is where the session spike lives.

Blue is the most indirect path. It fires a respin where only Dead symbols and FS scatters land, and the FS count at the end of the respin decides which bonus you get. Seven or more FS awards Treasure Cove, seven to fifteen free spins where the base mechanics continue but a third matching Pot color forces a guaranteed chest activation. Catch an FS Upgrade symbol during the respin and the round converts to Ghostly Gallows instead, which is the high end of the bonus ladder - every single Pot symbol that lands during the round activates its chest on that spin, so chest combos stack back-to-back. FS Upgrades landing mid-Treasure-Cove convert the remainder of the round into Gallows too, and all banked spins carry over.

Two buy options sit on the left. Cursed FS FeatureSpins weights Blue Pot landings upward and multiplies Cursed FS Respin odds by five, chasing the Gallows path specifically. The 3 Cursed Chest FeatureSpins option guarantees all three Pot colors land on every purchased spin, with a chest activating each time - a blunt-force way to cycle through the three feature branches without waiting on base-game variance.

Art is classic Hacksaw comic-book register rendered in bright daylight rather than the studio's usual noir palette. The grid sits in a ship's cargo hold with rope-trimmed wooden edges, bright blue Caribbean sky and a red-sailed galleon anchored behind the right-hand side of the frame. A pirate captain in a red tricorn hat - visibly modelled on Anne Bonny - stands guard on the left with a flintlock drawn. Symbol set is colored gems, small treasure pots, and a horned pirate character as the top-paying icon.
