According to a [[Gossip Stone]], it is against the rules to use glasses in this contest.

In {{FSA}}, the [[Links]] can gamble in two Treasure Chest Games. The first is in the [[Village of the Blue Maiden]], in a home in the [[Dark World]]. In this house, Link must risk 100 [[Force Gem]]s to pick between three chests, some of which hold less Force Gems, or significantly more than Link originally bet. The chests can contain a large purple Force Gem (300), a blue Force Gem (100) Rupees, or 1 single Force Gem.

The {{Term|TMC|Chest Mini-Game Shop}} is run by {{Term|TMC|Borlov|link}} in {{Term|TMC|Hyrule Town|link}}. At first, the {{Term|TMC|Chest Mini-Game Shop}} is closed,<ref>{{Cite|I really wanna play a game, but this place isn’t open yet. I guess I just got here too early...|Anton|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Man! I REALLY want to get in there and play a few {{Color|TMC Blue|games}}... I can’t believe they’re still closed! I’m not going anywhere until they open!|Anton|TMC}}</ref> only opening after {{Term|TMC|Link|link}} defeats {{Term|TMC|Mazaal|link}} and obtains the {{Term|TMC|Ocarina of Wind|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Ahh... He’s finally opened up! I can’t wait to get crackin’!|Anton|TMC}}</ref> Borlov will let {{Term|TMC|Link}} pay 10 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee|link}} to play the {{Term|TMC|Mini-Game|link}} itself,<ref>{{Cite|It's 10 Rupees for one try, if you still want to throw your money away on such a terrible pastime... I would really just save it if I were you...|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> though he attempts to dissuade {{Term|TMC|Link}} from playing at all.<ref>{{Cite|I'm telling you, this gambling nonsense is no good. You're better off without!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref>
In {{TMC}}, the '''Chest Mini-Game Shop''' in [[Hyrule Castle Town#The Minish Cap|Hyrule Town]] will not open until Link receives the [[Ocarina of Wind]]. A man named [[Anton]] stands outside the shop until it is finally open. The shop is run by [[Borlov]], the younger brother of [[Carlov]]. The game costs 10 Rupees and gives Link the option of opening one of two chests.<ref>{{Cite|It's 10 Rupees for one try if you still want to throw your money away on such a terrible pastime... I would really just save it if I were you...|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> Once Link pays, Borlov leads him into the back room where the chests are. Getting a green Rupee with a ×2 by it doubles the 10 Rupees Link bets on the game. This doubled number will become his earnings.<ref>{{Cite|Just open whichever chest you like. If you win, then I'll double the amount of your bet.|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> The other chest, however, contains a skull, which ends the game and costs Link all the money he wins. Link can keep playing the game as long as he receives the green Rupee, with each correct guess doubling his Rupees. Borlov will try to convince Link to quit playing until Link wins seven rounds, leading Borlov to force him to quit playing.<ref>{{Cite|Congratulations. Your prize is 320 Rupees. I wouldn't recommend it, but...you can wager you winnings and try again. Think about it. You already got a prize and everything. Don't push your luck.|Borlov|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Ahh, I just can't take this! Please, just stop now while you can! Your prize is 999 Rupees! Just take it, and never gamble again!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> Winning the seventh round earns 999 Rupees, the maximum amount of Rupees Link can carry.
The {{Term|TMC|Mini-Game}} itself is simple; there are two {{Plural|TMC|Treasure Chest|link}} in the back room, and {{Term|TMC|Link}} must pick one to open. One {{Term|TMC|Treasure Chest}} will double the amount of {{Term|TMC|Link}}'s current bet, while the other will cause him to lose his initial bet and any more {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} he may have won. Opening the incorrect {{Term|TMC|Treasure Chest}} will end the game, but if {{Term|TMC|Link}} opens the correct one, {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will give him the opportunity to continue betting with his new amount, doubling it with each success. If {{Term|TMC|Link}} reaches a bet of 640 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} and wins (a total of seven successes in a row), {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will give him the maximum amount of 999 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} and plead with him to leave.<ref>{{Cite|Ahh, I just can't take this! Please, just stop now while you can! Your prize is 999 Rupees. Just take it, and never gamble again!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref>
If Link fuses [[Kinstone]] pieces with [[Spookter and Spekter|Spekter]], Borlov will think of a new business idea. He will then offer a more difficult game with three chests, but the cost of playing is the same. One of the three chests will hold a Red Rupee with ×3 to indicate that it triples Links money. Link can play for a total of five rounds before Borlov ends the game. Again, the maximum amount of Rupees earned is 999.
After {{Term|TMC|Link}} {{Term|TMC|Kinstone Fusion|link|display=Fuses}} {{Plural|TMC|Kinstone Piece|link}} with {{Term|TMC|Spekter|link}} in the {{Term|TMC|Royal Valley|link}}, {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will be inspired to create a separate difficulty of the {{Term|TMC|Mini-Game}}.<ref>{{Cite|Hey! I've just hit on a great idea! This will add a little more risk! Heh heh heh! I'm so excited! I can't wait to get started!|Borlov|TMC}}</ref> When {{Term|TMC|Link}} next enters the {{Term|TMC|Chest Mini-Game Shop}} and speaks to him, he will let {{Term|TMC|Link}} choose between "Level 1: Easy" and "Level 2: Hard".<ref>{{Cite|Level 1 is more than enough to take your money, but if you're feeling particularly self-destructive, we've even got level 2 now, rue the day... Which level would you like to try?|Borlov|TMC}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Level 1: Easy Level 2: Hard|N/A|TMC}}</ref> Level 2 has identical mechanics to Level 1, the only difference being the number of {{Plural|TMC|Treasure Chest}} (increased from two to three) and the factor placed on a winning bet (a success in Level 2 triples the bet, as opposed to a success in Level 1, which doubles the bet). {{Term|TMC|Borlov}} will give {{Term|TMC|Link}} 999 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} if he reaches a bet of 810 {{Plural|TMC|Rupee}} and wins (a total of five successes in a row).

In Ocarina of Time, the Treasure Chest Contest is located in the Market. The shop is only open at night.[8] For 10 Rupees, Link can play. The object of this game is to decide between two chests in each of the first five rooms. One chest will hold a set amount of Rupees, while the other will contain a Door Key. Receiving the Door Key will allow Link to enter the next room through a locked door, but earning the Rupee prize prevents him from going any farther.[9][10] The sixth room at the end of the game has only one chest, with a Piece of Heart inside, unless Link has already taken the prize before, in which case it is a Purple Rupee instead.
According to a Gossip Stone, it is against the rules to use glasses in this contest. This gossip actually gives a vague hint that Link can use the Lens of Truth to ensure victory, as it allows him to see the contents of each chest before he even opens it.[11]
In Majora's Mask, the Treasure Chest Shop is located in East Clock Town. The shop is open from 6 AM to 10 PM.[12] The Treasure Chest Shop Gal will change the cost and prize of the game depending on what form Link takes (Deku, Goron, Zora, or his own).[13] To win this game, Link must navigate across a black and white checkered floor to reach a chest on the opposite end of the building within a 45 second time limit. The catch is that the square segments of the floor will rise when Link is in close range of them. In this way, the black and white floor becomes a maze-like obstacle, and Link must move around the rising walls and guess which way to go to reach his goal. Because there is only a 45 second time limit, Link often must head in the correct general direction the first time; needing to turn back will cost precious time. When playing the game as a Goron, a Piece of Heart can found in the chest.

In Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, Treasure Chest Games can be played in the basements of the Lynna Item Shop in Oracle of Ages, and the Horon Village Shop in Oracle of Seasons. The basements only open once Link purchases all of the items. For 10 Rupees, the shopkeeper will grant Link a choice between two chests. One of the two chests will have a large, red Rupee-like gem in it, the other will be empty. Link must guess the chest with the gem in it three times to win a prize, which is always a Magic Ring.[14] The shopkeeper will ask after the third correct guess if Link wants to keep playing. Saying "OK" will continue the game. Saying "No thanks" will earn him the offered Ring. Going another round and guessing correctly will give Link yet another choice of a prize or ending the game.[15] Winning the fifth round wins a Ring and ends the game.[16] Continuing to play more rounds will reward Link with a rarer ring.

Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, the Links can gamble in two Treasure Chest Games. The first is in the Village of the Blue Maiden, in a home in the Dark World. In this house, Link must risk 100 Force Gems to pick between three chests, some of which hold less Force Gems, or significantly more than Link originally bet. The chests can contain a large purple Force Gem (300), a blue Force Gem (100) Rupees, or 1 single Force Gem.
A second Treasure Chest Game run by a Zuna can be found in the Desert of Doubt. The risks and rewards are unchanged.
The Minish Cap
The Chest Mini-Game Shop is run by Borlov in Hyrule Town. At first, the Chest Mini-Game Shop is closed,[17][18] only opening after Link defeats Mazaal and obtains the Ocarina of Wind.[19] Borlov will let Link pay 10 Rupees to play the Mini-Game itself,[20] though he attempts to dissuade Link from playing at all.[21]
The Mini-Game itself is simple; there are two Chests in the back room, and Link must pick one to open. One Chest will double the amount of Link's current bet, while the other will cause him to lose his initial bet and any more Rupees he may have won. Opening the incorrect Chest will end the game, but if Link opens the correct one, Borlov will give him the opportunity to continue betting with his new amount, doubling it with each success. If Link reaches a bet of 640 Rupees and wins (a total of seven successes in a row), Borlov will give him the maximum amount of 999 Rupees and plead with him to leave.[22]
After LinkFusesKinstone Pieces with Spekter in the Royal Valley, Borlov will be inspired to create a separate difficulty of the Mini-Game.[23] When Link next enters the Chest Mini-Game Shop and speaks to him, he will let Link choose between "Level 1: Easy" and "Level 2: Hard".[24][25] Level 2 has identical mechanics to Level 1, the only difference being the number of Chests (increased from two to three) and the factor placed on a winning bet (a success in Level 2 triples the bet, as opposed to a success in Level 1, which doubles the bet). Borlov will give Link 999 Rupees if he reaches a bet of 810 Rupees and wins (a total of five successes in a row).
The probability of acquiring 999 Rupees from Level 1 is , or approximately 0.7813%.
The probability of acquiring 999 Rupees from Level 2 is , or approximately 0.4115%.
In A Link Between Worlds, Fortune's Choice is a game that appears in both Kakariko Village and Thieves' Town. In Kakariko Village, Link can open one of three chests, while in Thieves' Town, he can open three of the fifteen chests. The prizes for opening the chests can range from varying amount of Rupees or Treasures. In Thieves' Town's game, it is possible to earn a Piece of Heart.
In Tri Force Heroes, Daily Riches is a shop and a game that appears in the town of Hytopia. Link can open one of four treasure chests for free once per day, of which one of them contains a random, pre-selected piece of Material. A losing chest will always result in a Freebie Material, which is exclusive to the shop. If Link plays for every consecutive day after losing, he will have a greater chance of finding the Material prize, with there being less chests to open.
Breath of the Wild
Link can gamble at the Treasure-Chest Game, which is located in the All or NothingShop in Lurelin Village. It is a Mini-Game of luck that can be played by Link when he talks to Cloyne, either by talking to him directly or opening one of his Treasure Chests without talking to him first. In the Mini-Game, Link must bet a certain amount of Rupees and choose one of three Treasure Chests for a chance to win more.[26] Only one Treasure Chest will contain more Rupees than what he originally bet, and the other two will only contain a single Rupee.[27] If Link bets at least ten Rupees, he will have a chance to win a Red Rupee; betting at least 50 Rupees will give him a chance to win a Silver Rupee; betting the maximum 100 Rupees will give him a chance to win a Gold Rupee. If Link tries to leave the house after betting Rupees without opening one of the Treasure Chests, Cloyne will stop him from leaving and call him back inside.[28]
