Is it just me, or do I have the worst luck ever.
But when they had the Xmas event, I got nothing but gold and money. Literally no life'd it.
Now, this new event, I'm getting the same. >.<

Don't do the 10 boxes, they really suck. 100s if you're feeling lucky, or do the smart thing...save up for the 1k box.

After having done all 3, I recommend 100 coin chests. Best return for the effort.
I opened 7 1k chests and 20ish 100 coin chests and a ton of 10 coin chests. 100 coiners all day long for me.

Can you explain your reasoning. I figured from a purely gambling standpoint 10 rolls of the dice with lowers odds for a gold item (since I'm happy with workshop bots too) is probably a statistically smarter thing to do than 1 roll of the guaranteed gold (if only 550 gold bricks).

Well, here goes, keeping in mind that this is purely anecdotal, as I haven't opened NEARLY enough boxes for an appropriate sample size to conclude anything.
Opening ~200 chests, the rewards have been abysmal, 1 Au has been won with ALARMING frequency. Zero bots, about 3 weapons *worth* selling, pinata, tulumbas, 2 KwK I didn't have (sold the last ones, I'll keep these). Countless weapons not worth the time it took me to click to sell, aka molots and Punishers, 6k apiece BLEH. Tons of 5k or 12k pulls.
I will never open another.
Overall satisfaction rating so far: -0
The middle chest, now we're talking. Everything so far has had worth. 100k ag is *fine*, 1/2 a battle in one pull with no repair costs, decent gold, 10-20 being my most common gold event, a couple 75 to make me happier. Pulled a stalker (sigh). Clearly the chance for that sort of event is higher, but not to be expected on a regular basis. That certainly was an exceptional pull for 100 coins tho, made me smile ?, even after the sigh.
Overall satisfaction rating so far: 7
The big chest just takes too much time or money to get. Average player will get 1 pull if they're lucky, as 1000 coins is a LOT. My pulls were memorable if not useful. Of note I got a zeus #4 (sigh), aphid #6 (sigh), gekko #5 (sigh and sell), and gold (kinda sweet, 500), but to be fair, there is so little I need/want, there are bound to be a few sighs in there. Any newer or casual player likely would have been justifiably thrilled with these results, but boy that's a lot of coins. If you can grind that many coins or have the disposable income, you likely wouldn't need any of this either. Still, solid pulls overall, just pricey. And the Gold I got was 500, you could get twice that just flat out buying gold.
Overall satisfaction rating so far: 5, but mileage may vary.
So there you go, my superchest was a Jesse (sigh) but whatever, I have a wild west bot now, YaaaaaaAAaAAaay? ?
So overall I'm fine with the event, it's fun and as long as you don't get your hopes up its sweet. Not as much Ag this time around, which made me sad but it's all good, not even 1/2 through the event. But personally I'll be doing the 100 coins til the end.

In the christmas event chests were worth much more (if you closed the app after each chest or played a couple of games).
This time around, well, the chests are free so it's better than nothing. But I'm not gonna spend a dime on chests, though.

I haven't got a chance to open the 1000 coin chest. but comparing what I get from 10 coin chest and 100 coin chest is the same result as Thunderkiss: 100 coin chest all day every day. I think the 10 coins chest probably has been programmed too rare to get anything good. 1've got 2 tulumbus, 1 molot, many many 1 gold from opening 10 coins chest. I've done about 20 times
whereas 100 coins chest gave me 1 trident, 1000 gold, 500 gold, 200 gold, 75 and 60 gold in total plus some random silver and weapons. I have probably done about 13 times.

Need to look at it through the lens of only spending coins you earn from battle. Spending real money is designed to just get you spend money again and again.
Pix is smart, the entire event is built around the premise that seeing the wheel "just" pass an item you want will get you to spend cash to try for it "just one more time."
From that perspective it'll be frustrating. From the view that everything you roll for (from coins earned through matches) is just "free" stuff, it take on a whole different feeling.

My returns at Christmas where far, far better than the Lunatic Asylum. I dont really care for the 3 box deal, it seems to real shave things down.

One reason my Christmas haul was better was using the exploit to weed out the totally crappy prizes. Now I get a plethora of 1 gold prizes....yeah!
That one bar is like a golden middle finger back to me.
