I got that email and it was very vague. It's still worrying but I'm awaiting numbers.

If you HAVE to use the system, obviously bad for regs who will now have an extra form of major variance to take into account (I expect pay outs to be very top-heavy like spin & gos). Also sounds like hell for any kind of staking deal to take this **** into account.
It replaces the old, it's not stacked on top. You can still buy bonuses but your stars coins will come from chests.
There is no reason to believe we won't get to see the probabilities. And once we do we will can draw a bell curve for the varying chest sizes and have a look at the mean and standard deviation. Variance could be very modest or quite significant, we just don't know at this point.
And again, I'm only saying this system
could be done very well and it would be very easy to make it superior for the ecology (compared to the current model) without hurting the regs much. But we could also get screwed royally. Let's just wait and see.
