Sleeping Dragon is a high volatility reel game

The 5x3 grid of Sleeping Dragon has 25 fixed paylines, and all of them stay active at one total bet. The theme mixes dragons, fantasy, medieval settings and money. A win needs only 2 matching symbols, the fewest that pay in this game. Above the reels, a jackpot ladder of MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA stays in view for the whole base game.

Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere start the Free Spins, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2 to 4 can merge into a Giant Symbol, and a giant MONEY turns the round into the Respin Bonus. Six MONEY symbols on one spin trigger 3 respins and each new hit resets the count. Wild and Prize Symbols complete the feature list.

Know each round

What happens in one Sleeping Dragon round?

Useful before your first spin, when you want to see how a Sleeping Dragon round runs.

  1. Why are all 25 paylines active?

    A$0.10 is the lowest total bet and A$250 the highest, so you pick one total stake before the first spin. The 25 fixed paylines all stay active, with no per-line selection.

  2. Two-symbol wins on 5x3

    Two matching symbols are the fewest that pay on this 5x3 grid. A win forms when matching symbols land along one of the 25 paylines.

  3. Which features sit beside Scatter?

    Four jackpot levels, MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA, stay visible above the reels. Wild and Prize Symbols are among the features of this game, next to Scatter.

  4. Sleeping Dragon free spins trigger

    Three SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid award 6 free spins, four award 9 and five award 50. A giant SCATTER retriggers 3 more spins.

  5. Set your limit first

    A$250 is the highest total bet, so set your limit before the first spin. Free spins and the Respin Bonus cannot be timed, so your limit decides when to stop.

Knowing how each mode ends

At Playamo Casino, each mode below is set out by its start, its rules and its end.

What does a retrigger add?

3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere trigger Free Spins, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol. The paytable is elevated. A giant SCATTER retriggers, adding 3 spins, and a giant MONEY converts the round into the Respin Bonus.

Base Game reelsExtra spins

When does the MEGA bonus pay?

6+ MONEY symbols on one spin trigger 3 respins, and each new MONEY hit resets the respin counter to 3. The round ends when respins reach 0 or the 5x3 grid fills 15/15. A full grid adds an extra 7000x total-bet MEGA bonus on top of summed coin values.

Limits of any single session

96.50% RTP is a long-run average, and it says nothing about one session. How often the Free Spins or the Respin Bonus Feature come is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP is, so a short session can end far above or far below its expected return.

96.50% is the only RTP version listed for Sleeping Dragon. Which RTP version this site runs is shown only in the game rules, so read that section before the first spin. The RTP table on this page turns the figure into money for A$100 staked.

x15,000 is the maximum win of Sleeping Dragon, a multiple of the bet and not a fixed sum. The ceiling is reached very rarely, and no session can be planned around it. The money value of the ceiling grows with the bet.

Clear facts first

Before your first Sleeping Dragon spin

Playamo Casino puts the figures of each slot in front of you before any stake.

What is the maximum win on Sleeping Dragon?

The maximum win is x15,000 the total bet. Using the A$2 example top bet, that comes to A$30,000, and at the A$250 maximum bet it reaches A$3,750,000. Payouts are multiples of the bet, so the money figure rises and falls with the stake.

What bet sizes can I play on Sleeping Dragon?

A$0.10 is the lowest bet on Sleeping Dragon, and A$250 the highest. The examples on this page use A$0.20 and A$2. All 25 paylines stay active, so one total bet value covers the whole spin.

Can I buy the bonus on Sleeping Dragon and what does it cost?

Both bonuses can be bought for 100x the total bet. Each purchase costs A$200 at the A$2 example top bet. The purchase fixes the trigger spin at 3 to 5 SCATTER for Free Spins, or 6 MONEY for the Respin Bonus.

How volatile is Sleeping Dragon and what does high mean?

96.50% is the RTP of Sleeping Dragon, a figure that holds over a long run only. High volatility means wins come unevenly, with long stretches without a win between larger results. A single session can end far above or below it.

How do the free spins start on Sleeping Dragon?

Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the Free Spins, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol during the round, and a giant SCATTER adds 3 more spins.
