Pragmatic Play · 2025
Sleeping Dragon is a high volatility 5x3 video slot from Pragmatic Play with 25 fixed paylines, free spins and a respin bonus, shown here step by step.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Symbols land across the 5x3 grid, and a win forms when matching icons sit on the 25 fixed paylines, all of them active on each spin. Two matching symbols are enough to pay. The look blends dragons, fantasy and a medieval setting, with money symbols that carry the bonus. The icons range from Princess and Crown down to A, K, Q, J and 10.
Three to five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start Free Spins, and reels 2 to 4 can merge into a giant symbol. A giant SCATTER adds three more spins. Six or more MONEY symbols on one spin open the Respin Bonus, and each new MONEY hit resets its counter to three.

Five stages
Useful once the game is open and you want the round order before the first spin.
The 5x3 reels run 25 fixed paylines, all active, so you set one total bet from A$0.10 up to A$250.
Symbols on the 5x3 grid pay from just two matching symbols on a payline, and all 25 paylines count on every spin.
Scatter symbols count anywhere on the grid, while Wild, Giant Symbol, Prize Symbols and Hold and Spin sit in the base game feature set.
Three, four or five Scatters anywhere on the grid award 6, 9 or 50 free spins, and reels 2-3-4 can merge into a giant symbol.
The reels keep turning spin after spin, so set your limit before the first spin. No round says how long a session will run.
Symbol payouts
The payouts below are in money at the example bet of A$0.40, and more symbols in a win pay more.

Three modes to know
After this, you'll know how each round starts and what it can pay.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start the round, awarding 6, 9 or 50 free spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol, and a giant SCATTER retriggers 3 more spins. A giant MONEY symbol turns the round into the Respin Bonus.
Base Game reelsFree spins
6+ MONEY symbols on one spin trigger 3 respins, and each new MONEY hit resets the respin counter to 3. The feature 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.
Any spinRespins, MEGA bonus
Every spin starts here on 5 reels x 3 rows with 25 fixed paylines, all active. One total-bet value applies, with no per-line selection. The jackpot ladder bar, showing MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA, stays visible above the reels.

By the end you will have matched each screen to a stage of the round.
Practise with no stake
You will have compared the demo with the real game before you stake.
Each spin on the demo reels costs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at Slotocash Casino and a player aged 18 or older.
Play real moneyEach spin lands symbols on the 5x3 grid, and when the Free Spins or the Respin Bonus Feature appear is not known in advance. The timing is random, so the frequency of these rounds cannot be read from the RTP. Whatever the RTP, the result of one session is random and can end far above or far below the stake.
Each spin on the 5x3 grid runs on one RTP version, and that version is shown only in the game rules, not on the reels. Open the rules before your first bet to confirm which version your session uses.
A winning combination on the reels can climb toward the top of the paytable, but the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. Nothing on the reels promises that the ceiling will be hit, and no session can be planned around it.
Common questions
Slotocash Casino lays out the numbers first, so you pick your bet with clear facts.
Sleeping Dragon has one RTP version, 96.50 percent. Per A$100 staked, the game returns A$96.50 to players over time, which leaves A$3.50 for the house. Individual sessions can end well above or below that mark.
Sleeping Dragon is a high volatility game. Wins come less often, but when a big one lands it can be large. Expect long stretches with little return between the hits.
Sleeping Dragon offers two bonus buys, Free Spins and Respin Bonus. Each costs 100 times the total bet, so A$1,000 at a A$10 bet. The Free Spins buy guarantees 3 to 5 SCATTER on the trigger spin, and the Respin Bonus buy guarantees 6 MONEY symbols.
Land 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels. They award 6, 9 or 50 free spins. During the free spins the reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol, and a giant SCATTER adds 3 more spins.
Open Sleeping Dragon from the game lobby and read the paytable before the first spin. The paytable shows payouts for a A$0.40 bet. The total bet can go anywhere from A$0.10 to A$250.
The maximum win is x15,000 of the total bet. At the top bet of A$250 that comes to A$3,750,000. Nobody can predict when a hit of that size lands, and most rounds never reach it.
You must be 18+ to play Sleeping Dragon. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or use BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session budget before the first spin, and stop when it is spent. No spin in Sleeping Dragon makes up for money already lost.
Choose your stop point before spinning, and keep to it after a big win. A big win is no reason to raise the bet.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play. A higher total bet uses up a limit faster.
Take a break once the game stops being fun, and do not chase losses. If play feels out of control, register with BetStop to self-exclude.
