Sleeping Dragon is a 5x3 video slot by Pragmatic Play with high volatility. This page covers how a round runs and what each symbol pays.
Choose Sleeping Dragon if you want a 5x3 video slot with a Dragons, Fantasy, Medieval and Money theme. All 25 fixed paylines are active on every spin, so one total bet value sets the whole stake. A win can start with as few as 2 matching symbols. Symbols are Princess, Crown, Shield, Sword and the card values A, K, Q, J and 10.
Pick Sleeping Dragon when you want bonus rounds that change the shape of the reels. Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start Free Spins, and reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a Giant Symbol. A Giant Scatter retriggers the round. A Giant Money symbol turns the round into the Respin Bonus Feature, where each new Money symbol resets the counter.

Know what to expect
Settles what you bet, how wins form, and when your limit ends the session.
Choose the total bet before the first spin, from A$0.10 up to A$250. All 25 paylines are active at that value, and no line needs selecting.
The base game runs 25 fixed paylines on a 5x3 grid. Matching symbols on one payline form a win, and two symbols can pay. The paytable uses A$0.20 as its bet.
Above the reels sits the jackpot ladder with MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA levels. It stays visible before and during every spin.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start Free Spins, for 6, 9 or 50 spins. During Free Spins, a giant SCATTER retriggers and adds 3 more spins.
Decide your spending limit before the first spin. Free Spins and the Respin Bonus can start on any spin, so the session length is not known in advance.

More spins, more coins
This section settles how each round starts, what it pays and when a bonus can begin.
Aim for 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere to start Free Spins, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol, and a giant SCATTER retriggers +3 spins. A giant MONEY symbol converts the round into the Respin Bonus.
Base GameExtra spins
Chase six or more MONEY symbols on one spin to trigger 3 respins. Each new MONEY hit resets the counter to 3. It ends when respins reach 0 or the 5x3 grid fills 15/15, which adds a 7000x total-bet MEGA bonus on top of the summed coin values.
Any spin3 respins
Set one total bet, which covers all 25 fixed paylines because every line is active. Each spin runs on 5 reels x 3 rows. The jackpot ladder bar, showing MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA, stays visible above the reels.

Midnight Casino lets you try the same reels first, so each choice stays yours.
Pick the demo to learn the reels without staking money: it needs no deposit and pays nothing. The real game needs a Midnight Casino account and players aged 18+.
Play nowDecide your session budget knowing that the bonus round has no set schedule. Nothing on this page can tell you when it will arrive, how often it comes, or how a single session will end. The result of one session is random, and that holds whatever the RTP version is.
Check the game rules before you choose a bet. Which RTP version runs on Sleeping Dragon is shown only in those rules. The rules are the place to confirm the figure before you commit a budget.
Accept that the maximum win is a ceiling, not a target. Sleeping Dragon's top prize is reached very rarely, and the bet table on this page shows what that ceiling means at each bet. Size each bet so that a run of losing spins still fits the budget you set beforehand.

Set a budget before you spin, and treat it as the most you can lose. Sleeping Dragon is high volatility, so results swing widely.
Decide when you will stop before the first spin, and keep to it after a win. A big win can tempt a bigger bet, so pause first.

Plain facts ahead
Most players worry about the return and the biggest possible win, so these answers start there.
Decide your stake with the 96.50% RTP in mind. Sleeping Dragon has one RTP version, which returns A$96.50 for every A$100 staked over a very large number of spins. A single session can finish far above or below that figure, so the RTP promises no result.
Plan your bet around the ceiling, not the average result. Sleeping Dragon pays up to 15,000 times the total bet. At the example bet of A$10 that is A$150,000, and at the highest bet of A$250 it reaches A$3,750,000.
Try the game at the minimum bet of A$0.10 first. Sleeping Dragon has a 5x3 grid and 25 fixed paylines, all active at once, so the total bet is the one value to set. A low stake lets you watch the features before you commit more.
Watch for three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid. Three award 6 free spins, four award 9 and five award 50. Inside the free spins, a giant SCATTER retriggers 3 more spins.
