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, explained before your first spin.
Play the demo free. Real money play needs an account and you must be 18+.
5x3 is the grid of Sleeping Dragon: five reels with three rows and 25 paylines, all active. The theme mixes dragons, fantasy and medieval life. A win needs only two matching symbols. Symbols range from Princess and Crown to the card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10. You set one total bet, since lines cannot be picked singly. The jackpot ladder of MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA stays visible above the reels.
Three SCATTER symbols start Free Spins, and four or five give more spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol, and a giant SCATTER adds 3 spins. A giant MONEY symbol turns the round into the Respin Bonus, a hold-and-win style round. Six MONEY symbols on one spin open three respins, and each new MONEY hit resets the counter to 3.

Three modes ahead
Not sure how the spins are counted or when a bonus starts? This covers it.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start Free Spins, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol. A giant SCATTER retriggers 3 more spins, and a giant MONEY symbol turns the round into the Respin Bonus.
Base Game reelsUp to 50 spins
6+ MONEY symbols on one spin trigger 3 respins. Each new MONEY hit resets the counter to 3. The feature ends when respins reach 0 or the 5x3 grid fills 15 of 15, adding a 7000x total-bet MEGA bonus on top of the summed coin values.
Any spinRespins, MEGA bonus
The Base Game runs on 5 reels and 3 rows, with 25 fixed paylines, all active. One total bet value covers every line, with no per-line selection. A jackpot ladder bar, showing MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA, stays visible above the reels.

Round Walkthrough
At Playamo Casino we explain each step of a round in plain terms before you play.
A$0.10 is the lowest total bet and A$250 the highest. Each spin uses that one value across all 25 fixed paylines, with no per-line choice.
25 fixed paylines sit across the 5x3 grid, and a line can pay with as few as 2 matching symbols. Every line stays active, so one total bet covers them all.
6 features are listed for this slot, including Wild, Scatter and Prize Symbols. The MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA ladder stays above the reels throughout the base game.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start Free Spins, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins respectively. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol.
A$250 is the highest total bet here, so set a spending limit before the first spin. Free Spins and the Respin Bonus can come on any spin, and nobody can predict when.
Three or more SCATTER symbols start the Free Spins, and six or more MONEY symbols on one spin start the Respin Bonus, but nobody can say in advance how often either one lands. The bonus rounds come as they come, and the result of one session stays random, whatever the RTP of 96.50 says about the long run.
96.50 is the only RTP version this game runs, and the game rules are where that version is stated. The figure applies to the long run, measured per A$100 staked. It says nothing about how one session will end, so read it as a long-run figure, not a promise about your next spins.
x15,000 is the highest multiple of the bet this game can pay, and it is a ceiling reached very rarely. Nobody can plan a session around it, because a win that size depends on features that do not come on a schedule.
Practise without deposit
Useful when you want to see the reels move before staking any of your own cash.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Playamo account and you must be 18 or older.
Start playing18+ is the legal age to play Sleeping Dragon. If play stops feeling fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a fixed sum before the first spin and treat it as the most you can lose. High volatility brings bigger swings, so hold to the sum.
Set your stop point before the first spin and keep to it after a win too. No spin can be predicted, so a big win signals nothing.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, and keep them in place for every session.
Take a break as soon as Sleeping Dragon stops feeling fun, and step away before the next spin rather than after.
Sleeping Dragon, quickly
Playamo Casino shows the paytable and rules before you place any bet.
A$0.20 is the bet the paytable of Sleeping Dragon uses, so each symbol's pay can be read before any real stake. The grid stays 5x3 with 25 fixed paylines, all active on every spin.
x15,000 the bet is the top win, and high volatility means results swing widely from spin to spin. Nobody can tell in advance when a large win will land.
A$0.10 is the lowest bet and A$250 the highest on Sleeping Dragon. The tables on this page use A$0.20, A$1 and A$2 as examples, and the total bet covers all 25 paylines.
100x the total bet buys either the Free Spins or the Respin Bonus, so at the A$2 example bet each buy costs A$200. The Free Spins buy sets the trigger spin to 3 to 5 SCATTER, and the Respin Bonus buy to 6 MONEY symbols.
