Choose your total bet, then spin a 5x3 video slot with dragon, fantasy and medieval themes. Each base game spin runs across 25 fixed paylines, all of them active, so you never pick lines yourself. A win needs at least 2 matching symbols on a payline. The symbols are Princess, Crown, Shield, Sword and the A, K, Q, J and 10 cards, while SCATTER symbols bring the free spins.
Choose Sleeping Dragon for bonus layers on top of the base game. Free Spins can merge reels 2, 3 and 4 into a Giant Symbol. A giant SCATTER retriggers Free Spins by adding 3 spins. A giant MONEY symbol turns the round into the Respin Bonus, where each new MONEY hit resets the counter. Hold and Spin, Prize Symbols and Wild complete the set.
Sleeping Dragon rounds
Kingspin Casino lays out each round in order, so nothing surprises you on the reels.
Pick a total bet from A$0.10 up to A$250. The 25 paylines are always active, so the bet you set is the single amount for each spin.
Watch the 5x3 grid, because a win forms when matching symbols line up on any of the 25 paylines. Two matching symbols can pay, so a line can start small.
Check the jackpot ladder above the reels, where MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA stay in view. Wild, Prize Symbols and Hold and Spin are among the game's features.
Watch for SCATTER symbols: three, four or five anywhere on the grid start Free Spins worth 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2-3-4 can merge into a giant symbol.
Set your limit before the first spin, and stop once that amount is gone. If play stops feeling enjoyable, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

Three features to know
Many players worry about when the bonus starts, so each step is set out here.
Land 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere and Free Spins begin, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2-3-4 can merge into a giant symbol under an elevated paytable. A giant SCATTER retriggers 3 spins, and a giant MONEY symbol turns the round into the Respin Bonus.
Base Game reelsUp to 50 spins
Land 6+ MONEY symbols on one spin and 3 respins begin. Each new MONEY hit resets the respin counter to 3. The feature ends when respins reach 0 or the 5x3 grid fills 15/15, adding a 7000x total-bet MEGA bonus on top of the summed coin values.
Any spin3 respins
Set one total bet and all 25 fixed paylines play on every spin, with no per-line selection. The grid is 5 reels x 3 rows. The jackpot ladder bar, MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA, stays visible above the reels.
Game lobbyAll 25 paylines
Three screens below
The common worry is not knowing what a bonus screen looks like before it appears.
You decide to spin Sleeping Dragon knowing that the bonus round has no set schedule. Nothing on the reels shows when Free Spins or the Respin Bonus will arrive, so a session can end before either one appears. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP says. Two players with the same bet can finish with very different results.
Before you place a bet on Sleeping Dragon, open the game rules and read which RTP version is running. That detail appears only in the game rules, so they are the reference to check before you commit any money. A version named in the rules is the one you will be playing, whatever you read elsewhere.
You decide what to bet on Sleeping Dragon, knowing the maximum win is x15,000 of that bet. That figure is a ceiling, not a target. The ceiling is reached very rarely, so plan each session around the fun of the spins rather than around that number.

Unsure whether another game suits you before you bet
You must be 18+ to play Sleeping Dragon. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or use BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you will spend on Sleeping Dragon before you open the game, and stop when that amount is gone.
Choose your stopping point before the session starts, and keep it after a big win too, because a win does not change your limit.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account settings before you play, so the limits apply even when a session feels exciting.
If Sleeping Dragon stops feeling fun, take a break or self-exclude through the national register, and come back to the game only when you feel clear-headed.
Sleeping Dragon, plainly
You will have checked how Sleeping Dragon pays, how free spins start and which bets apply.
Before you set a stake, know that Sleeping Dragon has high volatility. Wins come less often than in lower-volatility games, but the largest one is capped at x15,000 the total bet, which is A$3,750,000 at the A$250 maximum bet.
Landing 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid starts the Free Spins with 6, 9 or 50 spins. During the round, reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol, and a giant SCATTER adds 3 more spins.
Deciding how you want to learn the rules comes first. The paytable is set for a A$0.50 bet, and the lowest bet is A$0.10, so a small stake lets you see how each feature works.
Choosing your stake means picking one total bet from A$0.10 to A$250 per spin. The 25 paylines are all active, so there is no line selection, and the bets used on this page are examples, not the limits.
Picking an RTP version is not something you need to do with Sleeping Dragon, which runs at one RTP of 96.50%. RTP is the average return across a very long run, measured per A$100 staked, and it says nothing about what one session will return.
