5x3 is the grid, with 25 fixed paylines that are all active, so one total bet covers every line. Its themes are Dragons, Fantasy, Medieval and Money, and the symbols include Princess, Crown, Shield, Sword and the cards A, K, Q, J and 10. A win can start with just 2 matching symbols. The jackpot ladder bar, with MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA, stays above the reels during the base game.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere award 6, 9 or 50 free spins. In those spins, reels 2 to 4 can merge into a Giant Symbol, and a giant SCATTER adds 3 more spins. A giant MONEY symbol moves the round into the Hold and Spin Respin Bonus, where 6 or more MONEY symbols start 3 respins.
Feature rules
Unsure when the free spins start or what changes once they do? The parts below answer that.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere start the Free Spins, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol, and the paytable is elevated. A giant SCATTER adds 3 spins and a giant MONEY converts the round into the Respin Bonus.
Base game spinExtra 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, which adds an extra 7000x total-bet MEGA bonus on top of the summed coin values.
Any spinRespins, MEGA bonus
Every spin starts here on a 5 reels x 3 rows grid with 25 fixed paylines, all active. The total bet is a single value, with no per-line selection. The jackpot ladder bar, showing MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA, stays visible above the reels.

Play for real96.50% is the RTP of Sleeping Dragon, and it describes the average return over a very large number of rounds, not a schedule. How often the Respin Bonus Feature or the Free Spins come is not known in advance. One session can end far above or far below its starting balance, because each spin is random whatever the RTP.
One RTP version is listed for Sleeping Dragon, 96.50%. Which version runs on the games in this lobby is shown only in the game rules, so the rules are the place to check it before the first spin.

Six plain replies
The question most players ask first: how big can a win get?
x15,000 times the bet is the top prize of Sleeping Dragon. At the A$10 top bet used in these examples, that equals A$150,000, and at the A$250 maximum bet it reaches A$3,750,000. These figures are the upper limit, not an expected result.
100x the total bet buys either bonus round. Each purchase costs A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet. The Free Spins buy starts with 3 to 5 SCATTER symbols on the trigger spin, and the Respin Bonus buy starts with 6 MONEY symbols.
25 fixed paylines, all active at once, sit on a 5x3 grid. The paytable shows what each symbol pays at the A$5 paytable bet, so you can read the prizes before you set a stake.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere award 6, 9 or 50 free spins. Inside the round, reels 2 to 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.
96.50% is the single RTP setting of Sleeping Dragon, measured on A$100 staked. It means the game returns A$96.50 per A$100 wagered over a very large number of spins, not in any one session.
96.50% RTP and high volatility describe two different things. The RTP is the long-run return, while high volatility means wins come less often but can be larger when they land.
