Pragmatic Play · 2025
Sleeping Dragon is a 5x3 video slot by Pragmatic Play with 25 paylines and high volatility. This page covers its figures, rules and bonus modes.
On five reels with three rows, each spin runs across 25 fixed paylines, all active at the one total bet you set. A win starts when two matching symbols land on a payline. The game draws on Dragons, Fantasy, Medieval and Money themes, with Princess, Crown, Shield, Sword and card symbols from 10 to A. The MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA jackpot ladder stays visible above the reels throughout.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols landing anywhere on the reels start Free Spins, which award 6, 9 or 50 spins. During those spins, reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a Giant Symbol and the paytable rises. A Giant SCATTER retriggers 3 more spins, while a Giant MONEY turns the round into the Respin Bonus. There, 6 or more MONEY symbols on one spin grant 3 respins.

When the reels trigger
Mrspin9 Casino sets out each bonus stage in the order the reels trigger it.
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 rises. A giant SCATTER retriggers with 3 more spins, while a giant MONEY turns it into the Respin Bonus.
Base GameExtra spins
6+ MONEY symbols on one spin trigger 3 respins. 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 summed coin values.

Each spin runs across 5 reels x 3 rows with 25 fixed paylines, all active at once. You set a single total bet, with no per-line selection. The jackpot ladder bar, showing MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA, stays visible above the reels for the whole round.

Five steps in total
Read this before your first spin, when a round from bet to payout is still unclear.
Nothing moves on the five reels until you pick a total bet between A$0.10 and A$250. The 25 paylines are always active, so the bet is a single total value.
Symbols that land on a payline across the 5x3 grid form a win once two match. The paytable lists each pay for the A$0.40 bet.
Wild symbols can stand in for paying symbols, while the jackpot ladder above the reels always shows MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols landing anywhere on the reels start Free Spins with 6, 9 or 50 spins. A giant SCATTER retriggers for 3 more spins.
Each spin on the reels uses the total bet from your balance, so a limit you set before the first spin decides when the session ends.
Each bonus buy, opened from the reels, costs 100 times the total bet, which is A$200 at the example top bet of A$2.
| Feature | Stake | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Free Spins with 3-5 Scatter | x100 · A$200 | – |
| Respin Bonus with 6 MONEY | x100 · A$200 | – |
Each spin on the reels pays back part of the stake. Return to player shows the long-run payout per A$100 staked, and the version this site runs is listed in the game rules.

Symbols land on the five reels of Sleeping Dragon at random, and nothing in the game shows when the bonus round will come. Free Spins and the Respin Bonus can start on any spin or not at all in a session. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a short run can finish well above or well below the RTP.
Every spin on the five reels is settled by the RTP version the game runs, and the game rules are the only place that names it. The return shown in the table is a long-run average, so it does not promise what one session returns. Read the game rules before you start to see which version applies.
Wins on the five reels are paid along the 25 fixed paylines, and the game caps what a bet can return. That cap is the maximum win, a multiple of the total bet, and the game reaches it very rarely. No player can count on reaching it, so the cap says nothing about a typical session.
Before any money moves
This block settles whether the trial or the account suits you before any stake is placed.
Each spin of the 5x3 reels in demo mode costs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at Mrspin9 Casino and you must be 18+.

If the session stops feeling like entertainment, take a break from the reels, and consider self-exclusion.
Sleeping Dragon, briefly
The worry before a first spin: how low the bet starts and how high a win can go.
Every spin on the 5x3 grid uses one total bet, set from A$0.10 up to A$250. All 25 paylines stay active, so there is no line selection to make. The tables on this page use A$0.40 and A$2 as examples only.
A winning spin on the reels can pay up to 15,000 times the bet. With the example top bet of A$2, that cap is A$30,000. When the bet is A$250, the highest allowed, the same multiple is A$3,750,000.
On the reels, high volatility means results swing widely between dry runs and large payouts. Long stretches without a win can happen. No one can know in advance when a large payout will land.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols landing anywhere on the reels start Free Spins. Three award 6 spins, four award 9 and five award 50. A giant SCATTER during Free Spins adds 3 more spins.
Each spin can start at a total bet of A$0.10, so a first session can stay small. Check the paytable and the modes before the first spin, then pick a stake that matches the budget.
