Five reels with three rows each form the fixed 5x3 grid, and a spin fills every position at once. Wins pay on 10 fixed paylines, counted from the leftmost reel to the right. Three matching symbols on a payline are enough to pay. The theme mixes dragons, fantasy, medieval settings and treasure.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols award Free Spins, and reels 2, 3 and 4 can spin together to form a Giant Symbol across them. Six or more MONEY symbols trigger the Respin Bonus, where only MONEY symbols hold their place and each new MONEY hit resets the three respins. A full grid pays a MEGA bonus; running out of respins ends it instead.

Know each payout
At Johnnykash we set out each rule and figure plainly, so you know what to expect.
The reels spin once you set a bet from A$0.10 to A$250 and press spin. The example tables on this page use A$0.50, A$2 and A$5, not the only stakes allowed.
Symbols land on the 5x3 grid, and wins pay along 10 fixed paylines read from the leftmost reel. A line that misses on reel one cannot pay.
The 5x3 grid shows ten symbols, WILD among them. The features listed for this slot are Free Spins, Giant Symbol, Hold and Spin, Money Collect and Wild.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. Then reels 2, 3 and 4 spin together and can form a giant symbol across them.
Each spin ends with the reels at rest, and no one can know in advance how a session will go. Set your limit before the first spin.

Johnnykash sets out each feature in the order it happens, so you know the rules first.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols land anywhere and award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 then spin together and can form a giant symbol across them. A giant SCATTER adds 3 spins, and a giant MONEY awards the Respin Bonus.
Base Game reelsFree spins
6+ MONEY symbols trigger the Respin Bonus. The grid respins while holding only MONEY symbols, and each new MONEY hit resets the count to 3 respins. The round ends on a full grid, which adds a +7000x MEGA bonus, or when the respins run out.
Reels with MONEYRespins, MEGA bonus
Reels turn on a fixed 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines. Wins pay from left to right, beginning on the leftmost reel. Scatters that land here in 3, 4 or 5 start the Free Spins.

Reels stop at random on every spin, so no one can tell when the Respin Bonus or the Free Spins will land. How often either feature comes is not known in advance. One session can end far above or far below its starting balance, and that result stays random whatever the RTP version.
Each spin on the reels pays out under one RTP version, and the game rules are the only place that names which one applies. Read the game rules in the lobby before your first real session, and compare the version with the figures on this page.
Reels reach the maximum win very rarely, so it works as a ceiling rather than a target. Plan every session as though that top prize will not come, because nothing on the reels promises it in advance.
Demo Mode

Spins in the demo cost no money and pay nothing. The real game needs an account here and you must be 18 or older.
Play for moneyThe legal age to play is 18+. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or self-exclude through BetStop.
Decide how many dollars you can lose before you open the game, and stop once that amount is spent.

Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play. Limits keep the total you can lose fixed, whatever the reels do.
Take a break as soon as the game stops being fun, and self-exclude if you keep coming back when you do not want to.
Know the Numbers
You will have checked the max win, bets, volatility and RTP before the first spin.
The maximum win is 20,000 times the bet. At the top example bet of A$5, that is A$100,000. At the highest bet of A$250, it reaches A$5,000,000.
Stakes run from A$0.10 up to A$250, the highest bet allowed here. This page uses A$0.50, A$2 and A$5 as example bets, and the paytable shows values at A$0.50.
The volatility of Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark is high. High volatility means wins come less often and their size varies widely. The result of one session cannot be predicted in advance.
Test the reels at the lowest bet of A$0.10 before raising your stake. The paytable shows symbol payouts at A$0.50, so you can read the values before you bet more.
Land three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels to start Free Spins. Three award 8 spins, four award 12 and five award 50. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can then spin together to form a Giant Symbol, and a Giant SCATTER adds 3 more spins.
Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark has one RTP version, 96.50%. RTP is the return to player over a large number of spins, so one session can end well above or below it. The return table shows that figure in money for every A$100 staked.
