Each spin lands symbols across five reels and three rows, and wins form on 25 fixed paylines that are all active. A single total bet covers every line, so there is no per-line choice. At least 2 matching symbols on a payline make a win. The theme mixes dragons, fantasy, medieval and money, with royal and card symbols on the reels. A jackpot ladder bar (MINI, MINOR, MAJOR, MEGA) stays visible above the reels.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols anywhere start the Free Spins round, which awards 6, 9 or 50 spins. Inside it, reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a Giant Symbol, and a giant Scatter retriggers 3 more spins. A giant Money symbol turns the round into a Respin Bonus, where six or more Money symbols trigger three respins.

Player guide
You will know how a round runs, from bet to limit, before you spin.
The 5x3 reels wait until you set the total bet, anywhere from A$0.10 up to A$250. One bet value covers the whole spin, with no per-line choice.
Matching symbols on a payline form a win on the 5x3 grid. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, and all 25 paylines stay active on every spin.
The jackpot ladder bar stays above the reels at all times, with four levels: MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA. Each spin runs with the bar in view.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols land anywhere on the grid and start Free Spins with 6, 9 or 50 spins.
Reels keep turning until you press stop, so set your limit before the first spin. If play stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Three modes explained
Casino Secret lists each trigger and rule plainly, so you know what happens before the reels turn.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start Free Spins, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2-3-4 can merge into a giant symbol, and a giant SCATTER retriggers +3 spins. A giant MONEY symbol turns the round into the Respin Bonus.
Base Game spinsFree spins
Six or more MONEY symbols landing on one spin trigger 3 respins. Each new MONEY hit resets the respin counter to 3. The round ends when respins reach 0 or the 5x3 grid fills 15/15, which adds a 7000x total-bet MEGA bonus on top of the summed coin values.
Six MONEY symbolsRespin Bonus
Every spin uses 5 reels x 3 rows with 25 fixed paylines, all active. The total bet is one value, with no per-line selection. A jackpot ladder bar with MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA stays visible above the reels.

Learn it before staking
Most people worry about staking money before they know how a round runs.
The reels spin in the demo without any money, and nothing is paid out. The real game needs a Casino Secret account and the legal age of 18+.
Start playingFree Spins and the Respin Bonus begin only when the reels land their trigger symbols, and how often that happens is not known in advance. No figure on this page predicts the next bonus round. Each spin is random, so a long quiet stretch tells you nothing about the next one. The RTP is an average over very many rounds, not the result of one session.
Symbols that land on the 5x3 grid are paid as the paytable shows. Which RTP version runs here is shown only in the game rules, not on the reels. Open the rules inside the game before you bet, and read the figures there.
A winning spin can pay up to x15,000 of the bet, which is a ceiling and not a target. The maximum win is reached rarely, and nobody can tell in advance whether a given session will get there. Plan for the session, not the top prize, and keep the bet within what you can afford to lose.
You must be 18+ to play. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and stop once that amount is gone.
Set your stop point before you start, and keep to it after a win as well as after a loss.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so a session ends where you chose.
If Sleeping Dragon stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop, the national register.
Next to Sleeping Dragon
The common worry is that all slots play alike, so these games show how they differ.
Know what you bet
Short answers on bets, volatility, bonus buys, maximum win and free spin triggers before the first spin.
Sleeping Dragon takes bets from A$0.10 up to A$250 per spin. The paytable uses A$0.20 as its reference bet, and A$1 is the top example bet on this page. All 25 paylines stay active, so the bet you set is the total bet for each spin.
Sleeping Dragon has high volatility. That means results can swing widely, with wins that come less often and bigger prizes when they land. How often the bonus appears cannot be known in advance.
Sleeping Dragon sells two bonus buys, Free Spins and Respin Bonus, each at 100 times the total bet. At the A$1 example bet that is A$100 per buy. Free Spins buys land 3 to 5 SCATTER symbols on the trigger spin, Respin Bonus buys 6 MONEY symbols.
Sleeping Dragon pays up to 15,000 times the bet. At the A$1 example bet that is A$15,000, and at the A$250 maximum bet it is A$3,750,000. The maximum is a ceiling only, and whether a session reaches it cannot be known in advance.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start Free Spins with 6, 9 or 50 spins. A giant SCATTER during Free Spins adds 3 more spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol in this mode.
