A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines defines Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark, a video slot from Pragmatic Play with dragon, fantasy, medieval and treasure themes. Wins pay from left to right, starting on the leftmost reel, and three matching symbols is the fewest that pay. Symbols include WILD, Queen, Crown, Shield, Sword and the card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start the free spins, and the count sets how many follow. Reels 2, 3 and 4 then spin together and can form a Giant Symbol across them. A Giant MONEY symbol awards the Respin Bonus, which 6 or more MONEY symbols also trigger. Each new MONEY hit resets its three respins.

Landing 6+ MONEY symbols triggers the Respin Bonus. The grid then respins while holding only MONEY symbols, and each new MONEY hit resets the respins to 3. The bonus ends on a full grid, which adds a +7000x MEGA bonus, or when the respins are used up.

Each spin runs on the fixed grid of 5 reels x 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines. Wins pay from the leftmost reel to the right, and a line needs at least 3 matching symbols to pay.

Five steps, one bet
This settles how one round runs, from picking a bet to setting a session limit.
A$0.10 is the lowest bet and A$250 the highest. The examples here use A$0.20, A$0.50 and A$5, and the grid has 10 fixed paylines.
5x3 grid runs 10 fixed paylines, and each win pays from the leftmost reel to the right. Three matching symbols is the fewest that pay.
5 features make up the game: Wild, Free Spins, Giant Symbol, Hold and Spin and Money Collect. The base game keeps its fixed 5x3 grid and 10 paylines throughout.
3 SCATTER symbols anywhere award 8 free spins, 4 award 12 and 5 award 50. Reels 2 to 4 then spin together and can form a Giant Symbol.
A$100 works as a session budget. Set it before the first spin and stop when the budget is gone, since no session result can be known in advance.
6 or more MONEY symbols start the Respin Bonus, and nobody can say in advance how often a session reaches that point. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP. The RTP does not bring a bonus sooner, and a long run without one does not make it due. Every spin stands on its own.
96.50 is the RTP figure for Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark on this page. The RTP version running at Star Casino is shown only in the game rules, so check there before you play. The figure in the table is the long-run average over many spins, not a return on one session.
x20,000 is the maximum win of Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark, counted as a multiple of the bet. The ceiling is reached very rarely, and its frequency cannot be known in advance. Read it as the top of the paytable, not as a target for any session.

Star Casino lists each game with the same figures, so you can compare before you spin.
Four questions
Free spins, volatility, top win and trying the game, answered before your first spin.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. During free spins, reels 2, 3 and 4 spin together and can form a giant symbol. A giant SCATTER adds 3 spins, and a giant MONEY symbol awards the Respin Bonus.
This game has high volatility. Results swing widely, so a session can run a long time without a large win, and a single bonus can change the balance sharply. Three matching symbols are the fewest that pay on the 5x3 grid.
The top win is 20,000 times the bet. At the example top bet of A$5, that is A$100,000. The highest allowed bet is A$250, where the same multiple gives A$5,000,000.
Play begins at A$0.10 a spin, the smallest bet the game allows. Begin there to see how the 10 fixed paylines and each mode behave before you raise the stake towards the A$250 limit.
