Pragmatic Play · 2026
Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark is a 5x3 video slot from Pragmatic Play with ten fixed paylines and high volatility. This page covers its figures, modes and rules.
Demo is free; the real game needs an account and is for players aged 18+.
Five reels stop on a fixed 5x3 grid, and every spin checks 10 fixed paylines. A line pays when at least three matching symbols land in a row from the leftmost reel, because wins pay left to right. The theme combines dragons, fantasy, medieval and treasure. The symbols are WILD, Queen, Crown, Shield, Sword, A, K, Q, J and 10.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start Free Spins with 8, 12 or 50 spins. In that mode, reels 2, 3 and 4 spin together and can form a giant symbol. Six or more MONEY symbols start the Respin Bonus, where a new MONEY hit resets three respins. Hold and Spin, Money Collect and Wild complete the feature set.

Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark
Neospin Casino lists each stage in the order the reels settle it, with nothing skipped.
The reels turn only after a bet is set, from A$0.10 up to A$250 per spin. Every example on this page uses A$1, A$2 or A$5.
Wins pay left to right, starting from the leftmost reel on any of the 10 fixed paylines. Three matching symbols are the fewest that pay on a payline.
The base game keeps its 5x3 grid fixed for every spin, while Free Spins, Giant Symbol, Hold and Spin, Money Collect and Wild make up the feature set.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 then spin together and can form a giant symbol.
The reels can trigger a bonus on any spin, and nobody can know in advance when or how a session ends. Set your session limit before the first spin.
Three modes, three rules
After this section you will know how each mode starts and what it gives.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. In this mode reels 2, 3 and 4 spin together and can form one giant symbol across them. A giant SCATTER adds 3 spins, and a giant MONEY symbol awards the Respin Bonus.
Base Game spinsExtra free spins
6+ MONEY symbols start the Respin Bonus. The grid then respins while holding only the MONEY symbols, and 3 respins reset on each new MONEY hit. The round ends on a full grid, which adds a 7000x MEGA bonus, or when the respins run out.
Reels with MONEYRespin rounds
Five reels by three rows make a fixed grid, with 10 fixed paylines. Wins pay from left to right, starting at the leftmost reel, so a winning line must begin there. Each spin plays on the same grid, and no extra reels or rows are added in this mode.
Placing a betBase game wins
Each buy costs a multiple of the bet, so the price climbs with the stake; the money at A$5 is in the table below.
| Bonus buy | How much? | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Respin Bonus | x50 · A$250 | – |
| Free Spins | x50 · A$250 | – |
| Super Respin Bonus | x100 · A$500 | – |
| Ultra Respin Bonus | x1,000 · A$5,000 | – |
Each spin on the reels uses the bet, and return to player is the share of every A$100 staked that comes back over a long run of play. The version running here is shown in the game rules.

Play Modes
Most readers worry about spending money before they understand the game.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing in cash; the real game needs an account with Neospin Casino and the legal age of 18+.
Start playingEach spin lands a new set of symbols, and the Respin Bonus starts when six or more MONEY symbols land on the grid. No one can tell from earlier spins when that happens next. The frequency of the bonus round is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP.
Each spin is settled on the 5x3 grid of Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark. Which RTP version the lobby runs is shown only in the game rules, not on the reels or in the paytable. Read that section before you compare this game with another slot on the site, because two versions of one title can pay out differently.
A winning spin can pay up to x20,000 the bet, which is A$5,000,000 at the highest bet of A$250. That ceiling is reached very rarely, so the maximum win describes the limit of a payout, not a result to expect.
Players must be 18+. For help in Australia, 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 you spin, and stop when that amount is gone.
A win does not change the plan, so decide the stop point before you start and keep it after a big result too.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you start a session, and review them each time you log in.
Stop playing when the game stops feeling like entertainment, and take a break or register with BetStop to self-exclude.

Four short answers
After reading, you will know the bets, bonus costs and RTP before you spin.
This 5x3 video slot from Pragmatic Play runs 10 fixed paylines. The paytable on this page lists what each symbol pays at a A$1 bet, so the values are known before any stake is chosen.
Stakes run from A$0.10 to A$250 per spin. A$1, A$2 and A$5 are the example bets this page uses for money figures, and the top bet of those examples is A$5.
Four bonus levels can be bought. The Respin Bonus and Free Spins cost A$250 at the A$5 top bet, or 50 times the bet. At that top bet, the Super Respin Bonus costs A$500 (100 times the bet) and the Ultra Respin Bonus A$5,000 (1000 times).
Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark has one RTP version, 96.50%. RTP means the return to player over a long run of play, and it does not predict any single session. The table converts the RTP into money for A$100 staked.
