Symbols land on a 5x3 grid, five reels wide and three rows high, and all 25 fixed paylines are active on every spin. The theme blends dragons, fantasy and medieval imagery, with Princess, Crown, Shield and Sword next to the card symbols A, K, Q, J and 10. A win pays from as few as two matching symbols. Bet size is one total value, so no paylines are chosen by hand.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start Free Spins, which awards 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can then merge into a Giant Symbol. A Giant MONEY symbol switches the round into the Respin Bonus, where six or more MONEY symbols on one spin trigger three respins. Free Spins and the Respin Bonus can be bought.
Know each payout
Read this before the first spin, when the bet and the reels are still unfamiliar.
The reels spin on one total bet, set between A$0.10 and A$250, and all 25 paylines stay active at every stake.
Symbols that land on the 5x3 grid form a win once two matching ones sit on the same fixed payline, the fewest that pays.
Scatter symbols count anywhere on the 5x3 grid, so no payline is needed for them, and Wild and Prize Symbols share the same reels.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols land anywhere on the reels and start Free Spins of 6, 9 or 50 spins. A giant SCATTER retriggers for 3 more spins.
The reels decide when a bonus arrives, and nobody can know that in advance, so set your limit before the first spin.
Round rules
Read this before the first spin if you want to know when free spins and respins start.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels award 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol under an elevated paytable. Giant SCATTER symbols retrigger with 3 more spins. A giant MONEY symbol converts it into the Respin Bonus.
Base game spinExtra spins
6 or more MONEY symbols on one spin trigger 3 respins. Each new MONEY hit resets the counter to 3. It ends when respins reach 0 or the 5x3 grid fills 15/15, and a full grid adds a 7000x total-bet MEGA bonus on top of the summed coin values.
Any reel spinRespin rounds
The 5x3 grid runs 25 fixed paylines, all active at one total bet with no per-line selection. The MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA jackpot ladder stays visible above the reels throughout.

Not knowing how a bonus screen looks until it appears, the most common worry before the first spin.
The price is 100 times the total bet, so at A$10 each buy costs A$1,000 for either bonus.

Play modes
It settles what the demo offers and what playing for money requires from you.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at Hunnyplay Casino and the 18+ age limit.
Play for moneySpins land at random, and the Free Spins or the Respin Bonus can start on any of them, so no one can know when. How often they come is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a short run can finish far above or far below what the RTP suggests.
Each reel stop sets the result. Which RTP version Hunnyplay Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so check there before you play. The table above gives the money figures for that version at each bet.
A win pays only when matching symbols land on a payline, and the top prize is a ceiling. The maximum win is set as a multiple of the bet and reached very rarely, so treat it as the upper edge of the paytable, not as an expectation.
5 questions, plain answers
This block settles the bonus rules, the bets, the maximum win and the volatility before you start.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start the Free Spins, awarding 6, 9 or 50 spins. During the round, reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol, and a giant SCATTER adds 3 spins.
A winning spin on the 25 fixed paylines can reach x15,000 of the total bet, which is A$3,750,000 at the A$250 maximum bet. The top prize is a ceiling, not a typical result, and nobody can know in advance whether a session reaches it.
The trigger spin of a bought Free Spins round lands three to five SCATTER symbols, and the bought Respin Bonus lands six MONEY symbols. Both buys are available at 100 times the total bet, which is A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet.
Each spin on the 5x3 grid uses one total bet, and all 25 paylines stay active without per-line selection. The total bet runs from A$0.10 up to A$250, the highest bet allowed here, and the examples on this page use A$1, A$2 and A$10.
Wins on the reels in Sleeping Dragon arrive unevenly, since the game has high volatility and results swing more widely between small and large returns. The rating says nothing about how often the Free Spins or Respin Bonus will trigger, and nobody can know that before a session starts.
