Pragmatic Play · 2026
Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark is a high volatility Pragmatic Play video slot on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines. The page covers payouts and bonus modes.
A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines forms the base of this game, built around dragons, fantasy, medieval and treasure themes. A win needs at least 3 matching symbols on a payline. Wins pay from left to right, starting on the leftmost reel. Symbols include WILD, Queen, Crown, Shield and Sword, plus the card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 then spin together and can form a Giant Symbol, while a giant SCATTER adds 3 spins. Six or more MONEY symbols trigger the Respin Bonus, where 3 respins reset on each new MONEY hit. A full grid ends it with a 7000x MEGA bonus.

Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark Features
Three modes run here, and this block settles how each one begins and unfolds.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 then spin together and can form a giant symbol spanning all three; a giant SCATTER adds 3 spins and a giant MONEY launches the Respin Bonus.
Paying SpinExtra Spins
Six or more MONEY symbols start the respin round: the grid respins with only MONEY symbols held in place, and 3 respins reset every time a new MONEY lands. Filling every position adds a 7000x MEGA bonus, and the round ends when respins run out.
Money On ReelsHeld Values
Five reels and 3 rows sit on 10 fixed paylines, and wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel. Three matching symbols on a line open a payout, and the higher symbols carry the bigger figures in the table above.

Round steps
Covers the order of a round, from your bet to the end of the bonus.
A$0.10 to A$250 is the bet range, and you pick it before each spin. The paytable uses A$5, and the examples here use A$5 and A$10.
5 reels x 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines make up the grid. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and a line needs 3 matching symbols to pay.
10 symbols fill the fixed 5 reels x 3 rows grid, WILD included. The bonus modes add Free Spins, Giant Symbol and Hold and Spin.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 spin together and can form a giant symbol across them.
A$250 is the highest bet here, so set a limit before the first spin. The Respin Bonus ends on a full grid or when its respins run out.
96.50 per cent is the RTP, a long-run average over many spins rather than the result of one session. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of a single session is random whatever the RTP, so a player can finish far above or far below the stake.
1 RTP version is listed for Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark. Which version Crownplay runs is shown only in the game rules. That version sets the RTP your stake works under, so read the rules section before the first spin and before you choose a bet.
20,000 times the bet is the ceiling of Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark, and it is reached very rarely. The ceiling is a limit on the game, not an expected result. No session can be planned around it, and a large win stays a chance, not a plan.
Practice Play
Worried about spending real money before you know how the game works?
A$0.10 is the lowest bet, but the demo needs no money and pays nothing. Real play needs a Crownplay Casino account and an age of 18+.
Start playingThe legal age is 18+. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 for support, or self-exclude through BetStop.
Fix a budget before you start, and count it as money you can lose. At A$10 a spin, A$100 covers only ten spins.
Decide the stop point before you play, and keep it after a win. Wins on this high volatility game come in irregular gaps.
Set deposit and loss limits in the account before you bet, and keep them unchanged during play. Limits set in advance hold up better than limits chosen mid-session.
Take a break as soon as the game stops being fun, or self-exclude through BetStop if the urge to chase losses returns.

Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark
Most players ask how risky the game is and how big a win can get before staking.
96.50 percent is the RTP of Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark, and its high volatility means wins arrive in fewer, larger amounts. Results vary widely, so a single session can end well below the 96.50 percent return.
20,000 times the stake is the maximum win on Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark. On an A$10 bet that is A$200,000, and at the highest bet of A$250 it is A$5,000,000.
5 reels by 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines, and wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel. The minimum bet of A$0.10 lets you see how each round plays out before you raise the stake.
50 times the bet buys the Respin Bonus or the Free Spins, which is A$500 at A$10. The Super Respin Bonus costs 100 times the bet, and the Ultra Respin Bonus costs 1,000 times it, or A$10,000 at A$10.
