Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark is a five reel, three row video slot from Pragmatic Play, wrapped in dragons, medieval treasure and torchlit fantasy. Ten fixed paylines run across the grid, and wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, so three matching symbols on a line are enough. Wilds substitute for the regular symbols, and money symbols carry their own cash values.
What separates it from the rest of the provider's catalogue is the locked middle. During free spins reels two, three and four turn as one block, so a single giant symbol can stretch across all three. Money symbols can collect into a hold and win round with resetting respins, and a full grid closes with a mega prize.
Each paid feature is priced as a multiple of the stake, so at the A$10 example bet the entry costs run from A$500 up to A$10,000.

Bet to payout in five moves
Useful when you are about to place a first A$1 spin and want the order of events.
Stake anywhere from the A$0.10 minimum to the A$250 ceiling, with A$1, A$5 and A$10 as the stakes used in the paytable examples on this page.
Five reels and three rows give ten fixed paylines. Wins run left to right from the leftmost reel, so combinations must start on reel one, with three symbols the minimum that pays.
Wilds substitute on the reels while MONEY symbols carry cash values; land six or more MONEY symbols in the base game and the Respin Bonus triggers, with three respins refunded on every new MONEY hit.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere open the Free Spins round with eight, twelve or fifty spins. Reels two, three and four then spin as one block and can lock into a giant symbol.
Before the reels move, fix the amount you are willing to lose. Reaching that figure ends the session, whatever the Respin Bonus is doing at the time.
Seeing the grid before you spin
Worth a look when you want the reel layout clear before committing a stake.
Free Spins Explained
Same three parts every round at Vegasnow Casino: the base grid, the free spins and the hold and win respin.
Land 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER anywhere for 8, 12 or 50 free spins. Reels 2-3-4 spin together and can form a giant symbol across them; a giant SCATTER adds 3 spins and a giant MONEY symbol starts the Respin Bonus.
Base gridGiant symbols
Six or more MONEY symbols start the respins. Only MONEY symbols stay and lock on the grid, and 3 respins reset each time another one lands. The round ends on a full grid with a 7000x MEGA bonus, or when respins run out.
MONEY hitsLocked values
Five reels and 3 rows on a fixed grid with 10 fixed paylines, all of them reading left to right from the leftmost reel, so a win needs the same symbol lined up from the first reel onwards. Stakes run from A$0.10 to A$250 a spin.

18+ is the entry age for the real game, which needs an account at Vegasnow Casino. The demo needs no money and pays nothing.
Play for real6+ MONEY symbols start the Respin Bonus, but how often that happens is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP of 96.50 percent says. A short run can end with nothing, and a long one can end with a big win. The RTP figure alone cannot forecast either.
96.50 percent is the RTP listed for Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark. Which RTP version applies to a session is shown only in the game rules, so check those before staking any money. Stake only what you can afford to lose.
x20,000 is the maximum win for Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark, and it is a ceiling reached very rarely. At the A$250 bet limit it pays A$5,000,000. A ceiling is the most a round can pay, not what a round usually pays.
Four Questions Answered
Read this before your first spin, when you want the RTP, bets or bonus costs at a glance.
96.50% is the RTP of Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark, which means A$96.50 back per A$100 staked over the long run. This slot runs one RTP version. An RTP is an average over many spins, so it cannot predict one session.
20,000 times the bet is the top payout of Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark. At the A$10 example top bet that is A$200,000, and at the highest bet of A$250 it reaches A$5,000,000. Nobody can know in advance whether a session reaches it.
A$500 buys the Respin Bonus or Free Spins at the A$10 example top bet. The Super Respin Bonus costs A$1,000 (100 times the bet) and the Ultra Respin Bonus costs A$10,000 (1,000 times). Each price is set against the bet, so a higher bet raises it.
A$0.10 is the lowest bet and A$250 the highest bet allowed here. A$1, A$5 and A$10 are the example bets used on this page, not the limits of the game. Your bet also sets the maximum win and the bonus buy costs.
18+ only. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 for help, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
A$0.10 spins and A$250 spins both draw from the same budget, so set one before you open the game.
Decide your stop point before the first spin, and keep it after a win as well as after a loss.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before a session, since A$250 bets drain a balance quickly.
When Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark stops being fun, take a break, and self-exclude through BetStop if the urge to chase returns.
