Sleeping Dragon Slot Review
Sneak mythical treasures under the Dragon’s nose in Pragmatic Play’s latest release, Sleeping Dragon!
We’re heading into the belly of the beast in the latest fantasy-themed release from Pragmatic Play. Blending storytelling with engaging gameplay, fantasy slots such as this are a great choice for players influenced by imagination and wonder. Whether you’re mesmerised by the rebirth of the Phoenix or empowered by the fire-breathing Dragon, there’s something for everyone in this particular category.
As the Dragon sleeps peacefully, the action continues in the base game, where 6+ Money symbols trigger a nifty Respins Bonus. Sticky money symbols remain on the reels, while filling the entire grid awards an additional 7,000x your bet. Do you dare to enter the Dragon’s lair and wake it from its slumber?
Base Game & Features
Sleeping Dragon is a highly volatile 5-reel, 3-row Video Slot with 25 fixed pay lines and varying bet sizes between £.€0.10 and £.€250 per spin. Other attributes include an overall RTP of 96.50% and a sizable max win cap of 15,000x your bet.
Wins occur when 2-5 matching symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Paytable symbols include crowns, shields, swords, and 5 low-paying card suits (A-10), awarding wins between 0.2x and 6x your bet. In addition, Wild symbols appear on reels 2-5, substituting for all symbols except Scatter and Money symbols.
Respin Bonus Feature
During gameplay, special Money symbols with values between 1x and 80x your bet can appear on the reels. Occasionally, Money symbols may also reveal Jackpot Prizes of Mini (20x), Minor (100x), or Major (300x your bet). If all 15 positions in the base game are occupied by a Money symbol, the Mega Jackpot (7,000x) is instantly awarded.
Landing 6 or more Money symbols triggers the Respin Bonus feature, awarding 3 refilling spins. Alternatively, landing 1 Money symbol in the base game can result in the Dragon waking up to reveal an additional +5 Money symbols, thus triggering the feature.
At the start of the feature, all paytable symbols fade out, leaving only Money symbols active on the reels. Each additional Money symbol that hits during Respins will remain in position until the end of the feature, resetting the spins meter to 3. At the end of the feature, all Money symbol values are added and applied to your total win for the round.
Bonus Buy
- Respins Bonus Feature: Instantly triggers with 6 or more Money symbols (100x your bet)
- Free Spins: Enter directly into the Free Spins mode with 3, 4, or 5 triggering Scatters (100x your bet)
Sleeping Dragon Slot Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters in the base game triggers the Free Spins mode, awarding 6, 9, and 50 Free Spins, respectively.
In this round, reels 2, 3, and 4 spin together as one, creating a Giant symbol. If a Giant Scatter hits, an additional +3 Free Spins are awarded. The giant Money symbol acts as one singular symbol and will award its value once.
During a random non-winning spin, there is a chance that the Giant symbol will be replaced with a Money symbol. Lastly, paytable symbols award payouts between 0.2x and 4x your bet during this time.
Our Honest Verdict
Admittedly, when we first locked eyes with Sleeping Dragon, we were surprised to find a classic aesthetic and a slightly ill-proportioned reel frame. It seems that Pragmatic Play gave their all to the desirable backdrop and fire-breathing Dragon, but left little room for the most important part.
If you squint hard enough, you may catch a glimpse of the 4 Jackpot Prizes sitting above the main reel set. We’ve played our fair share of Jackpot slots, and the values found here can be considered rather generous. In order to acquire such prizes, you will need to land 6+ Money/Jackpot symbols in the base game. However, the Mega Jackpot is reserved until all 15 positions are filled with Money symbols.
Things become slightly more interesting during Free Spins, with the addition of a Giant symbol. The 3 middle reels lock as one to reveal 1 giant symbol in the middle during each spin. With the help of the giant symbol, payouts are never far or few between, but it comes at a cost. Paytable symbols decline in value during this round, and if a Money symbol should become a Giant symbol, its value is only awarded once.
Should you find yourself compelled to give Sleeping Dragon a spin, you can find this game and others like it at independent casino sites with fresh content.
