Sleeping Dragon review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

The enormous sleeping dragon hoards wealth, but if you're really lucky, he might share his money with you! As much as up to 15,000x your stake, in fact.

The background of the Sleeping Dragon slot game is drenched in opulent shades of red and gold. The game grid doesn't take up as much of the screen as in other slot games, because a lot of the focus is on the dragon character. You'll find him asleep above the game grid, resting on a huge pile of gold coins and other treasures.

The background music goes a long way to creating an atmosphere – it's a stomping drum beat that sounds almost menacing.

Gameplay

The game is played on a very simple grid of five reels and three rows, with 25 paylines. To win, you'll need to land identical symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting with reel number one. Sleeping Dragon also comes with four fixed jackpot prizes, ranging in size from 20x to 7,000x your stake amount.

High-paying symbols to look out for include the princess and her sword, shield, and crown. You'll trigger smaller wins by landing the A, K, Q, J, and 10 symbols.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The Wild symbol is represented by a fierce knight, and it can appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. The Wild substitutes for all other symbols (except Scatters) to help complete winning combinations.

The fiery dragon is the Scatter, and it can appear on any reels. Land 3, 4, or 5 Scatters to get into the bonus round, where you'll be awarded 6, 9, or 50 Free Spins, respectively. During Free Spins, reels 2, 3, and 4 spin together to form a Giant Symbol, and symbol payouts are different from the base game.

The Money symbol is a gold coin, which has the ability to appear on all reels. Every time the Money symbol hits, it takes on a random value of between 1x and 80x your stake or the Minor (100x) or Major (300x) jackpot amount.

Landing six or more of the Money symbols anywhere on the grid triggers the Respins feature. If even one Money symbol lands, there's a chance that the sleeping dragon might wake up and add more coins to the grid, triggering the Respins.

At the end of the Respins round, all money symbols are added together and awarded, and if you fill up the entire grid, you'll get the Mega jackpot of 7,000x your stake.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

Sleeping Dragon has a Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 96.50%, just a little above the industry average that we want to see from any modern video slot. The volatility of the game is high, so you might need to wait a little longer to land a win, but they tend to be larger. Both of these factors make for exciting gameplay, and they're major reasons why we would recommend this slot.

The maximum win is set at a relatively generous 15,000x your stake. Use the coin value and bet amount options to adjust your total stake size. You can play for between $/€/£0.10 and $/€/£250 per spin.

Conclusion

We've come to expect a lot from Pragmatic Play slots, and while this one might not be groundbreaking, it still has a few features that make it worth playing. The visuals are pretty standard, but the Respins feature, four jackpot prizes, and bonus rounds of up to 50 Free Spins all go a long way toward saving this slot. The maximum win of 15,000x your stake is pretty generous, plus you might just bag 7,000x if you land the Mega jackpot.
