A 5x3 grid with 25 fixed paylines, all active on every spin, carries a dragon theme drawn from fantasy, medieval and money imagery. The total bet is one value, so you cannot pick lines one by one. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, and the paytable lists what each symbol pays in money. The jackpot ladder of MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA stays above the reels during base play.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols trigger 6, 9 or 50 free spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol during them, and a giant Scatter adds 3 spins. A giant MONEY symbol turns the round into the Respin Bonus. There, 6 or more MONEY symbols on one spin start 3 respins, and each new one resets it to 3.
100 times the total bet is the price of each bonus buy, so at A$10 that is A$1,000.

A$100 staked is the base for each payback figure here: the share of that stake returned to players over time. The version this site runs is shown in the game rules.

Extra Spins Await
Useful when three SCATTER symbols land and you want to know what comes next.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere trigger it and award 6, 9 or 50 spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol under an elevated paytable. A giant SCATTER retriggers 3 spins, and a giant MONEY symbol converts the round into the Respin Bonus.
Base Game reelsFree spins round
6 or more MONEY symbols on one spin trigger 3 respins. Each new MONEY hit resets the respin counter to 3. The feature ends when respins reach 0 or the 5x3 grid fills 15/15, which adds an extra 7000x total-bet MEGA bonus on top of the summed coin values.

Before first spin
Joefortune Casino shows each step in money, so the numbers come before the reels.
Set one total bet from A$0.10 up to A$250. All 25 paylines stay active, with no per-line choice. The MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA jackpot ladder stays visible above the reels.
A win forms when matching symbols land on one of 25 paylines, and 2 matching symbols can pay. The paytable lists payouts at the A$0.50 bet.
Sleeping Dragon uses Wild, Scatter, Giant Symbol, Hold and Spin and Prize Symbols. Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid open the Free Spins.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid award 6, 9 or 50 free spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 can merge into a giant symbol.

Three, four or five SCATTER symbols trigger the Free Spins, and six or more MONEY symbols on one spin trigger the Respin Bonus. How often either one lands is not known in advance. Each spin is random, so one session can end far above or below the 96.50 RTP.
96.50 is the RTP listed for Sleeping Dragon on this page. It means A$96.50 returned per A$100 staked over the long run. Which RTP version Joefortune Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so read them before the first spin.
x15,000 is the highest multiple of the bet that Sleeping Dragon pays. It is a ceiling, and it is reached very rarely, so no session can be planned around it. The cash amount depends on the bet, so the same x15,000 pays more at higher stakes.

Set a budget before the first Sleeping Dragon spin and stop when it is gone. Bets run from A$0.10 to A$250, so a balance can drain quickly.
Fix your stop point before any spin, and keep it after a win too. Sleeping Dragon has high volatility, so losing spins can follow a win.
Put deposit and loss limits on your account before you play Sleeping Dragon. Limits hold your spending in place even when a session feels lucky.
Take a break once Sleeping Dragon stops being fun, or self-exclude through BetStop if play feels out of control.
