A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, themed around Dragons, Fantasy, Medieval and Treasure. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and a win needs at least 3 matching symbols on a payline. The symbols run from WILD, Queen, Crown, Shield and Sword down to A, K, Q, J and 10. The paytable shows amounts at the A$0.40 bet, so check your bet against it.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. Inside those spins, reels 2, 3 and 4 spin together and can form a Giant Symbol. Six or more MONEY symbols start the Respin Bonus, where each new MONEY hit resets the count to three respins. A full grid ends the round with a 7000x MEGA bonus.

Not knowing how the bonus looks before a stake is the worry these screens remove.
50 to 1,000 times the stake sets the price of each buy; the money at the example top bet is in the table.

Here is how the three modes start, what happens inside them, and what you receive.
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. A giant SCATTER adds 3 spins, and a giant MONEY symbol awards the Respin Bonus.
Base game spinsFree spins
6+ MONEY symbols trigger the Respin Bonus. The grid then respins while holding only MONEY symbols. Each new MONEY symbol resets the 3 respins. The round ends on a full grid, which adds a +7000x MEGA bonus, or when the respins run out.
Any spinRespin rounds
5 reels x 3 rows make a fixed grid with 10 fixed paylines. Wins pay from left to right, starting on the leftmost reel. The paylines are fixed, so you cannot choose how many lines are active.

Five steps, one spin
Luckystar lays out each round in the order the game runs it, without shortcuts or promises.
A$0.10 to A$250 is the bet range, and the choice of bet sets the money value of every win. The grid stays at 5x3 with 10 fixed paylines whatever you stake.
5x3 is the grid, and wins form across its 10 fixed paylines from the leftmost reel to the right. 3 matching symbols are the fewest that pay.
6 or more MONEY symbols on the 5x3 grid start the Respin Bonus. Wild and Money Collect are the other base features listed for this slot.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere award 8, 12 or 50 free spins. Reels 2, 3 and 4 then spin together, and a giant symbol can span them.
A$5 is the largest example bet on this page, and no session result is known before the first spin. Set your budget first and stop when it is spent.
6+ MONEY symbols start the Respin Bonus, yet how often a session reaches that count is not known in advance and cannot be worked out from the lobby. The result of one session is random, and it stays random whatever the RTP, so no past session predicts the next one.
A$100 staked is the basis of the RTP figure, but which RTP version Luckystar Casino runs is shown only in the game rules. The game rules are the only place that version appears, so check them before the first spin.
20,000 times the bet is the most this slot pays, and a win that size is reached very rarely. The ceiling is a limit on the payout, not an expectation for any session. Its money value depends on the bet, so check the paytable before choosing a stake.
Demo mode
This settles whether you can test the reels before paying anything and what the demo leaves out.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account with Luckystar Casino and players aged 18 or older.
Play for realSleeping Dragon Ultra Dark
Luckystar Casino shows the RTP, the bonus costs and the limits before the first spin.
Sleeping Dragon Ultra Dark has an RTP of 96.50%, calculated on A$100 staked. The game has one RTP version. RTP is an average across a very long run, so it does not predict the result of one session.
Four buy options exist, and each costs a fixed multiple of the bet. Respin Bonus and Free Spins cost 50 times the bet, Super Respin Bonus 100 times and Ultra Respin Bonus 1,000 times. At the A$5 example bet they are A$250, A$250, A$500 and A$5,000 in that order.
This slot has high volatility. Wins come less often than in low volatility slots, and a single win can be much larger than the bet. Nobody can know in advance how often the bonus appears or how a session ends.
The maximum win is 20,000 times the bet. On the A$5 example bet that is A$100,000, and at the highest bet allowed here, A$250, it is A$5,000,000. A maximum is a ceiling, not an expected result.
