Grid / Paylines / and Symbol Payouts
this slot plays across a 5×3 grid with 10 fixed paylines. Winning combinations start on the first reel and travel left to right across adjacent reels. Wilds substitute for regular symbols; Scatters and Money Symbols do not.
The standard symbol paytable runs from the Wild and Princess (both paying 10x for five) down to the 10 card (0.7x for five). Mid-tier symbols like the Crown, Shield, and Sword fill the gap. The math profile hints at the main upgrade: maximum win has jumped from 15,000x in the original to 20,000x the bet.
Volatility sits at high, hit frequency is 33.78%, and stakes range from 0.1 to 240 per spin. The dragon shows signs of life fairly often, though serious payouts demand considerably more luck.
Respin Bonus Game and Money Egg
The Respin Bonus Game triggers when at least 6 Money symbols land on the grid. If the reels stop just short, random Money symbols may drop from above and fill empty positions. Reaching 6 or more starts the round.
The feature begins with 3 respins. Every new Money symbol locks in place and resets the counter to 3. The round ends when all 15 grid positions fill or respins run out – then all values on the grid are added together and paid. Filling the entire grid also awards the 7,000x Mega Jackpot.
Regular Money symbols carry values from 1x to 80x the bet. Fixed jackpot prizes appear on some symbols:
- Mini: 20x
- Minor: 100x
- Major: 200x
The Money Egg is the main addition to this bonus. When one lands, its value is decided through a separate 3×3 mini grid at the end of the respin round. The mini feature starts with 3 respins and can land blanks or Money symbols. Each new Money symbol resets the counter to 3. All collected values are added to the Egg once the round ends. Filling all 8 positions around the Egg adds another 400x to its final value.
If all 15 positions on the base grid contain Money symbols on the same spin, their combined values are paid together with the 7,000x Mega Jackpot.
Free Spins and Giant Symbols
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols awards 8, 12, or 50 Free Spins. During the feature, the middle three reels spin together and can display a single giant symbol.
A mega Scatter adds 3 Free Spins. A mega Money symbol carries a value from 5x up to the 200x Major Jackpot and triggers the Respin Bonus Game. On some non-winning spins, the giant symbol can also be replaced by a Wild or a Money symbol. A Money replacement sends the game straight into the respin round.
Bonus Buy Options
this slot includes four Bonus Buy tiers. Each offers a direct path into the bonus feature at a fixed cost.
| Feature | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Respin Round | 50x bet | Triggers regular Respin Bonus Game |
| Standard Free Spins | 50x bet | Opens regular Free Spins feature |
| Super Respin Round | 100x bet | Money symbol values up to 1,000x |
| Ultra Respin Round | 1,000x bet | Money symbol values up to 10,000x |
The Ultra Respin Round carries a steep entry cost. Pragmatic Play has used similarly expensive purchases before, though the potential here does not fully justify such a high buy-in.
RTP and Betting Range
The headline rate is 96.5%. Stakes range from 0.1 to 240 per spin, giving players broad flexibility on bet size.
Theme and Design
this slot keeps the fantasy theme of the original but rebuilds the scene around a darker setting. The reels now stand inside an abandoned castle, with ruined stonework, stained-glass windows, and green mist surrounding the game area. The gold pile has been moved above the reels, where a black dragon with gold accents sleeps across the treasure.
The reel frame follows the same darker direction. Symbols retain the polished fantasy style associated with Pragmatic Play. Artwork and animations meet the provider’s usual technical standard. Sound design works well with the setting, using restrained effects and darker background music to support the abandoned-castle atmosphere.
