Pick this game if you want a Chinese dragon theme on a 5x3 grid with five fixed paylines. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, and wins run from the leftmost reel across adjacent reels. The symbols include gold ingots, a coin-frog charm, peaches, paper lanterns and the letters A, K, Q and J. The main mechanic is a money-symbol round called Hold and Spin, started by five or more money symbols.
Choose this game over other Pragmatic Play slots if you want a round that rebuilds the grid. In Hold and Spin, normal symbols fade and the grid becomes 15 positions of money symbols and empty cells. Each new money symbol resets the respin counter to four. A completely filled grid triggers the Big Money Wheel Bonus nested inside that round.
Read the return to player as an average, not a promise. Per A$100 staked, it is the long-run share paid back. Sessions can end above or below it. The game rules show the version in use.

Bonus rules
At Gtbets Casino every trigger and reset is written out, so you can check it first.
5+ money symbols landing on one base-game spin start Hold and Spin. The grid becomes special reels of money symbols and empty cells, 15 positions. Respins start at 4, and each new money symbol resets them to 4. It ends when respins run out or all 15 positions fill.
Base game spinSummed total win
The Big Money Wheel Bonus is nested inside Hold and Spin. It triggers if the 15-position grid becomes completely filled with money symbols. Every one of the 15 positions must hold a money symbol.

The base game uses 5 reels x 3 rows and 5 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels, from the leftmost reel. Each line pays its highest win, multiplied by the bet per line; line wins are summed. The RTP is 96.70%, with high volatility.

At Gtbets Casino each picture matches a rule you can read in the steps on this page.
Bet with clear limits
After this, you will know how a round moves from your bet to the final payout.
Set a bet from A$0.05 up to A$250 before the first spin. Each line win is multiplied by the bet per line, and the example bets are A$0.20 and A$10.
Start reading wins at the leftmost reel and move right across adjacent reels. Each of the five fixed paylines pays only its highest win, and the wins on all lines are summed.
Check the five features before you spin: Hold and Spin, Money Collect, Scatter, Wheel Bonus and Wild. Wheel Bonus opens only when every position holds a money symbol.
Land five or more money symbols anywhere on one base-game spin to start Hold and Spin. Normal symbols fade and the 15 positions become reels of money symbols and empty cells.
Set your budget and stop point before the first spin. A session cannot be predicted, because any round can end with respins gone or the grid full.
Spin Without Spending
Settles the cost of the demo, the requirements of the real game, and who may play.
Choose the demo to play with no money, since it pays nothing. Choose the real game only with an account and at the legal age of 18+.
Play for realDecide your stake knowing that the bonus round does not come on a schedule. How often Hold and Spin starts is not known in advance, and no figure on this page changes that. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP says about the long run. A session can end well below or above that RTP.
Open the game rules before the first spin, because the RTP version Gtbets Casino runs is shown only there. Dragon Hot Hold and Spin is listed at 96.70%. Read the figure in the rules panel before you set a stake, and keep the rules open while you play.
Pick your bet with the maximum win in view, since the ceiling of Dragon Hot Hold and Spin is x20,000 the bet. At a bet of A$10, that ceiling comes to A$200,000. The maximum win is reached very rarely, so treat it as the limit of the game, not a result to plan around.
This game is for players aged 18+. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop to self-exclude.
Set a budget before the first spin and keep each stake within it. When the budget runs out, the session ends, even if a win seems close.
Set your stop point before the session begins, and keep it after a win too. A big win does not change the limit you set.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you open a game. Limits are easier to keep when they are set in advance.
Take a break once the game stops being fun, and do not chase losses. If breaks do not help, self-exclude.

Right before you spin
Gtbets Casino lists every figure a player needs before the first spin.
Compare the RTP before you choose a bet. Dragon Hot Hold and Spin has one RTP version, 96.70%, which is the figure the game returns over a long run. On average that means A$96.70 back for every A$100 staked, though a single session can end higher or lower.
Plan your session for high volatility. Dragon Hot Hold and Spin is rated 5 of 5 lightning bolts, the top mark, so results can swing widely from spin to spin. When a bonus or a large win lands cannot be known in advance.
Weigh the top prize before you bet. The maximum win is x20,000 your bet, which is A$200,000 at the A$10 example bet and A$5,000,000 at the A$250 maximum bet. Whether a win of that size lands cannot be known in advance.
Pick a bet between A$0.05 and A$250, the lowest and highest stakes allowed here. The A$0.20, A$0.50 and A$10 bets on this page are examples and do not set the limits.
Read the paytable before you place a first bet. It is shown at A$0.20, and the lowest bet of A$0.05 keeps early spins small. The two modes, Base Game and Hold and Spin, follow different rules, so read both before a session.
