Reels turn on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, and wins pay from left to right. Two matching symbols starting on the left reel are enough for a win, the fewest that pay in this game. The theme is Chinese with dragons, so the symbols include a dragon boat, a koi fish pair, a peacock kite and a golden dragon head Scatter. Card symbols A, K, Q and J also appear.
Three money symbols filling the middle reel trigger Hold and Spin, with respins that reset on each new money hit. Scatter symbols trigger Free Spins, and Wild symbols then appear on every reel to collect fish money. Every fourth Wild adds more spins with a rising multiplier, and the round has a cap on the total bet. Money Collect and Multiplier are features too.
Over many spins, the reels hand back an average share of every A$100 staked. That share is the RTP, and the version Oz Casino runs is shown in the game rules.

Know what pays
At Oz Casino, each round is set out in plain steps before the first bet.
The five reels stand still while you choose a bet between A$0.10 and A$250. The examples on this page use A$0.50, A$2 and A$10.
Matching symbols land across the 5x3 grid and pay when they line up from the left reel along one of 10 fixed paylines. Two matching symbols are enough to pay.
On the five reels, the golden dragon head SCATTER counts toward Free Spins and MONEY symbols build toward Hold & Spin. Wild and Multiplier appear once Free Spins start.
Three or more SCATTER symbols start Free Spins of 10, 15 or 20 spins. Wild then appears on every reel, and each fourth Wild adds 10 more spins.
Each spin on the reels takes the bet from your balance, so fix a limit before the first spin.
Collect more money
After this, you will know how each bonus starts, runs and ends before you spin.
Three money symbols filling the middle reel start Hold & Spin. You get 3 respins, and each new money hit resets the count to 3. The minimum bonus win is X20. Diamond money on reels 1, 2, 4 and 5 has values of 100x-4993x.
Base GameRespins and bonus
Three or more scatters start Free Spins of 10, 15 or 20 spins. Wild appears on all reels and collects fish money. Every 4th wild retriggers 10 more spins, with a multiplier escalating through 2x, 3x and 10x, up to 3 retriggers. The round is capped at 5000x total bet.
Three scattersFree Spins
Spins land across five reels of three rows, with 10 fixed paylines. Wins pay from left to right, and as few as 2 matching symbols can pay. Every round starts here, and Hold & Spin and Free Spins can trigger from it.

Learn The Reels First
Oz Casino lets you try the reels before any money goes in.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account at Oz Casino and the legal age, 18+.
Play for moneyEach spin lands new symbols on the five reels, so nobody can say when the Hold & Spin round or the Free Spins will arrive. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. A dry run can end on the next spin, and a lucky one can stop cold.
The five reels follow the RTP version the game runs. Only the game rules show which version Oz Casino runs, so check them before you start. The RTP tells you what share of a stake returns over a very large number of spins, and it says nothing about the next session.
On the five reels, a big hit can come through the Free Spins or the Hold & Spin round, but the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. Reaching it depends on luck in a single session, and no one can plan for it.
Know before spinning
The worry before the first spin: what a bet costs and when free spins start.
Five reels, three rows and 10 fixed paylines make up the base game. This version adds a Hold and Spin round and Free Spins with retriggers, so compare its maximum win of x5,000 your bet with the other versions before you pick one.
Every spin on the reels uses the bet you choose, from A$0.10 to A$250. The paytable shows wins for a bet of A$0.50, while A$2 and A$10 appear only as examples.
Over many spins on the reels, the game returns 96.71% of the amount staked, on average. The figure is calculated on A$100 staked and describes a very long run, not one session. This version has one RTP, so there is no version to choose.
Three or more SCATTER symbols (golden dragon head) on the reels start Free Spins of 10, 15 or 20 spins. Wilds then appear on all reels and collect FISH MONEY. Every fourth WILD adds 10 more spins, for up to 3 retriggers, with multipliers of 2x, 3x and 10x.
The reels keep the same 5x3 layout and 10 fixed paylines at every bet. Learn these triggers before the first bet: 3 MONEY symbols filling the middle reel start Hold and Spin, and 3 or more SCATTER symbols start Free Spins.
