People love to say gambling never pays – usually the ones who’ve played twice, lost both times, and now treat casinos like exes with unresolved trauma.

And yeah, let’s be honest: dry spells are real. Some last hours. Others feel like they were prophesied by ancient weather gods. But when the rain comes? Oh, it floods – maybe not all the time, and maybe not for you… yet.

But certainly for the player who won $117,643 yesterday at BitStarz. No scam, no weird voodoo magic – just one hell of a spin on a game called Sleeping Dragon slot.

So, if you’re stuck in a drought… don’t lose hope. Big wins really can be one spin away.

Mid-Tier Bet. Top-Tier Win

Now, I know what you’re thinking – “This player probably bet the GDP of a small country to win that.” Wrong.

They were spinning at $16.69 a pop. That’s a sweet spot – not quite penny slot energy, but nowhere near the $200+ bets that some high-rollers go for. Just a comfortable, mid-tier wager many players wouldn’t blink at.

And guess what? Sleeping Dragon slot rewarded that bet with a 7,049x payout. So yeah, turns out you don’t need to bet big to win big. Sometimes, staying in your lane is the jackpot strategy.

Hold. Spin. Freak Out.

You know when you’re playing a Hold and Win game, and it casually says, “Fill the grid to win the Grand Jackpot”? And you roll your eyes because that’s basically slot folklore at this point?

Well, it happened.

Our winner triggered the Hold and Win bonus in Sleeping Dragon slot by Pragmatic Play, kicked off their 3 respins, and started stacking prize coins like a hoarder with a fridge magnet. The Mini Jackpot joined the party too.

And all of a sudden, last spin left, boom – last empty grid position filled. Watching it back is probably the most satisfying thing I’ve done all week. Apart from cleaning out my dog’s paw gunk with an earbud.

The result? The Grand Jackpot worth 7,000x, plus all those extra coin prizes. So no, this isn’t some unicorn-level event. It’s real. It happens. And it just paid out $117K.

When the Dragon Delivers

Sleeping Dragon slot doesn’t just have Hold and Win. It also comes with Free Spins, and for the impatient, a Buy Bonus that gets you straight into the action. But this player? They didn’t need any of that.

No bonus buys. No shortcuts. Just fate, timing, and one very polite bet amount.

It’s a very high volatility game, sure. Which means it won’t always feed wins – but when it does, it goes full fire-breathing beast mode. Clearly.

So go ahead. Spin the dragon, hold the win – you never know when the grid will fill, jackpots will hit and when your screen will turn into a confetti cannon. Hell, it could be today!
