Gates of Olympus 1000 Review by Pragmatic Play

The Gates of Olympus 1000 is played on 6 x 5 grid and it’s a Scatter Pays game. Therefore, winning combinations are formed when you match at least 8 symbols on any spin. The symbols can be anywhere on the screen, unlike Cluster Pays games, where they must be adjacent.

Bets for this game start at 10p and go up to £100. You can use the plus and minus buttons button to adjust your bet amount. Non-UK players can utilise the Autoplay and Quick Spin sections.

The RTP rate is 96.5%, which is well above the online average of 96%. There are also rates of 95% and 94% available so it’s good to look around. 

You’ll find a volatility rating of 'very high' and the base game hit frequency rate is 28.41% which means it will land every 3.52 spins. Triggering the free spins will occur 1 in 448 times on average.

The maximum win is 15,000 x the bet which means that the odds of winning the max win is 1 in 2,749,771 spins. Wining 1,000 times your total bet or high will occur every 45,036 spins on average. 

The game’s name gives a pretty clear picture of this game’s setting. You’re swept up to the magnificent Mount Olympus, where Zeus sits on his mighty throne as the King of the Gods. The creatives show an opulent palace bathed in gold and iridescent colours. And in the background you can see imposing columns topped with huge flames. Zeus himself is suspended above the palace floor, looking very powerful. The music is explosive and dramatic to match the mythology theme.

When you trigger the bonus game, you enter the Free Spins bonus feature, where you enter a more traditional blue sky and fluffy clouds setting.

The gold gilded grid is made up of to look ssumptuous with various sparkly gemstones and golden goodies.

There are several bonus features to enjoy as part of the Gates of Olympus 1000 slot, let me tell you about them right now:

Free Spins 

When 4 or more Scatters land, it triggers the Free Spins bonus round, where 15 free spins are awarded. Additionally, 4, 5 or 6 scatters will result in a 3, 5 or 100 x bet payout.

During the round, when the Orb Multiplier hits and the spin results in a win, the Orb Multiplier value gets added to the total multiplier. Whenever any new Orb Multiplier symbol hits and results in a win, the multiplier value is also used to multiplier the win. When 3 or more Scatters land, 5 additional free spins are awarded.

Tumble feature

When a winning combination lands on the grid it is then removed from play and is replaced by new symbols which fall from the top of the grid. This gives you more chances of a winning combo. Tumbling continues until there are no more winning combinations.

Multiplier feature

The Orb Multiplier symbols can land during the base game, and Free Spins bonus round triggering the Multiplier ferature. Whenever an Orb Multiplier symbol lands, it takes a random multiplier value which can be: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x or 100x. when a spin finishes, all Orb Multiplier symbols on the screen are added together and applied to your final value.

Ante Bet

If you're not in the UK, you can spend 25x the bet to double your chance of winning free spins as more Scatters will land on the grid.

Buy Free Spins

Again if you’re not UK-based, you can buy entry into the Free Spins bonus round for 100x the bet amount. When you buy this, 4 Scatters are guaranteed to land on the grid.

The original Gates of Olympus was a hit for Pragmatic Play, so this game is a welcome sequel. It is an improvement as the Orb Multipliers are now higher as they go all the way up to 1000x (they were x500 for the original game). And the max win has grown from 5,000 x the bet up to an impressive 15,000 x  the bet.

The game's Orb Multipliers are certainly the highlight, and when they are all added together and applied to your final value at the end, it can really add up if there have been some decent amounts.

The game looks very similar to the original, and the design is high-quality, like most of Pragmatic Play’s titles. We’ve written a guide to the best Pragmatic Play slots, which is worth reading.

The 96.50% RTP is well above the online average, so this is very welcome.

This straightforward and entertaining slot improves on the ever-popular original, so it scores a 4.1 out of 5.
