Gates of Olympus
Slots · Released February 25, 2021
The 2021 original, and still the version with the most searches in Canada of any Gates release. Zeus drops multiplier orbs onto a 6x5 scatter-pays grid, the orbs add together, and the whole thing resolves through tumbles. High volatility rather than the very high of its sequels, with a 5,000x cap and the same 96.5% RTP all three versions share.

How Gates of Olympus pays

What Gates of Olympus actually does
Gates of Olympus pays by scatter pays across a 6x5 grid, the format on 29 of the 221 games in this catalogue.
The published ceiling of 5,000x is reached by compounding: paying symbols clear, the gaps refill and the multiplier carries across the chain instead of resetting between drops.
Buy Bonus and Ante Bet shorten the wait at a higher stake. That widens the swing on a high-volatility game without moving the 96.5% return, and several regulated markets switch the option off entirely.

Gates of Olympus questions
Should I play the original Gates of Olympus or one of the 1000 versions?
The RTP is 96.5% in all of them, so it comes down to tolerance. The original is high volatility with a 5,000x cap and the most forgiving of the three on a modest bankroll. The 1000 and Super Scatter versions raise the ceiling to 15,000x and 50,000x but go very high on volatility.
How do the multiplier orbs combine in Gates of Olympus?
Every orb that lands during a tumble sequence has its value added to a running total, and that total is applied once the sequence finishes. Two 100x orbs are 200x, not 10,000x. The multiplication happens against your win, not between the orbs.
What is the RTP of Gates of Olympus?
96.5%, published by Pragmatic Play. That is 0 points above the 96.5% median of the other 39 Pragmatic Play games with a page here. Against the 220 published returns across the whole catalogue it is 0.3 points above the 96.2% median.

What is the maximum win on Gates of Olympus?
