Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 is a festive holiday edition of Pragmatic Play’s powerful Zeus slot. While the mechanics are identical to Gates of Olympus 1000 (including the 6×5 grid, tumble feature, and massive max win potential of 15,000x your bet), the game has been completely re-themed for the Christmas season.
What’s Different in the Xmas Version
- Visual Theme
- All the colored gem symbols (Red, Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue) now appear with snow-covered tops.
- The overall visuals have been updated with winter effects, icy sparkles, and snowy animations.
- Zeus Becomes Santa
- Instead of his classic white robe, Zeus now wears a red Christmas outfit and a Santa hat.
- This change feels natural, as Zeus’ long white beard and hair already resemble Santa Claus – a clever seasonal twist from Pragmatic Play.
- Sound & Effects
- Background music and sound effects have been reworked to carry a Christmas vibe, adding bells, jingles, and festive tones.
- Spins and wins are accompanied by holiday-style audio cues.
- Special Multiplier Symbol
- The famous 1,000x multiplier symbol is no longer a diamond.
- In the Xmas edition, it appears as a pink star, further reinforcing the holiday theme.
Core Gameplay (Same as Gates of Olympus 1000)
- 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels award a payout.
- Tumbles remove winning symbols and allow new ones to drop in.
- Multipliers can hit randomly, ranging from 2x up to 1,000x.
- Free Spins: 4+ Scatters trigger 15 Free Spins, with multipliers collected into a global multiplier.
- Retriggers: Landing 3+ Scatters in the bonus adds +5 extra spins.
- Max Win: 15,000x your bet.
Why Play the Xmas Edition?
While the gameplay remains unchanged, the Christmas edition brings a fresh festive atmosphere that makes the slot feel special for the holiday season. Zeus as Santa is both playful and fitting, and the redesigned multipliers and visuals make it a seasonal treat without altering the high-stakes potential of the 1000 version.
