Gates of Olympus is one of the most famous slots from Pragmatic Play, featuring the mighty Zeus. It is a 6×5 grid slot with a tumble mechanic, high volatility, and big win potential up to 5,000x your bet.
Unlike traditional slots with paylines, Gates of Olympus uses a “Pay Anywhere” system:
- You need at least 8 identical symbols anywhere on the reels to score a payout.
- The more symbols you land, the bigger the payout.
- Payouts go up to 30 symbols in view.
The Tumble Feature
- After every winning spin, the winning symbols disappear.
- Remaining symbols fall down, and new ones drop from above.
- This can create new winning combinations in the same spin.
- The process continues until no more wins occur.
Scatter Symbol (Zeus)
- Zeus is the Scatter symbol.
- It pays in any position.
- Landing 4 or more Scatters triggers the Free Spins bonus round.
Multiplier Symbols
- Multiplier symbols (colored gems with wings) can land randomly on any spin or tumble.
- Each multiplier has a random value between 2x and 500x.
- At the end of a tumble sequence, all multipliers on screen are added together and applied to your total win.
Free Spins Bonus
The Free Spins feature is where Gates of Olympus can pay big:
- Trigger: Land 4+ Scatters → awards 15 Free Spins.
- Global Multiplier:
- During Free Spins, whenever a multiplier symbol lands and a win occurs, its value is added to a global multiplier.
- This global multiplier applies to all future wins for the rest of the bonus round.
- Retriggers: Landing 3 or more Scatters during Free Spins awards +5 extra spins.
- Special reels are active during the bonus for bigger potential.
Ante Bet Feature
- You can activate the Ante Bet, which increases your total bet by 25%.
- This raises the chance of landing Scatters, making it easier to trigger Free Spins.
Gates of Olympus is a high-volatility slot for players who enjoy excitement, chain reactions, and the chance at massive multipliers. The difference between base game and Free Spins is the global multiplier mechanic, which grows every time a multiplier symbol connects with a win. Combined with retriggers and tumble chains, this can lead to explosive gameplay.
