Pragmatic Play · 2021
6x5 grid, high volatility and Ancient Greece mythology frame Gates of Olympus, a Pragmatic Play video slot. This page covers it before the first spin.
A 6x5 grid of nine symbols, set in Ancient Greece with a Mythology theme, plays as a scatter pays game. Wins do not follow lines. Eight matching symbols anywhere on the grid is the fewest that pays, and 10 or 12-plus matching symbols pay as well. When a win lands, the winning symbols vanish, the rest fall down and new symbols drop from above. This tumble repeats until no win remains.
Four Scatter symbols anywhere start 15 free spins. Multiplier Orbs on a winning tumble step are summed and multiply that step's win. In free spins, each orb on a winning step adds its value to a TOTAL MULTIPLIER that carries across all spins. Three or more Scatter during free spins add five spins without resetting the counter.

Gates of Olympus bonus
The common worry is whether a retrigger resets the multiplier, and it does not.
Four or more Scatter symbols start 15 free spins with special reels that hold more Scatter symbols. Three or more Scatter retrigger 5 more spins. A TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter carries across all spins, and each orb on a winning tumble step adds its value. Wins are multiplied by that total.

On the 6x5 grid, 8, 10 or 12+ matching symbols anywhere trigger a payout. Winning symbols disappear, the remaining symbols fall, and new symbols drop from above, repeating until no win. Multiplier Orbs landing on a winning step have their values summed, and that sum multiplies the step's total win.

Know your bet first
This settles what happens from your bet to the final payout, in order.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$125 before the first spin. Each win is a multiple of that stake, so the top win scales with the bet you choose.
Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid pay. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall, and new ones drop in for the next step.
Multiplier Orbs landing on a winning tumble step add their values together. That sum multiplies only that step's total win, not the whole cascade.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid trigger 15 Free Spins. The TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter then builds with each orb landing on a winning step.

Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere start the 15 free spins, but how often that happens is not known in advance. Each spin is random, so one session can bring a bonus early, late or not at all. The RTP of 96.50 is a long-run average and does not show what any single session pays.
The 96.50 RTP is the one listed for this slot, but which RTP version a given game runs is shown only in the game rules. Other titles in the same series carry different RTP figures, so the series name alone does not settle it.
The x5,000 maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. At the A$1 example bet it equals A$5,000, and at the A$125 maximum bet it equals A$625,000. Those sums are the top of the scale, not a target you can plan around. No round signals in advance whether it will come.
Gates of Olympus demo
Most players worry about losing money before they understand the rounds; the demo removes that worry.
Bets start at A$0.20. The demo needs no money and pays nothing, while the real game needs an account at Crownplay Casino and the legal age of 18+.
Play for moneyFour questions below
Crownplay lays out the numbers plainly, so you can judge the game before you bet.
Gates of Olympus is the base version of the series, with the lowest maximum win of its family at 5,000 times the bet. The 1000 and Xmas 1000 versions raise that cap to 15,000 times, while Super Scatter reaches 50,000 times and POP offers the higher RTP.
At 96.50 percent, the RTP of Gates of Olympus matches every version in its series except POP, which lists 97.05 percent. RTP is a long-run average across all bets, so a single session can end far above or below it.
Volatility is high. Wins come in uneven bursts with long quiet stretches between them, and a single large payout can change a whole session. The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet.
You can buy the free spins for 100 times the bet, which is A$100 at the A$1 example bet. The Ante Bet is a separate option that raises the stake to 1.25 times the bet, or A$1.25 at A$1. Both prices scale with the bet you choose.
