Pragmatic Play · 2021
Gates of Olympus is a high volatility video slot by Pragmatic Play, set in Ancient Greece. Here are its figures, rules and features before your first spin.
On the 6x5 reels, a win forms when at least eight matching symbols land anywhere on the grid, so no paylines need to line up. The symbols are the Crown, Hourglass, Ring, Chalice and five coloured gems, all set in ancient Greece with a mythology theme. Matches of 8, 10 and 12 or more pay at their own tiers.
On the reels, winning symbols tumble away and new ones fall in, so one spin can pay several times. Multiplier Orbs on a winning step add up and multiply that step's win. Four or more Scatter start 15 free spins, during which a total multiplier builds and keeps climbing. Three or more Scatter during the spins add 5 more spins without resetting that multiplier.

The worry of not knowing what a bonus screen looks like before playing.
Round steps
This settles how a round moves from your bet to the point you stop.
Pick a stake from A$0.20 up to A$125 before the first spin. Every payout scales with that stake, so an A$2 bet can reach A$10,000.
Symbols that match eight or more times anywhere on the 6x5 grid pay out. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall down, and new symbols drop in until no win is left.
Multiplier Orbs that land on a winning tumble step are added together. That sum multiplies the step's total win, so one tumble can grow beyond its first payout.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger 15 Free Spins. The total multiplier counter carries across every spin, and each win, tumble steps included, is multiplied by it.
Any spin can end with no win, so set your limit before the first spin. Stop at that amount, whether the reels have paid or not.
Bonus rules made simple
Most players worry about how free spins begin, and this section explains it step by step.
4+ Scatter symbols anywhere trigger 15 free spins. Each Multiplier Orb on a winning tumble step adds its random value to the TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter, which carries across all spins. Every win is multiplied by that counter. 3+ Scatters retrigger 5 more free spins without resetting it.
Base game spins15 free spins
Winning symbols vanish from the 6x5 grid, the rest fall, and new symbols drop from above until no win is left. 8, 10 or 12+ matching symbols anywhere pay. Multiplier Orbs on a winning tumble step have their values summed, and that sum multiplies the step's total win.
Placing a betWins on each tumble
The bonus buy costs 100 times the bet, so at the top example bet of A$2 it comes to A$200.

Return to player is the share of each A$100 staked that the game pays back over a very long run. The version running on this page is shown in the game rules.

The reels on this 6x5 grid start each session with a fresh spin, and nobody can say in advance when the Free Spins feature will land. Scatter symbols arrive by chance, so one session may bring several bonus rounds or none at all. The 96.50% RTP describes a long-run average over many spins, not what happens to your balance in one visit. Each result stands alone.
Each spin on the reels follows one RTP version, and the game rules are the only place that names which version this lobby runs. Some titles in the series list a different RTP, so the game rules are the place to check which one applies here.
Tumble steps and Multiplier Orbs can lift a win, yet the ceiling of 5,000 times the bet is reached very rarely. At the A$2 example bet that ceiling reads A$10,000, and a session with a large win stays just as uncertain as one with none.
Players must be 18+. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or join the BetStop self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you open the game, and stop when that amount is gone.
Set your stopping point before the first spin, and keep it even after a big win.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account so the session ends before your budget does.
If the game stops being fun, take a break, or self-exclude through BetStop before you return.
Four questions, clear facts
A common worry is missing how the free spins start, and what a win can reach.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger 15 free spins. During the free spins, the grid uses special reels with more Scatter symbols. Three or more Scatter symbols during the free spins add 5 more spins, and the TOTAL MULTIPLIER is not reset.
Gates of Olympus opens at a minimum bet of A$0.20, so the first spins cost little. The paytable on this page uses the same A$0.20 stake, so the figures match where you start.
This version of the slot has an RTP of 96.50%, a long-run average over very many spins. It says nothing about a single session. The Gates of Olympus POP version lists 97.05%.
The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet, which is A$625,000 at the highest bet of A$125. No player can predict whether a session reaches it, so treat the figure as a ceiling, not a target.
