Gates of Olympus

What kind of game is Gates of Olympus?

A 6x5 grid of Greek myth symbols sets the stage for Gates of Olympus. The main mechanic is scatter pays, so symbols do not need to sit on a payline. Eight matching symbols anywhere on the grid is the fewest that pay. When a win lands, the winning symbols disappear, the remaining ones fall down, and new symbols drop in from above. This tumble repeats until no further win forms.

Four Scatter symbols anywhere trigger 15 free spins, and the free spin round uses special reels with more Scatter symbols. Multiplier Orbs add random values to a total multiplier that carries across every free spin and multiplies each win, including each tumble step. Three or more Scatter symbols during free spins add 5 more spins, and the total multiplier stays in place.

Gates of Olympus, step by step

Read this before your first spin, when you want to know what each step of a round does.

  1. A$0.20 floor, A$125 ceiling

    A$0.20 is the lowest bet and A$125 the highest, so you set your stake before each spin. Every win is a multiple of that stake.

  2. Tumble chain after each win

    The 6x5 grid pays when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere on it. Winners vanish and new symbols drop in, repeating until no win is left.

  3. Orbs raise a winning step

    8, 10 or 12+ matching Scatter symbols anywhere trigger a payout. Orbs landing on a winning tumble step are summed, and that sum multiplies the step's win.

  4. Gates of Olympus opens at 15 spins

    15 free spins begin with 4 or more Scatter symbols anywhere. The TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter carries over every spin, and 3 or more Scatter symbols add 5 more spins.

  5. Set a spending limit first

    A$0.20 to A$125 a spin: how long a session runs cannot be known in advance. Set your spending limit before the first spin.

Gates of Olympus bonus

Understand how the bonus begins

Many readers wonder how the free spins start and what the multiplier does next.

Plain spins, then a multiplier

4+ Scatter symbols anywhere trigger 15 spins. The TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter persists through them, and each orb on a winning tumble step adds its random value to it. Every win is multiplied by the current total. 3+ Scatter retrigger +5 FS without resetting the counter.

Base Game spinMultiplied spins

Wins that fall and multiply

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

Placing your betTumbling wins

Planned wins against the real session

The 96.50% RTP is a long-run average over many spins, not a promise for your session. How often the Free Spins round arrives is not known in advance, and the result of any one session is random, whatever the RTP says. Two players with the same bet can finish very differently after the same number of spins.

The 6x5 grid of Gates of Olympus is the same whichever RTP version is live on the lobby. Which version this casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so open them before the first spin. Reading them tells you exactly which rules apply to your session.

The 5,000x maximum win of Gates of Olympus is a ceiling, not a typical result. It is reached very rarely, and no bet size or session plan changes that. Treat the figure as the top of the paytable, and plan each session around the bet you can afford to lose.
