Gates of Olympus

It’s time for a highly volatile journey back to Ancient Greece.

Gates of Olympus is the latest release from industry-leading software provider Pragmatic Play, and this highly volatile slot carries many of the same mechanics and features as other popular titles from the software provider like Sweet Bonanza.

As the name suggests, Gates of Olympus is themed in the Ancient Greek world - and it’s all based around the God Olympus, and his powerful presence. The game’s full of action, and animations include lightning bolts striking the reels and more.

The game is built around a 6-reel, 5-row format.

When it comes to symbols, Gates of Olympus’ lower-paying symbols are different shapes - colored green, red, purple, blue and yellow - while the higher-paying symbols are all theme-specific, and include Cups, Rings, Egg Timers and Crowns.

Thanks to Pragmatic Play’s publicly-available volatility scale, we know that Gates of Olympus ranks 5/5 when it comes to variance. This means the slot is highly volatile - and it means that wins are less frequent than games that are lower in variance.

When it comes to RTP, Gates of Olympus has a fairly healthy default RTP of 96.50%. However, Pragmatic offer their slots in flexible RTP settings, so some online casinos may choose to offer the game with a lower return to player percentage.

While not all of Pragmatic Play’s slots contain a huge number of bonuses and features, Gates of Olympus is one of their releases that - and below, we’re going to be covering the three bonuses and features you’ll find inside the slot.

Multiplier Symbols

On any spin, symbols can drop down into view with multipliers attached to them. These multipliers range between 2X and 500X, and when the symbols with multipliers on them are involved with a win, the multiplier is applied to that win at the end of the winning cascade. If there are multiple multipliers in view on a single spin, they are added together at the end of the spin before being applied against the win total.

Free Spins

No modern-day video slot would be complete without a free-spins bonus round, and Gates of Olympus’ is triggered by landing three, four, five or six of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. You will then receive 15 free spins, along with a payout worth 3X, 5X or 100X your stake depending on the amount of scatter symbols present.

The main difference in the free-spins bonus round - compared to the base-game - is that the multipliers attached to symbols are applied globally. That means that you don’t have to worry about which symbols drop down with multipliers in view; any multipliers that are present are applied to all winning combo. What’s more, this multiplier then locks in place - it doesn’t reset between spins.
