Gates of Olympus comes from Pragmatic Play, and its defining mechanic is multiplier orbs that drop apart from the winning cluster and then multiply the whole of it in one go.

Before your first spin, these are the figures to have in mind.

What the maximum win figure actually means

5000x is the published ceiling on Gates of Olympus, the biggest result one round can produce relative to the stake. As a boundary and not a target, it says nothing about how often any outcome occurs. A very high ceiling can sit on a game that pays small amounts nearly every time it pays at all.

Take the ceiling together with the volatility and never alone. Together the two describe the shape of the game, and either alone means close to nothing.

Gates of Olympus set against the rest of its family

Rather than a rebalanced version of this one, Gates of Olympus 1000 is its own separate listing. Against this game’s 5,000x, it carries a published maximum win of 15,000x, lifts the multiplier ceiling from 500x to 1000x, and adds a meter that accumulates multipliers across the whole sequence. Same theme, different mathematics.

How the feature round works in Gates of Olympus

Judging this game only by its base spins misses the point.

On the 6x5 grid, eight or more matching symbols anywhere pay regardless of lines, after which the winners disappear and new symbols fall in to take their place. Arriving on their own schedule and unattached to any cluster, multiplier orbs all add together on screen before being applied to the whole tumble sequence. For that reason, a cascade that looks modest can resolve at several hundred times the stake while the next identical one pays almost nothing.

Pragmatic Play lists 5000x as this title’s maximum win, a cap on one round and not something to plan a session around.

RTP and volatility for Gates of Olympus, put in context

96.50% is the published RTP, an average over millions of spins in the long run and not a rate for a single evening.

For this title, independent records document three configurations that operators can select: 96.50%, 95.51% and 94.50%. Pragmatic publishes only the first.

Pragmatic Play labels it high volatility, a description of the shape of results and not their size.
