Gates of Olympus in brief
Gates of Olympus is the game that turned Pragmatic's pay-anywhere tumble engine into a franchise. There are no paylines: eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid pay, and the grid keeps tumbling until no new wins form.
Gates of Olympus 1000 in brief
The 1000 version keeps everything familiar about the original – the same grid, symbols and pay-anywhere tumble – but stretches the multiplier range and triples the max win to 15,000x. In practice this makes an already swingy slot swingier: the average bonus doesn't feel much bigger, but the ceiling is far higher.
Features compared
Gates of Olympus
- Tumble: Winning symbols are removed and new ones fall in, allowing several wins from one paid spin.
- Multiplier orbs: Zeus drops orbs worth 2x–500x. In the base game they apply to the tumble sequence they land in.
- Free spins: 4+ scatters award 15 free spins. Every multiplier that lands is added to a running total that applies to all wins for the rest of the round.
- Ante bet / bonus buy: Ante bet raises the stake by 25% to double the scatter chance; the bonus buy costs 100x where permitted.
Gates of Olympus 1000
- Multipliers up to 1,000x: The orb range is extended so a single orb can be worth up to 1,000x.
- Free spins: 15 free spins with a persistent multiplier total; 3 extra scatters retrigger 5 more spins.
- Higher cap: Max win raised to 15,000x the stake.
