Gates of Olympus

Gates of Olympus Overview

Gates of Olympus is a fresh release from the expert slot game makers, Pragmatic Play. It launched on 25th February 2021 and adds another slot game based on the deities of ancient Greece. While it might not have an original theme, there are enough bonus features and a big enough max payout for that not to matter. This is just one of many top-rated online slots from Pragmatic Play, so be sure to check out other titles like 5 Lions Dance, Gems Bonanza, Great Rhino Deluxe and Cowboys Gold when you’ve finished with Gates of Olympus.

This game is played on a 6×5 set of reels, and instead of a set amount of pay lines, the game operates under an all-ways-pay system. You can start betting from as little as $0.20 per spin, up to a maximum of $100 per spin for those looking to maximise the potential returns from the game. Pragmatic Play has spiced the gameplay with features such as free spins, cascading wins, multipliers, and wild symbols. You will also have the chance to trigger the max payout of 5000x your stake on any spin.

Graphics and Theme

Greeks, Gods and gemstones. While you may have seen it all before, Pragmatic Play has done a good job of making the graphics look crisp, sharp and colourful. An angry-looking Zeus appears to be levitating to the right of your reels, casting a watchful eye on the action unfolding during the game. The reels are located in the forecourt of a grand temple with a fire burning on top of each white pillar. The reels are encased with a shiny golden border, and the backdrop to the reels is a royal purple.

The soundtrack and sound effects in this game are intense. An orchestra has created the backing track with percussion, string and wind instruments to make a dramatic tune fit for a big movie fight scene. Overlaying the soundtrack is the countless number of sound effects triggered by winning combinations and bonus features being activated. The noisier it gets, the more money you are winning.

Gates of Olympus symbols

There are five low-paying gemstone symbols plus four high-paying symbols: a goblet, a ring, a sand timer, and a crown. The crown is the most valuable symbol and will pay out a maximum of 50x your stake for 12 of a kind.

Pragmatic Play has chosen not to include a wild symbol. However, Zeus acts as the scatter symbol.

Cascading reels

When you land a winning combination, the symbols involved will fall and make room for new ones to replace them. This feature will continue until you don’t make any additional winning combinations, and there is no limit to how long it can go on for. The cascading reels wins use a new payout calculation less than the payouts for a regular spin.

Multiplier feature

The floating Zeus character to the reels’ right can randomly spark into action and activate the multiplier feature. He will release a flying orb onto your reels which will come with a multiplier between 2x and 500x attached to it. If you’re lucky enough to find that Zeus releases more than one orb on your reels, the values will be added together and then applied to your winnings at the end of your spin. This feature is active in both the base game and free spins game.

Free spins

If you land three, four or five Zeus symbols simultaneously, you will unlock a prize of 3x, 5x or 100x your stake. You will also trigger 15 free spins to start once your winnings from the Zeus symbols have been collected. All multipliers that land on your reels during the free spins will be progressively added together, and they don’t reset until the free spins are over. Finally, you can retrigger five free spins by landing three or more scatters.

Gates of Olympus How to Play

The game uses an all-ways-pay system instead of lining symbols up on pay lines; all you need to trigger a payout is land symbols on three or more consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reels. Your wins will be multiplied by your stake, which can be between $0.20 and $100 per spin in this game. You’ll be playing on a 6×5 set of reels with an RTP of 96.5%. The base game is great, but bigger wins can happen when the multiplier and free spins features are active. The maximum payout of 5000x your stake is achieved by accumulating a large multiplier in the free spins round.
