Pragmatic Play · 2021
Gates of Olympus is a high volatility video slot from Pragmatic Play, set in Ancient Greece. Wins come from tumbling symbols and multiplier orbs.
On the 6x5 grid, a win forms when eight or more matching symbols land anywhere, not on fixed lines. The game is set in ancient Greece and mythology, and its symbols are crowns, hourglasses, rings, chalices and five kinds of gem. When a win is paid, the winning symbols vanish, the rest fall into the gaps and new symbols drop from above. This tumble repeats until a step brings no win.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels start 15 free spins. Multiplier Orbs add the twist. On a winning tumble step, orbs add up and multiply that step's win. In the free spins, each orb on a winning step adds its random value to a total multiplier that carries across every spin. Three or more Scatters add 5 spins and keep that total.

A common worry: losing track of the multiplier once the free spins begin.
The bonus buy costs 100 times the bet, which is A$200 at the A$2 top example bet.

Five steps per round
Read this before your first spin or when a win looks unclear.
Set the bet before the first spin, from A$0.20 up to A$125. The scatter and tumble rules stay the same at every stake.
Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid win. Winning symbols disappear, the rest fall down, and new symbols drop in until no win is left.
Multiplier Orbs on a winning tumble step add up, and that sum multiplies the step's total win. Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid lead into the free spins.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere start 15 free spins on special reels. The TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter keeps its value across all spins, and three or more Scatter add five spins.
Set a loss limit before the first spin. Each retrigger adds five free spins, so a bonus round can run longer than its first 15.
Two modes, one counter
This block settles how the spins start, how the counter builds, and how a normal spin tumbles.
Land 4+ Scatter anywhere to start 15 spins. The TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter carries across spins; each orb on a winning tumble step adds its random value to it. Every win, tumble steps included, is multiplied by the current counter. 3+ Scatter adds 5 spins and the counter is kept.
4+ Scatter landed15 free spins
Matching symbols pay when 8, 10 or 12+ of them land anywhere on the 6x5 grid. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall, and new ones drop in until no win remains. Multiplier Orbs on a winning step have their values summed, and that sum multiplies the step's win.
Regular spinTumbling wins
Each spin drops a fresh set of symbols onto the 6x5 grid, and four or more Scatter symbols anywhere trigger the 15 free spins. How often that happens cannot be known before you play. One session may bring several bonus rounds or none at all, and its result stays random whatever the RTP figure says.
The reels run on one RTP version at a time, and the game rules are the only place that names the version this site runs. Read that line before you start. The RTP figure in the table below shows what each version pays over the long run.
Tumbles can stack several wins into one spin, and the top prize is set as a multiple of the bet, not as a fixed sum. That ceiling is reached very rarely. Treat it as the outer edge of the paytable, not as something a session is built to reach.
Access Rules
Highroller Casino lets you see how the reels behave before any money goes in.
The reels spin on the demo without any money, and nothing pays out; the real game needs an account at Highroller Casino and the legal age of 18+.
Play for cashYou must be 18+ to play. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget before the session starts and treat it as the full amount you may lose. Once it is gone, stop for the day.
Set your stop point before the first spin. A win should not move it, because high volatility means losing runs can follow.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you play. Check them again whenever you change your bet size.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop, the national register. Chasing losses is the clearest sign to stop.
Clearer choices
You will know the bet sizes, free spin triggers and RTP before you put money on the reels.
Each spin at the minimum bet of A$0.20 shows how symbols tumble, fall and refill on the 6x5 grid. The paytable lists the symbol payouts for that same bet, so you can read them before a larger stake.
Gates of Olympus 1000 and Xmas 1000 keep 96.50 per cent RTP but raise the maximum win to 15,000 times the bet. The POP version has the best RTP at 97.05 per cent, and Super Scatter has the biggest maximum win at 50,000 times the bet.
4 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 15 free spins. During the free spins, 3 or more Scatter symbols add five spins, and the total multiplier is kept. Orbs on winning tumble steps add their value to that multiplier.
Over a long run, the reels return 96.50 per cent of the amount staked, which is A$96.50 for every A$100 bet on average. Other versions of the series range from 96.50 to 97.05 per cent. A result over one session can sit far from that average.
Top prize on the reels is 5,000 times the bet. At the example bet of A$2 that is A$10,000, and at the highest bet of A$125 it is A$625,000. Nobody can know in advance whether a session will reach it.
