The Gates of Olympus Series: Every Slot Compared

Gates of Olympus came out in February 2021 and became Pragmatic Play’s best-known slot: a 6×5 grid with no paylines, tumbling reels and Zeus’s multiplier orbs. Since then the original has picked up five follow-ups, and each one changes a single part of the formula — the multiplier cap, the route to a big win or the format of the game itself. Here is the whole series in one place: what’s new in each game, the numbers side by side, and where to start.

What every game shares

No paylines: 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid make a win. POP uses a smaller 3×5 grid.
Tumbling reels: winning symbols disappear, new ones drop in, and a single bet can chain several wins.
Zeus’s multiplier orbs land at random and multiply the tumble win; in free spins they build into a running total.
Free spins: 15 spins for 4 or more scatters (3 in POP), and a retrigger adds 5 more.

Every game in release order

Released: 25 February 2021

Gates of Olympus

RTP 96.5% Grid 6×5 Max multiplier 500x Max win 5,000x

The original, and the slot that made pay-anywhere Pragmatic’s signature. Zeus’s orbs carry 2x to 500x, and in free spins they add up into a running multiplier that grows until the bonus ends. The cap is 5,000x the bet — the lowest in the series, but this is the formula at its purest.

Gates of Olympus 1000

RTP 96.5% Grid 6×5 Max multiplier 1,000x Max win 15,000x

The same game with a higher ceiling: a single orb now goes up to 1,000x, and the cap triples to 15,000x. The grid, symbols and bonus rules are untouched; what changed is how rare events are spread. Dry spells are no shorter, but the bonus can land harder.

Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000

RTP 96.5% Grid 6×5 Max multiplier 1,000x Max win 15,000x

The Christmas edition of Gates of Olympus 1000: Zeus in a red coat and snow on Olympus, with the same maths underneath — multipliers up to 1,000x and a 15,000x cap. If you know the 1000, the difference is purely the look.

Gates of Olympus Super Scatter

RTP 96.5% Grid 6×5 Max multiplier 500x Max win 50,000x

Super Scatters are the point here. When the bonus triggers they pay instantly on a ladder: 1 symbol — 100x, 2 — 500x, 3 — 5,000x, 4 — 50,000x, the game’s entire cap. The orbs work as in the original, up to 500x. It has the highest max win in the series, but four Super Scatters are an extremely rare event.

Gates of Olympus POP

RTP 97.05% Grid 3×5 Max multiplier 1,000x Max win 25,000x

The first game of Pragmatic Play’s casual POP sub-brand: a portrait 3×5 grid built for phones, tumbles and multipliers up to 1,000x. The bonus gives 15 free spins for just 3 scatters, and POP symbols on the trigger add an instant prize of 50x, 500x or 25,000x. The stated RTP is 97.05%, the highest in the series.

Gates of Olympus 2500

RTP 96.52% Grid 6×5 Max multiplier 2,500x Max win 25,000x

The newest entry. A multiplier symbol can carry up to 2,500x, and the cap is 25,000x the bet. Before free spins a wheel picks one of four modes: in some the multipliers build for the whole bonus, and the Super versions start every multiplier at 10x. Three Ante Bet levels and four bonus buy options.
