Gates of Olympus 1000 arrived in December 2023 as the louder version of the original. The grid is the same 6x5 and 8 or more matching symbols pay from any position. Winners clear, the grid refills, and the spin runs until nothing new connects. The symbols are the familiar crowns, hourglasses, rings, goblets and gems, and the RTP at the standard setting is the same 96.5%.

What changed is the top of the orb range. Zeus still drops multiplier orbs at random, but they now run from 2x up to 1,000x instead of stopping at 500x. All orbs on screen when a tumble sequence ends are added together and applied to that spin's win. A 1,000x orb on a R10 win pays R10,000, and a 1,000x orb on a dead board pays nothing, which is the whole game in one sentence.

Four scatters give 15 free spins. In the round, every orb that lands on a winning spin is added to a running total multiplier that applies to every win until the round ends, and three more scatters add 5 spins. The 15,000x cap lives here. The price for the bigger orbs is a thinner base game: expect longer dry stretches and more rounds that pay under 10x than the original gives you. Review sites rate the volatility at the top of the scale.

Scorebet carries the Pragmatic Play catalogue, and the bonus buy is offered where the game settings allow. It costs 100x the stake and starts a spin with at least four scatters guaranteed, so R200 at R2 a spin buys one entry into the round. It does not change the 96.5% RTP; it only changes how quickly you reach the feature and how quickly a budget moves.

What the features do

  • Multiplier orbs up to 1,000x, double the top value of the original, dropped at random on any spin or tumble and summed at the end of the sequence
  • Pays anywhere: 8 or more of the same crown, goblet, ring or gem on the 6x5 grid pay from any position
  • Tumble: winning symbols are removed and the gaps fill from above, and new orbs can land on every tumble
  • Free spins: every orb that lands on a winning spin joins a total multiplier that applies to every win for the rest of the round, with 3 more scatters adding 5 spins
  • Bonus buy: 100x the stake for a spin with at least 4 scatters guaranteed, where it is offered

Before you spin

  1. Stake this lower than the original. The same R2 a spin produces longer cold runs here because the maths is weighted toward rarer, bigger orbs.
  2. A bought round at R200 can end with a total multiplier of 2x and a 5x return. Budget for several buys or none, not one.
  3. An orb only counts if that spin or tumble has a win. Wait for the sequence to finish before reading the total on screen.
  4. In the free spins the total multiplier never resets, so a quiet first ten spins that still collected orbs can pay on spin fifteen. Do not close the game early.
