How to play Gates of Olympus, step by step
Gates of Olympus takes a few steps: set your bet, spin, let winning symbols tumble and refill, and watch for multiplier orbs and scatters. There are no lines to learn, because the game counts symbols across the whole grid.
- Log in to Playme8, open the slots lobby and choose Gates of Olympus in the Pragmatic Play channel (Gates of Olympus 1000 in the lobby is a different game).
- Set your total bet with the plus and minus buttons; the cost per spin is shown under the reels.
- Spin. There are no paylines: you win when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere on the 6x5 grid.
- Winning symbols disappear and new ones tumble down, so one spin can produce several wins in a row.
- Watch for multiplier orbs. Pragmatic Play says they can carry values up to 500x and boost the win of that tumbling sequence.
- Land 4 or more scatter symbols to start the feature round of 15 feature spins.
- In the feature round, each multiplier that lands on a winning spin is added to a running total multiplier that applies to later wins.
Quick tip: Pay-anywhere games with big multipliers can go many spins between large wins, so pick a stake that lets your budget last 100 spins or more.
How the Gates of Olympus features work
Gates of Olympus has three layers that work together: tumbling reels give repeat wins on one spin, multiplier orbs boost that sequence, and in the feature round multipliers are added into a running total instead of disappearing after the spin.
Tumbling reels
Winning symbols leave the grid and new ones fall in. If they form a new win it pays again, until no further wins appear.
Zeus's multiplier orbs
Lightning orbs carry a random multiplier. Pragmatic Play says they can be worth up to 500x and can land in the base game and the feature round.
Running total in the feature
During the feature, an orb that lands on a winning spin is added to a total multiplier that is applied to that win, so the total can keep growing across the 15 spins.
Who is Gates of Olympus for? Pros and cons
Gates of Olympus suits players who can accept runs of small wins in exchange for the chance that a multiplier orb turns one win into a much larger one. If you prefer steady, even results, a low-ceiling slot such as Fortune Gems is a better match.
Pros
- No paylines to learn: any 8 matching symbols win, so it makes sense within a few spins.
- Multiplier orbs can land in the base game, not only in the feature round.
- The provider publishes the 96.50% RTP on its game page, so you can check it.
Cons
- Big results depend on multiplier orbs, which do not land every spin, so long stretches of small wins are normal.
- You need four scatters to reach the feature round.
- Pragmatic Play does not state a volatility rating on the game page; test the rhythm with a low stake first.
Common misconceptions about Gates of Olympus
The most common misunderstanding about Gates of Olympus concerns the feature-round orbs: an orb only joins the running total when it lands on a winning spin, not every orb you see on screen.
“Every orb in the feature round raises the total multiplier”
The facts: Pragmatic Play says a multiplier symbol is added to the total when it lands on a winning spin. If that spin has no win, the orb does nothing for the total.
“A 96.50% RTP means 100 baht in returns 96.50 baht”
The facts: RTP is a long-run average calculated over an enormous number of spins. One session, or one day, can end far above or far below it.
“After a long losing run, Zeus is about to drop a big multiplier”
The facts: Every round of this game is decided by its random number generator, independently of the last. Previous results, the time of day and a run of losses do not make the next round more or less likely to pay.
