Pragmatic Play publishes this as the game's default RTP. Studios ship several RTP builds of most titles and whoever serves the game picks the version, so
we cannot promise this demo or any casino lobby runs this build. Read the RTP in the game's info panel
wherever you play for real.
Pragmatic Play's own page publishes only the 96.50% default; reduced builds of 95.51% and 94.50% are reported elsewhere, and the casino chooses which one it runs.
Gates of Olympus 1000 keeps the scatter-pays tumble engine of the original and doubles the ceiling: Zeus now throws multiplier orbs worth up to 1,000x, lifting the reported top win to 15,000x. More multiplier means more variance, which is exactly why the demo is the place to meet it.
How the game works
Every spin fills a 6x5 grid. Any symbol appearing 8 or more times anywhere pays; positions and lines don’t matter. Winning symbols are removed and the gaps refill, and this tumble repeats as long as new wins keep forming, so one spin can chain several payouts.
Zeus periodically adds multiplier orbs valued from 2x up to 1,000x (double the original’s 500x). When a tumble sequence ends, all orb values on screen are summed and applied to that sequence’s total win.
Free spins are the whole game
Four or more scatters award 15 free spins, and one rule changes everything: multiplier orb values from winning spins are added to a running total that never resets for the rest of the bonus. Early orbs compound every later win, and with 1,000x orbs now in the pool, that is how the game reaches its reported 15,000x cap.
The flip side is the same as the original: bonuses that never build a multiplier pay almost nothing. The ante-bet option (25% more per spin for double bonus frequency) and the buy-bonus feature (where available) both add volatility, not return. Try them here with play money and watch what they do to a balance over a hundred spins.
RTP honesty check
The 96.50% on Pragmatic Play’s own game page is the default build, and it is the only figure the studio publishes. Reviewers report the same three-step ladder as the original Gates: reduced certified versions of 95.51% and 94.50%, with the casino choosing which one it runs. On a game this swingy the difference compounds fast. Check the info panel at your casino before betting; our RTP guide shows what to look for.
The bottom line
Gates of Olympus 1000 is the original turned up: the same pretty tumble engine, the same long dry spells, and rarer but bigger orb-stacked free spins thanks to the 1,000x cap. If you like the original Gates of Olympus, this is the higher-variance version - learn it in the demo, confirm the RTP where you play, and size real bets for very high volatility or not at all.
When you are ready for real bets, pick the casino by its payout record, not its bonus size - our honest casino reviews rank sites on exactly that.
