Gates of Olympus 1000 is Pragmatic Play's upgraded version of Gates of Olympus. The 6x5 pay anywhere grid, tumbles and Zeus multipliers stay the same, but multiplier orbs now reach 1,000x and the max win rises from 5,000x to 15,000x. It suits you if you already know the original and want the same game with more upside, and you accept that the swings are bigger too.
How does Gates of Olympus 1000 work?
You play on 6 reels and 5 rows without paylines. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid form a win. There are no wilds.
Winning symbols are removed and new symbols drop in, repeating until no new win appears. Base stakes go from 0.20 to 100 per spin, and up to 125 with the ante bet on.
What are the Gates of Olympus 1000 bonus features?
Multiplier orbs from 2x up to 1,000x can land on any reel. When the tumble sequence ends, the multipliers on screen are added together and applied to that sequence's win.
Four, five or six scatters pay 3x, 5x or 100x your bet and award 15 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 spins. In free spins, multipliers that land with a win are added to a total that applies to the rest of the round. The ante bet costs 25% extra and makes scatters more likely, and the bonus buy costs 100x your bet where allowed.
Most of the time the multipliers that land will be in the lower range, similar to the original game. The higher values are rare, which is why the average bonus feels close to Gates of Olympus while the best results can be much larger. A free spins round with several mid range multipliers early on usually does better than one big multiplier late in the round.
Is Gates of Olympus 1000 worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
The top RTP is 96.50%, with about 96.49% when you use the bonus buy. Versions near 95.51% and 94.50% are also offered to casinos.
Volatility is high and the max win is 15,000x your stake. The 1,000x orbs make big results possible, but they are rare, so many sessions will look similar to the original game.
Tips before you play Gates of Olympus 1000
- Check the RTP version at your casino before playing.
- If you liked the original, the rules are identical; the difference is the multiplier range.
- Set a firm loss limit, as the higher ceiling comes with longer dry runs.
- Note that the scatter prize for 6 scatters is 100x your bet, paid before the free spins begin.
- Compare the bonus buy RTP with normal play: it is about the same here, so the main difference is risk, not return.
