Gates of Olympus Slots
Gates of Olympus is a video online slot game with an enjoyable mythology theme which takes players to Ancient Greece and was released and crafted by renowned developers Pragmatic Play in February 2021.
There is much to look forward to with tumbling reels, free spins, huge multiplier boosts up to 500x and other gaming features which combine together to offer a maximum payout of 5,000x bet.
The golden and ornate gaming grid presents 6 reels with 5 rows and 20 paylines and uses a pay-anywhere mechanism which is unique. This enables gamers to win by matching at least eight identical symbols anywhere on the reels. The tumbling reels feature also kicks in where the matching symbols disappear to make room for others to fall in and cover the grid to potentially create more winning combinations and this goes on until no more wins are formed.
If blue eyed Zeus is in a good mood he will throw a flashy winged orb on any random spin to provide a multiplier boost of between 2x and 500x. The multipliers stack as long as players continue landing wins and new orbs.
The setting is impressive with the backdrop to a temple showing formidable pearly white columns standing strong on Mount Olympus and a majestic Zeus floating and hovering above the reels and ready to strike at any moment. The visuals are striking and carry comic style graphics. An upbeat soundtrack showcases rumbles of thunder and with the roaring laugh of Zeus this makes for a very impressive and authentic experience.
Gameplay begins when bets are placed and these can be placed starting from a minimum of just $0.20 per spin and up to $125.00 to the maximum per spin. This diverse range provides options for a variety of player from novices to veterans.
An optional and convenient Autoplay button is at hand to enable a pre automated number of spins to game with and this can be handy for those who are seeking to manage a set budget or aids those who prefer to game hands free.
The Gates of Olympus RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is 96.5% and this slot is highly volatile. This means that payouts can be significant although they will be not so frequent. High rollers will be content to enjoy the high risk element offering some great prizes although more beginner punters will find it a challenge and will need to practise both care and prudence to withstand the slower and dry periods between wins.
The paytable highlights all the symbols and their payouts. The crown, golden hourglass, a gold chalice/goblet and jewelled ring act as the higher paying symbols. Landing 12 or more of these pay out between 12x and 50x the bet. Different coloured gemstones in hues of blue, green, red and yellow carry the lowest payouts between 2x and 10x the bet when matching 12.
There is no wild symbol in this slot game. Zeus is the scatter symbol and pays 3x, 5x and 100x players bet for 4, 5 or 6 of him respectively. These scatters also award 15 free spins during the bonus round and multiplier values can land with random values of between 2x and up to 500x that added to players tally. These multipliers are shown as multi coloured and winged orbs in green, blue, purple and red.
The great thing about the free spins is that the multipliers stack until the feature ends. After spinning the reels and the tumble feature ends all the multiplier symbols are combined and multiplied by the total win. Players can retrigger 5 more free spins at a time whenever three scatters land which provides expansive winning potential.
An Ante Bet feature can be activated at Gates of Olympus which allows punters to set the bet multiplier higher and doubles the chances of getting to the free spins feature by adding more scatters onto the reels during gameplay. This comes at a cost of 25% more of the stake.
The Bonus Buy feature lets players buy into the free spins round instantly as a direct short cut and it costs 100x the bet.
