Pragmatic Play · 2021
Gates of Olympus is a high volatility slot from Pragmatic Play, with a 6x5 grid and a 96.50% RTP. The page covers figures, rounds and free spins.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
A 6x5 grid set in Ancient Greece and mythology. A win needs at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid, because this is a scatter pays game where position does not count. Winning symbols vanish, the remaining ones fall, and new symbols drop from above. This tumble repeats until no further win forms, so one spin can pay several times in a row.
4+ Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 15 free spins. In those spins a TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter keeps growing: each Multiplier Orb that lands on a winning tumble step adds its random value, and every win is multiplied by the current total. Three or more Scatter symbols add 5 more spins without resetting that counter, so a long run can build on itself.

Useful when you want to see the game before deciding on a bet.
Placing your first bet
You will have followed one round from the bet to the session limit, step by step.
A$0.20 to A$125 is the bet range, and the stake you set applies to every spin. The top win is 5,000 times that stake.
Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid form a win. Winning symbols then disappear, the rest fall down and new symbols drop in until no win is left.
The 6x5 grid keeps tumbling, one step at a time. Orbs landing on a winning step are summed, and the sum multiplies that step's total win.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere start 15 free spins on special reels. Three or more Scatter in a free spin adds 5 more spins.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet, so a budget set before the first spin sets how many rounds you can play. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 for support.
Bonus rules
Skygate9 Casino lists every rule of a mode before the reels turn.

On the 6x5 grid, 8, 10 or 12+ matching symbols anywhere trigger a payout. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall, and new ones drop from above. Tumbles repeat until no win remains. Multiplier Orbs on a winning step add their values, and the sum multiplies that step's win.

Two paths, one game
Decide whether to start with the Gates of Olympus demo or stake real money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account at Skygate9 Casino and players aged 18+.
Play for real96.50% is the RTP of Gates of Olympus and it describes a return over a very large number of spins, not one visit. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. Each spin is random, so the result of one session can sit far above or below that RTP.
96.50% marks the version listed for Gates of Olympus. Which RTP version is running is shown only in the game rules, not on this page, so read that rule before the first spin and compare it with the figure in the table above.
x5,000 is the maximum win of Gates of Olympus, a ceiling on the multiple of the stake. It is reached very rarely, and no session can be expected to reach it. Read it as the upper limit of what the game can pay.
Players must be 18+. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget before the first spin and treat it as the full cost of play. When it runs out, stop, even if a win seems close.
Choose a stop point before you start, and keep it after a win as well. A large win does not change the plan you set.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you open the game. Each one caps what you can lose.
Take a break as soon as the game stops feeling fun, and use self-exclusion if breaks no longer help. Chasing losses is the sign to stop.
Four questions below
Most players worry about the cost of learning the slot and of the bonus buy.
The smallest bet is A$0.20 a spin, so you can run the base game and its tumbles at a low cost. Read the paytable at A$2, the bet it is built on, before you move to A$5.
Yes, the Buy Free Spins option is in the game and costs 100 times the bet, which is A$500 at the A$5 example bet. The Ante Bet is a separate option that raises each spin to 1.25 times the bet, so A$6.25 at A$5.
Gates of Olympus has an RTP of 96.50 percent, which means A$96.50 returns per A$100 staked over the long run. The POP version runs at 97.05 percent, the highest RTP in the series, so the versions differ in return and in top win.
High volatility means results vary widely from spin to spin. A single round can pay far more than the bet, and the maximum win is x5,000 the bet, but no one can predict when a large win lands.
