Gates of Olympus 1000 (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

Gates of Olympus 1000 - Slot Overview

I’ve put plenty of hours into Gates of Olympus 1000, and it lands as a straight upgrade of the 2021 hit. The 6x5 grid keeps the scatter pays mechanic, tumble feature and Zeus watching on. It’s highly volatile with a default RTP of 96.50% (96.49% via bonus buy). Bets run from 20p to £100, or £125 with the ante bet that adds extra scatters for a 25% premium. The big change is the 1,000x multiplier and the tripled max potential of 15,000x the bet.

Symbols and Payouts in Gates of Olympus 1000

Nine regulars return. Low pays are blue, green, yellow, purple and red gems. High pays are the chalice, ring, hourglass and crown. With scatter pays, 8 or more matching symbols anywhere award: 0.25x to 1x for gems, then 1.5x chalice, 2x ring, 2.5x hourglass and 10x crown. At 10+, those step to 0.75x, 0.9x, 1x, 1.2x, 1.5x, then 2x, 5x, 10x and 25x. All values are per stake and apply in both base play and the bonus.

At the 12+ tier, the paytable tops out at 2x blue, 4x green, 5x yellow, 8x purple and 10x red. Artefacts pay 12x for chalice, 15x for ring, 25x for hourglass and 50x for crown. Zeus is the scatter, paying 3x, 5x or 100x for 4, 5 or 6 in view, and launching the bonus. There are no wilds in Gates of Olympus 1000, which keeps the field clear for multiplier symbols to do the work.

Bonus Features in Gates of Olympus 1000

Multiplier symbols can land on any reel in both phases. Each carries a random value from 2x up to 1,000x, the headline tweak in this edition. When a spin’s tumble sequence ends, all multipliers in view are added together and applied to the total win from that sequence. I’ve seen clusters of smaller values do more than a single hit, so the add-up behaviour matters. It’s the engine that turns ordinary screens into proper pays.

The tumble feature removes winning symbols, drops the rest, and fills gaps from above. Because Gates of Olympus 1000 uses scatter pays, new symbols can land anywhere and still count, so chains can run on one stake several times. That pairing keeps the base game busy even when the bonus is shy. You get those rolling bursts where little wins stack, then a multiplier shows and the whole lot gets multiplied at the end.

Hit 4, 5 or 6 scatters and you get 15 free spins plus an instant 3x, 5x or 100x payout. In the bonus, every time a multiplier contributes to a win, its value adds to a running total multiplier. For the remainder of the round, any future winning spin with a multiplier also uses that total value. Land at least 3 scatters during free spins to retrigger +5. It’s a simple loop that can snowball quickly.

How to Play Gates of Olympus 1000

Set your stake between 20p and £100 per spin. Toggle the ante bet if you want more scatters in the mix at 25% extra. The paytable explains symbol tiers and scatter pays, and you can use quick spin or auto spin if you prefer a faster rhythm with limits. Wins land when 8+ matching symbols are in view anywhere, then tumbles resolve. If patience wears thin, the bonus buy costs 100x and triggers a spin with at least 4 scatters.

Gates of Olympus 1000 RTP, Volatility & Max Win

Gates of Olympus 1000 runs a high variance model. The default RTP is 96.50%, with alternative settings of 95.51% and 94.50% depending on where you play. Buying free spins nudges the rate to 96.49%. Hit frequency sits at 28.57% in the official sheet, so you’ll get regular base flickers and the odd drought. The ceiling is 15,000x the bet, a jump on the original cap that aligns with the larger multiplier symbol.

Bet levels start at 20p and cap at £100 in standard play, rising to £125 when the ante bet is on. The top prize odds are listed at 1 in 2,749,771 spins, with 1,000x+ at around 1 in 45,036. It’s a long-game slot where session bankroll matters. I’ve had bonuses that did very little and others that sprang to life when multipliers stacked. That spread is the package here. Plan for swings rather than steady drips.

Gates of Olympus 1000 Graphics & Audio

Gates of Olympus 1000 keeps the original look. Zeus floats beside the 6x5 grid in a columned temple with flaming braziers, rich colours and sharp animations. It’s a clean interface, with the pay-anywhere wins and tumbling reels giving the screen constant motion. Controls are clear and the meter work is easy to track.

The soundtrack leans into orchestral swells and thunderclaps, which fits the theme, though it can feel repetitive across long sessions. On mobile it runs smoothly on both iOS and Android, scaling neatly to smaller screens without losing clarity. Controls are responsive, and the bonus counter and multiplier pop-ups are easy to read in portrait or landscape. I’ve played it on a phone and a tablet, and the presentation held up with no hiccups.

Gates of Olympus 1000 - Slot Verdict

I see Gates of Olympus 1000 as the same formula with bigger upside. The reskin adds a 1,000x multiplier and pushes the max to 15,000x, while keeping scatter pays, tumbles and the collector-style free spins. It looks good, plays fast, and can drop hefty multipliers if the stars align. The volatility bites, and the largest values don’t show up often, but if you wanted this exact experience with more on the line, this is it.
