Pragmatic Play · 2023
Gates of Olympus 1000 is a high volatility 6x5 video slot from Pragmatic Play, set in Ancient Greece. The page covers its figures, rounds and bonus modes.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and players aged 18+.
A 6x5 grid in an Ancient Greece and Mythology setting, where a win needs at least 8 matching symbols anywhere on the screen. Positions do not matter, because the game pays from anywhere on the grid rather than along fixed paylines. Each winning group disappears, and new symbols fall from above. This is the tumble, and it repeats on the same spin with no set limit. Orbs marked MULTIPLIER land at random during play.
Four or more Zeus Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 15 free spins, and three or more during free spins add 5 more. The TOTAL MULTIPLIER never resets: each MULTIPLIER orb that lands on a winning spin adds its value, until the 15000x cap applies. Double Chance costs 1.25x the standard bet and adds extra Zeus Scatter symbols on special reels.

Three rounds explained
At 500 Casino, each feature comes with its exact trigger, count and cap.
15 free spins start when four or more Zeus Scatter symbols land. A total multiplier builds across the whole round and never resets. Each multiplier orb on a winning spin adds its value permanently. Three or more scatters retrigger 5 spins. Special reels are active under a 15,000x cap.
Four scatters landedBuilt-up multiplier
6x5 grid with pay-anywhere wins, at a 20x bet multiplier. Tumble removes winning symbols and fills from above. There is no tumble limit per spin. Multiplier orbs land randomly with values from 2x to 1000x. Their values are summed and applied to the full tumble sequence total.
Choosing a betPay-anywhere wins
25x bet multiplier, which is 1.25x the standard bet. Double Chance adds extra Scatter symbols to special reels. Those extra scatters double how often natural Free Spins trigger.

Five steps per spin
Most players worry about missing a rule, so each step says what happens next.
A$0.20 is the lowest bet and A$125 the highest, and you set the stake before each spin. Every win and the maximum win scale with that bet.
Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid form a win. Tumble then removes the winning symbols and new ones fall from above.
2x to 1000x Multiplier orbs land at random on the grid. Their values are summed and applied to the whole tumble sequence, so one orb can lift a long chain.
4 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 15 Free Spins. Three or more Scatter symbols during the round add 5 spins, and the multiplier total never resets.
A$125 is the highest bet allowed, so set your budget before the first spin. Nobody can know in advance how a session will end, so stop when your budget runs out.

Demo first
You will know how to test the game first and when to switch to real money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing at all. The real game needs an account with 500 Casino and players aged 18+.
Play real moneyA 6x5 grid with high volatility leaves the bonus timing open. No one can know in advance how often four or more Zeus Scatter symbols will land in a session. The RTP of 96.49% or 96.50% describes the long run, not the result of your next spin. Every session is random, whatever the RTP.
Gates of Olympus 1000 runs at 96.49% or 96.50%. Only the game rules show which version is in use on this site, so read them before the first spin. The gap between the two is small, but the version in use still sets the long-run return on every bet you place.
A ceiling of x15,000 caps every round of Gates of Olympus 1000, and few rounds reach it. Nobody can predict when a round will get close. Treat the figure as a limit on payouts, not as a result you can plan around.
