Gates of Olympus
Gates of Olympus is the latest slot game from Pragmatic Play, featuring the “win all ways” game mechanic. This slot has an average volatility and a return to player percentage of 96.50%. It also offers several bonuses and features, such as symbol multipliers, free spins, and a bonus purchase option.
As the name suggests, Gates of Olympus takes you to Ancient Greece with its action-packed gameplay, gorgeous graphics, and exciting modern animations. The low-paying symbols are represented by gems of various shapes and colors – green, red, purple, blue, and yellow. The higher-paying symbols are theme-specific and include cups, rings, hourglasses, and crowns.
Gates of Olympus features a 6-reel, 5-row format and can be played with bets ranging from €0.20 to €100.00 per spin. According to Pragmatic Play’s publicly available volatility scale, Gates of Olympus has a 5/5 variance rating, meaning it is highly volatile. Wins may be less common than in games with lower variance, but they are higher in value.
Each spin in Gates of Olympus may include symbols with multipliers ranging from 2x to 500x the bet. When symbols with multipliers are involved in a winning combination, the multiplier is applied to the total win at the end of the spin. If there are multiple multipliers on one spin, they are added together before being applied to the total win.
The free spins bonus round in Gates of Olympus is triggered when you land three, four, five, or six scatters. This will award you with 15 free spins and a payout worth 3x, 5x, or 100x your bet, depending on the number of scatters.
The main difference between the free spins bonus round and the base game is that the multipliers attached to symbols are applied globally. All available multipliers are applied to all winning combinations, eliminating the need to worry about which symbols land with multipliers. The multiplier is then locked in place and does not reset between spins.
Gates of Olympus also offers an Ante Bet option, like several other Pragmatic Play slots. By activating the Ante Bet option, your bet size is increased by 25%. This will add additional scatter symbols to the reels, increasing your chances of triggering the free spins bonus feature. Ante Bet doubles your chances of triggering the bonus round.
