Gates of Olympus

Does this slot suit your style of play?

A 6x5 grid carries a mythology theme drawn from Ancient Greece. Wins are not made on fixed paylines. Eight or more matching symbols that land anywhere on the grid pay, and the winning symbols vanish so new ones fall from above. This tumble repeats until a step brings no win, and every step is paid separately.

Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere start 15 free spins, and three or more during those spins add 5 more. Each Multiplier Orb that lands on a winning tumble step adds its random value to a TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter, which keeps its value across spins and retriggers. Every win, tumble steps included, is multiplied by that counter. Special reels bring extra Scatter symbols.

Skipping the base game for a fixed sum

A$1,000 is the price of Buy Free Spins at A$10, which is 100 times the bet, so the cost rises and falls with the stake.

Two rounds explained

Gates of Olympus, orbs and retriggers

This block settles what triggers the free spins and how the multiplier counter carries forward.

From Scatter to growing multiplier

Four or more Scatter symbols trigger 15 spins with special reels. A TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter persists across all spins, and each orb on a winning tumble step adds its value to it. Every win is multiplied by that counter. Three or more Scatter retrigger 5 more spins without resetting it.

Base Game reels15 free spins

Before the first spin lands

On the 6x5 grid, 8, 10 or 12+ matching symbols anywhere trigger a payout. Winning symbols disappear, the rest fall down, and new symbols drop in, repeating until no win remains. Multiplier Orbs on a winning tumble step are summed, and that sum multiplies the step's total win.

Five steps in order

Learn every step before you place a bet

Extreme Casino walks you through each round in order, so no step catches you by surprise.

  1. What does a bigger bet change?

    A$0.20 is the lowest stake and A$125 the highest, so you choose a bet between those limits before each round. Stakes such as A$0.50 or A$10 change how much every win pays.

  2. Why do symbols keep disappearing?

    8 matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger a payout. Winning symbols then disappear, the remaining symbols fall down, and new ones drop from above until no win is left.

  3. When a tumble step pays

    8, 10 or 12+ matching Scatter symbols pay in the base game, and Multiplier Orbs add a second layer on top of each winning tumble step.

  4. What carries the multiplier forward?

    4+ Scatter symbols anywhere trigger 15 Free Spins, and the special reels then bring more Scatter symbols into play. The TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter carries over from spin to spin.

  5. Gates of Olympus session budget

    1 spin starts a session, so fix your budget and stop point before you spin. No figure here can tell how long a session lasts or when the bonus arrives.

Bonus round timing and session results

The 96.50 RTP is a long-run figure, so it does not tell you when the bonus round will come. How often the free spins are triggered is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. Two players with the same bet can finish a session far apart, and nobody can predict which one will see the bonus first.

A 96.50 RTP on this page is the figure for one version of the game. Which RTP version Extreme Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so read them before your first spin. The rules are the place to confirm the version you are playing.

The x5,000 maximum win is a ceiling, and it is reached very rarely. Its money value depends on the bet you place, so a larger stake raises the ceiling in money. Nobody can know in advance whether a session will come near it.

Trial versus cash

Deciding whether to stake real money

This section settles whether a trial round is enough before you deposit or wager your own money.

6x5 is the grid in both modes. The demo needs no money and pays nothing, while the real game needs an account here and you must be 18+.

Gates of Olympus, one question at a time

After these answers you will know the volatility, the bets and how the bonus starts.

Is Gates of Olympus a high volatility slot?

5,000 times the bet is the top win on this slot. Volatility is high, so a win can come late in a session or not at all. How often the large wins land cannot be known in advance.

How many Scatter symbols start the free spins in Gates of Olympus?

4 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid trigger 15 free spins. During the free spins, 3 or more Scatter symbols add 5 more spins, and the TOTAL MULTIPLIER is not reset on retrigger. Special reels with more Scatter symbols are active.

What is the smallest and largest bet on Gates of Olympus?

A$0.20 is the smallest bet and A$125 the largest, so the top win at the largest bet is A$625,000. A$0.50 and A$10 are the bets used as examples on this page, not the limits.

Can I buy the bonus in Gates of Olympus, and what does it cost?

A$1,000 buys the free spins at a A$10 bet, which is 100 times the bet. The cost is always 100 times the bet you choose, so it rises and falls with your stake. The Ante Bet is a different paid option, set at 1.25 times the bet.
