Gates of Olympus Explained
Gates of Olympus is a Greek mythology slot from Pragmatic Play, released in February 2021, with Zeus at its centre.
Symbols pay anywhere on six tumbling reels, and random multiplier symbols worth up to 500x can land in both the base game and free spins.
In free spins, those multipliers feed a running total, which is what sets the bonus round apart.
Pay Anywhere, Then Tumble
Land 8 to 30 matching symbols anywhere on screen to win up to 50x.
After each win the reels tumble, so one spin can produce more than one win.
Multiplier Symbols
Random multiplier symbols can land with values up to 500x.
They boost wins in the base game as well as in free spins, so a multiplier can matter on any spin.
Free Spins and the Running Multiplier
Four or more scatters trigger the bonus game with 15 free spins.
In the round, every multiplier that lands on a winning spin is added to a running total, and that total is applied to the win.
As a result the multiplier builds as the round goes on, and later wins can benefit from earlier multipliers.
