How to Play Gates of Olympus 1000
Playing Gates of Olympus 1000 is straightforward once you understand the scatter pays and tumbling mechanics:
- Set your bet ($0.20-$100 base, $125 with Ante Bet) and spin the 6×5 grid.
- Land 8+ matching symbols anywhere on screen to win—no paylines required, symbols just need to appear in sufficient quantity.
- Watch tumbles: Winning symbols disappear and new ones drop for chain reactions until no new wins form.
- Track multiplier orbs: Colored orbs (2x-1,000x) land randomly. When you win, all visible multipliers add together and multiply your payout.

Symbols and Paytable
Gates of Olympus 1000 uses scatter pays—land 8+ matching symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid to win. Premium symbols include crowns, hourglasses, rings, and chalices, while low-paying gems (purple, yellow, green, blue, red) fill the remaining positions. Zeus acts as the Scatter symbol, triggering free spins and awarding up to 100x for a full screen. No Wild symbols—all wins come from regular symbols and multipliers.
| Symbol | 8 Symbols | 10 Symbols | 12+ Symbols |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crown (Premium) | 10x | 25x | 50x |
| Chalice (Premium) | 2x | 10x | 25x |
| Ring (Premium) | 1.5x | 5x | 12x |
| Hourglass (Premium) | 1.2x | 4x | 10x |
| Red Gem (Low) | 0.5x | 2x | 5x |
| Blue Gem (Low) | 0.4x | 1.5x | 4x |
| Green Gem (Low) | 0.3x | 1.2x | 3x |
| Purple Gem (Low) | 0.25x | 1x | 2.5x |
| Yellow Gem (Low) | 0.2x | 0.8x | 2x |
Multiplier Orbs (2x to 1,000x)
Colored multiplier orbs appear randomly during base game and free spins, displaying values from 2x up to 1,000x—double the original’s 500x cap. When you land a winning combination, all visible multiplier values add together and apply to your win. For example, orbs showing 10x, 25x, and 50x combine for an 85x total multiplier.
The key difference in Gates of Olympus 1000: during free spins, multipliers don’t just add—they accumulate into a global multiplier that persists throughout the feature. Each new orb’s value adds to the running total, and this total applies to every subsequent win. By the final spins, the global multiplier can exceed 100x or more, turning even modest symbol wins into massive payouts.
Slot Features
Tumbling Reels
When you land 8+ matching symbols, those symbols disappear and new ones drop from above. This process repeats until no new wins form, allowing multiple payouts from a single spin. Combined with multiplier orbs that can land during tumbles, this creates escalating wins—particularly powerful during free spins where multipliers accumulate across the entire feature.
Slot Bonus Features
RTP & Volatility
Default RTP is 96.50%, above the 96% industry average. However, operators can configure lower versions (95.51% or 94.50%)—always verify in-game before playing. RTP remains 96.50% with or without Ante Bet; the 25% extra cost only doubles scatter frequency without altering the mathematical house edge.
Gates of Olympus 1000 is high volatility, meaning extended dry spells punctuated by occasional large wins. The scatter pays mechanic requiring 8+ symbols means frequent dead spins with 6-7 matching symbols. Free spins trigger roughly every 200-300 spins without Ante Bet (100-150 with Ante Bet active). Budget 100-200x your bet for base game sessions.
The 15,000x max win is triple the original’s 5,000x and realistically achievable through multiplier stacking during free spins. Most profitable sessions land in the 500x-2,000x range, with the 15,000x cap requiring extraordinary multiplier accumulation luck.
