PH22 Gates of Olympus — Tumbling Reels, Multiplier Orbs & RTP

Gates of Olympus is a Pragmatic Play title, and the thing worth understanding before playing it is multiplier orbs whose landing is independent of the winning cluster, with each then applying to all of it in a single step.

Spin number one is best preceded by a read of these figures.

Gates of Olympus relative to its siblings

Gates of Olympus 1000 has a listing separate from this one, and is not a rebalanced version of it. Where this game’s maximum win is 5,000x, it carries a published maximum win of 15,000x, with the multiplier ceiling lifted from 500x to 1000x and a meter accumulating multipliers across the whole sequence. Same theme, different mathematics.

Reading the RTP and volatility of Gates of Olympus in context

96.50% as a published RTP is a long-run average taken over millions of spins, and an evening is not governed by that rate.

Documented in independent records for this title are three operator-selectable configurations, set at 96.50%, 95.51% and 94.50%. Pragmatic publishes only the first.

High volatility is Pragmatic Play’s description of it, and that speaks to the shape of the results and not their size.

What drives the Gates of Olympus feature round, step by step

The feature round is the part of the game that really pays out.

On the 6x5 grid, symbols are paid according to how many appear rather than where they sit on a line: eight or more anywhere pays, the winners are taken off, and what drops in takes their place. Each multiplier orb turns up on its own timetable rather than being attached to a cluster, and the orbs showing on screen are summed before the total is applied to the whole tumble sequence. This accounts for a modest-looking cascade resolving at several hundred times the stake, then an identical cascade directly after it paying almost nothing.

Pragmatic Play’s 5000x maximum win for this title is the published cap on a single round, not a figure to plan a session around.

What the maximum win figure actually means

Gates of Olympus has a published ceiling of 5000x, the biggest outcome one round can reach relative to the stake. It sets a boundary instead of a target, and tells you nothing about how frequently any outcome comes up. A big top prize on a game says little about the usual win, which may be tiny on nearly every paying round.

The ceiling needs to be read with the volatility beside it, not by itself. Only together do the two describe the shape of the game, and either one alone tells you next to nothing.
