Gates of Olympus 1000 is Pragmatic Play’s bigger, louder sequel to one of the most-played slots in South Africa. Same 6×5 grid, same tumbling mechanic, same pay-anywhere structure — but with multiplier orbs reaching 1000x and a maximum win of 15,000x your stake.

How the Game Works
Pay Anywhere
There are no paylines. Land eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid and they pay. Position is irrelevant, which is why the game feels more forgiving than its volatility suggests.
The Tumble Feature
Winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in to fill the gaps. If the new arrangement creates another win, it pays and tumbles again. A single spin can chain several wins together.
Multiplier Orbs
This is the difference between Olympus 1000 and the original. Zeus drops multiplier orbs onto the reels carrying values up to 1000x. At the end of a tumble sequence, every orb value on screen is added together and applied to the total win. That is how the 15,000x ceiling becomes reachable.
Free Spins
Landing enough scatters triggers the free spins round, where multiplier orbs accumulate across the feature rather than resetting each spin — the mechanic that makes the bonus round the heart of the game.
The RTP Warning Every Player Should Read
Pragmatic Play supplies Gates of Olympus 1000 with a default RTP of 96.50%, but also offers operators builds at 95.50% and 94.50%. The difference over a long session is real money.
Do not rely on a figure quoted on a review site, including this one. Open the game, tap the i (information) panel, and read the RTP that applies to the version you are actually playing. This is the single most useful habit a slots player can build.

A Word on High Volatility
High volatility means long stretches of nothing punctuated by occasional large wins. A 15,000x maximum is a headline figure, not an expectation — the vast majority of sessions will never approach it. Budget for the dry spells, because they are the normal state of this game.
Play Responsibly
Bonus buy features make it possible to spend a large amount very quickly, and high volatility makes losing streaks feel like they should be “due” to end. They are not. Set a budget before you spin, avoid chasing a bonus round, and stop at your limit. Free and confidential help is available on 0800 006 008.
