Gates Of Olympus’ RTP And Volatility
Thanks to Pragmatic Play’s publicly-available volatility scale, we know that Gates of Olympus ranks 5/5 when it comes to variance. This means the slot is highly volatile – and it means that wins are less frequent than games that are lower in variance.
When it comes to RTP, Gates of Olympus has a fairly healthy default RTP of 96.50%. However, Pragmatic do offer their slots in flexible RTP settings, so some online casinos may choose to offer the game with a lower return to player percentage.
Multiplier Symbols
On any spin, symbols can drop down into view with multipliers attached to them.
These multipliers range between 2X and 500X, and when the symbols with multipliers on them are involved with a win, the multiplier is applied to that win at the end of the winning cascade. If there are multiple multipliers in view on a single spin, they are added together at the end of the spin before being applied against the win total.
Free Spins
No modern-day video slot would be complete without a free-spins bonus round, and Gates of Olympus’ is triggered by landing three, four, five or six of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. You will then receive 15 free spins, along with a payout worth 3X, 5X or 100X your stake depending on the amount of scatter symbols present.
The main difference in the free-spins bonus round – compared to the base-game – is that the multipliers attached to symbols are applied globally. That means that you don’t have to worry about which symbols drop down with multipliers in view; any multipliers that are present are applied to all winning combo. What’s more, this multiplier then locks in place – it doesn’t reset between spins.
Ante Bet
Like a number of Pragmatic Play’s slots, Gates of Olympus also contains an Ante Bet option.
This – if you choose to activate it – increases the size of your stake by 25%.
In return, extra scatter symbols are added to the reels (making it easier for you to form wins).
In fact, Pragmatic Play have stated that the Ante Bet actually doubles your chance of hitting the bonus round – which seems pretty generous, considering it’s only a 25% increase in your stake.
