Everything about Gates of Olympus, in one place

Gates of Olympus is an online slot from the game developer Pragmatic Play, first released in February 2021. It is set on Mount Olympus, uses a 6×5 grid with pay-anywhere wins and tumbling reels, and features Zeus dropping multiplier orbs. Its success led to a family of sequels and spin-offs.

This site covers six slot versions: the original (2021), Gates of Olympus 1000 (2023), Xmas 1000 (2024), Super Scatter (2025), and the newer 2500 and POP releases (2026). A dice game called Gates of Olympus Dice also exists. See the games page for a side-by-side comparison.

In the 6×5 versions you win by landing eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols disappear and new ones tumble in, so one spin can pay several times. Multiplier orbs add to the win, and four or more scatters start 15 free spins. Outcomes are decided by a random number generator, so no method guarantees a win; our strategy guides focus on managing budget and variance.

There is no best time. The game uses a certified random number generator and every spin is independent, so the hour of the day, the day of the week or the season does not change the probability of a win. Choose a time when you can stick to your budget and time limit.

No. Each player’s spin is generated separately and independently. How many people are online has no effect on your result.

No. A slot does not track other players’ results. Another player’s win, even a very large one, does not make the game more or less likely to pay you on the next spin.

No. This is the gambler’s fallacy. Past spins do not influence future ones, so a long losing streak does not mean a win is “due”. The published RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins, not a promise for a single session.

RTP stands for return to player. It is the share of all wagered money a game is designed to pay back over a very large number of spins. Most versions have a default RTP of about 96.5%, which means roughly 3.5 units of every 100 wagered are kept by the house over the long run. It does not predict any individual session.

Yes. Pragmatic Play certifies several RTP profiles for its games (the default is usually around 96.5%, with lower profiles available to operators) and each operator chooses which to run. Check the game’s info screen at your casino to see the number in use.

No. The chance of a winning combination is the same at any stake; only the size of the payout changes. The exceptions are optional features such as the Ante Bet, which raises the stake in return for a higher chance of triggering free spins.

The maths is the same, but the experience is not a forecast. Demo mode uses play money and the same rules, so it is a good way to learn features. Short-term results in a demo neither predict nor improve what will happen with real money.
