Pragmatic Play · 2023
Gates of Olympus 1000 is a high volatility video slot set in Ancient Greece on a 6x5 grid. Below: its figures, rounds, bonus modes and paid features.
A 6x5 grid with an Ancient Greece and Mythology theme. A win needs 8 matching symbols, and they count wherever they land on the grid. Winning symbols are removed, and new ones fall from above in a process called tumbling. A spin has no limit on tumbles, so one spin can produce several wins in a row.
Multiplier orbs land with values from 2x to 1000x, and their values add up across a whole tumble sequence before the total is applied. Free Spins start with 4 or more Scatter symbols, and the total multiplier builds across the round without ever resetting. Double Chance mode costs 1.25 times the standard bet and doubles how often Free Spins come through extra Scatter symbols.

Five stages to payout
Read this before your first spin to see how a bet turns into a payout.
A$0.20 up to A$125: pick your bet before the first spin. The bet sets every payout, so at A$2 the top win of x15,000 pays A$30,000.
8 matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid pay out. Winning symbols vanish, new ones fall from above, and the tumble keeps going with no limit per spin.
2x to 1000x is the range of each Multiplier orb, and they land at random. Their values add up and multiply the full tumble total of the spin.
4+ Zeus Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 15 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 more spins, and a 15000x cap applies.
1800 858 858 is the National Gambling Helpline, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register. Set your limit before the first spin and stop once you reach it.

Bonus rules
Settles when each mode starts, what happens inside it, and which parts remain random.
4 or more Zeus Scatter symbols start 15 spins wherever they land. A total multiplier builds across the round and never resets, so each Multiplier orb landing on a winning spin adds its value permanently. Three or more Scatters retrigger for 5 more spins. The 15000x cap applies.
Scatter landing15 free spins
6x5 grid with pay-anywhere wins and a 20x bet multiplier. Winning symbols are removed, new symbols fall from above, and tumbling continues with no tumble limit per spin. Multiplier orbs land at random with values of 2x-1000x. The orb sum applies to the full tumble sequence total.

Gates of Olympus 1000
After reading this, you will know how the demo differs from playing for real money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Surge Casino account and a player aged 18+.
Play for real96.50% of every A$100 staked returns to players over a very long run, yet no single session follows that line. Whether a Free Spins round starts, and how it ends, is not known in advance. Four or more SCATTER symbols trigger the round, and nothing in the first spins shows when they will land. Two sessions with the same bet can end very differently.
96.49% and 96.50% are the two RTP versions of Gates of Olympus 1000. Which version each lobby entry runs is shown only in the game rules, so read the rules before you play for real money. The table below sets out both in money.
15,000x the bet is the maximum win of Gates of Olympus 1000, and it is a ceiling reached very rarely. At the top bet of A$125, that ceiling is A$1,875,000. It is a cap on the win, not a target you can plan around.

Gates of Olympus 1000
Read this before your first spin or when comparing versions of the series.
100x the bet buys Free Spins directly, which is A$200 at the example top bet of A$2. Double Chance mode costs 1.25x the standard bet, or A$2.50 at A$2, and the buy is disabled while it is active.
96.49% and 96.50% are the two RTP versions of this slot. RTP is the return over a very long run, so the version at 96.50% gives back A$96.50 for every A$100 staked on average, while 96.49% gives back A$96.49.
6x5 grid with high volatility means wins come less often but can be large. Multiplier orbs and tumble sequences build the big wins, and how often they land cannot be known in advance.
97.05% is the highest RTP in the series, held by Gates of Olympus POP. This version offers 15,000x, below the 25,000x of Gates of Olympus POP and the 50,000x of Gates of Olympus Super Scatter.
15,000x the bet is the maximum win, which is A$30,000 at the example top bet of A$2. At A$125, the highest bet allowed here, the same cap pays A$1,875,000. The Free Spins round also stops at 15,000x.
A$1 is the bet the paytable uses, and the demo mode lets you play the game from the lobby before you choose a real stake. Real money bets start at A$0.20.
