Pragmatic Play · 2023
Gates of Olympus 1000 is a high volatility video slot from Pragmatic Play on a 6x5 grid. The figures, rounds and costs follow before the first spin.
Winning symbols land anywhere on the 6x5 grid, and 8 or more matching symbols pay. The theme is Ancient Greece and mythology, but the mechanic drives the play. Each winning symbol disappears, and new symbols fall from above to fill the gaps. A tumble can lead to another win, with no limit on tumbles per spin. The position of the symbols on the grid does not matter.
Free Spins start when 4 or more Zeus Scatter symbols land anywhere on the grid, and they give 15 spins. Each MULTIPLIER orb on a winning spin adds its value to a total that never resets in the round. Double Chance adds extra scatters on special reels. Ante Bet raises the stake by 1.25x. Buy Free Spins is available in the base game.

Five steps below
You will have followed one full round, from the bet to the session limit.
The reels wait for a bet between A$0.20 and A$125, set before the first spin. Double Chance costs 1.25x the standard bet and doubles natural free spins frequency.
Symbols pay wherever they land on the 6x5 grid, from eight matching symbols. Winners vanish, new symbols fill from above, and there is no tumble limit per spin.
Multiplier orbs land at random on the reels, with values from 2x to 1000x. Their values add together and apply to the total of the whole tumble sequence.
Four or more Zeus Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 15 free spins. Each multiplier orb on a winning spin adds its value to a total that never resets.
Set your limit before the first spin, since each round starts from a bet you place. If play feels out of hand, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Mode guide
The worry this section removes is how the free spins start, and whether the multiplier can drop.
Four or more Zeus Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels and start 15 free spins with special reels active. The total multiplier never resets. Each multiplier orb on a winning spin adds its value permanently. Three or more scatters retrigger and add 5 spins; a 15000x cap applies.
Base game15 free spins
Winning symbols vanish from the 6x5 pay-anywhere grid, and new ones fall from above with no tumble limit per spin. Multiplier orbs land at random with values from 2x to 1000x. Their sum applies to the full tumble sequence total. The base game uses a 20x bet multiplier.
Any new spinTumble wins
Extra Scatter symbols land on special reels, doubling the natural Free Spins frequency. This version runs at a 25x bet multiplier, which is 1.25x the standard bet. The extra symbols raise the chance of a natural Free Spins trigger.

Screen tour
Sugar Casino shows each screen in the game's own terms, so nothing needs translating.
Before any spin
Shows whether the demo or real money suits you before the first spin, and what each needs.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing, so it suits learning the reels. The real game needs a Sugar Casino account and you must be 18 or older.
PlayFour or more Zeus Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start the 15 free spins, but nobody can say when the next four will land. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. Each spin is random, so one session can bring several rounds or none, whatever the RTP version running.
Each spin on the reels returns to the player under one of the two RTP versions in the lobby. Which version runs here is shown only in the game rules, so check that page before the first spin. The RTP figure is a long-run average over many spins, not a promise for one session.
Tumble chains and multiplier orbs can stack a round into a large win, yet the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. In Free Spins the total multiplier is capped by the game, so a round cannot grow past that limit. Treat the top figure as a limit on the game, not an expected result.
Players must be 18+. Support is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you open Gates of Olympus 1000, and keep that amount separate from your everyday money.
Pick your stopping point before the first spin, and keep to it after a big win as much as after a loss.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so the session ends where you planned it.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop, and stay away from the reels until you feel like yourself again.

Know what to expect
At Sugar Casino we show the numbers first, so you can judge the game before you bet.
The reels move straight into the Free Spins round once you buy it, for 100 times the bet. At the example top bet of A$2 that is A$200. Buy Free Spins is disabled while Double Chance is active.
Gates of Olympus 1000 keeps the same 96.50 RTP as most of the series, but its 15000x cap sits below Super Scatter and above the original. The POP version runs at 97.05 and is the only one with a higher return.
The slot has high volatility. Results come in uneven sizes, with stretches of small or no wins between the bigger ones. Nobody can predict when a big win will land.
Two RTP versions run here, 96.49 and 96.50. The RTP is a long run figure, so a single session can land well above or below it. The version you pick changes that figure, not what happens in any one spin.
Stakes run from A$0.20 to A$125 a spin. The Ante Bet adds 25 percent to the stake, so the A$2 example costs A$2.50 with it. Every win scales with the bet you pick.
