Gates of Olympus is a Greek-mythology-themed slot from Pragmatic Play, released in 2021. It uses a 6-reel, 5-row pay-anywhere grid where wins are formed by landing at least eight matching symbols anywhere on the board; winning symbols then explode and are replaced by new ones tumbling into place, letting several wins cascade from a single spin.
A golden scatter symbol pays out directly regardless of position, and landing four or more triggers 15 free spins, during which a random multiplier awarded by Zeus can attach to a winning tumble and persist for the rest of the round, stacking with other multipliers landed later in the same feature.
The game has a return-to-player of 96.50% and high volatility, meaning long dry spells are possible but the payout ceiling is substantial: a maximum win of 5,000x the stake. Its lightning-and-thunder Greek-god presentation, straightforward pay-anywhere mechanic and stacking-multiplier free spins helped make Gates of Olympus one of Pragmatic Play’s most widely recognized titles and a genre-defining reference point for the wave of pay-anywhere, tumble-style slots that followed it.
