JL59 Gates of Olympus — Tumbling Reels, Multiplier Orbs & RTP

Pragmatic Play released Gates of Olympus around multiplier orbs with their own landing logic, separate from the winning cluster, that afterwards take effect across all of it together, and that is the part that changes how it plays.

Stake size is your call, so make it after the numbers on this page have had their say.

What the maximum win figure actually means

Gates of Olympus has a published ceiling of 5000x, which is the biggest outcome one round can produce relative to the stake. Only a boundary is being described here, with no target in it, and the odds of any particular outcome fall outside its scope. A huge maximum does not stop a game from returning only modest amounts on almost every win.

A ceiling means little unless the volatility sits beside it, so read the two as a pair. Only in combination do the two describe the game’s shape, and alone each is nearly useless.

Gates of Olympus and how its feature round operates

In this game the base spins are ordinary and the feature round is where it gets distinctive.

Eight or more symbols landing in any position on the 6x5 grid are enough to pay, since count matters instead of lines, and the winners are taken away while replacements drop down. Adding together every orb on screen produces the figure applied to the whole tumble sequence, and the multiplier orbs themselves land on their own schedule, free of any cluster. Hence the odd result that a cascade looking modest can resolve at several hundred times the stake while the identical cascade after it pays almost nothing.

Where a single round tops out for this title is 5000x, the maximum win Pragmatic Play publishes, and a session plan should not rest on it.

Gates of Olympus’s standing among its siblings

This game’s rebalanced version is not Gates of Olympus 1000, which is a separate listing. Whereas this game’s 5,000x is its maximum win, it publishes 15,000x, and it also adds a meter that accumulates multipliers across the whole sequence on top of raising the multiplier ceiling from 500x to 1000x. Same theme, different mathematics.

Where Gates of Olympus RTP and volatility sit, in context

Spread over millions of spins, the published RTP of 96.50% is a long-run average and says nothing about what happens in one evening.

Independent records name 96.50%, 95.51% and 94.50% as the choices open to an operator for this title, three configurations in all. Pragmatic publishes only the first.

The shape of the results, and not their size, is what Pragmatic Play means when it calls it high volatility.
