Gates of Olympus Slots
Gates of Olympus is an Ancient Greece inspired video online slot game delivering a fresh and unique experience and released by innovative developers Pragmatic Play in February of 2021. It has since proved to be hugely popular for a whole legion of fans worldwide for its immersive and engaging gameplay as well as sizeable win potential.
Players are transported to a celestial realm of marble columns in the seat of the Gods which is Mount Olympus where the mighty Zeus hovers above the reels ready to strike his unique brand of lightning to unleash tumbling wins and multipliers for players to create lucrative combinations. The vibrancy of the design and characters is exquisite which is complemented by rich and lively animation in addition to some great orchestral sound which captures the mythical atmosphere perfectly.
The colourful gaming grid opens up 5 reels with 6 rows and features 20 paylines to make winning combinations where symbols pay anywhere on clusters of eight or more of matching symbols when they land simultaneously on the reels. This all ways pays mechanic means these symbols do not have to be in a specific payline or on adjoining reels. With the tumble/cascade feature every time a winning combination appears new symbols drop down from above to take their place which can create even more winning opportunities in just one spin.
To begin gameplay at Gates of Olympus wagers will need to be set with levels that start from $0.20 for the minimum per spin and upwards to $125.00 for the maximum bet per spin. This diverse range nicely accommodates a wide variety of punter. For those who dislike manual gameplay there is the optional Autoplay option which allows up to 1,000 automatic spins to game with and this can be handy for those who are seeking to maintain a set gaming budget.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is favourable at 95.6% and the volatility is fiery and high. This means that wins will be less frequent but when they land they can be huge. This is certain to appease the bigger pockets of high rollers who like the thrill of riskier gameplay. However, it may be a challenge to those more novice punters who will need to monitor their gaming budget with care and prudence as there can be long gaps between wins.
The highest paying symbols are a crown, hourglass, a jewelled ring and a chalice and these offer payouts of 50x, 25x, 15x and 12x for more than 12 icons respectively. Various multi coloured gems are the least lucrative paying out 2x, 4x, 5x, 8x and 10x respectively more than 12 icons.
The absence of a wild symbol makes space for the scatter symbols to play a larger role which is what a very animated Zeus does very well. Four, five or six scatters trigger the Free Spins feature and also pay out 3x, 5x and 100x the stake respectively.
Fifteen free spins begin this lucrative bonus feature and there is a chance to get extra free spins if three or more scatters land during this feature. In addition, there are flashy orb multiplier symbols thanks to Zeus´s electrifying hand that can land both in the base game and/or during the free spins with a random value from 2x to 500x which can greatly enhance payouts. These multipliers can also stack and multiply each other and where with a good dose of luck impressive winnings can flood in.
Of further note is the Ante Bet feature option. This can be valuable as it allows players to increase their bet size in exchange for a better chance at triggering the Free Spins bonus game.
Punters can take Gates of Olympus slot game on the go to play anywhere and anytime as it is fully mobile optimized. It is compatible with any iOS Apple, Android or Samsung smartphone or tablet device with a responsive design which automatically resizes for optimal and super slick performance.
