Pragmatic Play · 2023
A high-volatility Pragmatic Play video slot on six reels and five rows, where wins pay anywhere and tumble. Below: how rounds run, symbol payouts, bonus modes and the RTP figures.
Seven rows explained
The most common worry is what RTP and volatility actually mean for each bet.
| What it measures | Game setting |

| Game provider | Pragmatic Play |
| RTP (return to player) | 96.49% / 96.50% |
| Volatility level | High volatility |

On the 6x5 grid, a win forms when eight or more matching symbols land anywhere, with no fixed paylines. Winning symbols are removed and new ones fall in from above, so one spin can run through several tumbles. The theme is Ancient Greece and mythology, and the symbols are crowns, hourglasses, chalices, rings and coloured gems, with the Zeus Scatter as the special symbol.
Multiplier orbs land at random during the base game, with values from 2x to 1000x. Their values are added together and applied to the whole tumble total of a spin. In Free Spins, the total multiplier keeps building across the whole round and never resets, while Double Chance doubles how often free spins come. Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins are paid options, and Tumble runs through every spin.
Bonus gains explained
After reading, you will know how each mode starts and what it changes on the reels.
4+ SCATTER symbols landing anywhere on the reels trigger 15 spins. The total multiplier builds across the round and never resets. Each MULTIPLIER orb landing on a winning spin adds its value permanently. 3+ SCATTER retrigger +5 spins while special reels stay active, and the 15000x cap is enforced.

Symbols land on a 6x5 pay-anywhere grid at a 20x bet multiplier. Winning symbols are removed and new ones fill from above, with no tumble limit. MULTIPLIER orbs land at random with values from 2x to 1000x, summed and applied to the full tumble total.

Extra SCATTER symbols land on special reels, which doubles the natural Free Spins frequency. The mode runs at a 25x bet multiplier, which is 1.25x the standard bet.

Round guide
Useful when you have picked a stake and want to know what the next spin does.
Pick a stake from A$0.20 up to A$125 before the first spin. Double Chance mode costs 1.25 times that stake and adds extra Scatter symbols.
Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid pay. Winning symbols vanish, new ones fall from above, and a spin can cascade with no limit on how many times.
Multiplier orbs land at random with values from 2x to 1000x. Their values are added up and applied to the total of the full tumble sequence.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 15 free spins. Each multiplier orb that lands on a winning spin adds its value to a total that never resets.
Decide your loss limit and time limit before the first spin. If play stops being fun, the National Gambling Helpline is on 1800 858 858.
Two ways to start
After this, you will know how to try the game and what the real version needs.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account with Vegasnow Casino and you must be 18+.
Play for realScatter symbols land at random on the reels, and four or more of them start the free spins. How often that happens cannot be known in advance. A session can bring no bonus round or several, and its result is random whatever the RTP is.
Every spin on the 6x5 grid pays out under one of two RTP versions. Which version Vegasnow Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so check there before you play. The two values, 96.49 and 96.50, sit 0.01 percentage points apart.
Tumbles can chain on one spin, and multiplier orbs that land during the win add to it. The maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. Nothing on the reels shows when a spin is close to it. It works as a cap, not a target.
Gates of Olympus 1000
Volatility, bets, bonus costs, RTP versions and demo, answered in plain terms before your first bet.
Gates of Olympus 1000 has high volatility, so wins can be far apart and uneven. The largest win is x15,000 times your bet, which is A$30,000 at the A$2 example top bet. How often a bonus comes cannot be known in advance.
Bets start at A$0.20, the minimum. The examples used on this page are A$0.20, A$1 and A$2, but you can stake more, up to A$125, the highest bet allowed here. Every win is a multiple of the bet you place, so a higher bet scales the payout.
Buy Free Spins is available in the Base Game at 100x the bet, which is A$200 at the A$2 example top bet. The Ante Bet costs 1.25x the bet, or A$2.50 at A$2. The buy is not available while Double Chance is active.
The game has two RTP versions, 96.49 and 96.50. RTP is the share of stakes returned over a long run, not a promise for one session. The Double Chance mode, at 1.25x the standard bet, has an RTP of 96.50.
Among the five games in the series, this version shares its 96.50 RTP and x15,000 max win with Xmas 1000. The original Gates of Olympus has a lower max win at x5,000, while Super Scatter reaches x50,000. Only POP, at 97.05, has a higher RTP.
The paytable is set at the A$0.20 minimum bet, so every symbol's payout can be read in money before you stake more. Each mode runs with its own rules, from the Base Game to Free Spins.
Players must be 18+ to play this slot. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or use BetStop, the self-exclusion register.
This slot is high volatility, so a session can drain a budget quickly. Decide the amount before the first spin and stop once it is gone.
Pick your stop point before the session starts, and keep it after a big win as well as after a run of losses.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you play, so the choice is made before the reels turn.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude. Stopping is possible at any moment, whatever your balance or last spin.
