Gates of Olympus 1000

Gates of Olympus 1000 is a Pragmatic Play slot released on December 14, 2023 as the first numbered sequel in the Gates of Olympus series. It keeps the 6×5 grid, pay anywhere wins from 8 or more matching symbols, and the tumbling reels of the 2021 original, and changes the numbers around them: multiplier orbs now reach 1,000x, the win cap triples to 15,000x, and the official volatility rating moves up to high. The stated theoretical RTP is 96.50%.

The base rules are unchanged from Gates of Olympus: winning symbols tumble away and new ones fall in until no combination remains, the crown tops the paytable at 50x the bet for 12 or more symbols, and the Zeus scatter pays 3x, 5x, or 100x for 4, 5, or 6 anywhere. Stakes run from 0.20 to 300 per spin.

Orbs up to 1,000x

The headline change is the orb table. Multiplier orbs still land randomly on any reel during spins and tumbles, in both base game and free spins, but the value range now runs higher: the full list is 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, and 1,000x, with the top value carried by a distinct crown-framed orb. As before, orbs pay nothing by themselves: when a tumbling sequence ends in a win, every visible orb value is added together and the sequence total is multiplied by the sum.

Free Spins

Landing 4 or more scatters awards 15 free spins on special reels, and 3 or more scatters during the round add 5 extra spins. The round accumulates a total multiplier: each orb that lands on a winning spin adds its value to the running total, and every later orb win is multiplied by the accumulated figure as well. A single 1,000x orb early in the round therefore shapes everything that follows, which is where most of the game’s added volatility lives.

Ante Bet and Bonus Buy

The options mirror the original: an Ante Bet at 25x the bet multiplier doubles the natural trigger chance and adds scatters to the reels while disabling the buy, or free spins can be purchased for 100x the total bet with 4 scatters guaranteed on the triggering spin. The stated RTP is 96.50% for normal play and the Ante Bet, and 96.49% for the buy.

Gates of Olympus 1000 Review

Gates of Olympus 1000 is a volatility remix rather than a redesign. Nothing about the loop changed, so the comparison with the original comes down to distribution: the 2021 game spreads its 5,000x potential more evenly, while this version concentrates value in the rare spins where a top-tier orb meets a decent tumble, and its official high volatility rating reflects that honestly. The free spins round benefits most, since the total multiplier turns one large orb into a lasting boost. Players who found the original’s ceiling too low get exactly what the title promises; players who valued its steadier pace have no reason to switch.
