Gates of Olympus.

Pay anywhere, then tumble

Eight or more matching regular symbols can form a win anywhere on the grid. You do not follow conventional fixed paylines. After a winning result, the paid symbols disappear and replacement symbols fall into the open positions. Read the paytable to see how symbol counts affect awards.

Multipliers and free spins

Multiplier symbols can reach 500x. Four or more scatters trigger 15 free spins. In those free spins, a multiplier must appear on a winning spin to enter the running total. Read the in-game calculation panel to see how the accumulated value affects a qualifying win.

Before you play

Confirm that the loaded title is the original Gates of Olympus. A similarly styled version can have different limits and bonus rules. Check the displayed RTP configuration and feature availability in the game itself. A maximum-win figure describes a limit, not a typical result.

Regular symbols and special symbols

Treat the paytable as three separate explanations. Regular symbols such as gems and themed objects have count-based awards. Scatter symbols activate the free-spin feature under its trigger condition. Multiplier symbols modify qualifying wins. Counting all colourful objects together or reading a multiplier as a regular paying symbol makes the result harder to understand.

For example, eight matching regular symbols need not form a straight line or touch each other. Their placement anywhere on the grid is what distinguishes this format from a conventional line slot. The exact award still depends on which symbol appears and its count in the paytable.

A tumble is part of the same round

After regular symbols pay, they clear and replacements enter. Those replacements can produce further matching-symbol wins, continuing the sequence. Watch the displayed round total rather than treating each movement of the reels as a separate paid spin. A tumble sequence finishes when it no longer produces the win required to continue.

In a demo, keep your stake unchanged while observing this. It makes it easier to compare the amounts shown before and after the feature calculation. This is an exercise in reading the interface, not a method for influencing the next set of symbols.

Why the free-spin multiplier feels different

In the original's free spins, a multiplier on a winning spin joins the feature's running total. That stored total and the value printed on a newly landed symbol are different numbers. Follow the in-game explanation of when the total is applied; do not assume a multiplier landing without a win automatically adds to it.

Four or more scatters start 15 free spins. The word free refers to those feature spins, not to guaranteed profit or a risk-free paid session. A bonus can return less than the stakes spent before triggering it, and a session need not reach the bonus at all.

Original versus the later editions

The original's multiplier-symbol ceiling is 500x. The 1000 edition raises that ceiling, while 2500 also introduces different free-spin modes. Super Scatter adds a special trigger-related prize. Those changes are reasons to read a different rule sheet, rather than to treat every Olympus screenshot as evidence for the original.

Use this edition to learn the basic distinction between symbol awards, tumbles and feature multipliers. If your loaded game says 1000, 2500, Super Scatter or Xmas 1000, switch to its own guide. Similar artwork is less reliable than the full title in the game's information menu.
