Gates of Olympus
In gambling, as in any online game, the release date of the entertainment is important: firstly, modern graphics are better than those that were considered top-notch a few years ago, and secondly, even good ideas become stale over time, and users want something new. However, Gates of Olympus from Pragmatic Play can safely be considered the benchmark in the industry — at least, this game is timeless, just like the ancient gods whose theme it exploits. If you are new to gambling, this is one of the best options to start your acquaintance with gambling at SpinBetter.
What is Gates of Olympus and why is the game popular
Gates of Olympus is a video slot released in 2021 that has not lost its popularity. Antiquity was chosen as the main theme for the design and music, although the symbols do not depict gods (which would be logical, given the name), but various jewels belonging to those very gods. Among other merits, which we will discuss in detail below, the developer has managed to strike a balance: on the one hand, the game offers excitement and risk, and on the other, it has a surprisingly relaxing interface, a light touch of adventure, and an unquestionable confidence that those who believe in their lucky star will surely be rewarded.
The main idea
The playing field includes six reels, each with symbols arranged in five rows. This symbol layout theoretically allows for a huge number of geometric winning lines, but the developer, Pragmatic Play, decided not to complicate things: you simply need to land at least eight identical symbols anywhere on the screen. Payouts are made for combinations of 8, 10 or 12 or more identical symbols. The exception is the Zeus scatter symbol: four Zeus symbols on the screen are enough to receive a payout, plus this combination guarantees the player bonus free spins.
Difference from classic slots
Although Gates of Olympus can no longer be called new, it would be wrong to classify it as a classic slot. Here are a few criteria that fundamentally distinguish it from the dusty classics:
- larger screen – classic slots usually have a maximum of four reels and three rows of symbols;
- payouts for symbols anywhere – no need to collect lines, and for the same reason, there is no need for a special wild symbol;
- fall feature – when a winning combination appears, the symbols involved disappear and are replaced by others (without a new spin!);
- bonus round – a minimum of fifteen in-game free spins, provided that the player collects at least four scatters on the playing field;
- the Ante bet doubles the player’s chances of getting the required number of scatters, provided that the bet is increased by 25%;
- there is an option to purchase a bonus round.
In short, despite its apparent simplicity, Gates of Olympus offers a variety of gaming scenarios and is one of the most popular slots on SpinBetter for good reason.
Potential for big wins thanks to multipliers and random bonuses
Even in standard game mode, players can win big: if a large number of identical symbols appear, especially if they are high-value symbols, it is possible to multiply your bet by 100 times. But that's not all: once you're in the bonus round in any way (by landing four scatters in "normal" mode or with an ante bet, or simply by purchasing it), you can potentially land multipliers after the next spin, increasing your winnings up to 500x each. There can be several multipliers on the screen at once - in this case, their values are multiplied, and with perfect luck, you can win up to 5000x in just one spin!
How Gates of Olympus works — rules and mechanics
To play Gates of Olympus for real money, you must be a registered and authorised SpinBetter customer with a positive gaming account balance. Once you have launched the slot, set your bet amount in the settings: you can bet between $0.2 and $125 per spin. By default, each spin is started manually, but you can switch to Auto Play mode, in which case the reels will start new spins automatically until they are stopped or your bankroll runs out. To save time watching the spinning reels, you can switch to Fast Play mode, which is available in the settings.
It is noteworthy that it is not necessary to know the rules of Gates of Olympus: just start the spins, and the payouts will be automatically credited to your gaming account after each win.
Bonuses and special features
The main in-game bonus in the Gates of Olympus slot is the bonus round mentioned above: land four scatters in the main game mode and enjoy fifteen free spins, during which you can land multipliers in addition to the usual symbols. If, during the bonus round, the player manages to land at least three scatters in a single spin, the round will continue for another five spins. As in the regular mode, the Fall feature is activated in the bonus round, filling the space of the winning symbols.
SpinBetter offers customers participating in our promotions and prize draws the opportunity to spend their bonus money, and sometimes free spins, on Gates of Olympus. Even if the free spins are intended for a specific (other) slot, you can usually wager your winnings on any slot.
If you are not yet a confident player, are not familiar with Gates of Olympus, and would like to get acquainted with it without any risk to your own pocket, start the game in demo mode. You don’t even need to register with SpinBetter to do this: you play anonymously with virtual credits provided by the establishment in unlimited quantities and cannot win real money.
Advantages and disadvantages of Gates of Olympus
Most of the advantages of Gates of Olympus have already been discussed above – all that remains is to summarise. This slot from Pragmatic Play has been winning players' hearts for many years thanks to the following factors:
- The game is not limited to the primitive spinning of reels; it has numerous features, although its rules remain fairly simple even for players with no prior experience.
- From an aesthetic point of view, Gates of Olympus remains one of the most beautiful slots in the entire industry.
- You can play for money without significant risk, paying only $0.2 per spin.
- In the bonus round, the maximum payout for a single spin reaches an impressive 5000x.
- The Fall feature can bring more than one win from each spin./li>
- The bonus round adds more variety to the gameplay, and you can even buy it.
- SpinBetter offers you the opportunity to try Gares of Olympus risk-free in demo mode so that you can evaluate its advantages and disadvantages for yourself.
- The game is adapted to run on mobile devices and can be a great way to entertain yourself when you are away from home.
Is it any wonder that a game that has been at the top for years has virtually no flaws? Critics most often point out that the maximum win is set at "only" 5000x, whereas even in other Pragmatic Play creations, the maximum can be set much higher; however, even 5000x is quite rare in any game, so this is hardly a problem.
