DAILYJILI Gates of Olympus — Tumbling Reels, Multiplier Orbs & RTP

Of the Pragmatic Play titles covered here, Gates of Olympus is the one built around a set of multiplier orbs that fall independent from any winning cluster, yet in the end act on the whole cluster in a single step.

Before any money goes on a game, understand how it pays.

What the maximum win figure actually means

On Gates of Olympus, the 5000x ceiling that is published stands for the highest outcome one round can reach in relation to the stake. It never says how often any outcome occurs, being a boundary and not a target. A game may pair a very high ceiling with small amounts on nearly every payout it makes.

The ceiling needs the volatility beside it to mean much, so read the two side by side. Only as a pair do the two show what shape the game has, and either one on its own is nearly meaningless.

Stepping through the Gates of Olympus feature round

To judge this game by base spins and nothing else is to miss the point of it.

The 6x5 grid pays whenever eight or more of a symbol are showing, regardless of line, and the paid symbols are taken out so that others can fall into the empty spots. Clusters have nothing to do with when multiplier orbs show up, since the orbs simply appear on their own schedule, add together while on screen, and then apply to the whole tumble sequence. This mechanism accounts for the gap between a modest-looking cascade that resolves at several hundred times the stake and an identical follow-up that pays almost nothing.

The 5000x maximum win that Pragmatic Play publishes for this title is a ceiling on a single round, and no session should be planned around it.

Gates of Olympus in relation to its siblings

Gates of Olympus 1000 is not a rebalanced take on this title, since it is listed on its own. With a ceiling for multipliers lifted from 500x to 1000x, a meter that adds up multipliers throughout the whole sequence, and a published 15,000x maximum win, it goes well beyond this game’s 5,000x. Same theme, different mathematics.

The RTP and volatility of Gates of Olympus, placed in context

Published as 96.50%, the RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins, and it is not a rate for any single evening.

Three settings, 96.50%, 95.51% and 94.50%, can be selected by operators for this title, as independent records document. Pragmatic publishes only the first.

Pragmatic Play’s description of it is high volatility, a term about the shape of the results instead of their size.
