Gates of Olympus 1000 is a slot from Pragmatic Play built around Zeus and Greek myth, played on a 6x5 grid with scatter pays instead of fixed paylines. It has very high volatility and a maximum win of 15,000x the stake.
How to start and set your stake
Once you have found Gates of Olympus 1000, open it and let it load fully. Read the paytable and the rules before your first spin, so you know what each symbol pays and how many matching symbols you need.
Stakes are changed with the bet controls inside the game. Every online slot in the UK has a maximum stake per spin, lower for players aged under 25, so the highest bet you can choose sits within that limit. Spins also run at a minimum pace. There is no autoplay or quick spin, so each round starts when you press the spin button.
Before you play, check three things in the game's information screen:
- the value of each symbol and how many matching symbols are needed to pay
- how the bonus spins are triggered
- how the multiplier orbs are added to wins
With a very high volatility game, it helps to decide your spending before you start and to stick to it. You can read about deposit limits and other tools on the safer gambling page. If you play on a phone, the mobile version page explains what to expect.

How the features play out
Wins are not made along lines. Matching symbols pay wherever they land on the grid once there are enough of them, and the paytable gives the exact count. When a win lands, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the gaps. That can produce a chain of wins from a single spin, or nothing at all if the first drop does not connect.
The multiplier orbs are what give the slot its swings. They carry multipliers that are applied to wins, so a spin with a large orb can pay far more than the same symbols without one. Most spins will not include one that matters.
The bonus round starts when enough Zeus scatters appear on the grid. It plays out as a run of bonus spins, and this is where the multipliers have the most room to build up. Because the round is triggered by chance, there can be long stretches without it.
The RTP of 96.5% is a long-run average across all players and all spins. It is not what one session returns, and with very high volatility the gap between sessions can be wide. The 15,000x ceiling is the most a single round can pay, and reaching it is rare.
Who it suits
Gates of Olympus 1000 suits players who accept rarer, bigger wins over frequent small ones, and who are comfortable with long quiet spells and a balance that can drop quickly. It is a poor fit if you want steady, gentle play or a slot where the balance moves slowly. Every spin is random, and no pattern in earlier spins affects the next one.
