Introduction
Gates of Olympus 1000 is Pragmatic Play's remastered follow-up to the original Gates of Olympus, following the same "1000" naming pattern seen in Sweet Bonanza 1000 and Sugar Rush 1000 — keeping the theme, symbol set and core mechanic intact while substantially raising the mathematical ceiling.
Quick game overview
The game retains the same 6x5 scatter-pays grid, tumble mechanic and accumulating multiplier free spins structure as the original Gates of Olympus, but the multiplier symbol value range and overall mathematics have been recalibrated to support a considerably higher stated maximum win.
Developer and provider
Gates of Olympus 1000 is developed by Pragmatic Play, the same studio behind the original title and the wider "1000" remaster series applied across several of its most successful releases.
Theme and visual design
Visually, Gates of Olympus 1000 keeps the same Greek mythology setting as the original — the stormy mountain-top temple, lightning bolts, and golden coin multiplier symbols — with only minor presentational refinements distinguishing it on screen from the original version.
Gameplay
Gameplay follows the same scatter-pays tumble structure as the original: matching symbols landing anywhere on the 6x5 grid, regardless of adjacency, form a win once a minimum count is reached, triggering a tumble that can chain into further wins within the same spin.
Reels, paylines and ways to win
As with the original, Gates of Olympus 1000 uses scatter pays rather than fixed paylines or a ways-to-win system, applied across the same 6x5 grid dimensions. See our Paylines and Ways to Win guide for how this system works.
Symbols
The symbol set mirrors the original closely, including the golden multiplier coin symbols, now recalibrated with an expanded potential value range to support the higher stated maximum win of this version.
Wild and scatter mechanics
The scatter symbol continues to trigger free spins when enough land anywhere on the grid, and the golden multiplier coin symbols continue to accumulate their values into a running total during the free spins round, exactly as in the original game.
Bonus features
The free spins round works on the same underlying principle as the original — scatter-triggered, with golden multiplier coins accumulating toward a combined total applied at the end of the round. The key change in this version is the recalibrated multiplier value range, which supports a meaningfully higher theoretical ceiling for how large that combined total can become during a strong free spins session.
Free spins
As with the original, the free spins round can be retriggered by landing further scatter symbols during the feature, extending the number of remaining spins and the opportunity for additional multiplier coins to add to the running total.
Multipliers
The accumulating multiplier mechanic remains the defining feature of this version, just as in the original — the practical difference is a wider potential value range for individual multiplier coin symbols, directly supporting the higher stated maximum win of the "1000" edition.
RTP
Gates of Olympus 1000 has a published RTP of 96.50%, matching the original title's figure, according to Pragmatic Play's official game information. See our RTP Explained guide for what this figure represents.
Volatility
Gates of Olympus 1000's published maximum win of 15,000x the stake is substantially higher than the original's 5,000x, reflecting a meaningfully increased volatility rating consistent with the "1000" remaster pattern. See our Slot Volatility Explained guide for context on what this means.
Demo gameplay
Gates of Olympus 1000 is available in a free demo mode using virtual credits, running on the same mathematical model as real-money play, making it useful for comparing directly against the original title's pacing and feel. See our Demo vs Real Money Slots guide.
What makes this game distinctive
Gates of Olympus 1000 shows how a proven mythological theme and accumulating-multiplier mechanic can be recalibrated toward a more extreme mathematical profile without altering the underlying identity that made the original popular in the first place.
