Gates of Olympus at VegasNow: three editions explained

Gates of Olympus at VegasNow: the short version

Every line in this table comes from Pragmatic Play's own game pages or from our published bonus and loyalty terms.

Two gaps are deliberate. Pragmatic Play states no volatility for any of the three and nothing we can quote for Gates of Olympus 1000. Those details sit in each game's info panel, and we would rather leave a blank than borrow a figure from another edition.

Which Gates of Olympus is which in the VegasNow lobby

Type Gates of Olympus into the search bar of our pokies lobby and the three editions appear side by side. Searching Pragmatic Play brings up the studio's wider range. Once you have chosen an edition, add it to Saved games so the right one is waiting next time.

All three tiles share the same Zeus artwork, so tapping the wrong one is easy. The title on the loading screen is the one whose rules count. Figures that belong to the original, such as its RTP or its 15-spin feature, do not transfer to the other two, and no published figure explains the 1000 in that edition's name. Our pokies overview explains why edition matching matters, and the Book of Ra page shows the same issue with three Novomatic titles that share one name.

How a spin of the original Gates of Olympus plays out

The original game uses six reels and has no paylines at all. Rather than tracing lines from left to right, it counts how many of each symbol are showing. Eight of a kind anywhere on screen makes a win, and the pay table rises with the count, up to thirty of a kind. Position does not matter: eight symbols spread over all six reels pay exactly what eight bunched together would.

Tumbles: several wins from one stake

When a win lands, its symbols disappear and fresh ones drop from above into the empty spaces. If the refill creates another qualifying group, that group pays and clears too, and the cycle continues until a refill produces nothing new. No extra stake is taken for a tumble, and for the same reason a tumble adds nothing to your wagering total; only the paid spin that began the sequence counts.

Multiplier symbols

Some symbols carry a multiplier value, which can be as high as 500×. When more than one is showing, the game adds their values and applies the total to the win, as the next section works through in dollars. Nothing on the reels signals that a large one is close.

Fifteen free spins

Four or more scatter symbols trigger 15 free spins. The stake on the triggering spin pays for the whole feature, so the free spins take nothing further from your balance. The provider does not say how often the feature arrives, so we do not estimate it.

VegasNow worked examples: multipliers and the 96.50% RTP

Because the values are added rather than multiplied, totals grow more gently than many players expect. These values are illustrations; the game decides what actually lands.

• Two symbols: 5× and 25× make 30×, so an A$3 win becomes A$90.
• Three symbols: 2×, 10× and 100× make 112×, so an A$0.50 win becomes A$56. Multiplied together the same three would give 2,000×, which is not how the game counts.
• One symbol at the top value: a single 500× on an A$1.20 win returns A$600.

Pragmatic Play gives the original edition an RTP of 96.50%. In money terms that is an average of A$96.50 back for every A$100 staked, measured over a vast number of spins, with the remaining A$3.50 as the theoretical margin. Two hundred spins at A$1 is A$200 staked; the RTP points to A$193 as the long-run average for that amount, yet a real session of that length can land far above or far below it, and both results fit the same published figure. A long stretch without a multiplier does not make one more likely on the next spin.

Gates of Olympus Super Scatter: the four fixed awards

The Super Scatter edition keeps the tumbling grid and the multiplier symbols of up to 500×, then adds a Super Scatter symbol with fixed prizes. When the feature is in play, how many Super Scatters are showing sets the award as a multiple of your stake. Pragmatic Play lists 50,000× as this edition's maximum win, so four Super Scatters are the top of the ladder rather than a step toward something larger.

The dollar columns are plain multiplication. They do not say how often any award appears, which the provider does not publish, and four Super Scatters is the rarest result in the game.

The last column matters when a bonus is running. Each offer lets you cash out at most A$5,000 of bonus winnings, and within the A$8 bet limit one or two Super Scatters cannot reach that figure on their own, while three can from a stake of A$1. Past the cap, a larger number on screen does not raise what that offer pays out. Real-money play with no bonus removes the bonus cap, but payment limits remain: bank wire withdrawals run from A$300 to A$6,000 and MiFinity from A$30 to A$4,000, the account carries day, week and month caps, and we may split a large payout into instalments. Our withdrawals page lists each method.

How Gates of Olympus counts toward the VegasNow welcome package

All three editions are slots, and under the general bonus terms of 26 February 2024 slots count 100% toward wagering, apart from any titles the terms name as exceptions. For comparison, a dollar on roulette counts as 25 cents, a dollar on blackjack or a game show as 10 cents, and a dollar on baccarat as nothing, which is why a pokie moves a requirement along fastest.

The table applies the 40× rule to each stage of the package at its full size: the deposit that unlocks the whole bonus, the wagering that follows, and how many A$8 spins on Gates of Olympus that wagering represents.

The four stages total A$8,000 and 500 free spins. Each offer needs at least A$20, though card and MiFinity deposits start at A$30. The 40× rule also covers free-spin winnings, wagering runs on a 7-day clock, and the spins unlock after the deposit itself has been staked once. Bonus winnings can be cashed out up to A$5,000 per offer, welcome free-spin wins stop at A$300, a second bonus cannot run alongside the first, and the package works in the casino and live casino, not the sportsbook. You can decline a bonus if the numbers do not suit you; the welcome bonus page has every stage.

Worked example: an A$80 first deposit cleared on Gates of Olympus

Tumbling sequences do not shorten any of this: a sequence of five wins still counts as one A$1 spin toward the A$4,800. The VEGAS2 offer waits until this bonus is cleared or expires. These figures are the arithmetic of the terms, not a prediction of whether the A$200 lasts that long.

The A$8 bet limit on Gates of Olympus while a bonus runs

Whenever a bonus is active on your VegasNow account, the largest stake allowed is A$8 per spin. The rule follows the bonus rather than the offer type, so it covers the welcome stages, reloads from our weekly promotions and bonuses bought with loyalty points alike.

A long tumbling sequence or a big multiplier total can turn a modest stake into a sizeable win, and the instinct afterwards is to raise the bet. With a bonus running, that adds nothing you can keep. At A$8, a total win of 625× the stake already equals the A$5,000 cap, because 5,000 divided by 8 is 625. At A$2 the cap corresponds to 2,500×. Betting above it while a bonus is active breaches the bonus terms.

Earning VegasNow loyalty points on Gates of Olympus

Our loyalty programme turns real-money play into points across seven levels named after Las Vegas venues. Slots, which include every Gates of Olympus edition, earn at the fastest published rate: each A$25 staked brings one redeemable point plus one status point. Roulette pays one point per A$100, while blackjack and baccarat pay one per A$250.

Redeemable points are spent in the Loyalty Store. Golden Glimmer members can swap 200 points for an A$5 bonus, or hold out for 2,000 points and take A$60. Rates improve further up: Parisian Palace Las Vegas members get A$20 for 750 points, and Bella Vista members A$5,000 for 100,000. Every store bonus carries 40× wagering, so the A$5 bonus means A$200 of qualifying stakes, or 100 spins at A$2 on Gates of Olympus.

Status points set your level. Because points follow turnover rather than results, a losing session earns as many as a winning one of the same size; treat them as a by-product of play, never a reason for more of it. Entry to the Sin City VIP Lounge is by selection, and our VIP page explains both systems.

Gates of Olympus on your phone at VegasNow

VegasNow runs in your phone's browser, so Gates of Olympus needs no download. Neither the App Store nor Google Play carries a VegasNow app, we do not distribute an APK, and any file offered under our name is not from us. For one-tap access, save the site as a Home Screen icon:

• iPhone: open the site in Safari, press Share, pick Add to Home Screen and, where offered, keep Open as Web App on.
• Android: open it in Chrome, press More and pick Install or create a shortcut.

You sign in through the same login screen as on a computer, your balance and any active bonus come with you, and the A$8 limit applies to mobile stakes in the same way. Our mobile page covers both routes step by step.

Common Gates of Olympus mistakes, and a pre-spin checklist

• Quoting 96.50% for every edition. That RTP belongs to the original only.
• Multiplying the multipliers. Values are added, so 2×, 10× and 100× make 112×, not 2,000×.
• Counting tumbles as spins. A sequence of wins comes from one paid spin and counts once toward wagering.
• Raising the stake after a big hit. With a bonus active the limit stays at A$8 until the bonus is no longer active.
• Reading the Super Scatter table as a forecast. The provider publishes the awards, not how often they occur.
• Expecting bonus winnings above A$5,000. The per-offer cap decides what can be cashed out.
• Depositing for the next stage too early. The following offer waits while a bonus is still active.

Before your first spin

1. Confirm the edition name on the loading screen.
2. Open the info panel and read that edition's rules.
3. Check whether the title is on the bonus exceptions list.
4. If a bonus is active, set the stake at A$8 or less.
5. Put a deposit limit on your account if you have not already.

Playing Gates of Olympus responsibly at VegasNow

Gates of Olympus is a game of chance, and each spin is settled on its own. A tumbling sequence that stops early, or a long run with no multiplier, says nothing about what comes next, and raising the stake to win back losses only increases what is at risk. Decide your budget before you start and put a deposit limit on the account; self-exclusion sits in the same menu if play stops being enjoyable.
