Gates of Olympus review

Pays-anywhere slot with multiplier-symbol mechanics. RTP 96.50%, 5,000× max win, the most popular Pragmatic slot after Sweet Bonanza.

Gates of Olympus took Sweet Bonanza's tumbling-reel mechanic and added a multiplier-symbol stack that accumulates across the entire free-spin round. Released in 2021 by Pragmatic Play, it's the slot many crypto-casino players pick over Sweet Bonanza — the multiplier accumulator makes big wins more visible.

Verdict

Same 96.50% RTP as Sweet Bonanza but with cleaner round mechanics — multipliers accumulate across the bonus rather than landing randomly per tumble. If you find Sweet Bonanza's multiplier randomness frustrating, Gates of Olympus is the cleaner alternative.

Full review

The cumulative multiplier mechanic

Same grid as Sweet Bonanza — six reels, five rows, no paylines, pays anywhere on 8+ matching symbols.

Multiplier symbols (2×–500×) land randomly. In base game they apply only to that tumble's winnings. In free spins, they accumulate — every multiplier symbol that lands during the 15 spins adds to a running total applied to every win in the round.

Free spins trigger on 4+ scatters (Zeus). Three additional scatters retrigger five more spins; no cap on retriggers.

How it differs from Sweet Bonanza

Both are 96.50–96.48% RTP. The difference is multiplier behaviour: Sweet Bonanza's multipliers apply only to the chain they appear in; Gates of Olympus's accumulate across the entire bonus round.

Practical effect: Gates of Olympus produces more 'visible' big wins because the multiplier accumulator multiplies late-round wins against everything that came before.

The 5,000× ceiling

Maximum win caps at 5,000× — lower than Sweet Bonanza's 21,100×. Less dramatic headline but denser experience: the ceiling is reached more often. A 1,000× hit happens with reasonable frequency in the bonus round.
