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

Of the Pragmatic Play titles covered here, Gates of Olympus is the one built around multiplier orbs that are not tied to the winning cluster when they land, but then apply to all of that cluster in one go.

How the game pays is worth knowing before you stake anything on it.

Gates of Olympus RTP and volatility explained in context

The published RTP of 96.50% is a long-run average over millions of spins and not a rate that holds for a single evening.

Independent records document this title as selectable by operators between 96.50%, 95.51% and 94.50%, three configurations in total. Pragmatic publishes only the first.

High volatility is how Pragmatic Play characterises it, and that speaks to the shape of the results and not to their size.

How Gates of Olympus compares with its sibling games

In Gates of Olympus 1000 there is a separate listing, not a rebalanced version of this game. Besides adding a meter that accumulates multipliers across the whole sequence, it raises the multiplier ceiling from 500x to 1000x and publishes a maximum win of 15,000x, where this game publishes 5,000x. Same theme, different mathematics.

The way the Gates of Olympus feature round operates

Real payouts in this game come out of the feature round.

Landing eight or more symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid earns a payout without any line, and the winners are then taken off while new symbols fall into the space. The whole tumble sequence gets the summed value of all the multiplier orbs on screen, which arrive on a schedule of their own and are unattached to any cluster. For this reason a cascade with a modest look can finish at several hundred times the stake, and the next identical cascade will pay almost nothing.

For this title Pragmatic Play publishes a maximum win of 5000x, a ceiling for one round and not something to build a session plan on.

What the maximum win figure actually means

Relative to the stake, the largest possible result of a single round on Gates of Olympus is what the published 5000x ceiling describes. Think of it as a boundary and not an aim; it does not indicate how often any result occurs. A very high ceiling tells you little about the typical result, because the same game can hand back small amounts on almost every paying spin.

Volatility gives the ceiling its context, so read the two side by side. You get the shape of the game only from both together, since either one by itself is close to meaningless.
