Review of Gates of Olympus Slot
In 2021, the high-volatility game called Gates of Olympus was released, focused on ancient Greek mythology. The storyline centers around the god Zeus, who dynamically appears next to the game reels during gameplay. The RTP of the slot is 96.5%. The max win is x5000 from the spin cost. Players can purchase the bonus round for x100 of the bet amount or double the chance of its occurrence by increasing the bet by 25%. The game has several sequels, including Gates of Olympus 1000, Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, and others.
The game reels are presented in a 6×5 format. Volatility is high. There are no traditional lines in the slot; instead, the win amount depends on the total number of identical symbols that appear in one spin. The bet amount ranges from 20 cents to 100 dollars. The game features ten symbols, including thematic symbols that yield wins and a bonus symbol that offers high payouts and triggers the free spins round. To win, at least eight identical symbols must appear.
The win amount depends on the number of symbols:
- Low wins: 8-9 symbols
- Medium wins: 10-11 symbols
- High wins: 12-30 symbols
The slot symbols can be broadly divided into two categories: diamonds (colored stones that yield medium wins) and various items from ancient Greece (crown, clock, ring, chalice). The scatter payout is x3, x5, or x100, depending on the number of symbols: four, five, and six, respectively.
To start spins, the spacebar on the keyboard can be used. To change the bet amount, press the plus or minus buttons located next to the spin button. The gear icon opens a small list of settings: quick spin, battery saver, background music, sound effects, and screensaver. For automatic play, you can choose from 10 to 1000 spins. This mode can be initiated in a fast form (quick spin) or a super-fast form (turbo spin).
Features
Thanks to the «Tumble» feature, winning combinations disappear from the reels, making way for new symbols that can also form payouts. Another feature allows players to influence the probability of landing scatters by increasing the bet by a quarter of the current amount. This way, the chance of receiving a bonus doubles.
The highlight of the design is the animated main character and lightning that appear during wins. Overall, the game is designed simply, allowing players to focus on the reels, which occupy the main space on the screen. A soothing melody plays in the background, becoming dynamic during the bonus feature.
Bonus Game and Special Symbols
To trigger the round of 15 free spins, at least 4 Scatter symbols featuring Zeus must appear. When 3 Scatter symbols or more appear during the bonus, an additional 5 spins are awarded. The bonus feature can be triggered by paying x100 of the current bet. The bonus cannot be purchased if the user has activated the double chance for free spins.
As in the main game, multipliers ranging from x2 to x500 can appear during free spins. At least one winning match is required for a multiplier to be applied to the current spin. Multiple multiplier symbols can appear within a single spin. During free spins, all multipliers that appear are summed and then applied to the current and subsequent wins.
