Gates of Olympus: your guide to Slotum Casino's game
Pragmatic Play's high-volatility grid slots rewards 8+ matching symbols anywhere. Free spins multiply your wins. RTP is 96.50%.
Ancient Greece on a 6x5 grid with tumbling wins
Gates of Olympus tumbles and cascades. Gates of Olympus takes you to Ancient Greece across a 6-reel, 5-row grid where winning symbols disappear and new ones drop down to fill the space. Pragmatic Play released this mythology-themed game in 2021 on a ways-to-win format: 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay out. The signature tumble mechanic means each win triggers a cascade, and any multiplier orbs landing during that cascade boost your payout for that step. High volatility means wins come less often and can be much bigger.
Who should play Gates of Olympus? This slot suits you if you have a larger bankroll and patience for longer dry spells between wins, since high volatility means swings are pronounced. You can start with a minimum bet of NZ$0.20 and work up to NZ$125, so you choose your stake. It's not for cautious players hunting frequent small payouts; the game rewards those who can ride the swings toward bigger multiplied wins that the cascading reels make possible.
Tumbles build your win on each spin. The tumble feature defines how each round unfolds: winning symbols vanish, the remaining ones fall down, and new symbols drop from the top. If those new symbols form another win, the tumble repeats. Multiplier orbs can land on any winning tumble step and stack their values together, multiplying that step's total win. This cascade loop is where most of the action concentrates, turning a single spin into a chain of potential payouts before the round ends.

How do free spins work in Gates of Olympus?
Trigger free spins and watch your multiplier climb. Four or more scatters anywhere on the reels trigger 15 free spins. A total multiplier counter persists across all spins: each multiplier orb landing on a winning tumble step adds its value to the counter. Every win gets multiplied by the current total. Three or more scatters retrigger five extra spins without resetting your multiplier.
Build your win through tumbling symbols. On the base game grid, eight or more matching symbols anywhere pay a prize. When symbols win, they disappear and remaining symbols fall down as new ones drop from above. This tumble repeats until no more wins form. Multiplier orbs landing during a winning tumble step sum together and multiply that step's total win.
