Gates of Olympus 2500 – Overview
Pragmatic Play released a new online slot game called Gates of Olympus 2500. The original Gates of Olympus was released back in 2021 and quickly became one of Pragmatic Play’s most popular and recognizable slot games. Since then, Pragmatic Play has released more versions of the game, and now we have Gates of Olympus 2500.
The game uses a Scatter Pays mechanism and wins are created when 8 or more matching symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Winning symbols are removed from the reels and new symbols fall down into the empty positions, creating the possibility of additional wins during the same spin.
You will find a colorful Greek mythology theme in Gates of Olympus 2500. The game takes place on Mount Olympus, with Zeus watching over the reels and gemstones, crowns, lightning bolts and other mythology themed symbols on the reels.
The game uses 6 reels which are each 5 symbols high.
For symbols you will find low paying differently colored gemstones and high paying symbols based around Greek mythology. Zeus is the scatter symbol and can appear on all reels. There are no wilds. There are also Multiplier symbols, more on those below.
Gates of Olympus 2500 comes with a huge maximum payout of 25.000x the bet and is a high volatility slot game.
Features
Multiplier Symbols
Gates of Olympus 2500 uses Multiplier symbols during the base game and free spins features. When Multiplier symbols appear on the reels they come with a random multiplier of between 2x and 2.500x.
The Multiplier symbols don’t need to form a winning combination themselves. Instead, if you get a win during the spin, all Multiplier symbols that have landed are added together and the total multiplier is applied to the total win.
Free Spins Bonuses
4 or more scatter symbols will award 15 free spins.
Before the Free Spins Feature starts, a wheel determines which of four different Free Spins modes you will play.
The four different modes are:
- Free Spins 1 – Multiplier symbols that land during a winning spin are added to a meter on the left and any new win with new multiplier symbols, the total multiplier is also added.
- Free Spins 2 – All Multiplier symbols are collected, even if there is a win or not and the general multiplier on the left is always applied to any win, even of there are new multiplier symbols or not.
- Super Free Spins 1 – Works like Free Spins 1, but the Multiplier symbols have a minimum value of 10x.
- Super Free Spins 2 – Works like Free Spins 2, but the Multiplier symbols have a minimum value of 10x.
Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols during any of the free spins features will add 5 more free spins.
Bonus Buys
You are able to buy all 4 free spins features instantly. Free Spins 1 for 100x bet, Free Spins 2 for 250x bet, Super Free Spins 1 for 500x bet and Super Free Spins 2 for 1.250x bet.
Verdict
A lot of what players like about Gates of Olympus has stayed the same. The Scatter Pays, the tumbles and the random multipliers. Even though multiplier can now be much higher, up to 2.500x even.
What is different is Free Spins. You have the normal free spins, but now also Free Spins 2 and Super Free Spins 2. These now collect multipliers all the time and apply the general multiplier to all wins. Which makes a huge difference. On the base game, nothing was more frustrating getting a big win on a free spin and not getting a multiplier symbol, so not getting that big multiplier.
I know a lot of players will enjoy this game, especially if they already like the original Gates of Olympus. And obviously that 2.500x Multiplier and maximum payout of 25.000x bet, helps a lot.
