Gates of Olympus 1000 at Makispin Casino: how it plays and what it pays
Pragmatic Play's 6-reel, 5-row Ancient Greece game where tumbling wins chain together, multiplier orbs stack across free spins, and volatility means bigger but rarer payouts. RTP 96.50%.
A high-volatility Ancient Greek slot with tumbling wins
How tumbles create extra wins
Gates of Olympus 1000 is a 6-reel, 5-row slot from Pragmatic Play, released in December 2023, set in Ancient Greece and featuring gods, crowns and gemstones. The game uses ways to win with a 20x bet multiplier in base play. Its signature mechanic is Tumble: when you hit a winning combination, those symbols drop away and new ones cascade down to fill the gaps, potentially creating multiple winning sequences from one spin. Multiplier orbs land randomly during tumbles, with values ranging from 2x to 1000x, and these multiply your total win for that spin.
Who this slot suits best
This slot suits players who enjoy chasing bigger payouts despite less frequent wins, given its high volatility and 15,000x maximum multiplier. The game works well for you if you have a session budget that can absorb dry spells, since wins come less often but land much bigger. It's less suited to players hunting constant small wins or those who prefer to keep their bets small; even at the A$0.20 minimum, the slot's structure favours longer sessions or higher bet amounts to see the bonus round.
Multipliers stack across tumbles
Tumble is the engine that drives almost every winning round. After your initial spin, any winning combination triggers a tumble sequence: symbols vanish, new symbols fall from above, and if those new symbols form another win, the tumble continues. During each tumble that produces a win, any Multiplier orbs that land get added to a running total, which then multiplies your full tumble sequence's payout. This cascade can repeat many times in a single spin, and the multiplier keeps climbing with each winning tumble until the sequence ends.

Gates of Olympus 1000: from bet to payout
Picking your stake first
You choose a bet between A$0.20 and A$125 per spin. Most players start at A$1 or A$5. You can set the wager once and spin repeatedly, or adjust between spins.
8 symbols and you're paid
Symbols land on the 6-by-5 grid in ways to win, not paylines. You need 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid to form a paid combination. Each win pays based on your bet and the symbol value.
What tumbles do for your win
When you land a win, those symbols tumble away. New symbols drop from above to fill the gaps. If they make more wins, they tumble again with no limit per spin. Multiplier orbs land randomly during tumbles and add their values to boost your total.
Zeus Scatter unlocks free spins
Land 4 or more Zeus Scatter symbols anywhere to start 15 Free Spins. During these spins, every Multiplier orb you land stays and adds to a total that grows through the entire bonus round.
Before and after: keeping control
Before you spin, you can set loss limits or session time reminders through Makispin Casino. These help you stick to what you planned to spend or play.

Understand how multiplier orbs accumulate throughout free spins without resetting
When multiplier orbs keep adding up
15 free spins trigger when you land 4 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid. Your total multiplier accumulates across the entire round and never resets: each multiplier orb that lands on a winning spin adds its value permanently. Retrigger 3 or more Scatter again for 5 additional spins, with a 15000x maximum cap.
Between bonus rounds: how base wins build
Your 6x5 grid pays on ways to win with a 20x bet multiplier in base play. Winning symbols tumble away and new ones drop down to fill the spaces; this cascade continues with no limit per spin. Multiplier orbs land randomly during tumbles with values from 2x to 1000x, and their totals apply to your full tumble sequence. Buy Free Spins costs 100x your bet.
Your choice: pay more for more natural bonuses
Double Chance doubles how often Scatter symbols appear naturally on certain reels, increasing your natural free spins frequency. This mode runs as a 25x bet multiplier, which is 1.25 times your standard bet. While Double Chance is active, you cannot buy free spins. The RTP for this mode is 96.50 percent.
Gates of Olympus 1000 cannot tell you when the bonus arrives
When does the bonus round arrive?
No player can predict when the Free Spins round will trigger on any spin. The bonus comes randomly across sessions, and no pattern or timing tells you when to expect it.
Your session result remains random
One session result depends on chance, not on the 96.50% RTP. The RTP is what the slot returns across millions of spins over months or years, never what a single player will win in one sitting.
Gates of Olympus 1000's maximum is rare
Gates of Olympus 1000 can pay up to A$75,000 at A$5 per spin, but that maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. No review can say what you will actually win in your time playing.
Gates of Olympus 1000 returns 96.49 or 96.50 per 100 staked
RTP is the average return over an enormous number of spins, not what you will see in a few hours or days. Each RTP figure applies only to the exact condition written next to it: one applies when you buy the bonus, the other applies to the standard game.
