Symbols land on a 6x5 grid in a game set in Ancient Greece and built on mythology. 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid make a win, so no paylines decide the result. After each win, the winning symbols vanish, the rest fall down and new symbols drop in from above. This tumble repeats until no new win appears, and every step of the tumble can pay.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start 15 Free Spins. Multiplier Orbs that land on a winning tumble step add their values together and multiply that step's win. During Free Spins, the TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter keeps building across spins and multiplies every win. Three or more Scatter symbols retrigger 5 more spins, and the counter is not reset.
Gates of Olympus guide
It settles how a round runs, from the bet you pick to the free spins.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$125 before the first spin. Every win in the base game and the free spins scales with that bet.
A win forms when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere on the 6x5 grid. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall down, and new symbols drop in until no win is left.
Multiplier Orbs on a winning tumble step add their values together, then multiply that step's win. Scatter symbols count anywhere on the grid.
Four or more Scatter symbols trigger 15 free spins. The TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter persists across every spin and grows with each orb on a winning step.
Decide the bet and the amount you can lose before the first spin. Every spin in the session then runs at that bet, until the balance is gone or you stop.
Inside the reels
Most readers first wonder what the grid looks like before they stake any money.
Before the free spins
You will have seen how each mode starts, runs and changes your wins before the first spin.
4+ Scatter anywhere on the reels trigger 15 spins on special reels with more Scatter. The TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter persists. Each orb on a winning tumble step adds its random value to it. Every win is multiplied by the current total. 3+ Scatter retrigger +5 spins without resetting it.
Base game15 free spins
8/10/12+ matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger a payout. Winning symbols disappear, the rest fall down, and new symbols drop from above. This repeats until no win is left. Multiplier Orbs on a winning tumble step have their values summed, and the sum multiplies that step's win.

A bonus buy costs 100 times the bet, so at a bet of A$1 the price is A$100 for the free spins.
| Bonus buy | Extra stake | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$100 | – |
Spins on the reels pay back a share of the stake, and the RTP gives that share per A$100 staked over time. The version run here is shown in the game rules.
| Version | RTP | Default? |
|---|---|---|
| Edition 1 | 96.50% | Yes |
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid start the Free Spins, yet no player can tell when the reels will deliver them. The bonus may arrive on the next spin or stay away for a long run. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP of 96.50 says about the long run. A session can end with no bonus at all.
Every spin on the 6x5 grid runs on one RTP version, and only the game rules state which version that is. The series contains versions with other RTP values, so the title alone does not settle it. Open the rules before the first spin to confirm the version this game runs.
Tumbles and Multiplier Orbs can build a large payout on a single round, but the top prize is 5,000 times the bet. That maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely, so it marks the limit of what the game can pay, not what a session should aim for.
