Arriving at the lobby with a modest balance

On the reels, the 6x5 grid pays by counting matches, not lines. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid trigger a win, whatever their position. The theme is Ancient Greece and Mythology. Each win removes its symbols with the Tumble mechanic: the winning symbols disappear, the rest fall down, and new symbols drop in until no win is left.

Multiplier Orbs on a winning tumble step add up and multiply that step's win. Four or more Scatter symbols start 15 free spins. In those spins a TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter keeps its value throughout, grows with each orb that lands on a win, and multiplies every win. Three or more Scatter symbols add 5 spins without resetting the counter.

Buying the bonus puts you straight into the free spins for a multiple of the bet, with the money shown in the table.

Which RTP Vegasnow runs

Every spin on the reels counts towards RTP the share paid back per stake. Per A$100 staked, one session can land above or below that average. The game rules show the version Vegasnow runs.

Bonus rules

What changes once the free spins begin?

Read this and you will have traced a round from the base game to the free spins.

Free spins with a growing multiplier

4+ Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger 15 free spins. Orbs on a winning tumble step add random values to a TOTAL MULTIPLIER. Every win, each tumble step included, is multiplied by the current total. 3+ Scatter retrigger +5 FS, and the total is not reset.

Base Game spins15 free spins

Watch the first tumble

8/10/12+ matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger a payout. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall down, and new ones drop in until no win is left. Orbs landing on a winning tumble step have their values summed, and that sum multiplies the step's win.

What does a round look like?

Vegasnow shows every step of a round in plain terms, so you know what each spin does.

  1. A$0.20 to A$125 range

    The reels spin at the bet you pick, from A$0.20 up to A$125. Each symbol pays in proportion to that amount, so a bigger bet raises every win.

  2. Vanish, then drop in

    Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay out, then vanish. The rest fall down and new symbols drop in, repeating until no win is left.

  3. When a tumble step pays

    Orbs landing on a winning tumble step multiply that step. All orb values there are summed, and the sum multiplies the step's total win.

  4. Land four Scatter symbols

    Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere trigger 15 Free Spins on special reels with more Scatter symbols. Three or more Scatter symbols during those spins add 5 more.

  5. Stop before one more spin

    Each spin of the reels costs the bet you set, so fix a loss limit before the first spin. Stop at that limit, not after one more spin.

Your first session starts from zero

Each spin on the 6x5 grid lands new symbols, and nothing on the reels shows when the bonus round will come. How often it appears is not known in advance. One session can reach it early or never. The result of a session is random whatever the RTP, because the RTP is an average over a long run of spins, not a promise for the next session.

The reels pay out on the RTP setting of the version in play, and that setting decides the long-run payback. Which RTP version is running here is shown only in the game rules, so check those before you start playing.

A top win on the reels can reach 5,000 times the stake, and that figure is a ceiling, not a target. Hitting it is very rare, and nothing in the first spins shows whether this session will get there.

Common questions

What to know before the first spin?

The worry most players bring is how much can be won and what the bonus costs.

What is the maximum win on Gates of Olympus in A$?

The top payout in Gates of Olympus is 5,000 times the bet. With the A$2 example bet, that is A$10,000, and at the highest bet allowed here, A$125, it is A$625,000. No one can predict when a top win lands.

Can you buy the free spins on Gates of Olympus?

Buy Free Spins is listed for this slot at 100 times the bet. The purchase costs A$200 at the A$2 example bet, and the same multiple applies at every bet size.

Can I play Gates of Olympus at a low stake first?

Gates of Olympus can be played from A$0.20 a spin, the lowest bet listed for the game. The paytable on this page uses A$0.20 as its bet, so every payout can be read in money at that stake before a higher bet is chosen.

What is the RTP of Gates of Olympus and its versions?

This slot has an RTP of 96.50 percent. Over a long run, that means an average return of A$96.50 for every A$100 staked. A single session can finish well above or well below that average, and no one can predict which.

How do I trigger the free spins on Gates of Olympus?

Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid trigger 15 free spins. During the free spins, special reels show more Scatter symbols, and three or more Scatters add 5 more spins without resetting the total multiplier.
