Symbols tumble down the 6x5 grid of Gates of Olympus, a Pragmatic Play video slot set in Ancient Greece. Read on for the figures and bonus modes.
Symbols land on a 6x5 grid set in ancient Greece, with crowns, gems and chalices as the pay symbols. The game uses scatter pays: eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid win, and no paylines are needed. When a win forms, the winning symbols vanish, the rest drop down and new symbols fall in from above. That tumble repeats until no new win appears, so one spin can pay several times.
Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere start the Free Spins round with 15 spins. Three or more Scatter during that round add five spins, and the total multiplier is not reset. In the base game, Multiplier Orbs on a winning tumble step multiply that step's total. In Free Spins, each orb adds to a running total multiplier that applies to every win, tumble steps included.

Know what pays
After this, you will know how each spin moves from bet to payout.
The 6x5 reels wait until you set a stake between A$0.20 and A$125. The paytable uses A$0.50, while A$10 shows how the prizes grow with the stake.
Matching symbols on the 6x5 grid pay wherever they land, from eight upward. Winning symbols vanish, the rest fall, and new ones drop in until no win remains.
Orbs landing on a winning tumble step add their values, and that sum multiplies the step's total win. Scatter symbols count anywhere on the grid, so their position does not matter.
Four or more Scatters anywhere on the reels trigger 15 Free Spins. The Total Multiplier counter carries across all spins. Three or more Scatters add 5 more spins without resetting it.
The reels settle once no win remains, so set a budget and a stop point before the first spin. Stop at that limit, even during Free Spins.

Gates of Olympus bonus
At Joefortune Casino, every bonus rule is laid out in plain steps before you play.
Four or more Scatters anywhere start 15 free spins. A TOTAL MULTIPLIER counter carries across every spin, and each Multiplier Orb on a winning tumble step adds its random value. Every win, tumble steps included, is multiplied by the counter. Three or more Scatters retrigger 5 spins without resetting it.
Four Scatters landed15 free spins
8, 10 or 12+ matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid trigger a payout. Winning symbols disappear, the rest fall, and new ones drop in from above. It repeats until no win remains. Multiplier Orbs on a winning step are summed, and that sum multiplies the step's total win.
Placing a betWins in cash
Symbols land on the grid and the free spins may come on any spin, yet how often that happens is not known in advance. One session is random from its first spin to its last, whatever the RTP says. The RTP is an average taken over a very large number of spins, so it cannot predict what your own play will return.
Each spin on the 6x5 grid pays out under the RTP version the game runs, and that version is shown only in the game rules. Read that line before you start. The title alone does not tell you which version you are playing.
Tumbling wins, Multiplier Orbs and retriggered free spins can stack on the reels, but the top prize is a ceiling that very few spins reach. Treat it as the most the game can pay, not a target. A bigger bet raises the top win in money.
Practice mode
Worried that a practice session will quietly start charging your account?
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account with Joefortune Casino and you must be 18+.

Ready for Reels
Most players worry about how much the bonus costs and how risky the game is.
Buy Free Spins starts the 15-spin round at once for 100 times the bet. At the example top bet of A$10, the price is A$1,000. Buying skips the wait for four or more Scatter symbols.
Spins can start at A$0.20, the cheapest way to watch a round run. Winning symbols vanish and new ones drop in, so one spin can carry several wins. Multiplier Orbs can join the wins on the reels.
Gates of Olympus 1000 keeps the same RTP but raises the maximum win to 15,000 times the bet, against 5,000 times here. The POP version pays back a little more over time, at 97.05 RTP, while Super Scatter reaches 50,000 times the bet.
Gates of Olympus has high volatility, so results swing widely between small and large wins. High volatility means long gaps between big wins are part of the game. How often the bonus lands cannot be known before a session starts.
The RTP of this version is 96.50, so the game returns an average of A$96.50 for every A$100 staked over a very long run. Only the POP version is listed with a higher RTP, at 97.05.
Landing four or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid starts the 15-spin Free Spins round. Three or more Scatter symbols during the round add five more spins, and the TOTAL MULTIPLIER keeps its value.
