Gates of Olympus 1000 on Stake: what changes from the original

What stays the same

Grid, symbols, tumbles, free spins trigger and the Ante Bet option. The look is close to the original. The difference is in the multiplier values and the swings.

What changes

The multiplier range goes higher, and the math behind it shifts. Expect more variance per session.

Before you play

Set a budget and a stop time. Read the paytable in the game. If you're new, start with how to play slots. More from Pragmatic Play is on our studio page.

Our verdict

Gates of Olympus 1000 is the original game with the ceiling raised. The grid, the scatter pays, the tumbles and the multiplier orbs are all the same. The difference is that orbs can carry much larger values, advertised up to 1000x, as the name suggests. Check the info panel for the figure on Stake. To make room for those rare big orbs, the more common results tend to be smaller, so the game swings harder. If you played the original and found it exciting rather than stressful, the 1000 version gives you more of that. If the original already stretched your budget, this one will stretch it further. The RTP, the max win and the Ante Bet cost are in the info panel. Compare them with the original before you choose.

Side by side

What a higher ceiling means in practice

A slot's average return is fixed by its RTP. If the game allows bigger multipliers at the top, the math has to take that value from somewhere, usually from more frequent mid-range results. So a session on the 1000 version tends to have fewer medium wins and a rarer chance at a huge one. Over a short session, that usually means a bigger loss or a bigger win than you'd see on the original.

The Ante Bet and buy

Like the original, the 1000 version offers an Ante Bet and a bonus buy where local rules allow. Read the cost of each in the game. They raise your spend per minute on a game that already swings hard.

Which one to pick

Pick the original for a slightly gentler version of the same game. Pick the 1000 version only if you've played the original, understand its swings, and want more. Our Gates of Olympus review explains the base rules. Sweet Bonanza 1000 makes the same change to the candy game.

Who it suits

Experienced players with a fixed budget who want the original's rules with bigger swings. Set a deposit limit before you start.

What to check in the info panel

Compare the RTP, max win and Ante Bet cost of both versions on Stake on the same day. If the 1000 version shows a much higher max win, expect a harsher session. Note the date of your check.

A session plan

Use a smaller bet than you'd use on the original, so your budget covers more spins on a game that swings harder. Set a loss limit and stop time. Don't move from the original to the 1000 version to make up a loss.

Who should skip it

Anyone new to the game, anyone on a small budget, and anyone who switched from the original after a loss. The 1000 version doesn't give you a better chance of winning back money. It gives you a wider spread of results, which makes a bad session worse more often than it makes it better.
