Most sites covering this slot duplicate the same specifications. Certain figures are provided directly by Pragmatic Play, others fluctuate based on the version you're looking at, and some are just incorrect. This explains the Gates of Olympus 1000 RTP versions and max win for Australia: which figures the provider confirms, which ones change, and where reviews differ.
The basics everyone agrees on
Pragmatic Play created Gates of Olympus 1000 as a Greek-mythology slot featuring Zeus overseeing a 6×5 grid. Paylines aren't used here. You get a win when eight or more identical symbols appear anywhere. New symbols fall into place as winning ones vanish. The "1000" denotes the multiplier symbols, which can now reach up to 1,000×. High volatility is how reviews describe it.
What Pragmatic Play's own page confirms
The provider's official game page, which also hosts a demo, sets out these figures:
- Grid and wins: 6×5, with pay-anywhere wins from eight or more matching symbols.
- Multipliers: values from 2× to 1,000× can land on any reel during base-game spins and tumbles. At the end of the tumble sequence, the values are added together and applied to the win.
- Free spins: four or more Scatters in the base game award 15 free games. Three or more Scatters during the bonus add five more.
- Bonus buy: the free-spins round can be bought from the base game for 100× your bet.
- RTP: listed at 96.50%.
One figure is missing from that page: the maximum win. Reviews consistently give it as 15,000× the stake. That is very likely correct, since independent sources agree on it, but the provider's public page doesn't state it.
| Figure | Status |
|---|---|
| 6×5 grid, 8+ pay anywhere | Confirmed by provider |
| Multipliers 2×–1,000× | Confirmed by provider |
| 4 Scatters = 15 spins; 3 = +5 in bonus | Confirmed by provider |
| Bonus buy 100× | Confirmed by provider |
| RTP 96.50% | Listed by provider; may vary by version |
| Max win 15,000× | Reported by reviews; not on provider page |
| Stake range | Varies by version; no provider figure |
Where other pages get it wrong
The free-spins trigger
Often claimed: three or more Scatters trigger free spins.
What the provider says: four or more are needed in the base game.
Likely cause: three Scatters do matter, but only inside the bonus, where they retrigger five extra spins. That rule is easy to misapply to the opening trigger. Go by the four-Scatter rule.
The RTP
Often claimed: a single 96.50% figure that applies everywhere.
What the provider says: its public page lists 96.50% and nothing else. One review reports a bonus-buy RTP of 96.49%, a figure the provider page doesn't mention.
Likely cause: the buy feature has its own return, and the public page doesn't list other RTP builds. So 96.50% doesn't prove that every copy of the game runs at that setting. The game's own information panel shows the RTP for the version in front of you, so check there.
The stake range
Often claimed: a single fixed range.
What the sources show:
- one review mentions 0.20 to 240
- a Canadian review lists $0.20 to $20 at the single site it checked
- another review states $0.20 to $300 for its demo
Likely cause: each figure refers to a specific site setup or demo, and the provider doesn't publish a universal range. None of them indicate the limits you'd find elsewhere.
The release date
Often claimed: 14 December 2023.
What the provider shows: its game page has a date of 6 December 2023.
Likely cause: the date a page is published isn't always the same as the date of launch. Both sources point to December 2023, which is as precise as the evidence allows.
What this means in Australia
According to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), the Interactive Gambling Act makes it unlawful for gambling providers to provide online casinos to individuals in Australia. Online pokies and slot machines are listed as forbidden services on the federal government's interactive gambling page. For this reason, online slots like this one can't be legally offered to Australians for real money.
This is why this article gives no Australian stake cap. Because the service isn't allowed, regulator pages do not establish a limit for online slots. Caps from other countries or limits that apply to land-based pokies don't transfer.
You can use the provider's free demo to view the mechanics, such as the Scatter rules and the multipliers, without spending any money. If you gamble in any form, keep it within limits you've set in advance.
