About Game

Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 Overview

The 1000 in the title is a multiplier value. Orbs drop carrying anything from 2x to 1000x, and that ladder came straight from Gates of Olympus 1000, along with the 6×5 pay-anywhere grid, the 96.50% RTP, and the free spins round. The snow is new. Crowns dusted white, gems iced over, and Zeus in a Santa hat. Know the parent, and you know this slot, so treat the demo below as a seasonal repaint you can check for yourself.

Gates of Olympus X-Mas 1000 reels showing a $0.50 tumble win from eight blue gems
Eight blue gems anywhere on the 6×5 screen pay $0.50 at the $2.00 stake, with one Santa-hatted scatter on reel 4 and no orb in the sequence.

Gameplay Options

Multiplier Orbs

Orbs land at random in standard play and inside the round, and they only matter at the end. Once a tumble sequence ends, the game adds up all the orbs on the screen and multiplies that sequence’s win by the total. That addition makes the round cap reachable, and it’s why a screen full of baubles beats the crown’s top tier.

Free Spins and the Buy

Gates of Olympus X-Mas 1000 buy free spins confirmation dialog priced at $200.00
The Buy Free Spins prices the round at $200.00 with the total bet showing $2.00 underneath it, and four scatters are guaranteed on the triggering spin.

4 or more scatters anywhere start 15 free spins, and 3 or more during the round add 5 spins on top. You can buy the round for 100x your total bet, though switching the 25x Ante Bet on disables that button. In free play, hold the spacebar for turbo, and the tumbles resolve much quicker. Nothing else departs from the Gates of Olympus series, and Pragmatic Play gave Sweet Bonanza Xmas the same treatment.

Ultimate Slots Verdict

A faithful Christmas repaint of Gates of Olympus 1000 that changes the artwork and nothing else, so the reason to open it is the snow.

3.5/5 Very Good

✓ What We Like

  • The multiplier orbs are drawn as baubles, which is the one place the seasonal art does any work
  • Buy Free Spins is a single flat option with no pricing puzzle to work through first
  • Scatters pay on their own as well as starting the round, so a near trigger still returns something
  • Pay-anywhere scoring keeps a fast tumble chain readable, with no lines to trace

✗ What Could Be Better

  • Operator builds at 95.00% and 94.00% exist, so the demo uses the best of the 3 settings
  • Rule for rule, this is the parent game, with nothing new to learn and nothing new to find
  • No wild symbol anywhere, so a one-symbol miss stays a miss

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The 1000 is the highest value a single multiplier orb can take, and orb values add together before they multiply a tumble win. The game caps a round at 15,000x total bet, and the round ends the moment a win reaches it.
The artwork, and that is the whole list. Same grid, same scatter trigger, same buy price, same return, and the same orb ladder. Zeus just wears a hat, and the gems have snow on them.
