A 50,000x maximum win on a single scatter symbol combination. That’s not a cumulative target built over dozens of spins. That’s what happens when 4 Super Scatter symbols land alongside regular scatters in one trigger. The Gates of Olympus Super Scatter demo takes Pragmatic Play’s most iconic scatter pays slot and bolts on an entirely new payout layer that dwarfs both the original Gates of Olympus (5,000x cap) and Gates of Olympus 1000 (15,000x). Zeus is back on his cloud, the familiar 6×5 grid of gemstones and golden relics is intact, and the tumble-and-multiply core hasn’t changed. But the Super Scatter system means every bonus trigger now carries the possibility of an instant prize worth more than most free spins rounds will ever deliver on their own.
What’s Inside
Tumble Feature
Winning symbols disappear after every payout and new symbols drop in from above. Tumbles continue as long as new winning combinations form, with no limit on consecutive cascades. All wins from a tumble chain are totalled before moving to the next spin. The tumble system works identically in standard play and free spins.
Multiplier Symbols
Multiplier orbs appear on all reels during both standard play and free spins. Each one carries a random value of x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10, x12, x15, x20, x25, x50, x100, x250, or x500. When a tumble sequence ends, all multiplier values on the grid are added together and applied to the total win from that sequence. In standard play, these multipliers reset after each spin. During free spins, they accumulate into a running total that grows throughout the entire round.
Super Scatter
The defining addition to this version. Super Scatter symbols appear on all reels during standard play only. They count alongside regular scatters when triggering free spins, and the number of Super Scatters in the triggering combination determines a separate instant payout. One Super Scatter within a 4+ scatter combination pays 100x your bet. Two pays 500x. Three pays 5,000x. Four Super Scatters pays 50,000x, which is the game’s maximum win. These payouts are awarded on top of the standard scatter trigger payout and the free spins round itself. Super Scatters do not appear during the free spins round.
Free Spins
Landing 4 or more scatter symbols (regular or Super) triggers 15 free spins, plus a scatter payout of 3x (4 scatters), 5x (5 scatters), or 100x (6 scatters) your bet. During free spins, multiplier orbs work differently. Instead of resetting after each tumble sequence, their values are added to a running total multiplier that persists for the entire round. Every time a new multiplier lands on a winning spin, the total multiplier increases and applies to that win. Landing 3 or more scatters during the round awards 5 additional spins with no cap on retriggers.
Ante Bet
The Ante Bet increases your stake by 50% (a $2.00 bet becomes $3.00) and raises the chance of triggering free spins. More scatter and Super Scatter symbols appear on the reels with this active. Enabling the Ante Bet disables the Buy Free Spins option. The RTP with Ante Bet is 96.55%, slightly above the standard 96.50%.
Buy Free Spins
Two purchase options are available where jurisdictions permit. The standard buy costs 100x your bet and guarantees 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols on the triggering spin (96.50% RTP). The Super Free Spins buy costs 500x and sets the minimum multiplier orb value to x10 instead of x2 (96.49% RTP). Pragmatic Play also offers this game at alternative RTP configurations. Not all operators run the default 96.50%. Lower settings of 95.50% and 94.50% exist, so check the in-game rules screen to confirm which version you’re playing.
No Wild Symbols
Gates of Olympus Super Scatter does not include wilds. All wins come through the scatter pays system, multiplier orbs, and Super Scatter payouts.
How to Play
Gates of Olympus Super Scatter plays on a 6-reel, 5-row grid with no paylines. Matching 8 or more identical symbols anywhere on the grid triggers a payout, and tumbles continue the chain until no new wins form. Bets range from $0.20 to $360 per spin (jurisdiction dependent). With high volatility, wins feel less frequent during standard play than in some other scatter pays games, but the tumble chains and multiplier orbs create larger individual payouts when they land. The free spins round triggers from 4+ scatters and is the primary route to the game’s larger returns, though the Super Scatter system means the trigger moment itself can deliver massive instant prizes.

UltimateSlots Verdict
Gates of Olympus Super Scatter is the strongest entry in the Gates series. The 50,000x cap is a genuine leap over the original's 5,000x and the 1000 version's 15,000x, and the Super Scatter delivery system is an elegant solution. Rather than reworking the multiplier maths or adding complex new features, Pragmatic Play created a single high-impact moment at the point of bonus activation. The core tumble-and-multiply gameplay remains exactly what made the original a phenomenon, so existing fans lose nothing. The production quality is outstanding, the volatility feels honest, and the feature round has real weight to it. Where it stumbles is the same place every Gates sequel does: if you've played the original, most of your time here will feel identical.
✓ What We Like
- 50,000x max win from a single Super Scatter combination is the highest in the Gates series and creates a meaningful moment at every bonus trigger
- Multiplier orbs active in both standard play and free spins (x2 to x500), giving regular spins more potential than most scatter pays games
- The running total multiplier during free spins builds genuine tension as the round progresses
- Exceptional visual polish on every element, from the gemstone shadows to Zeus's animations during the bonus round
- Atmospheric soundtrack that shifts dramatically when the feature triggers, adding to the sense of occasion
- Ante Bet RTP of 96.55% is slightly higher than standard play, making it one of the few ante bets that doesn't penalise the return
✗ What Could Be Better
- Visually and structurally near-identical to the original Gates of Olympus and the 1000 version for the vast majority of spins
- Super Scatters only appear during standard play, so the biggest new feature is entirely absent from the bonus round itself
- Standard play between features can feel slow, with less frequent hits than some other scatter pays games
- The 500x Super Free Spins buy is a large commitment with no guarantee of meaningful multiplier accumulation
Detailed Review
Worth Playing? In Practice
The first thing you notice is the attention to detail. The celestial Olympus backdrop, the floating Zeus figure on the right side of the screen, the subtle reel animations, and the warm golden colour palette create an atmosphere that feels premium before you’ve even pressed spin. The soundtrack is calm but atmospheric, building a sense of suspense that most slots don’t bother with. Compared to the wave of rushed reskins in the scatter pays category, this feels like a game that was crafted rather than assembled.
Standard play hits felt less frequent than Sweet Bonanza 1000 or Sugar Rush 1000, which aligns with the high volatility rating. Dead spins are more noticeable here. But when tumble chains do connect, the multiplier orbs landing mid-sequence add real anticipation. Watching a x25 orb drop onto the grid during a 4-cascade tumble chain is the kind of moment that keeps you spinning. The multipliers working in standard play (not just free spins) is a meaningful differentiator from other games in this format.
The bonus trigger is where Gates of Olympus Super Scatter earns its name. The entire tone shifts. The music becomes more dramatic, Zeus raises his lightning bolts, and the visual energy ramps up immediately. The 15 free spins with a running total multiplier create a clear narrative arc as you watch the multiplier climb with each successful tumble. Our bought bonus round (100x at $2.00) returned $130 over 15 spins, which is a 65x result on a 100x buy-in. Not spectacular, but the round demonstrated how the multiplier accumulation works in practice.
The Super Scatter system didn’t trigger during our session, which is expected given the rarity. But its presence changes the psychology of every bonus activation. Every time you see scatters landing, you’re scanning for the golden Super Scatter symbol alongside them. Even when it doesn’t appear, the possibility adds weight to a moment that in the original Gates of Olympus was simply a transition into free spins.
Despite a below-cost bonus result, the overall session left a strong impression. The game’s biggest weakness is that it looks and plays almost identically to a slot released in 2021 for roughly 95% of the experience. But that remaining 5%, the Super Scatter trigger potential and the elevated max win, is enough to justify its existence. Players who bounced off the original because the 5,000x cap felt limiting will find real motivation to return here. Those who are tired of Gates of Olympus after years of play probably won’t find enough novelty to change their mind.
