The basic gameplay is augmented by three features – tumble wins, free spins and multipliers. This is how they work:
Tumbles Follow Every Winning Spin
First of all, this is a tumble wins slot. That means, after any winning spin, winning symbols are removed from the reels and new ones drop in to replace them. If that creates another scatter win, so the process repeats. This continues, without limits, until a tumble occurs where no more wins are generated.
Powerful Multipliers Appear Randomly In All Game Phases
If you like your multiplier games, you’ll love Gates of Olympus 1000. In both base game and free spins round, multiplier symbols in green, blue, purple, red and diamond colors, can drop onto any position on the reels, heralded by a dramatic lightning bolt. They will display a multiplier of one of the following values: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x or 1,000x.
When a tumble sequence ends – i.e. there are no more wins – the value of all multiplier symbols that you can see on the reels are added together before being applied to the final payout.
15 Free Spins With Extra Progressive Multiplier
The free spins round just piles up the multipliers still further. You’ll need to land 4 of more of the scatter symbols displaying the Zeus-like god on them to trigger this phase.
You get 15 spins to start during which, whenever a multiplier lands on a winning spin, it is collected into a total multiplier pot. This total multiplier is applied to ALL wins THROUGHOUT the round and grows every time a win occurs where a multiplier is present.
And finally, you can trigger 5 more spins an unlimited number of times by landing 3 or more scatters once again.
AnteBet Increases Your Chances of Landing Further Wins
Like many Pragmatic Play slots, Gates of Olympus has an AnteBet feature. You can activate it by hitting the button to the left of the reels. In simple terms, adding 25% to your bet doubles your chances of hitting that free spins round by adding more scatters to the reels.
I would think carefully before using this feature. It can burn your balance fast. But as a facet of the game, it’s nice to have the option.
