The numbers in the series have kept growing
Gates of Olympus is the series that represents Pragmatic Play. The original had a max win of 5,000x, and the 1000 version raised it to 15,000x. Since then it has branched out into Christmas, Dice, POP, and Super Scatter editions. “Gates of Olympus 2500,” released on September 28, raises the multiplier symbol cap to 2,500x, just as the name says.
| Games | RTP | Max win |
|---|---|---|
| Gates of Olympus | 96.50% | 5,000x |
| Gates of Olympus 1000 | 96.50% | 15,000x |
| Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 | 96.50% | 15,000x |
| Gates of Olympus POP | 97.05% | 25,000x |
| Gates of Olympus Super Scatter | 96.50% | 50,000x |
| Gates of Olympus 2500 | 96.52% | 25,000x |
The 25,000x max win is lower than the 50,000x of the Super Scatter version. Instead, this game’s focus is not the cap but the variety of its bonus. For the first time in the series, free spins are split into four modes.
Pragmatic Play described this game as making the legendary original even stronger. In practice, two areas were changed: the cap on multiplier symbols and the types of free spins. The rest of the original was left almost as it was. It reads as a design that lets series fans step in without feeling lost while clearly showing only what is new.
A timeline makes it clearer. The original came out in February 2021 and the 1000 version in December 2023. In 2024, the dice version and Xmas 1000 followed, and in April 2025 came the 50,000x Super Scatter. The POP version arrived at the end of August this year, and the 2500 followed a month later. That is eight titles in five and a half years.
The number 2500 is also a name Pragmatic Play attached to another flagship series this year. Sweet Bonanza 2500, released in April, was first to use the combination of a 2,500x multiplier cap and a 25,000x max win. The Gates series now follows the same formula. If you run the two games side by side, the way multiplier symbols drop on screen feels quite similar.
The core rules stay the same
A win comes when 8 to 12 or more of the same symbol land anywhere on the 6×5 screen, and tumbles follow as new symbols drop into the spots left by winning symbols. Multiplier symbols can drop on any tumble, and all multipliers that drop in the same spin are added together and applied to that spin’s total win. It is a formula that needs no explanation for anyone who has played the original.
The difference that the 2,500 figure makes is large, though. In the original, multiplier symbols topped out at 500x. With the cap raised fivefold, the range of results a single tumble chain can produce is just as much wider. Multiplier symbols also drop in the base game, so even ordinary spins outside the bonus can occasionally produce a big result.
One wheel spin sets the character of the bonus
Four or more scatters start 15 free spins. If three or more scatters land again during the bonus, 5 more spins are added. That much follows the series formula. What is new is the wheel in between: before the free spins begin, you spin it to decide which type of free spins you get.
In Free Spins 1, only the multipliers that dropped on a winning spin are added to the running total and applied to that win. In Free Spins 2, every multiplier that drops is added to the running total, and that total is applied to all later wins. Both modes also have a Super free spins version where the minimum multiplier rises to 10x. Regular 1, Regular 2, Super 1, Super 2: the wheel picks one of these four.
If Free Spins 2 lands, there is clearly much more room for the round to grow, because multipliers collected earlier keep attaching to every later win. If regular Free Spins 1 lands instead, the flow is similar to the original. Even the same bonus can have a very different expected size depending on the wheel result.
Super free spins start with a minimum multiplier of 10x. That means the disappointing moments from the original, when 2x or 3x multipliers dropped, are gone. Whether the wheel lands on Super is the biggest factor in the bonus’s overall expected value.
What changed on screen
When you open the demo, two buttons appear on the left first. The upper one is Bonus Buy with four options, and the lower one is Special Bets with three options. Considering the original had just one buy button and one ante switch, this game puts its choices up front from the very first screen.
Zeus still stands on the right, throwing lightning. The top banner carries the 25,000x max win text, and the multiplier symbols keep the original orb shape. The design is almost untouched, with only the numbers and menus changed. It is an approach chosen so longtime fans don’t feel out of place.
Compared with Gates of Olympus POP, which uses the same 25,000x cap, this game goes the opposite direction. POP strips out rules and raises RTP to 97.05%. The 2500 adds rules, and RTP is 96.52%. If you want a simple, fast game, pick POP; if you want a game with more choices, pick the 2500.
How often does it hit?
These are the hit frequencies published in the Pragmatic Play media pack. They are averages, so actual results can be far more uneven.
| Category | Average frequency |
|---|---|
| Base game wins | 1 in 3.58 spins |
| Free spin entry | 1 in 443.16 spins |
| 1,000x or more | 1 in 36,459 spins |
| 5,000x or more | 1 in 520,346 spins |
| 10,000x or more | 1 in 1,984,521 spins |
| Up to 25,000x | 1 in 13,477,089 spins |
The free spins threshold stands out. At about once every 443 spins, you wait nearly four times longer than in Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000, which triggers about once every 111 spins. That is why the volatility is rated high. In return, base game wins are fairly frequent, about once every 3.58 spins. Tumbles chain together and small wins come often, while the big results are concentrated in the bonus and multipliers.
Four bonus buy tiers
Bonus buy comes in four tiers: 100x, 250x, 500x and 1,250x of your bet. The tiers range from the regular buy that goes through the wheel to higher buys that go straight into Super free spins. There are also two separate Super Spins at 20x and 250x, and the ante bet comes in three tiers at 1.25x, 2.75x and 5.5x. It has the most options of any game in the series. Buy features may be restricted depending on your region.
Here is how the four buy tiers break down. The 100x is the basic buy: you spin a wheel and get one of the regular free spins. The higher you go, the closer you get to the Super side, and the 1,250x costs the most but starts from the best conditions. Being able to buy a bonus that arrives about once every 443 spins for 100x makes buying look much cheaper than waiting, at least on paper.
The ante bet also has three tiers. The 1.25x is a light option that slightly raises bonus chances, and the 2.75x and 5.5x tilt the game further toward its features. The 20x and 250x Super Spins cost more than regular spins, but multipliers drop more often and bigger. If you try each option one by one in the free demo, you quickly feel how differently the same game plays.
Multiplying the max bet of 240 by 25,000x gives 6 million, and the maximum payout limit in the media pack is also 6,000,000. Results above 10,000x come about once every 1.98 million spins. It is less disappointing to open the demo knowing this is a number you will hardly see even after spinning all day.
