Gates of Olympus, 1000 and Super Scatter: how the versions differ
Pragmatic Play's Gates of Olympus has long been a series: the original was joined by the 1000 version and Super Scatter. Same grid, same Zeus, different maths. We compare them using the provider's game pages and the IPU.BET catalogue. This is a look at mechanics, not a strategy: every spin is random.

Gates of Olympus: the original
A 6x5 grid with no paylines: you are paid when eight or more matching symbols land anywhere on screen. Winning symbols disappear, new ones fall in, and the chain can go on. Random multipliers of up to 500x can land at any time, and in free spins their values add up. Four or more scatters award 15 free spins. Provider RTP is 96.50% and volatility is high: wins come less often but are bigger.
Gates of Olympus 1000: multipliers up to 1,000x
The mechanics are the same, but the ceiling is higher: each multiplier symbol takes a random value from 2x to 1,000x. The bonus is familiar too: 15 free spins for four or more scatters, and three scatters during the bonus add five more. According to the IPU.BET catalogue, the maximum win is 15,000x the bet. Some casinos offer a bonus buy for 100x the bet. It is an expensive way into the most volatile part of the game, and several countries ban it.

Gates of Olympus Super Scatter: a payout for Super Scatters
The main difference in this version is the Super Scatter symbol. It only counts when the bonus is triggered, and it pays on its own: one Super Scatter pays 100x the bet, two pay 500x, three 5,000x and four 50,000x. That is how the provider's 50,000x maximum win is reached. Multipliers go up to 500x, as in the original, and the bonus is the same: 15 free spins for four or more scatters. Four Super Scatters at once is a very rare event, so do not count on it.

The same RTP does not mean the same conditions
The provider lists 96.50% RTP for all three versions. But providers often release one game in several RTP variants, and the casino chooses which one to run. We explained how to check the version at a given casino in why the RTP of one slot differs between casinos. IPU.BET game pages also show "online RTP" for the last 24 hours: real statistics for a short window, not a forecast for your session.
Which version to choose
- The original, if you want the classic of the series with multipliers up to 500x.
- The 1000 version, if you are ready for even sharper swings in exchange for higher multipliers.
- Super Scatter, if you like the extra payout when the bonus triggers. Remember that the top payout needs a very rare combination.
All three versions are highly volatile. Set a session budget in advance and do not chase losses.
