Gates of Olympus 1000 Demo & Review at JW8

Gates of Olympus 1000 is the beefed-up version of Pragmatic Play’s scatter-pays hit. Same Greek vibe and 6×5 grid, but multipliers can now go up to 1,000x and the max win is 15,000x your bet. If you want to try it for free or with real money, you can do both at JW8.

What’s Gates of Olympus 1000?

The original Gates of Olympus has been a lobby favourite for years. The 1000 edition keeps the same look and feel but doubles the multiplier range and triples the max win. It’s still a pay-anywhere slot: you need 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid. No paylines—just land enough of the same symbol and you’re in. Bets run from €0.20 to €100 (or €125 with the bonus bet on). If you’re into slot games in general, this one’s worth a look.

Theme and look

Nothing’s changed on the outside: ancient Greece, Zeus, clouds, and gems. Graphics and animations are solid, and the music fits. If you’ve played the first Gates of Olympus, you’ll feel right at home.

How it plays

Symbols pay anywhere. You’ve got five crystal colours (lows), then chalices, rings, hourglasses, and crowns (highs). When you hit a win, symbols disappear and new ones drop in—that’s the tumble. It can chain over and over on the same spin.

Symbol paytable

Payouts depend on how many matching symbols you land (8, 10, or 12+). Values below are per bet.

Symbol 8+ 10+ 12+
Blue Gem 0.25x 0.75x 2x
Green Gem 0.4x 0.9x 4x
Yellow Gem 0.5x 1x 5x
Purple Gem 0.8x 1.2x 8x
Red Gem 1x 1.5x 10x
Chalice 1.5x 2x 12x
Ring 2x 5x 15x
Hourglass 2.5x 10x 25x
Crown 10x 25x 50x

Multipliers

Multiplier symbols can land on any spin with values from 2x up to 1,000x. They stay in place until all tumbles are done, then their values are added together and applied to the total win for that spin.

Free spins

Scatters trigger the bonus and retrigger extra spins:

Scatters Free spins
4+ on a spin 15 free spins
3+ more during free spins +5 free spins

In free spins, multiplier values are collected. Each new multiplier that contributes to a win gets added to a running total, and that total multiplies your wins for the rest of the round.

That’s where the big numbers come from—multipliers stacking and applying to every win. You can also buy the feature (100x your bet) for a spin with at least 4 Scatters, or turn on the Ante Bet to double your chance of triggering free spins for a 25% higher stake. Plenty of promotions at JW8 can give you extra value when you play.
