Gates of Olympus POP Slot Review

I can still recall that Angry Birds phase. But unlike the rest of y’all who were flinging birds 🐦 at pigs, I was dating em! Dude, when did these birds get so pissed off? Everything I did was always wrong.

Not that much has changed in recent times. The babes still hate me and I still get jettisoned to the curb more often than not, but at least I have my dignity. Oh wait… 🙄

Gates of Olympus POP slot from Pragmatic Play POP is geared towards you lot who are glued to your phones like your lives depend on it. Me, I use the damn thing only to call a divorce lawyer 🧑‍⚖️ or block a bill collector.

Gameplay

So, weirdly, most of the Olympus or Zeus-themed games have the god of thunder as a pissed-off graybeard. In this version, he looks like he's been gobbling Ritalin by the handful. And maybe I have too, coz everything looks cute and pink and fluffy.

This is a phone-first game. The reels stand up in a tall, narrow strip built to fill a handset top to bottom, and everything outside that strip is wallpaper.

The grid runs 3x5 and it works on a Pays Anywhere system, so 5 or more of a kind on the screen form a win. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.56% and volatility is low. The max multiplier is 25,000x, which can turn into a max win of $350,000. No Japanese yen, please.

The hit rate is 1 in 3.47, so a win turns up roughly every 3.5 spins. You're rarely left alone on this grid, which is exactly what a low rating is supposed to get you.

Three fixed jackpots ride a banner above the grid: Spark (50x), Snap (500x), and Burst (25,000x).

At the top of the paytable, the gold Crown symbol with its green stones pays 10x at 5 or 6, 25x at 7 or 8, and 50x once 9 or more land.

The blue-sand Hourglass pays 2x, 8x and 20x across those same counts, and the laurel-banded Ring with its red stone offers 1x, 2x and 10x, respectively.

Underneath sit 3 bare-cut stones. The Red Gem symbol pays 0.6x, 1.5x and 6x across those same counts, the Purple Gem 0.4x, 1x and 4x, and the Yellow Gem 0.2x, 0.8x and 2x, respectively.

The settings menu is worth opening before you start, especially on a phone. A battery saver toggle buys you more screen time out of one charge. There's also a switch for the slots and promotion pop-ups, so you can shut the marketing off.

Features

CASCADES:

You know how this works: every win clears itself off the screen. The symbols that paid vanish, whatever's left falls to the bottom, and new ones drop in from above to fill the gaps.

That repeats until a drop finally pays nothing, with no limit on how many times it can go, and nothing reaches your balance until the whole run has finished.

Multiplier symbols drop in as gold-winged orbs, plus a rainbow one set in a laurel frame, and they stick to the screen until the run ends. Each takes a random value from 2x up to 1,000x.

When the run stops, every Multiplier value on the screen gets added together and the whole sequence total is multiplied by that figure.

FREE SPINS:

Zeus is the Scatter symbol, framed in gold and turning up on every reel. The POP symbol lands anywhere too, puffed up in glossy rainbow with a small crown on top.

Land 3 of those in any mix and 15 Free Spins start. If 2 or more Scatters turn up inside the round, 5 more get added on.

The same landing settles the jackpots. One POP among the 3 pays the Spark, 2 POP pays the Snap, and all 3 arriving as POP pays the Burst jackpot.

The Free Spins frequency is 1 in 221.58, but there’s no shortcut to getting into this feature.

Inside the round, the Multiplier symbols stop resetting. Each value that lands on a winning spin joins a running total, and that total multiplies the win every time a fresh Multiplier symbol turns up.

Performance

This game's performance helped keep the vibe chilled, happy, and upbeat because nothing went bang.

Maximum Win

The max multiplier is 25,000x, and at the top bet of $14 that comes to a max win of $350,000. The smallest bet you can place is $0.10.

Conclusion

The slot's money comes from the running multiplier total inside Free Spins, where values from 2x to 1,000x pile up and stay piled up instead of clearing between spins.

The current game is different from its predecessor, Gates of Olympus 1000 slot, in some ways. For starters, Zeus isn’t angry like he was before, but more importantly, the multiplier has gone from 15,000x to the current 25,000x.

The max win had a slight boost of $330,000 to $350,000, and the older game’s volatility was high, so $350k off a low swing is pretty rare. PS: The max win probability is 1 in 54,347,826.
