Gates of Olympus Super Scatter Slot Review

Gates of Olympus is a sequel of Gates of Olympus and Gates of Olympus 1000 slots by Pragmatic Play. I tried it out and feel ready to comment on its gameplay, theme, mechanics, and more.

Theme

The video slot builds on the earlier Greek mythology theme centering around Zeus, the king of all gods, who ruled from his home on Mount Olympus. It’s easy to feel transported back in time, surrounded by the mythical universe.

 

The theme of Gates of Olympus Super Scatter is also reflected in symbols, like rings, goblets, crowns, and gemstones. Zeus’s figure is beautifully made, similar to the original slot, with fiery eyes and golden shields. A vibe of power and triumph emanates from the grid and the layout in this game.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

With regards to visuals and sounds, I found it to be really identical to the original game. The music is literally the same as the earlier Gates of Olympus slot and graphics are not as impressive as the original title. I will call it the ‘teen version’ of Zeus. Although sharp, the graphics are less polished than the original Gates of Olympus.

 

Animations too are not unique. They are almost the same as the game’s predecessor. It seems like, except for the mechanics, Pragmatic Play didn’t give a thought to developing distinct music, visuals, and animations. If you’ve played Gates of Olympus at top new casino sites, you will definitely think that this slot is a carbon copy of it at first glance.

RTP, Payout and Volatility

The RTP of the base game is 96.50%. When using ante bet feature, it becomes 96.55%. If you buy super free spins, it reduces slightly to 96.49%. This game is highly volatile. While playing, I found that the volatility and return vary dramatically. Even during the bonus rounds, dead spins and weak returns were common.

 

Pragmatic Play’s Gates of Olympus Super Scatter has a maximum payout of 50,000x your bet. It’s a handsome amount and much higher than the earlier Gates of Olympus slots, which is 5,000x.

Gameplay

Before starting Gates of Olympus Super Scatter or any other free to play games, remind yourself that you are playing them solely for entertainment.

 

This super scatters slot begins on a 6×5 grid. Choose your bet and hit the spin button. A win occurs when you land 8 or more of the same types of symbols anywhere on the reels. The scatter pays mechanic activates the cascading wins mechanic. The winning symbols vanish, and new symbols fall down to fill up their positions.

 

Payouts associated with different symbols should be kept in mind. In this slot, lower-paying symbols are gemstones in varied colors, and higher-paying ones are images of rings, hourglasses, crowns, and the like.

Features

The mechanics in Gates of Olympus Super Scatter are not very different from similar Greek mythology-themed Gates of Olympus series, like Gates of Olympus 1000 and the original Gates of Olympus. The big difference comes from the multiplier and super scatter features. To test these features, play Gates of Olympus Super Scatter in demo mode first.

 

Tumble or Cascading Wins Mechanic 

 

The tumble feature in the Gates of Olympus Super Scatter slot remains intact, similar to other Olympus slots. The symbols that are involved in a win are removed from the reels and replaced with new icons.

 

This mechanic unfolds whenever there is a new win. It implies that you can have various wins from a single spin.

 

Win Multiplier

 

The cascading mechanic continues until there are no new wins. When a sequence ends, the multiplier value applies. The multiplier symbols come with gold wings overlays on green, blue, purple, or red backgrounds. The color depends on their value.

Each symbol has a multiplier of:

• X2
• X3
• X4
• X5
• X6
• X8
• X10
• X12
• X15
• X20
• X25
• X50
• X100
• X250
• X500

The values of all multiplier icons are summed up when the cascading sequence ends.

 

Super Scatter Mechanic

 

The Super Scatter system is the defining mechanic of this online slot, which significantly raises win potential. At least 1 to 4 super scatters and at least 4 scatters are required to get your hands on this feature. Here are the available payouts:

• 1 Super Scatter = 100x
• 2 Super Scatters = 50x
• 3 Super Scatters = 5000x
• 4 Super Scatters = Max win (50,000x)

The maximum win of 50,000x is a major upgrade from the original Gates of Olympus slot.

 

Free Spins Bonus

 

Four, five, or six scatters activate the free spins round. It starts with bonus spins, while three or more scatters during the bonus round add five more free spins. A new set of reels is used during the minigame during the free spins feature. It has more regular and frequent payouts and multiplier symbols.

 

Buy Free Spins

 

To benefit from the bonus game, choose the buy free spins option. Here, you have a choice between these alternatives:

• 100X = The free spins feature will be activated when 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols are randomly landed. At 96.50%, the RTP stays the same.
• 500X = The super free spins feature will be activated when 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols are randomly landed. During this super bonus game, the lowest value that multiplier symbols can land with is 10X. At 96.49%, the RTP slightly declines.

This super bonus buy feature guarantees a minimum 10x win, but I had multiple low-return experiences, such as $29 from $500 buy-in.
