Pragmatic Play Launches Gates of Olympus 2500
Pragmatic Play has quietly built one of the most recognisable slot franchises in online casino history with its Gates of Olympus series, and the studio is not done yet. The developer has now released Gates of Olympus 2500, a follow-up that, according to a review by Bigwinboard, does more than simply repackage the original with a larger number in the title.
The game keeps its familiar look — clouds, columns, Zeus hurling lightning — but builds meaningfully on the mechanics that made the series a staple across UK casino lobbies. The core setup is a 6x5 grid where landing eight or more matching symbols triggers a win, with a tumble mechanic removing winners and dropping new symbols until no further combinations appear.
What’s New in Gates of Olympus 2500
The headline change is the expanded multiplier range. Multiplier symbols can now land on any reel with values between x2 and x2,500. At the end of each tumble sequence, all multiplier symbols on screen are added together and applied to the total win, pushing the maximum win potential to 25,000x the stake.
Four distinct free spins rounds add genuine variety to what has sometimes felt like a formulaic series. When free spins are triggered naturally by landing four or more scatter symbols, a wheel spins to randomly assign one of the four round types. Players collect scatter payouts of 3x, 5x, or 100x their bet depending on how many scatters land.
Five special bet options give players additional control before the bonus triggers. The three ante bet tiers cost 1.25x, 2.75x, and 5.5x the base stake respectively, each increasing the likelihood of hitting free spins, with the highest tier also guaranteeing access to the stronger round types. Two Super Spin options — costing 20x and 250x the stake — guarantee at least one multiplier symbol per spin, though free spins cannot be triggered from Super Spins.
For those who prefer not to wait, four feature buys are available, starting at 100x the stake for Free Spins 1 and rising to 1,250x for Super Free Spins 2. UK players should note that feature buys are typically restricted on Gambling Commission-licensed platforms, so availability will depend on your operator.
The RTP sits at 96.52%, fractionally above the original, with stakes running from £0.20 to £240 per spin. Volatility is rated as high.
