Gates of Olympus Super Scatter Slot Review
Zeus striding out of pink-gold clouds on his pale stone stairway is one of the most recognisable sights in online slots, and this time the old god is holding a bigger prize. Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, the newest build from Pragmatic Play, makes its claim in the base game rather than the bonus: the new Super Scatter can pay the full cap before free spins even begin, which no other build on this mountain can do.
Underneath that sits a familiar chassis: a 96.50% RTP, medium volatility and a 6×5 scatter-pays grid, the same bones as Gates of Olympus 1000 and the original Gates of Olympus, but with ten times the win cap of Gates of Olympus Dice. The gates are familiar. What walks through them is new.
Symbols Pay Anywhere
There are no paylines. Eight or more of the same symbol anywhere on the 6×5 grid wins, and every value below is a multiple of the total bet.
- Crown: 10x for 8-9, 25x for 10-11, 50x for 12 or more
- Chalice: 2.5x for 8-9, 10x for 10-11, 25x for 12 or more
- Ring: 2x for 8-9, 5x for 10-11, 15x for 12 or more
- Amphora (blue): 1.5x for 8-9, 2x for 10-11, 12x for 12 or more
- Pentagon (red): 1x for 8-9, 1.5x for 10-11, 10x for 12 or more
- Triangle (purple): 0.8x for 8-9, 1.2x for 10-11, 8x for 12 or more
- Hexagon (yellow): 0.5x for 8-9, 1x for 10-11, 5x for 12 or more
- Triangle (green): 0.4x for 8-9, 0.9x for 10-11, 4x for 12 or more
- Diamond (blue): 0.25x for 8-9, 0.75x for 10-11, 2x for 12 or more
- Scatter: 3x for four, 5x for five, 100x for six
The scatter is present on all reels and pays on any position. Four of them anywhere trigger the free spins round, and the scatter pays listed above are awarded on top of the trigger.
Wins with multiple symbols in the same spin are added together, and all wins are multiplied by the base bet. Stakes run from 0.20 to 240 per spin.
Tumble Feature and Multiplier Symbols
After every winning spin, the winning symbols disappear and everything left falls to the bottom of the screen. New symbols drop in from above, and tumbling continues for as long as new wins keep forming. There’s no limit to the chain.
All wins from a tumble sequence are added to the balance once the sequence finishes. That matters, because of what can land while it runs.
Multiplier Symbols
Multiplier symbols can hit at random during spins and tumbles, in the base game and in free spins. Each one takes a value from 2x up to 500x, stepping through 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x and 500x.
When the tumble sequence ends, the values of all multiplier symbols on screen are added together and the total win of the sequence is multiplied by that sum. A single 500x on a modest chain transforms it; three or four of them together are where the big base game results come from.
The Super Scatter
This is the new symbol, and it’s the reason the game carries its name. The Super Scatter can appear on all reels, and combinations of four or more scatter symbols of either kind trigger the free spins feature.
The Super Scatter also pays on the spot. Any four-plus scatter combination that includes at least one of them awards an instant prize, before the free spins even begin:
- One Super Scatter in a four-plus scatter combination pays 100x the base bet
- Two Super Scatters pay 500x the base bet
- Three Super Scatters pay 5,000x the base bet
- Four Super Scatters pay 50,000x the base bet
Those prizes are paid outright, not rolled into the bonus round. The Super Scatter doesn’t appear during free spins, so its work is done at the door.
Free Spins
Four or more scatter symbols anywhere on screen award 15 free spins, played on special reels. The core difference from the base game is what happens to the multipliers.
During the round, whenever a multiplier symbol hits and the spin results in a win, its value is added to a running total for the whole round. Every subsequent winning spin is then multiplied by that accumulated total, so the round’s ceiling climbs with each new value that lands.
Three or more scatters during the round award five additional free spins, and there’s no stated limit to the retriggers. Hit the 50,000x cap mid-round and everything stops: the win is banked and the leftover spins are gone.
Ante Bet and Bonus Buys
Ante Bet
The ante bet raises the stake multiplier from 20x to 30x, and the reels carry more scatter and Super Scatter symbols as a result, so free spins trigger naturally more often. The buy feature is disabled while it’s active. The RTP with the ante bet in play is 96.55%.
Buy Free Spins
Two buys are available from the base game:
- Free Spins: 100x the current base bet, with 4, 5 or 6 scatters landing randomly on the triggering spin. RTP 96.50%.
- Super Free Spins: 500x the current base bet, with 4, 5 or 6 scatters landing randomly on the triggering spin. Every multiplier symbol in the round is worth at least 10x. RTP 96.49%.
The Super Free Spins buy is the expensive door, but a 10x floor on every multiplier changes the maths of the running total considerably. It’s the closest thing this family has to a direct route to its biggest results.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.6/10
This is the Olympus everyone knows, clouds and gold and Zeus looking pleased with himself, and the reason to be here is one symbol: four Super Scatters pay the full cap on the spot, a route to the biggest result no other build in this family has ever offered. The free spins round rewards patience too, with a running total that quietly compunds spin after spin until one good multiplier lands on top of it.
The honest weakness is the distance between here and there. The Super Free Spins buy costs 500x the bet, and the standard round’s total builds slowly, so plenty of sessions close without either ceiling coming close.
It suits players who love this mountain and want its gentler medium-volatility sides with a genuinely bigger summit, and it gives nothing to anyone after a new format. For the faithful, Zeus is home, and for once he’s brought his full purse.

Bets start at 0.20 and go up to 240 per spin. With the ante bet on, the stake multiplier climbs from 20x to 30x and the reels carry more scatters. -
Can you buy the bonus on Gates of Olympus Super Scatter?
Yes. The free spins round costs 100x the base bet, and the Super Free Spins round, where every multiplier symbol is worth at least 10x, costs 500x the base bet. Both buys land 4, 5 or 6 scatters on the triggering spin. -
What does the Super Scatter symbol do?
Four or more scatters trigger free spins, and any four-plus scatter combination containing at least one Super Scatter pays an instant prize: 100x for one, 500x for two, 5,000x for three and 50,000x for four. The Super Scatter doesn’t appear during the free spins round itself. -
