Total Multiplier Accumulates During Free Spins Without Resetting

The Total Multiplier in Free Spins never resets between spins. Each Multiplier symbol that lands on a winning spin adds its value to a running total, and that total multiplies every later win in the round, so the feature's weight sits in its final spins: in one recorded session the counter reached 14x with eight spins left and closed at 22x, returning $234.80 across 15 Free Spins. The base game runs on the same delayed logic, where a Tumble sequence pays only after the last cascade falls and every Multiplier value on screen is summed against the full sequence win. Retriggers of three or more Scatter symbols add five spins with no stated limit, extending the window in which the total can keep growing. Pragmatic Play labels the volatility High, and the 15,000x hard cap can cut a round short, forfeiting whatever spins remain.

Bankroll management and volatility explained

Only pre-spin settings remain adjustable in Gates of Olympus 1000: the stake, the Ante Bet toggle and, with the toggle off, a 100x purchase straight into Free Spins. The costs differ in kind, a scaling factor, a quarter added to each spin, or one fixed entry price, while the documented return is 96.50% in both bet modes and 96.49% for purchased rounds.

Ante Bet: cost per spin against trigger odds: The Ante Bet toggle is changed between spins and lifts the bet from a 20x to a 25x multiplier: every spin then costs a quarter more in exchange for doubled natural Free Spins odds through extra Scatter symbols, and the 100x purchase is disabled for as long as it stays on. Return is documented at 96.50% in both modes, so the trade is price against frequency; the absolute trigger rate itself is unstated.
The purchase buys timing, not the result: Available only with Ante Bet off, the purchase charges 100x of the active total bet, forces a four-Scatter trigger and starts the same 15-spin round a natural trigger would. Bought rounds carry a published return of 96.49% against 96.50% for standard play, and their outcome remains random: the only fixed part is the timing of entry, with the 15000x bet cap still ending any round it reaches.
The stake prices both routes into Free Spins: The stake can be reset between spins and only rescales the figures: symbol and Scatter pays, the 15000x cap and both side options are quoted against the base bet. Ante Bet adds a quarter of that stake per spin, and the purchase always bills 100x of the current value, displayed in its dialog before confirmation. Return percentages are documented per mode, but no record ties bet size to Scatter frequency, orb values or trigger odds.

Exploring the game modes

Three states share one spin cycle, and each changes what the next can do. Base Game hosts every round and alone enables the Free Spins purchase. Double Chance replaces that purchase with doubled natural trigger odds. Free Spins, once entered, locks in a multiplier that no later spin resets.

Base Game: Default state at a 20x bet multiplier, and the only state where Buy Free Spins at 100x bet stays available. Wins form from 8 or more matching symbols anywhere, Tumble refills without limit, and Multiplier orbs from 2x to 1000x sum onto the full tumble sequence total.
Double Chance: Activated from the standard bet only, it raises the stake to a 25x multiplier and doubles natural Free Spins frequency through extra Scatter symbols on special reels. The trade is direct: while it runs, the 100x purchase is disabled, so entry into Free Spins depends on Scatters alone. RTP stays 96.50%.
Free Spins: Entered through 4 or more Scatters, naturally or by purchase, with 15 spins. Its Total Multiplier accumulates across the whole round and never resets: every orb landing on a winning spin adds permanently. Retriggers of 3 or more Scatters add 5 spins, and the round ends at the 15000x cap.

Getting started: step by step

Gates of Olympus 1000 is a High volatility Pragmatic Play slot on a 6x5 grid under the Gods of ancient Greece theme. Symbols pay anywhere by count, each win triggers a Tumble, and the loop repeats per spin until a feature or the session ends.

Set the bet

Adjust the wager with the plus and minus controls until BET shows the desired stake. Payouts are calculated from this amount, and the active bet mode decides which side options stay available.
Pick a bet mode

Leave DOUBLE CHANCE TO WIN FEATURE off for standard Scatter frequency, or switch it ON to raise the stake, add more Scatter symbols and double the natural Free Spins chance. With the toggle ON, BUY FREE SPINS is disabled.
Spin the reels

Press the spin control once. Symbols land across the grid and matching symbols pay anywhere by total count. Winning symbols disappear, new ones drop in through the Tumble, and any Multiplier symbols on screen are summed and applied to the sequence total.
Enter Free Spins

Four or more Scatter symbols anywhere award 15 Free Spins, or use BUY FREE SPINS when offered. During the round, a TOTAL MULTIPLIER accumulates without resetting; three or more Scatter symbols add further spins.

Editor's rating

Pros

Persistent free-spins multiplier compounds across all 15 spins, making the 15000x cap reachable
Bonus buy at 100x costs almost no RTP, dropping only to 96.49 from 96.50 percent

Weaknesses

Orb values vanish on non-winning free spins, so dry stretches waste landed multipliers
Ante Bet disables the bonus buy, forcing a choice between trigger frequency and direct access

Gates of Olympus 1000 suits patience-driven players who accept long lean base phases for a free-spins round where the accumulating multiplier is the whole game. The 15000x ceiling and near-free bonus buy justify the variance; the dead-spin multiplier waste is the price.
