Notes by Alex Kerr · Updated August 2026 · Sequel — not the 2021 original
Gates of Olympus 1000: Same Pay-Anywhere Grid, Orbs Up to 1,000×
Gates of Olympus 1000 keeps the 6×5 pay-anywhere tumble of the 2021 original, then raises multiplier orbs (up to 1,000×) and the advertised max win (commonly 15,000× versus 5,000×). The published default RTP still sits near 96.50%. It is a different game in the lobby. An orb on a dead spin still does nothing.

Gates of Olympus 1000 at a glance
Compare with the original Gates of Olympus page. If the client title lacks 1000, you are on the 5,000× cap game.
How 1000 differs from the original
Same rule as Gates of Olympus: eight or more matching symbols anywhere, then tumble. Orbs still apply only when a win is also on the grid. The sequel allows much larger orb values (up to 1,000×). During free spins, landed multipliers can still accumulate. That is the entire upgrade story.
The original’s 5,000× cap is why some players preferred it as “the calmer Zeus.” 1000’s 15,000× cap is not calmer. Droughts remain. An orb on a blank spin still banks nothing.
Ante and bonus-buy are common on 1000 builds and commonly excluded from welcome wagering. Read the list before you hunt orbs with a match attached.
Features that change the session
Higher orb values
Up to 1,000× on this build versus the smaller orb set on the 2021 original. Confirm the title strip. Mixing the two is how people quote the wrong max win.
Free-spin accumulation
Same idea as the original: orbs that land in the feature can add to a running total. Most paid hours never see the clip version.
Not Sweet Bonanza 1000
Different objects (orbs vs bombs), different cap (15,000× vs 25,000×). If you wanted candy, that is the other 1000 page.
RTP: same headline, harsher tail
The commonly cited default remains about 96.50%—the same headline as the original. The sequel is not “a better RTP Zeus.” Volatility and the 15,000× cap change how that 96.5% is delivered. Operators can still select a lower 1000 sheet. The panel in this client wins.
If you wanted the 5,000× original on purpose, stay on Gates of Olympus. If you wanted candy bombs to 1,000×, that is Sweet Bonanza 1000.
Bonus wagering notes
Treat 1000 as a high-volatility Pragmatic video pokie. Contribution is often 100% unless the terms name the sequel, “Olympus 1000,” bonus-buy games or high-volatility Pragmatic as excluded. The original and the sequel can sit on different lines of the same PDF.
Awarded free spins labelled “Gates of Olympus” may not be the 1000 build. Confirm before you opt in.
Where to open it — pick one job
Gates of Olympus 1000 is a separate certified Pragmatic title. A lobby tile that only says Olympus is not this game. The useful question is not “who has the tile”. It is why you are opening an account. Search the live lobby after you land—availability is not a promise copied from this page.
-
If you deposit with PayID
LuckyDreams
Up to $4,000 + 475 FS
AUD cashier with PayID as the default in. SoftSwiss is pokies-first: search Gates of Olympus 1000 after you fund, then open the info panel for the RTP on that build.
Not this path if you only care about a huge search box. SpinRise is deeper and typically has no PayID.
-
If you just need the title live
SpinRise
111% up to $777 + 111 FS
Best first search when the job is “is the 1000 tile live?”. Confirm the title strip says 1000, not the 2021 original. Cards, Apple Pay or crypto to fund.
Not this path if you need PayID. That rail is typically absent here.
-
If welcome spins lock to this pokie
WildSino
250% up to $3,750 + 300 FS
The 300-spin welcome often sits on a named Pragmatic title. Open this path only after the cashier preview shows Gates of Olympus 1000—not the 2021 original. Coin size and the clock still apply.
Not this path if the attached game is a different title. Skip the batch rather than forcing Gates of Olympus 1000.
Also in the lobby — not a reason to register
MoonWin and JeetCity run overlapping studio stacks. Open those for a staged match or crypto cash-out, not because this tile exists. Bonus-buy and ante while a welcome is active are often excluded from wagering. Shared maths: bonuses & wagering.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Clear sequel story: bigger orbs, higher advertised cap
- Same readable 8+ anywhere rule as the original
- Separate keyword from 2021 Gates of Olympus
- Common in Pragmatic-led AU catalogues
Cons
- Not calmer than the original despite the shared 96.50% headline
- Orbs on dead spins still do nothing
- Buy/ante traps are louder on 1000 builds
- Lobbies mix both titles under one Zeus thumbnail
Who this suits
Players who already like pay-anywhere Zeus and specifically want the 1000 orb cap. If you searched the original 5,000× game, use Gates of Olympus. If you wanted a collector feature instead, Big Bass Bonanza.

Gates of Olympus 1000 FAQ
Is Gates of Olympus 1000 the same as Gates of Olympus?
No. Same 6×5 pay-anywhere idea, higher orb cap (up to 1,000×) and a higher advertised max win (15,000× vs 5,000×). Different certified game.
What is the Gates of Olympus 1000 RTP?
About 96.50% on the commonly cited default—same headline as the original, harsher tail. Read the 1000 panel.
Do orbs still need a win on the grid?
Yes. An orb on a dead spin does not bank a multiplier for later in the base game. During free spins, landed multipliers can accumulate.
Will my welcome bonus include the 1000 version?
Only if the terms name it. Some lists say “Gates of Olympus” and mean the 2021 game. Screenshot the exact title.
Where can Australians play Gates of Olympus 1000?
Do not pick a casino because the tile exists. PayID deposit: LuckyDreams. Find the title in a deep lobby: SpinRise (typically no PayID). Welcome spins locked to a named Pragmatic game: WildSino—confirm the attached title is Gates of Olympus 1000 before you opt in. Search the live lobby either way.
