Gates of Olympus Super Scatter takes Pragmatic Play's most recognisable slot and adds a new symbol that reshapes the game's payout ceiling. Released in April 2025, this sequel keeps the 6x5 scatter pays grid and the multiplier orb system from the original Gates of Olympus, but introduces the Super Scatter symbol. When it appears alongside regular scatters during a trigger spin, the Super Scatter can pay up to 50,000x your stake instantly, ten times the original's maximum.
Quick Facts
What the Super Scatter Symbol Changes
The defining addition is the Super Scatter symbol. In the original game, four or more scatters trigger the free spins round and nothing more. In this version, a second type of scatter exists alongside the regular one. When four or more total scatters land in any combination of regular and Super Scatters, free spins trigger as normal. The difference is what the Super Scatter pays on top.
Each Super Scatter present during the trigger awards an instant payout before the free spins begin. One Super Scatter pays 100x your bet. Two pay 500x. Three pay 5,000x. Four Super Scatters award the full 50,000x maximum win immediately, without needing to play through the bonus round at all. These payouts are separate from whatever the free spins round itself delivers.
The original Gates of Olympus caps at 5,000x, which is already generous for a high-volatility scatter pays game. The Super Scatter version multiplies that ceiling by ten, though reaching it requires all four scatters to be the Super variant. That is an exceptionally rare event, occurring roughly once every 667 million spins on average.
Super Scatters only appear in the base game. Once free spins begin, the round plays out with regular scatters only, so the instant payout mechanic is confined to the trigger spin.
Grid Layout and Scatter Pays
The core mechanics carry over from the original. Eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid register a win, with no paylines or fixed positions required. The symbol set uses the same Greek mythology theme: coloured gemstones fill the low-pay tier, while a ring, hourglass, chalice and crown make up the premium symbols. The crown remains the highest-paying regular icon.
There is no wild symbol. All wins depend on landing enough matching symbols across the grid, which keeps the game straightforward despite the 30 reel positions in play.
Bets range from 20p to £360 per spin. The default RTP is 96.5%, though some operators may run lower versions at 95.5% or 94.5%. You can check which version is active through the game's information panel.
Multipliers and Tumble Chains
Every winning combination triggers a tumble. Winning symbols disappear and replacements drop in from above. If the new symbols form another win, they pay and tumble again. The sequence continues until no further wins appear.
Multiplier orbs follow the same logic as the original. Zeus drops orbs carrying values from 2x up to 500x onto the grid during any spin. When multiplier orbs land alongside a winning tumble chain, their values are added together and applied to the total win for that sequence.
During free spins, these multipliers become cumulative. Rather than resetting after each tumble, the running multiplier total persists throughout each individual free spin, building as more orbs land during the chain. That stacking behaviour is what drives the largest payouts from the bonus round itself, separate from whatever the Super Scatter paid at the trigger.
Free Spins and Retriggers
Landing four or more scatters (regular, Super, or a mix) awards 15 free spins. During the round, three or more additional regular scatters add five extra spins with no cap on retriggers.
The free spins round plays identically to the base game in terms of grid mechanics and symbol payouts. The critical difference is that multiplier orb values stack within each spin rather than applying once and resetting. A single free spin with a long tumble chain and several orbs landing along the way can produce payouts well beyond anything the base game offers.
Super Scatters do not appear during the bonus round. The instant payout mechanic fires once on the trigger spin, and from there the round plays out through the familiar tumble-and-multiply loop.
Ante Bet and Bonus Buy
Two optional features alter how you access the free spins round.
The Ante Bet increases your total stake by 50%, so a £1 bet becomes £1.50 per spin. In return, the probability of landing scatter symbols doubles. This is a steeper premium than the original's 25% Ante Bet, reflecting the higher payout potential of the Super Scatter trigger.
The Bonus Buy offers two tiers. The standard option costs 100x your base bet and guarantees entry to 15 free spins, identical to the original. The Super option costs 500x and starts the round with a minimum 10x multiplier already active, giving the stacking mechanic a head start. Neither option changes the theoretical RTP significantly, though the feature buy RTP sits marginally higher at 96.55%. Note that Bonus Buy availability varies by jurisdiction.
How It Compares to the Original
If you have played the original Gates of Olympus, the gameplay here will feel immediately familiar. The grid, symbols, tumbles and multiplier orb system are all carried across. What changes is the top end of the payout range and the route to getting there.
The original relies entirely on accumulated multipliers during free spins to reach its biggest wins. The Super Scatter version reaches 50,000x through a single trigger event, which fundamentally shifts what the game can deliver in one spin. Whether that makes it a better game depends on what you are looking for. The higher ceiling comes at the cost of an even more top-heavy payout distribution, so expect longer stretches without significant returns.
For players who enjoy Pragmatic Play's scatter pays format more broadly, Sweet Bonanza uses the same tumble and multiplier mechanics in a confectionery setting, while Big Bass Bonanza takes a different approach entirely with traditional paylines and a money collect feature.

The Super Scatter is a special symbol that appears alongside regular scatters in the base game. When four or more total scatters trigger free spins, each Super Scatter present awards an instant payout: 100x for one, 500x for two, 5,000x for three, or 50,000x for all four. Super Scatters do not appear during the free spins round itself.
The main difference is the Super Scatter symbol, which adds instant payouts on top of the free spins trigger and raises the max win from 5,000x to 50,000x. The Super Scatter version also has a higher Ante Bet cost (50% vs 25% extra) and a second Bonus Buy tier at 500x stake.
