Olympus Trueways

Olympus Trueways is BGaming's trip up the mountain to Zeus, and the studio has built it on its own Trueways engine rather than a fixed payline structure. The six reels change height from one spin to the next, so the number of winning ways shifts constantly and a tall grid can pay far more than the same symbols would on a standard layout. It arrived in May 2025 and pairs that shifting grid with two very different bonus rounds, one built on multiplier wilds and one on locked coins and jackpots. The base game is bright and quick, and the features are where it opens up.

How Olympus Trueways plays

The Trueways system is the part worth understanding first. Rather than a fixed 6x4 or 6x5 grid, every one of the six reels can stop at any height between two and eight symbols, and the reels visibly stretch and contract as they land. Wins are still formed by matching symbols on adjacent reels running from the left, but how many ways exist depends entirely on how tall the reels have grown that spin. A short grid offers a few hundred ways; when all six reels reach their full eight symbols, the count peaks at 262,144. Expansion happens in the base game as well as in the bonus, which is what stops ordinary spins feeling flat.

Four, five or six scatters landing on reels four to six award 12, 15 or 20 free spins. Wilds behave differently in that round: each one arrives carrying a x2, x3 or x5 multiplier, and those values add to a running total that applies for the rest of the feature, so a long free spins round can build a serious multiplier before it ends. The second feature is Coin Respin, a hold and win round triggered by six or more coin symbols. Coins lock in place, the respin counter resets whenever a new one lands, and lightning symbols split the mid and high value coins in two. Filling Zeus's lightning meter through the collect feature puts the Mega jackpot in reach, above the Major and Mini tiers. Where the operator allows it, a buy option can trigger either bonus directly.

Olympus Trueways RTP, volatility and max win

BGaming publishes the RTP at 96.7%, marginally above the typical modern slot, and rates the volatility as very high. The studio's own figures spell out what that means in practice: the hit rate is around 4.33%, so fewer than one spin in twenty returns anything at all, and free spins trigger on average about once every 230 spins. Most of the theoretical return sits inside the bonus rounds rather than being paid back steadily on the base game. The maximum win is capped at 5,000x your stake, a healthy ceiling without matching the extreme caps some studios chase, and it is realistically reached only through a long free spins round with a large accumulated multiplier. Stake sizing matters more than usual here, because long stretches with nothing back are normal rather than bad luck.

Playing Olympus Trueways

Olympus Trueways is carried by online casinos that take BGaming's content, which covers a wide spread of UK facing operators. You can try the free demo on this page first, with no account and no deposit needed, a sensible way to see how often the reels expand and how the coin round behaves before committing real money. The casinos listed on this page offer the game to real money players. Where a casino attaches free spins to it, those spins carry their own wagering terms and expiry conditions, so read the promotion rules before opting in.

Is Olympus Trueways worth playing?

It suits players who are comfortable with a swingy base game and are really playing for the features. If you prefer frequent small returns or a session that ticks along steadily, that 4.33% hit rate will wear thin fast. If you enjoy hold and win rounds and like a grid that can double in height mid spin, it is one of BGaming's more inventive recent slots, and the free spins multiplier build gives it real top end potential. A game that pays this rarely is unusually good at convincing you the next spin is due, and the buy bonus button makes chasing that feeling expensive very quickly. Treat any feature purchase as money already spent rather than an investment, and have a look at our responsible gambling guide for the tools that help keep that honest.
