Which Gates of Olympus Is Better? All Versions Compared
Pragmatic Play has turned Gates of Olympus into a whole series. They share the same idea — Zeus, tumbling wins and multipliers that add up in free spins — but the multipliers, max win, Ante Bet and Buy prices differ. Here is every official version side by side, and which one fits which kind of player.

Short Answer
- Calmest sessions: the original Gates of Olympus — lowest max win, least extreme swings.
- Bigger ceiling, same rules: Gates of Olympus 1000 (or the Xmas 1000 reskin).
- Jackpot-style extra: Super Scatter — instant prizes up to 50,000x, but an Ante Bet that costs 50% more.
- Newest: 2500 and POP (autumn 2026) — try them in the demo first.
The original, 1000, Xmas 1000, Super Scatter and Dice all have the same 96.50% default RTP. So no version pays back more on average — the choice is about how much variance you want.

Gates of Olympus vs Gates of Olympus 1000
This is the comparison most players ask about. The base game is identical — same grid, same paytable, same free spins (15 for 4+ scatters, +5 on retrigger), same Ante Bet (×1.25) and Buy (100x). The only differences are themultiplier range (2x–500x vs 2x–1,000x) and the max win(5,000x vs 15,000x). Because the RTP is the same, the extra top-end in 1000 is paid for with leaner ordinary rounds. Pick the original if you want your budget to last; pick 1000 if you are chasing a bigger hit.Full Gates of Olympus 1000 review.
