Gates of Olympus.
What makes Gates of Olympus different from other pokies?
Three things set it apart. First, the Pay Anywhere system — instead of fixed paylines, you just need 8+ identical symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid. Second, Zeus randomly drops multiplier symbols (up to 500×) on any spin, meaning a normal-looking spin can suddenly become extraordinary. Third, the Total Multiplier in the Free Spins bonus accumulates across all spins and never resets — so a strong bonus run that retriggering extends can build a multiplier into the hundreds. These three mechanics together are why it became Australia’s most-played pokie.
How do I trigger the Free Spins bonus?
Land 4 or more Zeus scatter symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid simultaneously. This awards 15 free spins. During the bonus, landing 3 or more Zeus scatters adds 5 more free spins with no cap on retriggering. Alternatively, use Ante Bet (+25% per spin) to double scatter frequency, or use Bonus Buy (100× your stake) to skip straight into 15 guaranteed free spins instantly.
What is the Total Multiplier and why does it matter?
The Total Multiplier is a running sum that builds during the Free Spins bonus. Every time Zeus drops a multiplier symbol (2× to 500×) that lands on a winning spin, that value is permanently added to the Total Multiplier. It applies to all wins for the rest of the bonus — and it never resets, not even when the bonus retrigggers. If your Total Multiplier reaches 200× and you land a 50× stake cluster win, that becomes 10,000× your bet before the stake multiplier cap. The Total Multiplier is the engine behind the 5,000× max win.
Is Gates of Olympus worth playing on a small budget?
Yes and no. The minimum bet is $0.20, so you can have long sessions without large outlays. However, Gates of Olympus is high volatility — it has a ~20% hit rate, meaning roughly one in five spins returns anything. Long dry runs between wins are normal. For small budgets, avoid the Bonus Buy (100× stake is expensive) and consider Ante Bet only if you have enough balance to sustain it. The base game can be enjoyable at low stakes, and even small bonus triggers can produce meaningful wins when the Total Multiplier builds.
Can I play Gates of Olympus on my phone in Australia?
Yes — Gates of Olympus is fully optimised for mobile. Pragmatic Play built it to run flawlessly in any modern browser on iOS and Android without requiring an app download. Star Casino AU’s mobile site loads the game smoothly in both portrait and landscape. All features work on mobile including Ante Bet, Bonus Buy, Quick Spin and the free spins round. The 6×5 gem grid scales perfectly to smaller screens.
What’s the difference between Ante Bet and Bonus Buy?
Ante Bet adds 25% to your stake on every spin, and in return Zeus scatter symbols appear roughly twice as often. You still spin normally and hope to trigger the bonus organically, but with twice the scatter frequency it happens more often. Bonus Buy costs 100× your total stake and immediately launches the free spins bonus — no waiting, no base game, guaranteed entry. You cannot use both at the same time. Ante Bet is cost-effective for regular play; Bonus Buy is for players who want to go straight to the bonus.
