Game Information
Introduction
Gates of Olympus 1000 is Pragmatic Play turning the Zeus dial all the way to “crack the sky.” It keeps the familiar tumble-based chaos but cranks the multipliers into four figures. This is the version that looks you straight in the eye and says, “You wanted more? Fine.”
Compared to the original Gates of Olympus, the 1000 variant is louder, riskier, and far more unhinged. The classic feels almost polite next to this one. Gates of Olympus Xmas adds festive coats of paint but keeps the same bones. Gates of Olympus Dice plays with probability twists, while Super Scatter leans into access to bonuses. Gates of Olympus 1000, though, is all about raw power. Bigger multipliers, Bigger swings, Bigger chances of Zeus doing something outrageous.
I’ll be honest. I like this slot. A lot. The potential is intoxicating. That said, the 10p Gamer stance is sensible as ever. It’s volatile, unforgiving, and absolutely not for the faint-hearted bankroll.

Visuals and Audio
Zeus is back, and he’s had a glow-up. The visuals stick to the familiar Olympus theme but feel sharper and more dramatic. Lightning cracks across the reels. Multipliers slam down with real weight. Everything feels tuned to amplify tension. There’s a golden glow to everything, a hint of the cheese to come perhaps?
The soundtrack does its job well. It builds anticipation without becoming irritating. When multipliers land, the audio cues punch nicely. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it absolutely polishes it. Same as the audio form Gates of Olympus O.G, it’s sounds eerie, like a haunted forest. Its good, but its not catchy. It’s not trying to be an ear worm though. It’s trying to force you into a change of pants.
Gameplay
Base Game
The base game sticks closely to the original formula. Wins come from landing eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the reels. After a win, symbols tumble away, allowing new ones to drop in. This can chain multiple wins in a single spin.
The key difference is the multiplier system. Multiplier symbols can land and stack during tumbles. These start at 2x and can climb all the way up to 1,000x. Yes, really. When they hit, they apply to the total win of that tumble sequence.
In practice, the base game can feel brutal. Dead spins are common. Small wins tease constantly. Then, suddenly, Zeus throws a multiplier tantrum and everything changes. It’s high risk, high adrenaline gameplay, and it shows no mercy.
Bonus Features
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing four scatter symbols. This awards 15 free spins. During free spins, multipliers become sticky. Once they land, they stay for the duration of the bonus. They don’t remain on the reels, instead they bank,
This is where the slot earns its reputation. Multipliers can stack relentlessly. A quiet start can explode into something massive in seconds. Re-triggers are possible, adding five extra spins each time.
There is also a Bonus Buy option (for those outside the uk), letting players jump straight into the free spins. This is tempting, but dangerous. The potential is huge, but outcomes can swing wildly. When it hits, it hits hard. When it doesn’t, it reminds you who’s in charge. If you want to try bonus buys, without the risk, have a go on the 10p Gamer Arcade, where you can play in demo mode.
Final Thoughts
Gates of Olympus 1000 is not subtle. It doesn’t need to be. This slot is about extremes. Massive multipliers, savage volatility, and moments that make you sit up straight.
I enjoy it. I enjoy the chaos. I enjoy the “this could go anywhere” feeling every spin brings. From a 10p Gamer perspective, though, caution is king. This slot can drain a balance fast if luck isn’t on your side.
If you love high volatility and dream of four-figure multipliers raining from the sky, this is Zeus at his most unhinged. Just don’t expect him to be generous every time…
