Gates of Olympus POP

History made Zeus a ruler, mythology made him a god, and cinema made him larger than life. Gates of Olympus POP does something rather unexpected: it makes him adorable.

Pragmatic Play takes its familiar ruler of Olympus off the throne, shrinks him down and lets him join the fun beneath a compact 3×5 grid. He even jumps in celebration when a Tumble win lands, which is quite a career change for someone normally associated with thunderbolts and divine authority. 

The POP format takes a more streamlined and accessible approach to the familiar experience, pairing low volatility and a 96.54% RTP with accessible mechanics. (more about volatility HERE)
Five or more matching symbols appearing anywhere on the grid create a win, after which the Tumble feature can keep the action moving.

The original series presented Zeus as a fearless ruler, protector and a myth.

Theme And Symbols

The marble columns, clouds and unmistakably Greek surroundings haven't gone anywhere. What has changed is the mood. Everything is brighter and more playful, with crowns, rings, gems and hourglasses filling the grid while miniature Zeus waits below for something worth celebrating.

When a winning combination appears, those symbols disappear and replacements tumble into the empty spaces. Another match means another Tumble, allowing a single paid spin to develop into a chain of wins. 

Then Zeus remembers that he is still Zeus.

Multiplier symbols can arrive with values reaching 1,000x and remain on the grid throughout consecutive Tumbles. Once the sequence ends, their values are combined and the resulting multiplier is applied to the total win. Cute, apparently, does not mean powerless.

Betting Options And Special Features

Bets range from $0.10 to $250 per spin, leaving plenty of room between a cautious visit to Olympus and a considerably bolder one. The game's prize potential reaches25,000x the bet, with its POP feature providing the largest target. Zeus has a few more tricks. 

Landing three or more Scatters opens 15 Free Spins, while two or more additional Scatters during the feature add another five. 

Multipliers become particularly interesting here because winning values contribute to a progressive total, which carries through the feature and applies at the end of each successful Tumble sequence.

There is also a more immediate route to something substantial. POP symbols appearing alongside the required Scatters can award instant prizes, with one, two, or three POPs corresponding to the 50x Snap jackpot, 500x Spark jackpot, and 25,000xBurst jackpot. No lengthy audience with the gods required. Find all the info about Jackpots HERE.

Conclusion 

Pragmatic Play has returned to Greek mythology more than once, with releases such as Wisdom of Athena and The Hand Of Midas. Gates of Olympus POP doesn't try to make that familiar world grander. 

Compared to other Pragmatic Play releases, this online casino game discovers what happens when the same world loosens its rules a little.

That is where its personality actually is. This online slot exposed its secret to players- the mechanics are easy to follow. The Tumbles give each spin room to continue, and the multiplier and POP features provide larger targets without fighting against the game's cheerful presentation.

Familiar god. New personality.

Zeus has spent long enough looking down from Olympus. This time, he's discovered that coming down to play can be considerably more fun.

After all, Olympus has learned a new trick, so can you.
