Gates of Olympus vs Gates of Olympus 1000Original, 1000, Dice, Xmas and Super Scatter — side by side

Gates of Olympus vs Gates of Olympus 1000 at a Glance

The original Gates of Olympus came out in 2021 and became one of Pragmatic Play's most played slots. Gates of Olympus 1000 followed in 2023 as a direct remaster: the grid, the rules and the art are almost the same, and three numbers changed.

The headline of Gates of Olympus vs Gates of Olympus 1000 is the ceiling. On a C$1 bet the original stops at C$5,000; the 1000 goes to C$15,000. On C$20 it is C$100,000 against C$300,000. The price of that ceiling is rarity: the full 15,000x lands about once in 2.7 million rounds, against once in 0.7 million for the original's 5,000x. Everything below the cap — the orbs, the tumbles, the free spins — feels the same in both.

The Orb Ladder: 500x vs 1,000x

Both games use the same orb mechanics: an orb lands on any spin or tumble, all orbs on screen are added when the tumbling ends, and in free spins every paying orb joins a total multiplier that never resets. The difference is the top of the ladder. Gates of Olympus 1000 adds one more rung — 1,000x — above the 500x that used to be the top, so the 1000's ladder has sixteen values against the original's fifteen.

A single 1,000x orb on a winning free spin with a total already at x20 makes the meter jump to x1,020 — the scenario that drives the 15,000x cap. In our 100 bought rounds of the 1000 the meter peaked at x72 and the biggest orb was x50; those were enough for a 579.55x round. Details are on the Gates of Olympus 1000 RTP and max win page.

Gates of Olympus vs Gates of Olympus 1000: Which to Play

Pick the original if you like a slightly lower ceiling in exchange for a cap that is easier to reach: the 5,000x lands roughly four times more often than the 1000's 15,000x.

Pick Gates of Olympus 1000 if you want the larger swing. Same RTP, same features, three times the ceiling and a 1,000x orb that can turn one good free spins round into a life-changing one. For Canadian players the 1000 also has the most around it: Drops & Wins prizes, its own Dice and Xmas skins, and a free CAD demo on our home page.

A Short History of the Temple

Gates of Olympus launched in 2021 and quickly became one of the best-known pays-anywhere slots: a 6×5 grid, tumbles, Zeus's multiplier orbs up to 500x and a 5,000x cap. Its success turned it into a family. Gates of Olympus 1000 arrived in 2023 with the same structure and the orb ladder extended to 1,000x, tripling the cap to 15,000x. The Dice and Xmas editions reuse the 1000's maths under new art, and Gates of Olympus Super Scatter takes a different route with super scatters, two bonus buys and a 50,000x cap.

What did not change across the family is worth noting too: the 96.50% RTP in normal play, the pays-anywhere rule from 8 symbols, the 15 free spins from 4 scatters and the +5 retrigger. If you know one edition, you can play all of them in a minute.

Which Edition for Which Budget

Whatever the edition, the budget logic is the same: plan for 100–200 spins of a high-volatility slot, or one bonus buy at 100x your bet.

The 1000 Family: Dice and Xmas

Pragmatic Play built two reskins on the 1000's maths. When they load, the server sends them a settings block identical to the 1000's: RTP 96.50 in normal play and with ante, 96.49 on the buy, a 15,000x cap hit about once in 2,749,771 rounds. The Dice edition replaces every symbol with a die and dresses Zeus in red-and-gold armour; the Xmas edition keeps the gems and treasures but covers them in snow and puts Zeus in a Santa hat. We measured all three side by side — a thousand spins each at C$1:

Because the maths is shared, the differences in the chart come from the luck of 1,000 spins, not from the games — the real split in Gates of Olympus vs Gates of Olympus 1000 is the cap, not the skin. Choose by look: Gates of Olympus 1000 Dice reads quickly on a phone, Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 is the seasonal favourite. Both have free demos in CAD on their pages.

Gates of Olympus Super Scatter: The 50,000x Edition

Players often search for a "Gates of Olympus Super Scatter 1000 demo", but the Super Scatter edition is its own game, not part of the 1000 family. Its server configuration tells a different story from the 1000:

Add Super Scatter to the Gates of Olympus vs Gates of Olympus 1000 question and the picture is clear. The Super Scatter edition raises the ceiling to 50,000x but makes it about 240 times rarer than the 1000's cap, and its orbs stop at 500x, like the original. If you want a realistic shot at the top of the ladder in a lifetime of play, the 1000 is the better balance; if you want the biggest number on the box, Super Scatter has it.

Searching "Gates of Olympus 1000 demo Super Scatter" usually means one of two things: you want the 1000 itself, or you want the 50,000x game. If you came here looking for a Gates of Olympus 1000 demo Super Scatter version, the game you most likely want is the 1000 itself — the free Gates of Olympus 1000 demo on our home page, in CAD.

How to Tell the Editions Apart in a Casino Lobby

Casino lobbies often show three or four temple thumbnails in a row, and the names are easy to mix up. Four quick checks settle it before you spend a cent:

1. Look for the number in the title. "Gates of Olympus" with nothing after it is the 2021 game with the 5,000x cap. A "1000" in the name — including the Dice and Xmas titles — means the 15,000x engine.
2. Read the intro screen. The 1000 opens with "win up to 15000x bet" and "multipliers up to 1000x". If the screen promises less, you have opened the original.
3. Check the symbols. Dice on the reels mean the Dice edition; snow on the gems means Xmas; plain gems and treasures mean the original or the 1000.
4. Open the rules. The rules screens state both the maximum win and the RTP; in the 1000 the cap is on page 6 of 7 and the RTP on page 4.

The same checks work in the demo, which is why it pays to learn the 1000 in the free version first: once you have seen its intro screen and its rules, no lobby thumbnail can fool you.

The Ante Bet Across the Family

The ante bet is the one control that behaves differently from edition to edition, so it deserves its own note. In the original, the 1000, Dice and Xmas it costs a quarter more per spin (×1.25), doubles the natural chance of free spins and switches the buy off; the RTP does not change. Because the cap is counted on the base bet, the server states it differently with ante on — 4,000x of the total stake in the original and 12,000x in the 1000 family. Super Scatter's ante costs half as much again (×1.5) and is the only mode in the family set above 96.50%, at 96.55%.

Read the family as a whole and the story of Gates of Olympus vs Gates of Olympus 1000 is clear: the rules are shared, and the 1000 changes the top of the orb ladder and the ceiling. That is also why our paytable and our measured numbers for the 1000 are the best reference for the Dice and Xmas skins.

How We Compared

Every comparison number on this page comes from one of two places. The caps, top-win rates and RTP settings are read from the block each game's server sends when its demo loads — we saved it for all five editions on 11 October 2026 and cross-checked the RTPs with the games' own rules screens. The measured results come from our test runs of the 1000, Dice and Xmas at C$1, documented on our who we are page. The rules shared by the whole family are explained on our page on how to play Gates of Olympus 1000.

Play the Winner for Real

Our pick for Canadian players is Gates of Olympus 1000: the same 96.50% as everything else in the family, three times the original's ceiling and a top-win rate you can actually dream about.
