Gates of Olympus Bonus & Free Spins — Full Guide
The Free Spins bonus round is the centrepiece of Gates of Olympus and the gateway to the game's maximum win of 5,000× your stake. Here is everything you need to know about how it works, how to trigger it, and how to maximise every bonus round you hit.
How to Trigger Free Spins
The Free Spins feature is triggered by landing four or more Zeus Scatter symbols anywhere on the 6×5 grid. The Scatters do not need to be adjacent or aligned — they can appear in any position across all 30 symbol slots.
When the trigger fires, you receive 15 free spins. During these spins, the game enters a special accumulation mode — every multiplier symbol that appears is collected rather than applied immediately, with all values adding together across the entire feature.
| Scatters Landed | Spins Awarded | Trigger Type |
|---|---|---|
| 4 Scatters | 15 Free Spins | Standard trigger |
| 5 Scatters | 15 Free Spins | Standard trigger |
| 6 Scatters | 15 Free Spins | Standard trigger |
| 3+ Scatters (during bonus) | +5 Free Spins | Retrigger |
* The number of initial Scatters does not change the spins count — 15 is always the base award.
How Multiplier Accumulation Works
The multiplier accumulation mechanic is what makes the Gates of Olympus bonus round uniquely powerful. Unlike standard slots where each multiplier applies only to a single win, here all multipliers are collected and summed — then that combined total is applied to every win during the feature.
Example Bonus Round
This x370 is then applied to every winning tumble combination during the remaining spins — a single spin with a $1 bet and a standard win of 2× your stake becomes $740.
This is why patience in the base game is rewarded — a single exceptional bonus round with high multiplier accumulation can produce wins of hundreds or thousands of times your bet size, even at modest stake levels.
Bonus Buy — Enter the Feature Directly
The Bonus Buy feature allows you to purchase the Free Spins round directly for 100× your current bet, bypassing the base game entirely. This is ideal for players who want concentrated, efficient bonus sessions rather than grinding through the base game.
| Cost | 100× your current bet |
| At $0.20 stake | $20 per Bonus Buy |
| At $1.00 stake | $100 per Bonus Buy |
| At $5.00 stake | $500 per Bonus Buy |
| Spins Awarded | 15 Free Spins (same as organic trigger) |
| Retriggers | Yes — same rules apply |
| Max Win (RTP unchanged) | 5,000× stake |
When to Use Bonus Buy
- ✓Your bankroll is at least 5× the Bonus Buy cost
- ✓You want a focused, time-efficient session
- ✓You have experience with the game's variance
- ✗Never buy if remaining budget is less than 3× the cost
- ✗Avoid after a big win — protect your profit
Ante Bet — Double Your Scatter Chance
The Ante Bet feature increases your wager by 25% in exchange for doubled Scatter frequency on the reels. Instead of waiting for natural base-game Scatter landings, the Ante Bet effectively halves your average wait between bonus triggers.
