Gates of Olympus, Reviewed Properly — Original, 1000 & Super Scatter
Gates Hub covers one thing and covers it properly: the Gates of Olympus family by Pragmatic Play. Three games, one Zeus-and-lightning universe, three distinct risk-to-reward shapes. A straight, sourced answer on which one actually fits how you play — not the same three recycled sentences every quick listicle repeats.

The Gates of Olympus Family, Explained in One Table
Most "gates of olympus 1000 vs original" searches lead to pages that never actually compare the numbers. Here's the direct version: three games, same Zeus-and-lightning universe, three different risk-to-reward shapes. This table is the fastest way to pick correctly.
| Game | RTP (published) | Max win | Orb multiplier cap | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gates of Olympus | 96.50% | 5,000x | 500x | First-timers to the series wanting the balanced, most-played version |
| Gates of Olympus 1000 | 96.50% | 15,000x | 1000x | Players who liked the original and want a higher ceiling without a new interface to learn |
| Gates of Olympus Super Scatter | 96.50% | 50,000x | 500x (plus tiered Super Scatter payouts to 50,000x) | Volatility-tolerant players chasing the single biggest number in the family |
The published RTP figure is identical across all three at the default configuration (96.50%), which tells you the house edge doesn't change much between them — what changes is how that return is distributed. The original spreads wins more often at a lower ceiling; 1000 stretches the ceiling without touching frequency much; Super Scatter concentrates a meaningful share of the theoretical return into rare, enormous hits via its tiered scatter payouts. None of that means one version is "better" — it means they suit different bankroll sizes and different tolerance for long dry spells between wins. Full detail, including how each RTP variant is typically licensed to operators, sits on each game's own review page linked above.
Why Gates Hub Only Covers the Gates of Olympus Family
Depth over breadth
Most slot review sites spread one paragraph across hundreds of games. Gates Hub does the opposite: three games, reviewed properly, with a real specs table, sourced RTP data and a direct sibling-to-sibling comparison — rather than a shallow entry for every title Pragmatic Play has ever released.
We separate "published" from "guaranteed"
Pragmatic Play ships several RTP configurations for each Gates of Olympus game — an operator can legally run any of the three at 96.50%, 95.51% or 94.50% without prominently disclosing which one you're playing. Every specs table on this site flags that range and tells you exactly where to check the live figure before you commit real money.
We compare siblings honestly
"Gates of Olympus vs 1000 vs Super Scatter" is one of the most searched comparisons around this game, and most results either ignore it or fake a verdict. Our comparison table above exists precisely because three games sharing a name and a mythology theme are not interchangeable.
We link demo before deposit
Every review on Gates Hub links to a free-play route before it links to a deposit route. If a game's volatility, pace or bonus frequency doesn't suit you, the demo tells you that in five minutes for free.
One Studio, One Family, Properly Covered
All three games in this family come from Pragmatic Play, one of the largest content suppliers in regulated online gambling, distributed through operators licensed by regulators including the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority. Gates Hub is not affiliated with Pragmatic Play and doesn't operate any casino — we track this specific family closely enough to give sourced, specific answers rather than generic ones, which is the whole reason this site stays narrow instead of trying to cover every slot on the market.
The three games share an identical 6×5 pay-anywhere tumble grid and the same Zeus-and-lightning theme, but they are not interchangeable: the original spreads value across more frequent, smaller wins; 1000 raises the ceiling without touching the core rhythm; Super Scatter concentrates a meaningful share of return into rare, tiered scatter payouts. Reading all three reviews together — not just picking one at random — is genuinely the fastest way to understand which version actually fits your bankroll and patience for dry spells.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gates Hub a casino?
No. Gates Hub is an editorial slot review site. We write specs tables, RTP data and comparisons for the Gates of Olympus family and link out to licensed third-party operators where each game can actually be played. We don't take deposits, run a licence of our own, or set the odds on any game we review.
Why does Gates Hub only cover three games?
Because depth beats breadth. Rather than a thin paragraph on dozens of unrelated slots, we go deep on one family — full specs, honest FAQ answers and a real sibling comparison — so every review here is something you can actually act on, not filler.
Which Gates of Olympus game should I start with?
The original Gates of Olympus for a balanced, well-tested experience with a 5,000x ceiling; Gates of Olympus 1000 if you enjoyed the original and want a bigger swing without learning a new interface; Super Scatter if you specifically want the largest possible single win (50,000x) and can tolerate long stretches without a payout.
Why do RTP figures vary between sources?
Pragmatic Play distributes several RTP configurations for each Gates of Olympus game, and individual casinos choose which one to run. A figure you see on Gates Hub or any other review site is the studio-published default or most common configuration — not a guarantee for the specific operator you play at. Always check the in-game info panel for the live figure before you deposit.
Can I play these games for free?
Yes. All three games have a demo/free-play mode available through licensed operators, with no account or deposit required. Our free demo slots guide explains exactly how to find it and what it can and can't teach you before you spend real money.
Is Gates Hub only for UK players?
This version of the site is written for a UK audience — spelling, currency references and trust/regulatory notes are UK-specific. Localised versions for other markets are in development and will carry their own region-appropriate licensing and responsible-gambling information rather than a direct translation of this page.
Will Gates Hub ever review other slots?
Possibly in future, but not by default. This site is deliberately scoped to the Gates of Olympus family so that every review stays deep and specific rather than thin and generic — any expansion would follow the same standard, not a quick catalogue-padding exercise.
How do you decide the max win figures you publish?
Max win multipliers come from Pragmatic Play's own published game information and are cross-checked against independent slot-database listings before we publish them on a review page. Where sources disagree even slightly, we say so in the specs table rather than picking whichever number looks more impressive.
