Following the success of the original game, Pragmatic Play returns with another special edition of its much-loved Gates of Olympus slot. First made available to players in 2021, Gates of Olympus, with its ingenious gameplay, quickly caught the attention of players. Despite the passage of time, the game has remained a favourite among players over the years. In late 2023, Gates of Olympus 1000 was introduced, with boosted elements such as an increased maximum win from 5,000X to 15,000X and improved win multipliers - all to preserve the wonderful gameplay of the original. Now, Pragmatic Play is back at it again with another electrifying instalment in the series: Gates of Olympus Super Scatter. We were eager to learn more about this new game and spoke to Anastasios Ioannidis, Affiliate Manager at ARRISE Powering Pragmatic Play, to gain deeper insights.
Hi, thank you for participating in this interview about Pragmatic Play’s new slot, Gates of Olympus Super Scatter.
Q: What sparked the creative lightning that led to Gates of Olympus Super Scatter?
A: Gates of Olympus is one of the most popular slots series ever, with new games and features extending its appeal and offering players fresh experiences. Gates of Olympus Super Scatter introduces an all-new scatter symbol that awards an instant cash prize when triggering the bonus game. It’s a mechanic that strikes with enormous win potential, making it a natural fit for one of Pragmatic Play’s most beloved and mighty franchises.
Q: What fresh tricks does Zeus have up his sleeve this time?
A: In Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, just like in the original, landing four or more scatter symbols triggers the bonus game. However, brand-new for this instalment are Super Scatters. These award instant cash prizes if they help to trigger the feature.
If one Super Scatter hits in a combination of 4+ scatters, it awards 100x. Two Super Scatters award 500x, while three Super Scatters pay out 5,000x. If four Super Scatter symbols land on the reels, the player wins an incredible 50,000x – by far the biggest max win available in any Gates of Olympus slot to date.
Q: What do you think were the key ingredients that made the original Gates of Olympus such a hit?
A: The original Gates of Olympus remains one of Pragmatic Play’s most popular titles, years after release. I think its enduring appeal is down to a combination of factors: multipliers up to 500x can appear on any spin in both the base game and bonus game, the pays-anywhere gameplay spreads the action out across the entire grid, and the tumbling reels can keep the excitement going well after the initial spin. Not to mention the total multiplier in the bonus game, which can greatly enhance wins when new multipliers hit. It’s quite simply a fun game with a captivating theme, brilliant visuals, and hugely engaging features.
Q: How does Gates of Olympus Super Scatter stack up against its legendary predecessors?
A: The original Gates of Olympus set a high bar, which was raised even higher with Gates of Olympus 1000. This supercharged special edition introduced a 1,000x max multiplier, increasing the overall win potential from 5,000x to 15,000x. One of the best things about Gates of Olympus Super Scatter is that it builds on the core theme and gameplay that players love.
All the ingredients are still there – matching symbols across the grid, tumbling reels, the chance to land up to 500x multipliers on any spin. The new Super Scatter feature simply offers more ways to win big than ever before.
And all three titles offer something a bit different, which is why Gates of Olympus and Gates of Olympus 1000 were both very popular last year. There is every chance that Gates of Olympus Super Scatter will be an instant player favourite too.
Q: Can we expect to see more of the Super Scatter feature in future games, or is this a one-time adventure with Zeus?
A: Super Scatter is an incredibly exciting feature and one worthy of Zeus himself. Like Pragmatic Play’s 1000 series, it has the potential to take all-time classics and brand-new releases to the next level. More Super Scatter titles will launch in the coming months, with Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter arguably top of the list, so watch out for that one!
