Gates of Olympus Super Scatter is the 2025 follow-up to Pragmatic Play's hugely popular Gates of Olympus, and it sits in the Spina Zonke slots range on Hollywoodbets, a licensed South African operator. It keeps the Greek-mythology theme and pay-anywhere engine of the original but adds a new Super Scatter mechanic that lifts the top win to 50,000× — the biggest possible payout on Spina Zonke. This guide explains how it works and who it suits.
This is the Super Scatter edition — not the original
There are now several Gates of Olympus slots, and they are different games with different maths:
- Gates of Olympus (the 2021 original) — 96.50% RTP, 5,000× max win.
- Gates of Olympus 1000 — adds higher multipliers and a 15,000× ceiling.
- Gates of Olympus Super Scatter — the game on this page: the Super Scatter mechanic and a 50,000× max win.
If you are comparing reviews elsewhere, make sure the RTP and max-win figures you read are for the Super Scatter edition, because the names are easy to mix up.
The biggest ceiling on Spina Zonke
If you're chasing the largest single payout in the range, this is the game: the Super Scatter mechanic takes the top win to 50,000× your stake, ten times the ceiling of the original Gates of Olympus. The trade is rhythm — wins land less often here than on gentler titles like Legendary Beasts, because the game concentrates its pay into bigger, rarer moments. Game versions can differ between operators, so check the details shown inside your Hollywoodbets account (the published figures are in the fact box at the top of this page).
How Gates of Olympus Super Scatter works
The game uses a 6-reel, 5-row, pay-anywhere engine. There are no paylines: you win when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are removed and new ones tumble down to fill the gaps, so one spin can produce a chain of wins before it settles.
Scattered across the reels are multiplier symbols worth up to 500× each. When a paid tumble sequence ends, every multiplier symbol on the grid is added together and applied to the total win for that spin — the same crowd-pleasing mechanic that made the original Gates of Olympus famous.
The Super Scatter mechanic
The headline addition is the Super Scatter, which interacts with the free-spins trigger. When you trigger the bonus, the number of Super Scatters landed at that moment sets an instant award on top of the free spins:
| Super Scatters on trigger | Instant award |
|---|
| 1 | 100× bet |
| 2 | 500× bet |
| 3 | 5,000× bet |
| 4 | 50,000× bet |
Four Super Scatters landing together is what unlocks the 50,000× ceiling — an extremely rare outcome. The free-spins round itself awards 15 free spins, during which the multiplier symbols continue to land and add up.
The game also offers an Ante Bet (raising the stake to make the feature trigger more often) and a Feature Buy where available. Both raise your stake per spin, so they suit bigger budgets — on a smaller budget, the standard game gives you more spins for the same money.
How the free spins round plays
The free-spins round is the heart of the game. You enter it by landing four or more scatter symbols, which awards 15 free spins. During the round the pay-anywhere rule still applies — 8 or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pay — and the multiplier symbols keep landing on each spin and tumble. At the end of every spin's tumble sequence, all multiplier symbols on screen are summed and applied to that spin's win, with each symbol worth up to 500×.
Because multiplier symbols can stack within a single spin, the largest free-spin wins come from a big pay-anywhere cluster coinciding with several high multiplier symbols — the overlap that produces the screenshots this game is famous for.
How it compares to the original Gates of Olympus
If you have played the 2021 original, the core feel is familiar: the same 6×5 pay-anywhere grid, tumbling wins and end-of-spin multiplier totals. The Super Scatter edition layers the new instant-award trigger on top, which is what lifts the ceiling from the original's 5,000× to 50,000× — more of the pay concentrated into bigger, rarer moments. Which edition suits you is a question of taste.
Who Gates of Olympus Super Scatter suits
It suits players who liked the original Gates of Olympus and want the bigger top-end the Super Scatter mechanic brings — the pay-anywhere engine and stacking multipliers keep the base game lively even between features, and no other Spina Zonke title can pay as much on a single spin.
If you'd rather have wins landing more often, Sugar Rush hits roughly every third spin and Legendary Beasts is the gentlest game in the range — that's a style choice, and the Spina Zonke games hub puts them side by side.
