Gates of Olympus 2500 review: Zeus gets a full makeover
Mark 28 September 2026 on your calendar: that is when Pragmatic Play plans to release Gates of Olympus 2500 officially. Players in the Philippines can already spin the demo in pesos, and first impressions are clear. This is not a simple number bump like the 1000 edition. The bonus round has been redesigned around a mode wheel, the betting menu has grown to five special options, and the orb ceiling has risen to x2500.

25,000x or 15,000x? Clearing up the max win
You may see two different numbers for this game. Pragmatic Play's marketing talks about a maximum win of up to 25,000x, and that is the ceiling of the most generous version. The demo, however, greets you with a splash screen reading 15,000x, which is the cap of the build running there. Platforms choose their own version, so the limit that applies to you is whatever the rules screen on your platform says. The same goes for RTP, which reaches 96.52% at best.
The base game in brief
Nothing about the core loop will confuse a returning player. Eight or more of one symbol anywhere on the 6×5 reels is a win, tumbles refill the space, and orbs are summed and applied when a chain ends in profit. The difference is scale: orbs range from x2 up to x2500. A top orb is a rare sight, but at ₱10 a spin, a 3x cluster joined by one would pay ₱75,000.
How the mode wheel works
You still need four, five or six scatters, which pay 3x, 5x or 100x, and you still get 15 free spins. What comes next is new. A wheel spins and lands on one of these modes:
- Free Spins 1 keeps the traditional rule, where an orb is banked only when its spin produces a win.
- Super Free Spins 1 uses that same rule, but no orb can be smaller than x10.
- Free Spins 2 banks every orb, win or no win, and the growing total boosts every payout in the round.
- Super Free Spins 2 combines the Free Spins 2 rule with the x10 minimum.
The second family is where the excitement is. Since orbs on empty spins are no longer thrown away, totals in those rounds usually finish noticeably higher. In all four modes, three scatters during the round award 5 bonus spins.
Three Ante levels
The old single Ante switch is now a three step ladder. Level one multiplies your bet by 1.25 and doubles your scatter odds. Level two multiplies it by 2.75 and makes the bonus eight times more likely. Level three costs 5.5 times the bet, keeps the eightfold chance and removes Free Spins 1 from the wheel, leaving only Super Free Spins 1, Free Spins 2 and Super Free Spins 2.
Two Super Spin modes
Super Spins skip the idea of waiting for orbs. Super Spin 1 costs 20 bets per spin and guarantees at least one orb every time. Super Spin 2 costs 250 bets per spin and guarantees at least one orb worth x25 or more. The trade-off is that the bonus cannot trigger while either mode is active. At ₱10 a spin, Super Spin 2 costs ₱2,500 per turn, so treat it as a luxury.
Buying a bonus mode
| Bonus mode | Price |
|---|---|
| Free Spins 1 | 100x the bet |
| Free Spins 2 | 250x the bet |
| Super Free Spins 1 | 500x the bet |
| Super Free Spins 2 | 1,250x the bet |
Scatters can still lead you to the priciest mode for free if the wheel is kind. A purchase just guarantees the one you want. At ₱10 per spin, Super Free Spins 2 costs ₱12,500, so do some trial runs in the demo first.

- Orb lovers: Super Spins, if your budget can handle 20 or 250 bets a spin.
2500 compared with 1000 and Super Scatter
| 1000 | Super Scatter | 2500 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orb values | up to x1000 | up to x500 | up to x2500 |
| Maximum win | 15,000x | 50,000x | up to 25,000x (demo shows 15,000x) |
| Free spin modes | 1 | 2 (regular and super) | 4, chosen by the wheel |
| Special bets | Ante Bet | Ante Bet | 3 Ante Bets and 2 Super Spins |
For simplicity, the original Gates of Olympus and its free demo remain the best starting point.
