Gates of Olympus 2500: review of the new version
Gates of Olympus 2500 is the newest entry in the Pragmatic Play series, with its release scheduled for 28 September 2026. Unlike the 1000 version, which mostly raised the orb values, this one reworks the bonus game: a wheel now picks one of four free spin modes before the round starts, there are three levels of Ante Bet, and paid Super Spins guarantee multipliers on every spin.
The core rules are familiar: a 6×5 grid, wins for 8 or more matching symbols anywhere, tumbles and Zeus orbs. The orbs can now be worth up to x2500. Pragmatic Play quotes a maximum win of up to 25,000x the stake depending on the game version, although the demo version shows a 15,000x cap on its start screen. The demo is already available, so South African players can try it in rand before the official launch.

Multipliers up to x2500
Zeus orbs can land on any reel in the base game and during free spins, each with a value between x2 and x2500. When a tumble sequence ends, all orb values on the grid are added together and the win of the sequence is multiplied by the total. x2500 orbs are very rare, but they give this version the highest base game ceiling of any Gates of Olympus.
The wheel and four free spin modes
Four, five or six scatters pay 3x, 5x or 100x the bet and award 15 free spins. Before the bonus begins, a wheel spins and chooses one of four modes:
| Mode | How the multiplier works |
|---|---|
| Free Spins 1 | Classic: an orb is added to the total multiplier only on a winning spin |
| Super Free Spins 1 | The same, but every orb is at least x10 |
| Free Spins 2 | Every orb is added to the total even without a win, and the total applies to all wins |
| Super Free Spins 2 | Free Spins 2 with every orb at least x10 |
The big innovation is the Free Spins 2 family: the multiplier grows with every orb, not just the ones that land on a winning spin. As a result, the total multiplier is usually noticeably higher by the end of the round. In every mode, 3 scatters add another 5 free spins.
Ante Bets and Super Spins
Gates of Olympus 2500 offers five special bet options instead of one:
- Ante Bet 1: stake ×1.25, twice the chance of free spins.
- Ante Bet 2: stake ×2.75, eight times the chance of free spins.
- Ante Bet 3: stake ×5.5, eight times the chance, and the wheel only chooses from the upgraded modes Super Free Spins 1, Free Spins 2 or Super Free Spins 2.
- Super Spin 1: 20x the bet per spin, with at least one orb guaranteed on every spin.
- Super Spin 2: 250x the bet per spin, with at least one orb of x25 or more on every spin.
Free spins cannot be triggered during Super Spins. These modes suit players who want to see multipliers on the grid straight away and are prepared to pay considerably more for it.
Bonus buy options
| What you buy | 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 |
If the bonus triggers naturally, the wheel can land on any of the four modes, including the priciest Super Free Spins 2. Buying simply guarantees the mode you want. At a R1 stake, Super Free Spins 2 would cost R1,250, so try every mode in the free demo before spending hundreds of bets.
