A festive version of Gates of Olympus 1000. We read its rules panel against the standard 1000 and found the same figures: this page exists so you can try the demo, not because the game plays differently.

How Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 Works

The first list restates the Pragmatic Play game page. The second lists what the rules panel inside the demo adds or contradicts. We do not state figures that neither source prints.

From the provider page

Set on a familiar 6x5 grid with snowy symbols. At least eight matching symbols anywhere on the screen win.
Multipliers can hit on any reel in the base game with values from 2x to 1,000x, combined at the end of every spin sequence and awarded to the player.
Four or more scatter symbols launch the free spins with 15 spins. Multipliers in the round are added to a total applied to any win when a new symbol lands, and three or more scatters add five spins.
Special reels are in play during the free spins round.

From the rules panel in the demo

Compared with Gates of Olympus 1000, the rules text we read has the same multiplier list, ante bet, RTP of 96.50% and 15,000x cap. The visible change is the winter theme and the festive Zeus.

Source: the official Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 page at Pragmatic Play. Which options an operator offers in Great Britain can differ from the demo, and we have not confirmed them market by market.

How It Compares With Gates of Olympus Super Scatter

Against Gates of Olympus Super Scatter the points are the same as for the standard Gates of Olympus 1000: multipliers up to 1,000x instead of 500x, a 15,000x cap instead of 50,000x, no Super Scatter symbol, and a High volatility label against Medium. If you want the mechanics, read the page for the standard 1000.

Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000	Pays anywhere: 8 or more matching symbols	15,000x bet	High
Gates of Olympus Super Scatter	Pays anywhere: 8 or more matching symbols	50,000x bet	Medium

Closest Games by Maximum Win

The three games whose maximum win sits nearest to this one, not ranked by release date or by RTP: the provider pages publish RTP only between 96.50% and 96.55%, which does not tell the games apart.

Game	Volatility label	Maximum win	Reel layout	RTP on provider page
Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 this page	High	15,000x bet	6x5	96.50%
Gates of Olympus 1000	High	15,000x bet	6x5	96.50%

Gates of Olympus	Medium	5,000x bet	6x5	96.50%

Volatility label, maximum win and layout are read from each game’s own rules panel in the free demo. RTP is the figure Pragmatic Play publishes on its game page; an empty cell means that page publishes none. Operators can show different values.
