What counts as a Gates of Olympus 2500 variant
Six Pragmatic Play slots sit in the Gates of Olympus line alongside the 2500: the 2021 original, Super Scatter, Xmas 1000, Dice, 1000 Dice and Pachi. Those six are the whole comparison on this page. Olympus-themed slots from other studios borrow the setting and share none of the maths, so they stay out of it.
Every claim here comes from the same records that fill the table below: name, release date, grid layout, volatility rating, win ceiling and, where one has been published, RTP. Where a field is empty this page says so rather than filling the gap. For the game itself rather than how it sits against its relatives, the Gates of Olympus 2500 slot review covers the base game and the bonus round, and the studio behind it and the 28 September 2026 release date are handled on the Pragmatic Play release page.
Gates of Olympus 2500 vs the rest of the Gates series
Read across the table and the family resemblance is obvious. Every entry is a Pragmatic Play title, every one carries a high volatility rating, and five of the six keep the 6×5 grid that the 2500 uses. What separates them is when they arrived, what the grid looks like and where the win ceiling sits.
- Gates of Olympus (February 2021). The original, and the one people usually mean when they say the name with no number attached. Same 6×5 grid as the 2500, and the lowest ceiling in the line.
- Gates of Olympus Dice (February 2024). The dice-styled build of that original. Layout and ceiling match the 2021 release; the presentation is what changed.
- Gates of Olympus Pachi (November 2024). The one real structural break. It runs a 3×3 grid, so the pay-anywhere tumble rhythm the six-reel builds share does not carry over.
- Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 (December 2024). A Christmas treatment on the standard 6×5 grid, sitting between the original and the 2500 in the ceiling column.
- Gates of Olympus 1000 Dice (January 2025). The only sibling with a published RTP in these records, at 96.5% - close enough to the 96.52% default on the 2500 to count as the same class of return.
- Gates of Olympus Super Scatter (April 2025). The most recent sibling before the 2500, on the familiar 6×5 layout, and the top of the ceiling column.
The ceiling column is where most readers stop, and it is the one most likely to mislead: it describes the rarest result a game can produce, not the one to plan a session around. On the 2500 that result is a 1 in 1,984,521 event. What the figure means in practice, and how it reads against the 96.52% RTP and the high volatility rating, is worked through on the RTP and max win page rather than here.
Why most Gates of Olympus sibling RTP values are blank
Unknown, not inferred
Two entries in these records carry an RTP: the 2500 at 96.52% and 1000 Dice at 96.5%. For the 2021 original, Super Scatter, Xmas 1000, Dice and Pachi the field is empty. That means no figure has been published into this data set - not that those games return less. Assuming a sibling matches the 2500 would be a guess, and this page does not make it.
There is a second reason to hold any single RTP figure loosely. The 2500 itself ships in three builds - 96.52%, 95.50% and 94.50% - and the casino, not the studio, decides which one runs. A published number is a default rather than a promise, so check the paytable in the game at whichever operator you use. The RTP and volatility page explains how to read the figure once you find it.

Specifications only take you so far with a high-volatility slot. Before committing money to any of them, spend a few hundred spins in the free Gates of Olympus 2500 demo - the distance between a 1 in 3.58 hit rate and a session that feels productive is something you have to sit through to understand. Match the variant to your priority, whether that is familiarity, a recent build or a stated RTP, rather than to the largest number in a column.
