Gates of Olympus RTP: same game, different price
Gates of Olympus comes in 3 RTP versions, from 96.5% down to 94.5%, and the casino picks which one you get. Same graphics, same features, but the lowest version takes 1.6 times as much of every bet. Here is what that costs and how to check.

Gates of Olympus in brief
Gates of Olympus is Pragmatic Play's Zeus slot: a 6 by 5 grid that pays for eight or more matching symbols anywhere, with tumbling wins and random multipliers that can stack up in free spins. The top prize is 5,000 times your stake. Long dry spells are normal, then a single multiplier hit can make the session.
Why there are 3 versions
Pragmatic Play sells the same game at several RTP settings and lets each casino choose. A lower RTP means the casino keeps more of every bet, and nothing on screen tells you which one you are playing. That is why we check: it is one of the biggest hidden differences between casinos running identical games.
How to check the RTP yourself
- Log in and open Gates of Olympus in real-money mode at the casino you want to check.
- Open the game menu and find the info, paytable or rules page.
- Find the theoretical RTP, usually near the bottom of the rules. It will say 96.5%, 95.51%, 94.5%, or a figure close to one of them if bonus buys have their own RTP.
- If it isn't 96.5%, play something else or play somewhere else. The game is identical; only the price changes.
