Games like Gates of Olympus
If you just want Gates of Olympus with something else on the screen, play Starlight Princess. We loaded the free demos of both, and the paytable, the orbs and the odds on the top win match number for number. For something calmer there's Fruit Party or Le Bandit, and the 1000 version goes higher if that's what you're after.

How the orbs pay
Zeus throws the orbs, and they can come on any spin, base game included. Nothing happens with them until the tumbling stops on a win, then whatever is on screen gets added together and that's your multiplier. Free spins are better, because there the orbs pile up into one total that carries on to the last spin.
Where Gates players went on Stake
On Stake the original Gates has slipped a long way. Last month it ranked 115th by money wagered, while the Super Scatter edition was third out of more than 9,000 games and the 1000 seventh. Gates of Olympus 2500 only arrived there in late September and is already fourth.

Same orbs, other theme
Starlight Princess (Pragmatic Play)
Starlight Princess redraws the whole thing in anime style, a princess floating where Zeus stood, and that's honestly the only reason to switch. If you're tired of looking at Zeus, go for it. Don't expect it to pay any differently.
| Gates of Olympus | Starlight Princess | Gates of Olympus 1000 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orb values | x2 to x500, 15 steps | x2 to x500, same 15 steps | x2 to x1,000, 16 steps |
| Top symbol, 8-9 / 10-11 / 12+ | 10x / 25x / 50x | 10x / 25x / 50x | 10x / 25x / 50x |
| Lowest symbol, 8-9 / 10-11 / 12+ | 0.25x / 0.75x / 2x | 0.25x / 0.75x / 2x | 0.25x / 0.75x / 2x |
| Scatters 4 / 5 / 6+ | 3x / 5x / 100x | 3x / 5x / 100x | 3x / 5x / 100x |
| RTP fields | 96.50 regular, ante, buy | 96.50 regular, ante, buy | 96.50 regular and ante, 96.49 buy |
| Top win, plain bet | 5,000x | 5,000x | 15,000x |
| Top win, ante on | 4,000x | 4,000x | 12,000x |
| Odds of the top win | 1 in 697,350 | 1 in 697,350 | 1 in 2,749,771 |
Read from the init response of the free demo (gameService), times the total bet. With the ante a spin costs 1.25x, so 4,000x of that stake is the same money as 5,000x of the plain bet (our reading). Bigwinboard gives 1 in 697,350 for the Gates 1000 top win; the demo data says 1 in 2,749,771.
Thinking about the ante? It costs 25% extra per spin to double your chance at free spins, while the biggest possible payout, in dollars, doesn't change. The demo data caps an ante spin at 4,000x of the bigger stake, which works out to the same 5,000x of your plain bet.
If Gates swings too hard
Fruit Party (Pragmatic Play)
Fruit Party is kinder to a small balance. A hit comes roughly every 2.7 spins, and inside a winning cluster the random x2 multipliers multiply each other, up to x256. Bigwinboard rates it 3.5 of 5 for volatility.
Le Bandit (Hacksaw Gaming)
Le Bandit is the one with the raccoon, and for a 2023 game it still gets played a lot on Stake (its rank is in the table up top). It's gentler than Gates. The thing to wait for is the Rainbow, because that's when the Golden Squares pay out as coins.
Candy Blitz (Pragmatic Play)
Candy Blitz moves the multiplier onto its own reel standing next to the grid, and symbols still pay in any position, Olympus style. In the bonus that reel can't show anything below x2.
