THE PLAYER ATLASNine ways into Olympus

Independently reviewedHow we check facts

Ireland edition

Compare the games in euro — and the licence category separately.

This Irish edition puts RTP, volatility, bonus features and euro stake examples side by side without treating every gambling product as one licence. Ireland's new regulator is opening the regime in phases, so the correct check is the operator, the product and the current application stage.

GRAI licensing is being opened in phases

GRAI opened remote and in-person betting licence applications on 9 February 2026, with other licence types following the regulator's phased timetable. An application or notice of intent is not an approval for every casino product, so check the current category before any real-money play.

Clear answers

Gates of Olympus FAQ

Is this the first Gates of Olympus game?

Yes. Pragmatic Play released the original in February 2021, and the later 1000, Dice and Super Scatter editions all build on or remix this starting point.

What is the published maximum win?

The official game page lists a maximum win of up to 5,000× the stake. It is a ceiling, not a typical session result.

Can I try Gates of Olympus without using real money?

Yes. Open the play-money demo on this page to learn the controls and feature flow. Demo results do not predict a real-money session.

What should I check before playing Gates of Olympus for real?

Check the information panel inside the exact casino game. Confirm its RTP, betting limits and feature price, because an operator can offer settings that differ from the published 96.50% default reference shown here.
