New Zealand edition

A Kiwi guide for a market changing under your feet.

Compare all nine Gates of Olympus games with stakes and win examples shown in NZD, then use the timeline below before considering an operator. New Zealand's new regime is moving through a live transition in 2026, so yesterday's availability is not enough to judge what is permitted next.

Recheck the rules before 1 December 2026

The Department of Internal Affairs says providers that were active before 1 May 2026 may continue only through the transition. From 1 December, only up to 15 auction-successful providers may operate under an exemption while applications are assessed; full licences and a public register are expected in early 2027.

Gates of Olympus RTP explained

What 96.50% RTP tells you—and what it cannot predict.

RTP is the share of all stakes a game pays back across an enormous number of random spins. Your own session can finish far above it, far below it or at zero. Use the number to compare versions—not to predict your next spin.

Common default
96.50%
Matching house edge
3.50%
Session guarantee
None

Put RTP into real numbers

See the long-run maths—without turning it into a forecast.

Change the stake and number of spins to see how much money passes through the game. The result below is statistical arithmetic across huge samples, not what your session should return.

Long-run return at 96.50%38.60 NZD
Theoretical long-run gap1.40 NZD

Your real balance can finish anywhere, including zero or above your starting amount. RTP only becomes useful as an average after a very large number of random rounds.

Published figures

Read each number in the right game.

A casino may offer a lower RTP setting than the headline default. Open the information panel in the exact game and mode you plan to use—especially before a Bonus Buy.

01

RTP is not hit frequency

Two games can publish the same RTP while one pays smaller wins more often and the other saves more value for rare features.

02

Maximum is not a target

A 50,000× ceiling describes the end of the possible range. It says nothing about what a normal session should reach.

03

Volatility shapes the ride

High volatility means more of the game’s return can sit in less frequent outcomes, making long losing stretches possible.

Checked The figure shown inside the game at your casino is the final one to use. A guide cannot override it.
