The Core Mechanic: Scatter Pays Anywhere
Unlike traditional pokies with paylines, Gates of Olympus SUPER SCATTER uses a scatter pays system where symbols pay based on total count anywhere on the screen. You need a minimum of 8 matching symbols visible at the end of a spin to win. The premium red sphere with crown symbol pays $10.00 for 12-30 symbols, $5.00 for 10-11, and $2.00 for 8-9. The green globe with map artwork pays $5.00 for 12-30 matches.
Tumble Feature Explained
After every winning combination pays out, those winning symbols disappear from the grid. The remaining symbols fall to the bottom, and empty positions are filled from above with new symbols. This tumbling continues automatically until no new winning combinations form. Importantly, all wins from the entire cascade sequence are added together before being multiplied by any collected multiplier values.
Multiplier Symbol Mechanics
During the base game, multiplier symbols can randomly land on any of the six reels. These circular golden coins display values ranging from 2x to 500x. When the tumble sequence ends, all visible multiplier values are added together, and your total win from that spin is multiplied by the combined value. For example, if you collect a 5x, 10x, and 3x during tumbles, your win is multiplied by 18x.
The SUPER SCATTER symbol is the key to massive instant wins. Four SUPER SCATTER symbols anywhere on screen instantly awards 50,000x your bet—the maximum possible win in the game.
Free Spins Round Strategy
The Free Spins feature is where Gates of Olympus SUPER SCATTER truly shines. You trigger it by landing 4, 5, or 6 SCATTER symbols (including SUPER SCATTER) anywhere on the reels. The round begins with 15 free spins on special reels with different symbol distribution. The critical difference: multiplier values don't reset between spins. Instead, each multiplier that lands is added to a growing total multiplier that applies to your entire accumulated win at the end of the bonus.
During Free Spins, landing 3 or more SCATTER symbols awards 5 additional spins. The multiplier can grow substantially during a long bonus round, especially if you retrigger multiple times. Note that SUPER SCATTER symbols do not appear during Free Spins—they only appear in the base game.
Buy Feature Options
Australian players can purchase direct entry to the Free Spins round. The standard Buy Free Spins costs 100x your current bet and guarantees 4-6 SCATTER symbols will land on the next spin, triggering the bonus with the standard 15 spins. The Buy SUPER Free Spins costs 500x your bet but starts the bonus with a guaranteed minimum 10x multiplier already active, significantly boosting your potential win.
Volatility and What It Means
Gates of Olympus SUPER SCATTER is rated as high volatility, indicated by five lightning bolts in the game interface. In practical terms, this means wins occur less frequently than lower volatility pokies, but when they hit, they have the potential to be substantially larger. You may experience longer dry spells between significant wins, but the 50,000x maximum win potential compensates for this. The high volatility suits players with larger bankrolls who can withstand variance in pursuit of big multiplier combinations.
