You want the core Gates experience
Start with the 2021 original. Its 5,000x ceiling keeps the maths gentler, and it is the version most guides and streams reference, so it is the easiest baseline to learn the pay-anywhere tumble rhythm on.

What counts as a Gates of Olympus sibling
This page lines up Gates of Olympus 2500 against the confirmed Pragmatic Play siblings that carry the Zeus theme - the original, Super Scatter, Xmas 1000, Dice, 1000 Dice and Pachi. Look-alike Olympus-branded slots from other studios are a different franchise and stay out of the comparison.
How the six Gates siblings differ from the 2500
All these slots share the same DNA - a Zeus theme, high volatility rated across the board, and (with one exception) a 6×5 scatter-pays grid. What separates them is the release order, the win ceiling and, in a couple of cases, the layout. Here is how each one sits next to Gates of Olympus 2500, which pairs a 96.52% default RTP with a 25,000x maximum win.
- Gates of Olympus (2021). The one that started it all. Same 6×5 grid, but the win ceiling is capped at 5,000x - a fifth of what the 2500 reaches. This is the reference point most players mean when they just say "Gates of Olympus".
- Gates of Olympus Super Scatter (2025). The heavyweight of the family. Its 50,000x maximum win is double the 2500's ceiling and the largest figure in the whole line-up, on the familiar 6×5 layout.
- Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 (2024). A festive reskin holding a 15,000x cap on the standard 6×5 grid - more headroom than the original, less than the 2500.
- Gates of Olympus 1000 Dice (2025). Also 15,000x on 6×5, and the only sibling here with a supplied RTP figure of 96.5% - effectively level with the 2500's 96.52% default.
- Gates of Olympus Dice (2024). A 5,000x ceiling on the 6×5 grid, matching the original's cap rather than the higher-limit entries.
- Gates of Olympus Pachi (2024). The outlier. It drops to a compact 3×3 layout and a 5,000x cap, so it plays quite differently from the six-reel siblings even though the theme is the same.
Read as a group, the pattern is clear: the theme and the high-variance feel stay constant, while the max-win ceiling climbs from 5,000x on the earliest and simplest builds to 25,000x on the 2500 and 50,000x on Super Scatter.
Why most sibling RTP figures are left blank
Unknown, not inferred
Only two entries here carry a confirmed RTP: the 2500 at 96.52% and 1000 Dice at 96.5%. For the original, Super Scatter, Xmas 1000, Dice and Pachi the RTP is simply not recorded in the supplied data, so it stays unknown, do not assume it matches the 2500 or any other sibling, since Pragmatic Play titles ship with configurable RTP versions.
Which Gates variant to research first
Which sibling deserves your attention depends on what you actually care about.
Pick by what you care about
You want the biggest ceiling
Super Scatter's 50,000x is the largest supplied figure in the family, with Gates of Olympus 2500 next at 25,000x. Both are high-variance, so treat those numbers as rare best cases rather than expected results, the top payout is a once-in-nearly-two-million-spins event on the 2500.
You want a confirmed RTP to plan around
Only the 2500 (96.52%) and 1000 Dice (96.5%) come with a stated return figure, which makes them the safer picks if you like knowing the number before you commit.
You want something that plays differently
Pachi's 3×3 grid is the change of pace; the rest keep the six-reel format.
For most readers weighing the 2500 specifically, the sensible move is to try it in a free session before staking anything, so the volatility is something you have felt rather than only read about. Match the variant to your priority, familiarity, ceiling or a stated RTP, rather than chasing the biggest number.
