Pragmatic Play has demonstrated its affection for Greek mythology on several occasions by delivering hit titles with a wide range of engaging mechanics and beautifully crafted themes. Gates of Olympus, Wisdom of Athena, and Zeus vs Hades - Gods of War are among the most popular ones, highly regarded by players worldwide, offering powerful gameplay based on fan-favourite features. On 15 December 2025, another riveting release joins the line-up to bring even more excitement and big wins carried by ancient divine powers. Fortune of Olympus builds on one of the supplier's top performers, while adding extra betting options and new win potential. Today, we speak with Anastasios Ioannidis, Affiliate Manager at ARRISE, to learn more about the game and the reasons behind its creation.
1. Hello, and thank you for joining AboutSlots in this Q&A. Gates of Olympus is an unquestionable hit that still occupies high positions in many online casino lobbies. Does it hold this kind of status from the internal perspective as well?
AI: Definitely! To this day, the original Gates of Olympus is held in high regard among both players and the entire Pragmatic Play team. It has been a standout success – one of the industry’s biggest and most enduringly popular games.
With tumbling spins, pays-anywhere mechanics, random multipliers awarding up to 500x, and an impressive audiovisual presentation, the multi-award-winning game made a massive impact when it first struck in 2021. These powerful foundations paved the way for a whole generation of almighty gameplay experiences.
2. Greek mythology is one of the more popular narratives in online slots. How does Pragmatic Play ensure a title stands out when creating a game in such a prevalent genre?
AI: While there may be many common narrative and thematic elements in any Greek mythology game, there is always room to flex a bit of creative flare when exploring such a versatile and exciting theme. It’s a popular slots genre for a reason, with such vibrant, heroic imagery lending itself to action-packed gameplay and escalating win potential.
There are high expectations when building on such a legacy, but it’s a challenge that Pragmatic Play relishes when expanding such a great game franchise. In the latest instalment in the epic Greek Gods series, Fortune of Olympus, Zeus now sits atop his throne, ruling over the reels in glory and with almighty muscle mass. This is an unashamedly bold and epic interpretation of the infamous King of the Gods – and the gameplay is every bit as meaty.
3. In Fortune of Olympus, the pays-anywhere mechanic that accompanied the Gates of Olympus series makes way for cluster pays. How might this benefit players?
AI: All games in the series have featured scatter pays, until now. With its large 7x7 grid, Fortune of Olympus awards wins when 5-15+ matching symbols land in clusters on the reels. The top non-multiplier reward in the base game is worth 150x the player’s bet – that’s three times higher than in the original Gates of Olympus slot. And with tumbling reels in play, there’s always a chance to hit a big cluster.
4. Judging by Pragmatic Play's portfolio right now, which of those two win mechanics seems to be more attractive for the players?
AI: They are equally attractive. It really depends on the overall player experience and whether one particular win mechanic works better than the other. In Fortune of Olympus, cluster pays introduces a new way for fans of the series to hit big wins.
5. Are there other significant differences between Gates of Olympus and Fortune of Olympus that will affect the way the new game is played?
AI: Fortune of Olympus builds on a theme that players love. Mount Olympus provides the backdrop for another feature-rich experience, but this time Zeus’ gold-spangled throne room sets the scene for epic wins of up to 10,000x.
Four special bets are now available to players in certain markets. These amp up the gaming experience or win potential in some way, such as by increasing the chance to trigger free spins or guaranteeing a minimum 50x multiplier on every spin in the base game.
Gameplay is taken to a whole new level in the bonus game, which has been supercharged with up to 30 free spins and can be retriggered! During the feature, each random multiplier of up to 500x that hits is added to a total multiplier that applies to all subsequent wins in the round. In previous titles, the total multiplier applies only to wins that include a new multiplier. So, Fortune of Olympus offers the chance to land a marathon of free spins with a progressive multiplier that strikes on every winning spin and tumble. In select markets, players can also buy entry to Free Spins or Super Free Spins, in which the minimum multiplier rises to 5x.
6. Fortune of Olympus rounds out another bumper year for Pragmatic Play slots. What can players expect as we move into the new year?
AI: The same sense of momentum and a few sweet surprises along the way! With around nine new slots a month releasing across the network in 2026, including January’s modern classic Joker’s Jewels Hold & Spin and Sugar Rush Super Scatter with its oh-so-tasty 50,000x win potential, it’s set to be another mighty year of slots action from Pragmatic Play. Zeus will also be back in action after the festive break when he takes on his brother once more in .
Thank you for sharing these exciting insights with our readers. We wish Pragmatic Play and your team a successful year ahead.
