Choose your bet, then spin a 6x5 grid set in Ancient Greece and Mythology. Wins form from matching symbols anywhere on the grid, with no paylines, and a win needs at least 8 matching symbols. When a win lands, the winning symbols are removed, new symbols drop in from above, and the round carries on. This tumble mechanic repeats as long as new wins form, with no limit on tumbles in one spin.
Decide early whether to play Double Chance mode, which costs 1.25x the standard bet and doubles the natural Free Spins frequency. What sets this slot apart is the Multiplier. Orbs land at random with values from 2x to 1,000x. In Free Spins, each orb that lands on a winning spin adds its value to a total that never resets, up to a 15,000x cap.
Three modes to know
Read this before you start a bet, or when a round of free spins begins.
Keep spinning until 4+ SCATTER symbols land anywhere, which triggers 15 spins with special reels active. Each MULTIPLIER orb that lands on a winning spin adds its value to a total that never resets. A 3+ SCATTER retrigger adds 5 spins. A 15000x cap is enforced.

Start a bet on the 6x5 pay-anywhere grid, which carries a 20x bet multiplier. Winning symbols vanish and the grid refills from above. Multiplier orbs land at random, worth 2x to 1000x each, and their sum applies to the whole tumble total.
Placing a betTumble wins
Pick Double Chance to play at a 25x bet multiplier, which is 1.25x the standard bet. Extra SCATTER symbols on special reels double the natural Free Spins frequency. The higher stake applies to every spin in this mode.

Choose whether to buy the bonus at 100 times the bet, which is A$1,000 at the top example bet of A$10.

After these screens you know the grid, the bonus round and the base game.
Round guide
Spree Casino follows the order the game itself uses, so each step matches the screen.
Pick a bet between A$0.20 and A$125 before the first spin. Every win is a multiple of that stake, so the bet sets what each result pays in money.
Look for eight matching symbols anywhere on the 6x5 grid, because adjacent positions are not needed to pay. Winning symbols are removed and new ones fall in from above.
Watch for MULTIPLIER orbs, which land at random with values from 2x to 1000x. Their values are summed and applied to the full tumble total.
Land four or more Zeus Scatter symbols to start 15 Free Spins. Once in, the total multiplier builds and never resets, and three or more Zeus Scatter symbols add 5 spins.
Set a budget and stop point before the first spin. Results cannot be predicted, so stop when the budget is gone.
Choosing Double Chance over the standard bet means staking 1.25x more per spin for extra Scatter symbols on special reels. Whether the bonus round arrives on the next spin, much later, or not at all is not known in advance. Every spin is random, so the outcome of one session stays open however the odds are set.
Deciding which RTP version to play starts with the game rules, because the version running in a given game is shown only there. Both versions sit close together, so the gap between them is small compared with the randomness of any single session. Check the rules before the first spin, not after.
Chasing the top prize means aiming for x15,000 the bet, a ceiling in Gates of Olympus 1000 that players reach very rarely. Reaching it depends on the bonus features lining up, and no session can be planned around that. Treat the maximum win as a limit on the payout, not a target.
Gates of Olympus 1000
Read this before opening the game lobby or placing the first bet on this slot.
Choosing Buy Free Spins costs 100 times the bet, which is A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet. That option is disabled while Double Chance is active. Opting for the Ante Bet raises the stake by 25 percent, to A$12.50 at A$10.
Start at the minimum bet of A$0.20 to learn the rules before raising the stake. Read the paytable at A$0.40 per spin so you can see what each symbol pays at that stake.
Choosing a bet sets your top prize: the maximum win is 15,000 times the stake, so A$150,000 at A$10 and A$1,875,000 at the highest bet allowed here, A$125. No one can know in advance whether a session reaches it.
Picking Gates of Olympus 1000 gives the same 96.50 RTP version and 15,000 times maximum win as Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000. Playing Gates of Olympus Super Scatter means a 50,000 times maximum win, and Gates of Olympus POP has a 97.05 RTP.
Comparing the RTP versions, 96.49 and 96.50, comes down to one figure: the share of stakes returned over a long run. On the 96.50 version, A$96.50 comes back for every A$100 staked on average, though short sessions can end well above or below that figure.
