The festive edition of the Gates of Olympus slot brings a new twist to this popular Greek mythology-themed game. With expanding reels and 1000 ways to win, UK players have even more chances to hit big wins this Christmas at NineWin Casino.

The slot features all the characters you know and love from the original Gates of Olympus game, along with some yuletide cheer in the form of festive symbols on the reels. The gameplay and features remain largely the same, providing a familiar experience for fans while giving the slot a seasonal makeover.

Payline Description

Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 does away with paylines altogether, using the innovative MultiWay Xtra format to provide players with 1000 ways to win on every spin. Unlike traditional slots where players must hit symbols on enabled paylines, any adjacent matching symbols from the leftmost reel can result in a payout regardless of the position on the reels.

This opens up ample winning potential, especially when combined with the expanding reels feature where reels can expand up to a massive 7 rows tall. With more positions and no paylines, forming wins becomes easier. Even landing just two adjacent Zeus icons can pay out.

Free Play Mode

Trying Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 in free play mode allows players to test out the gameplay and special features without any risk. UK players can access the free play version directly in the NineWin lobby, using free credits.

The free play slot is identical to the real money one, offering the same RTP rate, volatility, special features, symbols and math model behind the reels. This makes it ideal for practice and trying new strategies risk-free. Players can determine if they like the slot before deciding to play for real cash.
