1xBet carries Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 in its casino lobby, and every rule, payout, and mechanic below is taken directly from Pragmatic Play’s own in-client rules screens — the full seven-page rulebook, screen by screen — not paraphrased from a third-party summary. That matters here specifically, since this is a festive reskin of an already popular title, and reskins are exactly where reviews tend to copy old numbers instead of checking whether anything actually changed.

How the Base Game Pays
The game runs on a fixed 6-reel, 5-row grid with no traditional paylines — wins are formed by 8 or more matching symbols landing anywhere on the screen, regardless of position. As the rules screen states directly: only the total count of a symbol at the end of a spin determines the win, and when multiple symbols win on the same spin, all wins are added to the total.
Bets range from $0.20 to $300.00 per spin, confirmed directly on the rules screen — a wider top end than most Pragmatic Play titles, aimed at players chasing the game’s very high ceiling.

The Verified Paytable
Every value below is taken directly from the in-client paytable at the game’s own $2.00 reference bet, letting the real dollar payout and the underlying multiplier be checked against each other directly:
| Symbol | 12–30 symbols | 10–11 symbols | 8–9 symbols |
| Crown | $100.00 (50x) | $50.00 (25x) | $20.00 (10x) |
| Hourglass | $50.00 (25x) | $20.00 (10x) | $5.00 (2.5x) |
| Ring | $30.00 (15x) | $10.00 (5x) | $4.00 (2x) |
| Chalice | $24.00 (12x) | $4.00 (2x) | $3.00 (1.5x) |
| Red gem | $20.00 (10x) | $3.00 (1.5x) | $2.00 (1x) |
| Purple gem | $16.00 (8x) | $2.40 (1.2x) | $1.60 (0.8x) |
| Yellow gem | $10.00 (5x) | $2.00 (1x) | $1.00 (0.5x) |
| Green gem | $8.00 (4x) | $1.80 (0.9x) | $0.80 (0.4x) |
| Blue gem | $4.00 (2x) | $1.50 (0.75x) | $0.50 (0.25x) |
The Crown is the single highest-paying symbol on the board at 50x for 12 or more, and it’s the only symbol whose 10–11 tier (25x) still beats every other symbol’s top 12+ tier except its own — a genuine two-tier gap above everything else on the reel set.
Scatter (the Santa-hat Zeus symbol): appears on all reels, pays on any position, and its own count-based payout runs separately from the free spins trigger: 6 scatters pay $200.00 (100x), 5 pay $10.00 (5x), and 4 pay $6.00 (3x) — meaning landing the free spins trigger itself always comes with a guaranteed cash payout on top, before a single free spin is even played.
There is no wild symbol in this game.
The Tumble Feature
After every winning spin, the winning symbols are paid and removed. The remaining symbols drop to fill the gaps, new symbols fall in from above, and the process repeats for as long as new wins keep forming — there is no cap on the number of tumbles in a single sequence. All wins from every tumble in that sequence are added together and paid to the balance only once the entire chain finishes, not tumble by tumble.
Multiplier Symbols — The Full Verified List
Multiplier orbs can land on any reel, during any spin or tumble, in both the base game and free spins. The rules screen lists the complete set of possible values directly — there are 16 distinct multiplier values, not a vague “up to” range:
2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, or 1000x
When a tumble sequence ends, every multiplier orb visible on the screen at that moment has its value added together, and the combined total multiplies the entire win from that sequence. Landing two orbs worth 50x and 100x on the same sequence, for example, doesn’t multiply the win by 50 and then by 100 — it multiplies the win once, by their sum of 150x.
Free Spins: The Exact Mechanic
Triggering the feature: 4 or more scatters landing anywhere on the screen award 15 free spins to start the round.
How the multiplier behaves differently here than in the base game: whenever a multiplier orb lands during free spins and contributes to a winning tumble, its value is added to a running total multiplier that persists for the rest of the round. From that point forward, every subsequent winning tumble in the round is multiplied by the full accumulated total — not just the orbs present on that specific spin. This is the mechanical difference that makes free spins the real source of this game’s biggest wins: value keeps compounding across the whole round instead of resetting every tumble.
Retriggers: landing 3 or more scatters at any point during the free spins round awards 5 additional free spins, on top of whatever remains. The rules screen also notes that special reels are in play specifically during the free spins round — a detail confirming the odds during the feature aren’t drawn from the identical reel strips used in the base game.
Gates of Olympus X-Mas 1000 Interface
Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins
The game offers two distinct ways to influence how often the free spins round is reached, and they’re mutually exclusive:
- Ante Bet: increases the total bet by 25% (reflected directly in the $300 maximum bet, 25% above the base $240 ceiling) in exchange for doubling the natural chance of triggering free spins, achieved by increasing how often scatter symbols appear on the reels. Activating Ante Bet disables the Buy Free Spins option entirely.
- Buy Free Spins: instantly triggers the free spins round from the base game for a flat cost of 100x the current total bet, with 4 scatters guaranteed to land on the triggering spin. This option is only available when Ante Bet is switched off.
RTP and Volatility, Verified Per Mode
The rules screen states three separate RTP figures depending on which mode is active — a level of transparency worth taking at face value rather than reducing to a single headline number:
- Base RTP: 96.50%
- RTP with Ante Bet active: 96.50% — identical to the base rate, confirming the extra 25% cost and doubled trigger frequency are balanced to cancel out rather than shift the long-run return either way
- RTP with Buy Free Spins: 96.49% — a negligible 0.01-point difference from the base rate, meaning buying the feature outright costs essentially nothing in terms of long-run return compared to reaching it naturally
Some operators may run configured builds at lower RTP settings (95.00% or 94.00% versions of this title do circulate), so it’s worth checking the specific info panel on the account being played from rather than assuming the top figure applies everywhere.
The Maximum Win, and What Happens When It’s Reached
The maximum win is capped at 15,000x the triggering bet. This isn’t just a marketing ceiling — the rules screen spells out the exact mechanical consequence: if the running total of a round reaches 15,000x at any point, the round ends immediately, the win is paid up to that cap, and every remaining feature — including any free spins still owed from a retrigger — is forfeited on the spot. A round sitting on a large retriggered free spins balance with a high accumulated multiplier can end mid-sequence the instant the cap is crossed, with no further spins played out.

A Worked Example: How the Accumulated Multiplier Actually Compounds
Take a round where the free spins feature has already been running for a while, and the accumulated multiplier has reached 40x from orbs collected on earlier spins.
- A new tumble sequence lands a winning combination of 12 Ring symbols (12x the bet) alongside a fresh 20x multiplier orb.
- The 20x orb is added to the existing 40x total, bringing the running multiplier to 60x.
- That updated 60x total is then applied to the entire win from the sequence: 12x (the Ring win) × 60x = 720x the bet from that single tumble sequence.
The next winning sequence in the same round, even with a smaller raw symbol win, starts from that same 60x baseline rather than from zero — which is exactly why a free spins round that survives several multiplier hits can escalate very quickly toward the 15,000x cap, while an identical raw win landing early in the round, before the multiplier has built up, is worth a fraction of the same combination later on.

Interface and Settings
The full control set, taken directly from the game’s own interface guide:
- + and − buttons change the bet value and open the bet menu, where coin value and total bet can both be adjusted
- Spin-speed icon cycles between normal, quick spin, and turbo spin; holding the space bar triggers turbo spin directly
- Sound icon toggles all audio on or off in one tap
- Settings menu (gear icon) opens four toggles: Intro Screen (on/off), Ambient (background sound and music), Sound FX (effects specifically), and Game History (a dedicated log of past spins)
- CREDIT and BET labels can be clicked directly to switch between a coins view and a cash view
- Autoplay button opens a dedicated automatic-play menu, and pressing it again mid-session stops the sequence immediately
- Malfunction clause: stated directly on the rules screen — any malfunction voids all pays and plays for that round
