Gates of Olympus bonus buy: 77.78% of buys returned less than they cost
Model basis: feature-round returns are modelled as a calibrated heavy-tailed (capped log-normal) distribution, mean set to 96.5% (base RTP (buy RTP not published, modelled, flagged)), tail scaled to the 5,000x ceiling. Providers do not publish feature-round distributions, so this is a model, not observed data, flagged per our methodology.
What we modelled
| field | value |
|---|---|
| provider | Pragmatic Play |
| base RTP | 96.5% |
| buy options | 100x |
| max win | 5,000x |
| simulated | 100,000 buys per option |
What a 100x buy actually returns
- Average return: 96.5% of the buy cost, the house edge applies to the buy too.
- Median (typical) return: 0.32x the buy cost, far below average, because rare big hits drag the mean up.
- 77.78% of buys returned less than the buy cost (62.11% returned less than half).
- 11.06% doubled or better; 1.13% hit 10x the buy or more.
- Biggest win in 100,000 buys: 50x the buy (5,000x stake). Hitting the 5,000x ceiling: 0.046% of buys.

The honest read
A bonus buy is a single high-variance bet. The average is not the typical outcome: most buys here returned less than they cost, and the rare big multipliers that lift the average are exactly that, rare. Buying the feature does not improve your odds, it pays to skip to them. 18+, this is analysis, not betting advice.
Where Gates of Olympus runs at the top version
Rainbet was among the casinos our 2026-06 version scan confirmed running the 96.50% version of Gates of Olympus, the highest published, and it was not the only one: the scan confirmed several operators on the top version. A sighting is a dated observation, not a guarantee: versions move, so check the RTP in the game’s info panel on the day you play. A higher version returns more of what you stake on average; the game stays negative-expectation either way.
