We simulated Gates of Olympus 1000 across nine stake/bankroll combinations at the 96.50% provider default, 10,000 sessions each (81,074,016 simulated spins in total). At $0.50 a spin against a $100 bankroll, 83.5% ±0.7 of sessions busted before the 2,000-spin cap and the median session ended with $0.31. Only one RTP version is documented for this title on our files, so this study reports the default-version behaviour.

Run it yourself in the live simulator. All figures are simulation-based observations, not predictions. See our methodology.

These are simulation-based observations from a model calibrated to the published RTP. Hit frequency and bonus frequency/value are estimates, flagged above; absolute bust levels carry that uncertainty, while the default-versus-floor comparison holds those inputs constant.

how long bankrolls survived

survival curves, share of sessions still alive vs spins played

At a $100 bankroll, the median session lasted 1652 spins at $0.20 a spin, 407 spins at $0.50, and 150 spins at $1.00. Stake-to-bankroll cover, not the game, decided how long the money lasted.

what a finished session looks like

final bankroll by percentile

At $0.50 on a $100 bankroll the median session ended with $0.31 of the original $100. The 90th percentile kept $339.42. In our model a bonus arrived about once every 330 spins on average (a modelled trigger rate, flagged). Most sessions drain toward zero while a few tails run long, which is what negative expectation looks like over many sessions.

methodology note

We simulate models calibrated to published math, not the provider's game engine. Results are sample-based observations from 81,074,016 simulated spins, with 95% confidence intervals. Hit frequency and bonus parameters are estimated and flagged. Slots are negative-expectation games; nothing here predicts outcomes or improves odds. Corrections policy: methodology.html.

Where the max win actually comes from

base 36%
feature 60%

62% of this game's RTP is locked inside the bonus you rarely trigger; the base game on its own returns just 36%.

A normal spin in our simulation never returned more than ~6,130x (€3,065). The 15,000x top win is a feature event, it only came out of the bonus. (base-game ceiling: model estimate)
