Original research
Spin simulator & odds data
Run the simulator below to feel how a high-volatility slot behaves, then dig into our 40-million-spin study of what the published numbers actually mean over time. Built from the game's stated RTP, hit rate and bonus frequency — transparent, and honest about what a model can and can't show.
Try it yourself
Gates of Olympus Super Scatter simulator
Pick a number of spins and a bet, then run it. Each run is a fresh random session on a model tuned to the real game's averages. Run it a few times — the wild swings between sessions are the whole point of a high-volatility slot.
This is a statistical model calibrated to the game's published RTP (96.50%), hit frequency (27.78%) and bonus rate (~1 in 438). It is not the game's real RNG and can't predict actual results — it shows what those published numbers feel like over many spins. Real play is for entertainment only; never stake money you can't afford to lose.
The study
What 40 million spins reveal
One session tells you almost nothing on a game this volatile. So we ran the model 40,000,000 times. The averages land exactly where the published figures say they should — and they expose how top-heavy the payouts really are.
Where the money actually comes from
The bonus round triggers on only about 0.23% of spins, yet it delivered most of the total return. The base game keeps you busy; the bonus is where the value hides — which is exactly why patience and bankroll control matter more than anything on this slot.
Most wins are smaller than your bet
The single most useful thing the data shows: a "win" usually isn't a profit. Here's every winning spin, by size.
How often does a session actually profit?
We ran hundreds of thousands of fixed-length sessions. Even a long session is more likely to end down than up.
| Session length | Ended in profit | Ended in loss |
|---|---|---|
| 100 spins | 14.9% | 85.1% |
| 300 spins | 19% | 81.0% |
| 500 spins | 20.2% | 79.8% |

Key takeaways
- Across 40 million simulated spins, the model returned 96.28% — in line with the published 96.50% RTP.
- 80.7% of all winning spins paid back less than the bet that triggered them.
- The bonus round produced 61.7% of all money returned, despite hitting on roughly 0.23% of spins.
- Only 14.9% of 100-spin sessions ended in profit; even at 500 spins it was 20.2%.
- The longest run without any win was 49 spins in a row.
How this works
Methodology & honest limits
We don't have access to Pragmatic Play's internal reel maths, and nobody outside the studio does. So this is a statistical model, not a copy of the game. We calibrated it to the three figures the provider publishes: an RTP of 96.50%, a hit frequency of 27.78%, and a bonus that triggers about once in 438 spins. The payout distribution is then shaped to reproduce those averages, including the documented Super Scatter prizes up to the 50,000× ceiling.
Over a large sample the model lands on those published numbers, which is what makes the aggregate behaviour — value concentration, win-size split, session outcomes — a fair illustration of the real game. What it cannot do is predict any individual spin or session, or replace the live RTP and rules shown in the game itself. Use it to understand the shape of the maths, not to chase a result.
Every figure on this page comes from a single fixed 40-million-spin run plus hundreds of thousands of session simulations. Re-running the live tool above will give different short-run results, exactly as real play would.
