Is Gates of Olympus a sequel?

Rumour has it that Gates of Olympus is the sequel to Sweet Bonanza which is still a huge success after having been released several years ago. However, you must ask the question, that what is it that leads experts in the casino industry to believe that Gates of Olympus is a sequel to Sweet Bonanza? After all these are two totally different themes that are worlds apart.

Features and Game Play

To work out how the two slots resemble each other you need to look at the random number generator (RNG) which is an algorithm which produces numbers at random. In slots these figures are used to work out the chance you have of landing a decent win or activating a rare feature where available.

Both Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus sport the same return to player and both slots pay both ways providing players with the chance to activate the free spins with a side bet (available in some markets). Both have a large grid which enables players to see the wins as they fall into place on the 6-reels and 5-rows. They both also offer multipliers that can boost winning combinations by 100x, and they have a scatter pay mechanic.

Despite these similarities the themes are worlds apart and there are other differences too. To start the maximum win in Gates of Olympus is down to 5,000x the stake rather than the 21,100x that Sweet Bonanza claims to offer. The other major difference it the bet range as Gates of Olympus provides players with the chance to bet up to £125 per spin and a higher volatility which means that high rollers and hard-core gamblers will love it.

Conclusion

Be sure to mark 25th February in your diary as this is the day that Gates of Olympus is set to be released and this is one slot game that you are not going to want to miss.
