Olympus Glory
Olympus Glory is the second game we have found carrying Amusnet’s maximum 5/5 volatility rating — and unlike the first, it pairs that risk with a real reward. The published ceiling is 5,000× the line bet across just ten lines, roughly 500× your total stake, against Age of Troy’s 50×.
The RTP is 96.23%, upper-quartile for this studio. Zeus is both wild and scatter: three or more anywhere award 10 free spins with a randomly chosen expanding symbol that fills whole reels.

Play Olympus Glory Free
The demo above runs the same 96.23% math as real play, and on a 5/5 volatility game that matters more than usual. What you want to watch for is the free-spins round — the expanding symbol is where this game’s entire top end lives, and a demo session will show you how the round actually behaves without costing anything. This demo is part of our EGT demo games library.
Olympus Glory at a Glance
How Olympus Glory Plays
Olympus Glory is Amusnet’s Mount Olympus slot, released on 25 November 2015 under game ID 819. The studio’s description is short but does the important work: “High on Mount Olympus, you will have the chance to meet the Father of the Gods — Zeus — and spin for some glorious prizes. He will award you with divine Free Spins and a special expanding symbol.”
Structurally it is a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 10 paylines — a small board by this studio’s standards, and that turns out to matter a great deal for the arithmetic.
Zeus does two jobs. He is the wild, substituting for the paying symbols — one source describes his lightning bolts obliterating other symbols to open extra winning lines — and he is also the scatter. Three or more Zeus symbols anywhere on the reels, with no payline requirement, open the free-spins round. That dual role is unusual and it is the mechanical heart of the game.
The round itself awards 10 free spins, and this is where the special expanding symbol arrives. At the start of the round one symbol is picked at random; for the rest of the round, wherever that symbol lands it expands to fill the reel. Land it on three reels and it covers them completely. Anyone who has played Book of Ra will recognise the shape of it immediately.
The Story Behind Olympus Glory
Amusnet publishes a volatility rating on every game page, on a five-point scale, and almost everything sits at 1, 2 or 3. Olympus Glory is rated 5 out of 5 — the maximum — and it is the second such game we have reviewed, after Age of Troy.
Those two are worth putting side by side, because they show that the same rating can mean very different bargains.
Age of Troy: 96.01% RTP, twenty lines, a published max win of 1,000× the bet per line. Spread across twenty lines that is roughly 50× your total bet.
Olympus Glory: 96.23% RTP, ten lines, a published max win of 5,000× the bet per line. Spread across ten lines that is roughly 500× your total bet.
Same maximum variance rating from the same studio. A better return, and ten times the ceiling. Both sets of figures come from Amusnet’s own pages. When we reviewed Age of Troy we said this game was the one to look at first if you wanted maximum variance from this catalogue; having now looked at it properly, that still holds.
There is one caveat, and we will get to it in the comparison section: 500× is a big ceiling but it is not the biggest here.
Symbols and Paytable
Amusnet publishes no symbol table for Olympus Glory. What follows is what the studio and the databases actually establish.
| Zeus — wild and scatter at once | The defining symbol. He substitutes for the paying symbols as a wild, and three or more of him anywhere on the reels trigger the free spins as a scatter would. One source describes his lightning bolts obliterating other symbols to create additional winning lines. Amusnet names him in its own description. |
|---|---|
| The special expanding symbol | Not a fixed symbol — one is chosen at random at the start of every free-spins round. For the duration it expands to fill any reel it lands on. Reported to pay from anywhere rather than needing an active payline, though that specific detail comes from a secondary source rather than the studio. |
| The gods and the temple symbols | SlotCatalog’s theme tags — gods, Greece, Olympus, mountains, sky — match the artwork Amusnet describes. No source publishes per-symbol pay values. |
| What nobody publishes | Symbol pay values, hit frequency, and whether the ten lines are fixed or selectable. Amusnet lists “Paylines: 10” and stops. |
Read the 5,000× as a line figure. Across ten active lines your total stake is ten times the line bet, so the published ceiling is worth roughly 500× your total bet. The small board is doing you a favour here — the same per-line figure on a fifty-line game would be worth a tenth as much.
Bonus Features
5/5 volatility with a ceiling that justifies it
Amusnet rates this at the top of its own five-point scale, and unlike Age of Troy — the other 5/5 — it backs that with a published max win of 5,000× the bet per line. Across ten lines that is about 500× your total stake, ten times what Age of Troy offers for the identical variance rating. This is what the high-volatility trade is supposed to look like.
Zeus is wild and scatter at the same time
A genuinely unusual dual role. He substitutes for paying symbols, and three or more of him anywhere on the reels — no payline needed — open the free-spins round. Two independent sources agree on the three-symbol trigger, and Amusnet names Zeus as the source of both the free spins and the expanding symbol in its own description.
A random expanding symbol, chosen fresh each round
10 free spins, and at the start of each round one symbol is selected at random to become the expanding symbol. Wherever it lands it fills the whole reel; on three reels it covers them entirely. The official Special Features string is “Free Spins with Special Expanding Symbol” and SlotCatalog independently tags the game with Expanding Symbols. If you know Book of Ra, you know this feature.
96.23% — upper quartile for this studio
Verified on Amusnet’s official page and matched exactly by SlotCatalog and VegasSlotsOnline. It ranks sixth of the twenty-seven Amusnet games in our catalogue, sitting between Fruits Kingdom at 96.25% and Amazons’ Battle at 96.17%, and comfortably above the entire Super Hot line.
But Fruits Kingdom beats it on all three numbers
Honesty requires this one. Fruits Kingdom also runs ten lines, returns 96.25%, is rated 4/5 rather than 5/5, and publishes a max win of 10,000× per line — about 1,000× your total bet, double this game’s ceiling. Higher return, lower risk, bigger top end, same studio, all from official pages. Olympus Glory is the better of the two 5/5 games; it is not the best big-ceiling machine here.
There is another Olympus Glory, by the other company
EGT Digital — the separate modern studio — ships Olympus Glory Gods & Kings Link. It runs 25 or 50 selectable lines against this game’s fixed ten, lists different features, and publishes no RTP, volatility or max win at all. It is one of only four games on EGT Digital’s Gods & Kings Link jackpot roster. Every figure on this page belongs to the Amusnet game.
Jackpot Cards — described by the databases, not by the studio
VegasSlotsOnline describes a “Jackpot Card Bonus” on this title, awarded at random at any time, in which you climb four levels towards four different jackpots by selecting playing cards. SlotCatalog independently tags the game with a progressive jackpot. That is the four-level Jackpot Cards progressive Amusnet runs across its range: it fires at random at the end of any paid spin, twelve face-down cards appear, and you keep turning them until three of one suit match, with Clubs at the bottom and Spades at the top.
The caveat is the one we apply every time the studio stays quiet. Amusnet’s official page for Olympus Glory does not mention a jackpot at all. On Dice & Roll, Extra Stars, Flaming Hot and Caramel Hot it names the progressive itself; here it does not. So the accurate description is the network-wide feature offered at participating casinos, which may or may not be running on the machine in front of you.
It also sits outside the published 96.23%, which describes the reels only. Check the four counters are above the reels before you assume it is live.
The Gamble Feature, Properly Explained
Amusnet lists Gamble among the game’s features without describing it, as usual. The form across the range is the red-or-black card guess: after a win you can risk it on the colour of a face-down card, doubling if you call correctly and losing it all if you do not.
One source adds that wins below 7,000 coins can be gambled on this title. No denomination is stated, so the figure does not convert into anything useful — though it is worth noting the same source gives different coin limits on other games in this range, so these ceilings do appear to vary per game rather than being one house default.
The maths of a colour call is neutral before the house edge and slightly negative after it. It does not raise your expected return; it widens the spread of outcomes. On a game already rated 5 out of 5 for variance, stacking a doubling ladder on top compounds precisely the thing that makes this machine hard to sit through.
- Maximum 5/5 volatility paired with a genuine ceiling — roughly 500× your total bet, ten times what the other 5/5 game offers
- 96.23% is verified officially, matched by two databases, and ranks sixth of twenty-seven Amusnet games here
- Zeus working as both wild and scatter is a genuinely unusual and well-corroborated mechanic
- The random expanding symbol gives the free-spins round real variety — a different symbol every time
- 5/5 volatility is the studio’s harshest rating; expect long stretches with nothing happening
- Fruits Kingdom returns more, risks less and pays double the ceiling — on the same ten lines
- Amusnet does not name Jackpot Cards for this title, so the progressive depends entirely on the casino
- Three sources give three different release dates, and no bet range is published anywhere
How Olympus Glory Compares
Two comparisons matter: the other maximum-variance game, and the games that actually offer bigger ceilings.
| Game | Volatility (official) | RTP | Lines | Max win (per line) | Effective ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Olympus Glory | 5 / 5 | 96.23% | 10 | 5,000× | ≈500× total |
| Age of Troy | 5 / 5 | 96.01% | 20 | 1,000× | ≈50× total |
| Fruits Kingdom | 4 / 5 | 96.25% | 10 | 10,000× | ≈1,000× total |
| Rise of Ra | 4 / 5 | 95.97% | 15 | 10,000× | ≈667× total |
| Casino Mania | 4 / 5 | 95.72% | 20 | 10,000× | ≈500× total |
The second row is the point we made when we reviewed Age of Troy, now from the other side: two games, the same maximum variance rating, and a tenfold difference in what you are playing for. If you want 5/5 from this studio, this is the one.
The third row is the point we owe you anyway. Fruits Kingdom is better on every published number — a slightly higher return, a lower volatility rating, and double the effective ceiling, on the same ten lines. Rise of Ra also beats this game’s ceiling at 4/5. Olympus Glory wins its own category comfortably; it does not win the catalogue.
One arithmetic note worth internalising from that last column: the line count matters as much as the headline. Casino Mania publishes twice this game’s per-line max win and lands at the same effective ceiling, because it spreads it over twice as many lines.
RTP, Volatility and Win Potential
The RTP of Olympus Glory is 96.23%. It is published on Amusnet’s official game page and matched exactly by both SlotCatalog and VegasSlotsOnline. Three sources, one figure, no disagreement.
That ranks sixth of the twenty-seven Amusnet games in this catalogue — upper quartile, sitting between Fruits Kingdom at 96.25% and Amazons’ Battle at 96.17%, and well clear of the Super Hot line and the classic fruit machines. Against the roughly 96% online average it is a little ahead.
The volatility is the number that defines this game. Amusnet rates it 5 out of 5 — the maximum on its own scale, and one of only two such ratings we have encountered across the studio’s catalogue. SlotCatalog calls it “High”; VegasSlotsOnline goes further and says “Very High”. Nobody disagrees about the direction.
What that means in practice: the same 96.23% is returned in fewer, larger payouts. Long stretches will do nothing at all. The free-spins round and its expanding symbol are carrying the return, and a bankroll that would last comfortably on a 2/5 machine like Magellan can vanish here without anything unusual having occurred.
The difference from Age of Troy is where this game earns its score. That title carries the same 5/5 rating and publishes a max win of 1,000× the bet per line across twenty lines — about 50× your total bet. Olympus Glory publishes 5,000× per line across ten lines, which is roughly 500× your total bet. Ten times the ceiling, for the same stated risk, plus 0.22 points more RTP.
But it is not the biggest ceiling here, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Fruits Kingdom runs the same ten lines at 96.25% with a 4/5 volatility rating and a published 10,000× per line — about 1,000× your total bet. Rise of Ra reaches roughly 667× at 4/5. Both of those are less punishing games with more headroom. Olympus Glory is the best of the maximum-variance machines; it is not the best machine.
Bets, Bankroll and Session Planning
Amusnet publishes no bet range for Olympus Glory. SlotCatalog lists 0.01 to 1000, but that is the generic default it applies across most of its catalogue rather than a researched figure, so we would not state it as fact.
The structure is ten paylines, so your total stake is ten times the line bet. Amusnet does not say whether those lines are fixed or selectable — it lists “Paylines: 10” and stops.
Bankroll planning matters here more than on almost anything else we have reviewed. At 5/5 volatility the return is concentrated in a bonus round you may wait a long time to reach, so the sensible approach is a smaller line bet over more spins than instinct suggests. The upside of the small board is that ten lines makes a low total stake easy to construct — you are not forced to fund fifty or a hundred lines per spin just to be in the game.
Playing Olympus Glory on Mobile
Amusnet lists the game as available for desktop and mobile, and SlotCatalog records it as JS/HTML5, so it runs in a phone browser without a download.
A 5×3 grid with ten paylines is about as readable as slots get on a small screen, and the expanding symbol is a genuinely good fit for phone play — when a symbol fills a whole reel it is unmistakable at any size, which is more than can be said for counting scatters on a dense four-row board.
Five Things to Know Before You Spin
- Watch for Zeus, and count him anywhere. He is wild and scatter at once, and three or more anywhere on the reels open the round — there is no payline requirement and no reel restriction published.
- Read the 5,000× as a per-line figure. Across ten lines it is about 500× your total bet. That is a real ceiling, but it is not 5,000× your stake and nobody should tell you it is.
- Take the 5/5 rating as a bankroll instruction. It is the top of Amusnet’s own scale. Smaller line bet, more spins — the return lives in a round you may wait a while to see.
- If you want the ceiling more than the variance, look at Fruits Kingdom. Same ten lines, 96.25%, rated 4/5, and double the effective top end.
- Check you have the right Olympus Glory. EGT Digital ships one too, called Olympus Glory Gods & Kings Link, with 25 or 50 lines and no published maths. Every figure here is the Amusnet game’s.

Who Olympus Glory Is For
Play it if you want high variance with something worth waiting for. This is the maximum-volatility game in this catalogue that actually pays for the risk — roughly 500× your total bet, a 96.23% return, and a free-spins round whose random expanding symbol gives every trigger a different character. The ten-line board also makes a genuinely small total stake practical, which is the right way to play a 5/5 machine.
Skip it if you want steady play, or if the ceiling is what you are really after. Amusnet rates this as harshly as it rates anything, and Fruits Kingdom offers a higher return, a lower risk rating and double the top end on the same number of lines.

Our Verdict
Maximum volatility, and this time the payoff is there
When we reviewed Age of Troy we complained that Amusnet had asked players to accept its harshest volatility rating without offering anything extra in return — the same 1,000× per line it prints on its gentlest machines. Olympus Glory is the answer to that complaint. Same 5/5 rating, but a published ceiling of 5,000× the bet per line across only ten lines, which is roughly 500× your total stake. Ten times the top end, and a better return at 96.23%.
The mechanics earn their keep too. Zeus doing double duty as wild and scatter is genuinely unusual, and the randomly chosen expanding symbol means every free-spins round has a different character — sometimes a low-value symbol filling reels for a modest return, occasionally the one you wanted. It is the Book of Ra idea, executed cleanly on a small board where a filled reel actually matters.
We rate it 8.2, the highest score we have given a maximum-variance game. What keeps it from going higher is a comparison we would rather make than hide: Fruits Kingdom returns slightly more, is rated a full point less volatile, and publishes double the effective ceiling on the same ten lines. Rise of Ra also reaches further at 4/5. If the big number is what you are chasing rather than the thrill of the drought, those are better machines.
Two practical notes. Amusnet does not name Jackpot Cards on this title, so check for the counters before assuming a progressive is live. And make sure you have the right game — EGT Digital ships its own Olympus Glory Gods & Kings Link, with different paylines and no published maths at all.
