Gates of Olympus Dice Slot
The least discussed member of the series. The symbols turned into dice faces; the skeleton of the game stayed exactly where it was.

Gates of Olympus Dice exists for a different reason than the others. The change here was not made to enrich the player experience but to fit the regulatory structure of particular markets. What came out is a familiar game wearing an unfamiliar skin.
What Is the Dice Edition?
In short: the same game with symbols redrawn as dice faces. The grid is still six columns by five rows, there are still no paylines and eight matching symbols are still enough.
The visual layer, on the other hand, is unrecognisable. Gems and jewels give way to dice faces, the interface is rebuilt around the theme and the palette shifts with it. Open it cold and it can take a few seconds to place the game as part of the Olympus series at all.
The win ceiling is inherited unchanged from the base game and stops at roughly 5,000x. Multiplier orbs also remain in the familiar 2x to 500x range. This is not, in other words, a strengthened edition like 1000.
Why Dice Versions Exist
The answer lies in regulation, not in game design. In some countries dice games are handled as a separate category from slot machines, with their own licensing, tax and advertising rules.
Providers fill that gap by producing dice-interface counterparts of their popular releases. Pragmatic Play’s dice series came about exactly this way, and Gates of Olympus Dice is part of it.
The practical consequence is that availability depends on geography. The same operator may list this title in one country and not in another. If you cannot find it in a catalogue, that is usually why.
How the Dice Format Differs From Slots
From a player’s point of view there is no practical difference: same grid, same payout rule, same tumble chain. The distinction sits entirely on the regulatory side and comes down to what the symbols look like.
In some jurisdictions the law classifies games by the visual theme that presents the outcome. A game played with dice faces falls into the “dice game” category, and that category carries its own licensing, tax and advertising rules.
Providers use that distinction to offer the same engine in two shells. Gates of Olympus Dice is a textbook case: the core logic preserved, the symbol set redrawn, the game now listable in a different category.
The only consequence that reaches the player is availability. There is no sense in which the game becomes “easier” or “more generous” — a category name does not shift probabilities.
What Changed in the Interface
Dice keeps this skeleton; only the artwork inside the cells changes.
The visual layer was rebuilt completely: gems and jewels gave way to dice faces, the interface was adapted to the theme and the palette was reworked.
The symbol hierarchy is preserved: the ordering from highest payer to lowest follows the same logic, with only the icons converted to dice faces. Opening the paytable once to see which face sits at which tier is all it takes.
Scatter and multiplier orbs were adapted to the theme as well, but their functions are unchanged. Orbs are still summed when the chain closes and applied to the round’s win.
Is the Maths Really the Same?
The core structure matches: grid, payout rule, tumble chain and bonus logic all line up with the rest of the series. One caution is needed here, though.
The reason is that these titles are offered under different regulatory regimes. A configuration valid in one market may have been adjusted in another. It is a more pronounced version of the RTP-configuration difference seen elsewhere in the series.
Make this routine: once the game loads, open the info panel and read the paytable and the theoretical return line. Half a minute, and you stop guessing which configuration you are on. The advice is not specific to Dice but to the whole series; why the same title can be offered with different RTP settings from one site to the next is set out in the editions overview.
The Bonus Round and Multipliers in Dice
The bonus mechanic works on the same logic as everywhere else. Enough Scatters start the free spins, and orbs landing through the round gather into a shared total.
Orb values stay inside the base-edition range of 2x to 500x. Nothing here matches the raised ceiling the 1000 edition carries, so a bonus round tops out around 5,000x as well. The dice artwork touches none of those numbers — the only layer that changed is the one you look at.
The buy button is not present everywhere in this adaptation. Where it exists the price is unchanged — one hundred times the total bet — but regulators in the markets that carry dice titles restrict the feature more often than they do elsewhere, so finding no button at all is ordinary rather than a fault. Nothing else is affected: the bonus round still triggers from Scatters in the usual way.
Where to Find It
Distribution is narrow. While the base edition and 1000 appear in almost every licensed catalogue, Dice is listed only by operators serving particular markets.
The quickest route is to filter the catalogue by provider and pull up the Olympus titles together. Typing “dice” into the search box works too, since the provider’s other titles in that series are listed under the same keyword.
If your site does not list it, the fallback is straightforward. The standard Gates of Olympus is available virtually everywhere and runs the same engine behind the familiar interface, so the only thing you give up is the dice artwork. Tumble chains, orb values and the free-spins round behave identically, which is also why nobody has to relearn anything when moving between the two.
A Checklist Before You Play
- Open the info screen. The theoretical return and maximum win are written there. Because those values can diverge between operators in dice adaptations, this check matters more here than in the other editions.
- Read the paytable once. Knowing which dice face sits at which tier makes the grid much easier to read. The ordering is familiar, but the artwork is entirely new.
- Check whether buy bonus exists. If the button is missing that is not a fault, it is the regulation of that market. Ante Bet is usually still present.
- Set your stake on base-edition logic. Since the ceiling and multiplier range match, the stake level you use in the base game applies here too.
Who the Dice Edition Suits
This title makes sense for two kinds of player: those who prefer the dice theme on aesthetic grounds, and those in markets where the slot format is not offered at all.
Moving to it in search of a mathematical edge, on the other hand, is wasted effort. The cap is the base edition’s, the multiplier range is the base edition’s, the bonus condition is the base edition’s — the only thing that changed is what you are looking at. If you are after a wider spread and a higher peak, the high-ceiling 1000 edition is the place to go; if you want the bonus round arriving more often, the Super Scatter adaptation is. The one sound reason to pick Dice is that it happens to be the only title from the series your site carries.
Questions About the Dice Edition
If you want higher variance and a bigger ceiling, the 1000 edition is the right address; if you want the bonus more often, Super Scatter is.
What is Gates of Olympus Dice?
It is Pragmatic Play’s adaptation with a dice-themed interface. The reel structure, the eight-symbol rule and the tumble logic are preserved; the symbols are redesigned as dice faces. Mechanically it sits very close to the base edition of the series.
Why does a dice version exist?
The reason is regulatory. In some countries dice games are treated as a separate category from slots and fall under their own licensing conditions. Providers build dice-interface counterparts of their popular slots to reach those markets, so the decision comes from the rulebook rather than from game design.
Is the payout structure the same as the base edition?
Largely the same — the same grid, the same eight-symbol rule, the same tumble chain. But the paytable and multiplier range of dice adaptations can show small differences between operators. Checking the values in the game’s own info screen before playing is therefore the right move.
What is the maximum win?
It sits in the same band as the base edition, around 5,000x. There is no raised ceiling here of the kind the 1000 edition carries, and the multiplier orbs stay within the familiar 2x to 500x range.
Is it available at every site?
It is not. This is the narrowest release in the series, and whether it turns up in a catalogue depends entirely on the market the operator serves. Not finding it is no sign of anything wrong: the site simply does not carry that adaptation.
Does the dice theme make the game easier?
It does not. The theme only changes how symbols look; probabilities and payout logic run entirely independently of what a symbol resembles. Seeing dice faces does not make outcomes any more predictable.
How does the bonus round work?
On the same logic as the rest of the series: enough Scatters start the free spins, orbs landing through the round accumulate and the combined multiplier applies to each win. Round length and retrigger rules are familiar as well.
Is there a demo version?
There is, and the player on this page opens it. It runs from Pragmatic Play’s own demo server on a virtual balance. A few spins are enough to see the interface change and how the symbols were redrawn.
