Gates of Rizk

In the base game, there are six reels and five rows, symbols fall in cascades (Tumble), and winning combinations are formed not along the lines, but along the "cluster" - it is enough to collect eight or more identical symbols anywhere in view. After each match, the winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in their place, creating chances for chain wins in the same spin.

The main feature is multi-coloured multipliers (Multiplier Symbols), which can appear at any time on any reel. They accumulate and are applied to the final win after all cascades are completed. Even without a bonus, sometimes it is possible to collect solid big wins if at the right moment the multipliers of x15, x50 or higher "flew in".

The main bonus is Free Spins, which is triggered when four or more Scatters appear (a special symbol with the Free Spins inscription or the operator logo). In the bonus, all the multipliers are summed up and saved until the end of the free spins, which dramatically increases the potential of each spin. Each time a Multiplier Symbol appears, its value is added to the total multiplier, which is applied to all subsequent wins.

Sometimes Free Spins can be bought directly (Bonus Buy) - usually for 100x the bet, but this option is not always available, depending on the settings of a particular casino. It is in the bonus that the "fattest" big wins occur, although not always - there are also empty bonuses, especially with a "series" of weak multipliers.

The symbolism completely repeats the original: rings, goblets, hourglasses, crystals, wreaths, hammers and Rizk brand badges instead of the standard "Greek" accents. The most expensive symbol is a crown, followed by an hourglass, cups and rings. Low-value symbols are multi-coloured stones. Scatter is easily recognisable, usually with the Free Spins/operator logo. Multipliers come in different colours (green, blue, purple, gold) and add excitement with each landing.

The maximum win is 5,000x the bet, just like the original slot. Theoretically, the "ceiling" can be caught in one spin in the bonus if a chain of top symbols appears and large multipliers are added to them (for example, x250 and higher). In practice, as with all slots with similar mechanics, 100-400x wins are the most common. Volatility is high: sometimes you can wait a long time for at least something big, but when the slot "gives", it feels really cool.

The graphics are bright, but not overloaded - everything is made in the style of Rizk, with recognisable colours, logos and a slight sense of the "heroic" theme. The symbols are large, all the effects are smooth, the music is cheerful, with an emphasis on drama and dynamics. In case of a big win, the entire screen "explodes" with flashes, which increases the excitement. On mobile and PC, it works without lags.

This slot is suitable for those who love fast dynamic slot machines with the ability to bring in big "out of the blue". Do you love the original Gates of Olympus or just a fan of cascades and multipliers? Then Gates of Rizk will definitely suit you. The slot may also suit beginners who choose to play — there are no complicated rules, everything is intuitive.

Volatility is high — you should not bet more than 1-2% of the bankroll per spin. The RTP is usually 96.50%, but, as always with Pragmatic Play, there are reduced versions (95.51% and even lower) - be sure to check the indicator in the info window before the game. Do not get carried away with buying bonuses in a row: there are very empty sessions when the slot simply "eats" the balance. It is better to combine regular spins and rare bonus purchases.
