The Brothers' take on Forge of Olympus
Pragmatic clearly wanted a Gates of Olympus follow-up that wasn't just a re-skin, and Forge of Olympus is what they came up with. Same Greek-myth dressing, same scatter-pays grid, but a hammer-multiplier mechanic that gives the bonus a different shape.
Six reels, five rows, scatter pays — eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pays, no paylines required. Wins tumble, the chain keeps going. The Forge mechanic kicks in during free spins: hammer symbols land carrying multiplier values, and the values escalate as you progress through bonus levels (Level 4 has hammers guaranteed at 50×–100×). At higher levels, multiple hammers stack on a single tumble. That stacking is where the 5,000× cap actually becomes reachable.
RTP defaults to 96.25% (with 95.04% and 93.96% lower variants). Volatility is high — 5/5 on Pragmatic's scale. Hit rate is 33.19%, roughly one win every 3 spins, which sounds generous but a lot of those wins are minimum-stake returns. Free-spins trigger requires four scatters and is on the rare side. Bet range is the standard 20¢ to €/$100. There's a Feature Buy and an Ante Bet, both honest, both optional.
The Brothers' take on the Olympus family: Gates of Olympus is the loud one, Sword of Ares is the second-tier one, Forge of Olympus is the one that actually rewards bonus-round patience. The hammer-multiplier system makes free spins feel like a level-up rather than a coin flip. We picked it ahead of Sword of Ares for that reason alone.
What we like
- Hammer multiplier escalation is real progression, not just RNG
- 33.19% hit rate keeps the base game from feeling dead
- 96.25% default RTP at the top tier
What we don't
- 5,000× cap is small for a 5/5 volatility slot
- Free-spins trigger is on the rare side
- 93.96% RTP version exists — that's a steep drop
The Olympus slot for players who want progression, not chaos — hammer mechanic earns its place.
