The difference between Gates of Olympus and Gates of Olympus 1000
The two games share the same theme and the same core mechanic. The meaningful difference is the cap on multiplier symbols. This page puts the values stated on the two official game pages side by side and explains what the comparison cannot show.

Short answer
Gates of Olympus 1000 is a separate game that raises the original's multiplier cap from 500x to 1,000x. The pays-anywhere rule, tumble, Zeus scatter and 15 free spins exist in both; the official pages state a 96.50% RTP for each.
Mechanical differences
- Multiplier cap: multiplier symbols reach 500x in the original and 1,000x in the 1000 edition. In both games multipliers are added at the end of a sequence and applied to the total win.
- Bonus buy: the 1000 edition's page states a buy option at 100x the bet; the original's page says nothing about it. That does not mean the original has no buy option, only that our source does not state it.
- Retrigger: the 1000 edition's page states 5 extra spins for 3+ scatters during the bonus; the original's page lacks that detail.
Similarities that are easy to overlook
Same theme, same symbol family, same pays-anywhere rule, same tumble mechanic and the same 15 free spins. Apart from the multiplier cap, the games feel largely the same.
Version and configuration caveats
Pragmatic Play games can be offered to operators in different RTP configurations. The 96.50% on the official page may not match the site where you play; the in-game info screen is authoritative. Bonus buy may be disabled in some countries.
What this comparison cannot show
A higher multiplier cap does not mean a more profitable game. How often a 1,000x multiplier lands, the paytables and the volatility are not on the official pages. Two games with the same RTP converge to the same payback over the long run; what differs is the size and frequency distribution of wins. This page does not say which game is "better"; we have no data that could.
