Gates of Hades slot
Gates of Hades is a Pragmatic Play slot released on 22 May 2025, with a 6x6 grid that uses cluster pays and Hades, god of the Underworld, presiding over the reels. Its defining feature is the wild multiplier: each one that lands is collected above its reel and boosts the tumble wins that follow underneath. In the Super Free Spins, no wild multiplier can be worth less than 10x.

How Gates of Hades plays
Every spin fills a square grid of six reels and six rows, and wins come from clusters rather than lines: five or more matching symbols joined horizontally or vertically form a win. Each win sets off a tumble, in which the winning symbols are cleared and new ones drop into the gaps, so one spin can bring a chain of wins. Wilds stand in for other symbols to help those clusters form, and in Gates of Hades they also carry the game’s multipliers, each of which works on the reel where its wild landed. Scatters are the other symbol to watch, because three or more of them open the free spins.
Gates of Hades: 6 reels, 6 rows; clusters of 5 or more matching symbols touching across or down. Matching symbols that touch side by side pay as a cluster.
Wild multipliers above the reels
In the base game, a wild can land carrying a random multiplier of up to 100x. The multiplier is then collected in the space above the reel where that wild landed, and from there it boosts the tumble wins that hit underneath it on that reel. A multiplier collected above the second reel, for example, lifts the wins that follow beneath it on the second reel during the same spin. In the base game, the collected values last only as long as the spin that produced them.
The free spins round
Three to six scatters start the bonus game with an initial 10 to 20 free spins. Two things change once the round begins. The highest multiplier a wild can carry rises from 100x to 500x, and the multipliers collected above the reels stop clearing between spins: they stay in place for the entire round, so the boosts build up from one free spin to the next instead of starting again on every spin.
Super Free Spins
Six or more scatters on the triggering spin bring the Super Free Spins, a round of 20 spins with a floor under every wild multiplier, since none can be worth less than 10x. The ceiling stays at the 500x that applies in the free spins, and the multipliers collected above the reels again stay in place until the round is over. Next to the standard round, the difference lies in that minimum value and in the fixed number of spins.
Gates of Hades compared with Gates of Olympus
Gates of Olympus came first, in February 2021, with Zeus as its central figure, a grid of six reels and five rows where eight or more matching symbols pay wherever they land, tumbling wins, and separate multiplier symbols worth 2x to 500x. Gates of Hades keeps the tumbles but moves to clusters on a 6x6 grid, and it puts its multipliers on wilds, which are collected above their reels rather than landing as multiplier symbols of their own. The bonus rounds open differently too: Gates of Olympus needs four or more scatters for its 15 free spins, while Gates of Hades starts from three.
| Game | Released | Grid and pays | Multipliers |
|---|---|---|---|

| Gates of Olympus | February 2021 | 6 reels, 5 rows; 8 or more matching symbols pay anywhere | Separate multiplier symbols, 2x to 500x |

Frequently asked questions
Is Gates of Hades a sequel to Gates of Olympus?
They are close relatives. Pragmatic Play calls Gates of Hades an addition to its Greek Gods series and released it as the next Greek mythology game after Gates of Olympus Super Scatter. The engine is different, though: wins come from clusters on a 6x6 grid instead of symbols paying anywhere, and the multipliers ride on wilds.
Who stands beside the reels in Gates of Hades?
Hades, the Greek god of the Underworld. Pragmatic Play describes him as presiding over the reels, and the game is set in his fiery underworld instead of among the clouds of Mount Olympus, the home of Zeus in Gates of Olympus. His name gives the game its title, and the studio files it with its Greek mythology releases.
How do the Super Free Spins differ from the free spins in Gates of Hades?
The trigger, the length and the minimum multiplier all change. Three to six scatters give 10 to 20 free spins, while six or more give 20 Super Free Spins. In the super round every wild multiplier is worth at least 10x; in both rounds the top value is 500x and collected multipliers stay above the reels until the end.
