Presentation of Gates of CrazyBet 1000: a high-voltage remaster

The Gates of Olympus dna pushed to 1000x

Is there a real difference between Gates of CrazyBet 1000 and Gates of Olympus 1000? Aside from the symbols… no. The x1000 bombs are still present, and the maximum win remains at x15,000… if you like the 1000 version of Gates, you are going to love ours.

Bonus buy, bets up to €300… there is truly no difference in the mechanics compared to Gates of Olympus 1000.

First impression: interface and mythological atmosphere

We decided to dive straight into the universe of CrazyBet with Gates of CrazyBet 1000. The color purple is very prominent, and the phoenix is similar to the one in our logo… in short, it is impossible not to feel our personal touch in this slot. The symbols are easy to read, and we even had the chance to customize our bombs.

Technical characteristics of Gates of CrazyBet 1000

Game grid and mechanics of Gates of CrazyBet 1000

Regarding the game grid, there is nothing new under the sun. You will find 6 columns with 5 symbols each. As for the payouts? They work with a pay anywhere system. But what does that mean? It is simple.

As soon as 8 identical symbols appear anywhere on the grid, they form a connection. Once they have connected, they disappear to make room for new symbols. For us, it is our favorite connection system. It is very easy to understand, and the cascades bring that energy that some slots lack.

RTP, volatility and winning potential

For the rtp, we decided to offer you the same as Gates of Olympus 1000: 96.5%. Thus, Gates of CrazyBet 1000 once again offers a slot with an rtp above the market average (which is around 96%).

Regarding volatility? We decided to stick with explosiveness. We could not imagine offering you a Gates of CrazyBet 1000 without explosive volatility. With a 5/5 volatility, this slot will give you some strong thrills… very strong ones.

After more than 8,500 spins, we can confirm that we went through every possible emotion. Joy, hate, sadness, emotional shocks both positive and negative… Gates of CrazyBet 1000 is the ultimate representation of volatility.

With a maximum win of 15,000 times your starting bet (we haven't hit it yet), you have plenty to dream about for a great jackpot. At a €1 bet, that is still €15,000, a very nice jackpot. In any case, we sincerely hope you catch this max win, even if it seems terribly hard to obtain.

Betting range and accessibility

We decided to offer a slot accessible to all player profiles, by offering bets ranging from €0.2 to €300.

For beginners, we recommend playing between €0.2 and €1 per spin. We always give ourselves a 200-spin buffer before playing on Gates of CrazyBet 1000.

Do you have a larger budget? In that case, we can recommend playing between €1 and €5 per spin. But do not burn through your entire balance on the slot; it can be truly… terrible.

If you have a huge budget, you can play above €5 per spin, but that only applies to very few players. In any case, even if you have a lot of money, we highly recommend setting limits for yourself.

Full paytable - Gates of CrazyBet 1000

In total, there are 10 paying symbols on Gates of CrazyBet 1000. They are divided into three categories:

• Premiums: we noticed that they appear less often, but the payout is higher when they connect
• Non-premiums (or low): well, as you might have guessed, they appear and connect more regularly, so naturally, their values are lower
• Special: this is just the bonus symbol; it does not connect with any other symbol, but depending on how many times it appears, it can win you money before the free spins

It should be noted that Gates of CrazyBet 1000 does not feature a wild symbol. This is a common occurrence with the Gates and Starlight series, so it is nothing shocking to us. There is also a bonus symbol that allows you to obtain free spins on this slot.

Features and bonuses of Gates of CrazyBet 1000

The tumble system (cascades)

Connections work in cascades. To put it simply, as soon as at least 8 similar symbols appear on your screen, regardless of where they are placed, they connect.

What we like is that once the symbols have connected, they disappear to make room for new symbols. And the thing is, a round only stops when it is no longer possible to connect.

So we might as well tell you that we have experienced many moments where the slot chains 5 or 6 cascades and the final win starts to climb… we love it.

Random multipliers

The very basis of this slot is its multipliers. To put it simply, bombs ranging from x2 to x1,000 can drop during any game round.

What are they for? As soon as a connection occurs, it will multiply the value of your win. But what we love is when several cascades chain together and the bomb multiplies the entirety of the total win.

We already hit a x500 bomb in the base game after 4 consecutive connections… a nice x3,580 win at a €0.20 bet, it totally saved our session!

The free spins of Gates of CrazyBet 1000

Free spins are triggered as soon as you land at least 4 scatter symbols on the same game round. Once that happens, you get 15 free spins. Landing 3 symbols during a single free spin grants you 5 additional fs.

The main feature of the bonus? The bombs! Just like in the base game, they can appear with a multiplier from x2 to x1,000. But here, as soon as a bomb is part of a connection, it goes into an accumulator!

To put it simply, if a x2 bomb connects on round 14, it will stay until the end. If a x10 bomb appears on round 13 and it connects, it will multiply your win by x12 (x2 + x10).

However! If a bomb appears but no connection is made during the round, it will not be added to the multiplier.

The number of times a x250 / x500 bomb dropped without connecting… our heart is still broken.

The ante bet option

The ante bet (which still costs 25% of the starting bet!) is supposed to help you obtain free spins faster. Well, we use it very, very, very regularly, and honestly… we don't feel like it really changes the outcome.

Maybe it is only psychological, but if you do not have much balance left, we advise you to play without the ante bet.

Bonus buy

On Gates of CrazyBet 1000, you will be able to buy bonus rounds for 100 times your starting bet. We only use it in 2 specific cases:

If we have very little money left in our balance and we want to go all-in.

When we have a large balance and we keep at least 500 to 600 times our starting bet to make purchases.

Otherwise, the rest of the time, we prefer to obtain the bonus in the classic way.

Comparison: Gates of CrazyBet 1000 vs Gates of Olympus

The major differences

Is there a real difference between Gates of Olympus 1000, Gates of Olympus, and Gates of CrazyBet 1000? We decided to summarize all of that for you in a table.

Quick answer: yes… and no. There are differences between Gates of Olympus and the other two.

If you are a beginner and want to understand the mechanism, we recommend the classic version. However, if like us, you love explosiveness, then go for Gates of CrazyBet 1000. Of course, we are telling you this objectively.
