Grace of Ebisu Slot by Pragmatic Play

Gates of Olympus With a Japanese Skin and 500x Multipliers

Grace of Ebisu is Gates of Olympus in a Japanese costume. 6x5 grid, scatter pays, tumbling wins, multiplier symbols. The engine is identical - 8+ matching symbols anywhere on screen trigger a win, symbols tumble, multipliers land randomly and add together at the end of each sequence. The only functional difference is the multiplier ceiling: 500x per symbol instead of Gates of Olympus's 500x. Same number. Same mechanic.

Ebisu is one of Japan's Seven Lucky Gods, patron of fishermen, luck, and prosperity. He appears beside the grid holding a fishing rod and golden sea bream. Koi fish, frogs, geisha figures, and traditional card values in Japanese ornamental frames fill the symbol positions. Cherry blossoms at the top, temple bridges and water in the background. The visual execution is polished.

Accumulating Multipliers in Free Spins

Multiplier symbols carry values from the full range: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, or 500x. In the base game, all multipliers visible after a tumble sequence are summed and applied to the total win. Standard Gates behavior.

Free spins change the accumulation model. Every multiplier symbol that hits during a winning tumble gets added to a persistent global multiplier that lasts the entire round. A 5x on spin 1, a 10x on spin 3, a 25x on spin 7 - by spin 7, every tumble win benefits from a 40x multiplier. The global multiplier only grows; it never resets during the round.

Four or more scatters trigger 15 free spins. Three or more scatters during the round add 5 extra. The scatter paytable pays 60 coins for 4, 100 for 5, and 2,000 for 6+ - that 6-scatter payout is 100x total bet before free spins even begin.

Ante, Buy, and Four Jackpots

Ante bet costs 25% extra (bet multiplier 25x instead of 20x) and doubles scatter frequency on the reels. It disables the buy feature and reduces max win to 4,000x from 5,000x. The buy option triggers free spins directly at 100x total bet. RTP is flat at 96.50% across all three modes - regular, ante, and purchase.

Four progressive jackpots (Minor, Major, Mega, Grand) trigger randomly after base game spins. Never during features. Higher bets improve your odds. Winning involves an item-opening mini-game where you reveal matches until 3 identical jackpot names appear. This is the one functional addition that Gates of Olympus doesn't have - and it applies to the base game only, never interacting with the scatter-pay mechanics.

The paytable matches the standard Pragmatic scatter-pay structure. All symbols show the same in-game display values (5=100, 4=40, 3=10 coins). Extended values from the game server differentiate premiums at higher counts - the Ebisu symbol (premium 1) pays 1,000 coins for 12+, while the lowest symbol pays 40 for 12+. One premium also pays for 2 symbols at 3 coins. Min bet $0.20, max $100.

Grace of Ebisu doesn't pretend to be something new. If you like Gates of Olympus and want the same mechanics with Japanese artwork and a jackpot layer, this delivers exactly that. If you're looking for mechanical innovation, the engine is three years old and unchanged.
