There are two versions of this slot, and Pragmatic Play's pages make it possible to line them up. This comparison is dated 2 February 2026, the release day of the newer game. Every figure comes from the provider's own releases and game pages, and gaps in the sources are marked rather than filled.
The shared base
Both games use a 5x5 grid, both ask the player to choose between Olympus and Hades, and both revolve around expanding wilds that grow over a full reel and carry a multiplier. Both open the bonus with 10 free spins after three scatters. Both games are part of the Greek Gods series of Pragmatic Play, and each is playable as a free demo on its page of this site.
Where they differ
- Release: 22 May 2023 for the original, 2 February 2026 for the sequel.
- Choice: the original describes two game modes that can be switched in the base game, with volatility named as high in Olympus and very high in Hades. The sequel describes two volatility levels, with Hades the more volatile.
- Multiplier: up to 100x on an expanding wild in the original, up to 250x in the sequel.
- Bonus trigger: three scatters in the original; three scatters on reels one, three and five in the sequel.
- Wilds in the bonus: sticky in the original, locked in with their multiplier in the sequel.
- Maximum win: 15,000x against 25,000x.
- Return: 96.07% against 96.56%.
- Extras: the sequel mentions Super Spins and a Super Free Spins bonus buy in select markets, while the first game's sources do not.
What is not published
Neither source gives a bet range or a hit frequency, and neither gives a numeric volatility rating. The original also states a count of 15 paylines, while the sequel's pages do not repeat it, so we do not state one for the sequel.
Why it matters for a player
A larger multiplier ceiling and a higher top prize make the sequel's best case bigger, and its published return figure is slightly higher, but these are long-run and best-case numbers that do not guarantee anything in a session. The original's guaranteed expanding wild in Hades free spins is a specific feature worth testing in the demo. Choose by the features you enjoy, not by the size of a ceiling, and set a limit before playing. The detailed lists are on the original and 250 pages.
