Triggering the original feature
Pragmatic Play states that four or more scatters trigger 15 free spins in the original. This is a game rule. It is not a welcome offer, and there is no requirement to type in a promo code to trigger it through normal play. (Provider rules)
What changes during the feature
The original uses a running multiplier total during free spins. When a multiplier lands on a winning spin, it is added to that total and applied to the win. Read the game’s help screen to understand how the displayed total relates to the current result. (Provider rules)
Retriggers are edition-specific
For Gates of Olympus 1000 and 2500, the provider says three or more scatters during the feature add five spins. POP uses a different threshold of two or more scatters for five additional spins. Do not apply the POP rule to another edition just because the theme is similar. (Pragmatic Play game rules)
A casino’s free-spin offer has its own conditions
Before accepting promotional spins, look for the eligible game, spin value, expiry time, wagering requirements and any maximum conversion or withdrawal condition. A casino may offer spins on a different title. A promotion mentioning Pragmatic Play is not proof that Gates of Olympus qualifies. (Provider rules)
A bonus buy is a paid purchase
Where a bonus buy is available, it charges a stated amount to enter a feature. It does not turn that feature into a no-cost promotion, and it does not guarantee a return greater than its cost. Availability and rules can depend on the edition and location.
Avoid chasing the next trigger
A run of paid spins without a feature does not establish that a feature is due. Do not extend a session or increase a stake to recover the cost of waiting. If you want to understand the feature, read its rules or use a permitted demo with virtual credits.
Your question, answered
Are in-game free spins the same as a casino bonus?
No. The game feature follows its paytable; a casino promotion has separate eligibility, expiry and wagering terms.
