How a Gates of Hades Number Is Sourced
Sourcing a Gates of Hades number is the whole job of this fact desk. Gates of Hades is a slot game, and catalogues, forums, and affiliate pages argue over its numbers until the original figure disappears. Each of the 9 pages here answers one question, says the answer once in full, and names the source beside it.
Two Sources, One Answer
What happens when two publishers disagree? The page prints both figures and says which one the provider stands behind. Where the provider publishes nothing, the page says so instead of estimating. That is slower than averaging, but an averaged number is an invented number, and the reader pays for it.
- Return ranges as the provider prints them, with any operator tweak flagged.
- Win limits as the game client shows them, in the wording it uses.
- Supplier licences by number, checked in the regulator's own register.
- Definitions written in one sentence, then unpacked in a longer one.
Where the Verification Happens
We start inside the game client. If the client prints a figure, we confirm it there, working from the information panel through to the last round of a recorded session, before opening a single catalogue. A licence number is the exception: that one we check in the regulator's register. Pragmatic Play runs the free demo we use for all of it. No account, no deposit, and the information panel is open to anyone who wants to read the constraints first.
Return First, Then the Ceiling
Return comes first, and the ceiling second. Return to player leads because it is the number most often misquoted. According to Pragmatic Play, this title publishes more than one return: 96.52%, 96.50% and 96.47%, depending on how a round is entered, so these reference pages name which of them applies before quoting a number. Third-party catalogues additionally list 95.47% and 94.47%, which Pragmatic Play does not publish for this title, so these reference pages credit those figures to the catalogues instead of to the studio.
Where the Ceiling Comes From
The game prints its own ceiling; a listing only repeats one. The client states the win ceiling as 10,000x the bet, a hard cap that applies in both the base game and the free spins round, and that is the figure the reference pages here are written against. A catalogue figure can mean something else entirely, so each page here names the screen it read. After return come the win ceiling, the bonus mechanics, the supplier licences, and the plain question of what kind of game this is.
A Definition That Travels
We write a definition page so it survives being quoted out of context: one sentence of answer, one paragraph of detail, one worked example. Need only the answer? Stop after the first sentence. Need the working? Read on.
- Every figure carries the date we last checked it.
- Unpublished values are labelled unpublished.
How This Section Verifies a Figure
Wording matters at a game fact desk. A definition that travels without its caveat turns into a false claim, so every definition here carries its exceptions, the numbers behind it, and whoever published it first.
A check date promises one thing only: somebody opened that source on that day. So a correction moves the update date of the page it touches, and we fix the ledger in the same pass. How we test sets out the full method, including how we score and what we refuse to publish.
We are an affiliate publisher. We disclose that beside every sponsored link, and no operator buys a kinder write-up. Local law decides whether you can open an account at all, and the operator enforces its own identity checks, so nothing on these reference pages is legal advice for any country.
Reading Order: The Number, Then Its Context
Reading order here is simple: a verdict gives the judgement, a lesson teaches the play, and the number sits in its context on these reference pages. Pick the page your question demands, for instance Three RTP Builds, Max Win Ceiling and The 10x Wild Floor.
A reference figure is only as fresh as its source, though. Every page carries its publication and revision dates, and an operator's live terms remain the final word. Availability of the game varies by country and by region, and these pages assume a reader of 18 or older.
Pages most readers open first:
- our review and score
- the free demo, round by round
- the published RTP range
- is it legit: our licence check
- the casinos we checked
- how the game is actually played
Known Limits of the Gates of Hades Fact Desk
The fact desk has edges worth stating up front. It offers published figures, licence numbers, and definitions. It does not offer an independent payout audit, a certificate we issued ourselves, or a laboratory report. Where no named test laboratory covers a title, the page says exactly that.
A figure might also be configured differently in the lobby you use than in the one a catalogue listed. Treat the range as the honest answer and the single number as the exception.
- Conflicting sources are printed side by side, with the publisher of each one named.
- Nothing is quoted from a competitor or an affiliate feed as if it were a primary source.

Gates of Hades Facts on Record
Gates of Hades facts on record are the ledger values every page in this section has to agree with. Where the provider publishes a range instead of a figure, we print the range. A single number quoted somewhere else is one operator's setting, and we say so.
- Game:
- Gates of Hades (a Pragmatic Play 6x6 cluster-pays video slot)
- Type:
- Slot game
- RTP as published:
- 96.52% theoretical, stated verbatim on the game's own rules screen
- Max win:
- 10,000x the bet, a hard cap that applies in both the base game and the free spins round.
Where the provider has never published a value, we mark it unpublished. That is a weaker answer than a number. It is also the only honest one we have.
We check every figure against that same ledger. When one contradicts it, we fix the page, the ledger, or both, and stamp the fix with the date we made it.
- We print ranges end to end, exactly as the provider publishes them.
- Whatever an operator sets, it sits inside that provider range.
Three RTP Builds
The number printed inside the game is 96.52%, and we read it on rules page 4 of 7 during a demo session on . Filed as an explainer page, first published on .

What the Page Settles
It is not the only figure this title ships with.
Gates of Hades ships with three different return figures, and the casino you load it at decides which one applies. Here is where to read the live one.

Max Win Ceiling
Ten thousand times the stake is where this slot stops counting, and the rule bites in both halves of the game. A game profile entry; its last edit is dated .

Where Its Figures Come From
Gates of Hades stops counting at 10,000x the stake, and a round that reaches that ceiling ends on the spot with every remaining free spin forfeited.
The page keeps the sources behind it, alongside a list of whatever stayed unconfirmed after the game checks.
Our game notes, with their sources, are written up on Max Win Ceiling.

The 10x Wild Floor
That is the whole of the feature: a floor, not extra spins. This one went up on and is filed under explainer.

What We Verified There
Buying the Super round in Gates of Hades guarantees a wild multiplier floor of 10x.
We logged seventeen values to check whether the rule actually holds.

Symbol Pay Ladder
Eight symbols pay here, and the distance between the best and the worst of them is thirty-fold at every block size. Revised , and kept current by the game profile desk.

Why It Earns a Place Here
We photographed the ladder at a $2.00 stake and converted each cash figure back into stakes.
Eight symbols pay on this 6x6 grid, from a crown at 150x down to a blue gem at 5x, with the wild ladder left blank by the studio below a full grid.
Symbol Pay Ladder carries the rest of the argument.

Medium or High
The badge inside the game reads MEDIUM VOLATILITY. Shelved under explainer on , under continuous review.

What the Page Leaves Open
It shows up twice, on the intro screen and at the top of rules page four.
Almost every review we checked says high instead. The game's own rules screen calls Gates of Hades a medium-variance slot while catalogues rate it high. We read both and report the disagreement.
Dates, caveats, and screenshots live on Medium or High.

Cluster Rule
Five touching symbols is the entry price on this grid, and a diagonal run of five is worth nothing. A game profile page, last revised in line with its sources.

How It Fits This Section
The rule matters because most summaries of the game describe a different one entirely.
Blocks of five or more touching symbols pay on a 6x6 grid, diagonals are ignored, and the meters above the reels are summed across the winning reels only.
The figures and their registers are on Cluster Rule.

Versus Gates of Olympus
Two pay rules sit behind these grids, and the one here changes what a session feels like. Recorded on as an alternatives page.

What It Deliberately Avoids
Gates of Hades against the Olympus formula: cluster wins of five connected symbols, sticky reel meters, no ante bet, and a 96.52% return read in-game.

What the Page Settles
You can see exactly where the measured figures stop.

Gates of Hades Session Frames
Every Gates of Hades frame below comes from our own recorded demo and lobby sessions, and each caption says exactly what its frame shows.
A frame keeps the caption its manifest entry earns. That is why an idle game screen is labelled an idle screen.
The manifest records exactly what each frame shows, and our method forbids us from claiming a word more than that.





- We captured every frame ourselves, in the sessions its manifest entry records.
- A frame is reused across pages only when it genuinely illustrates both.
