Pragmatic Play slots at betworld96: how each multiplier works
From Sugar Rush's doubling spots to wilds worth 2x, 3x or 5x in Buffalo King Megaways, the multiplier is what separates most Pragmatic Play pokies at betworld96. Compare the five kinds side by side, then check RTP, volatility and max win for all 18 online pokies.
Where the multiplier comes from
Most of the 18 Pragmatic Play pokies at betworld96 casino use a multiplier somewhere, but not in the same way. Knowing which kind a game uses tells you what to watch on the reels and when the bigger wins tend to arrive. Five patterns cover nearly all of them:
Multiplier symbols that land on the grid and apply to a win.
Running totals that keep growing through a free-spins round.
Multiplier spots marked on a cluster grid.
Wild multipliers carried by the wild symbol itself.
Climbing free-spin multipliers in the Megaways and money-collect games.
Multiplier symbols on a pays-anywhere grid
Five games pay when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere on a 6×5 grid, and all of them add multiplier symbols to the mix. The range on those symbols is the quickest way to tell them apart.
Gates of Olympus and Gates of Olympus 1000
In the original, multiplier symbols run from 2x to 500x and winning symbols tumble away so new ones can drop in. In free spins, every multiplier that lands is added to a running total for the round. The 1000 edition stretches the symbol range to 1,000x and gives 15 free spins for 4 or more scatters. Its max win is 15,000x, against 5,000x for the original.
Sweet Bonanza and Sweet Bonanza 1000
Sweet Bonanza lists its 2x to 100x multiplier symbols in the 10 free spins started by 4 to 6 scatters, and the base game tumbles in the same way as Gates. Sweet Bonanza 1000 swaps those for candy bomb multipliers reaching 1,000x in free spins, which start with 4 or more lollipops. Its 25,000x max win is the highest of the 18.
Starlight Princess
Starlight Princess uses the same 2x to 500x range as the original Gates. Here the multipliers on screen are added together after each tumble, and in free spins they build a running total. Max win 5,000x.
Multiplier spots on a 7×7 cluster grid
Sugar Rush and Fruit Party pay on clusters: matching symbols have to touch. Both attach multipliers to positions or symbols on the grid rather than dropping separate multiplier symbols.
In Sugar Rush, a cluster needs 5 or more symbols, and every winning position is marked. Marked spots gain multipliers that double with further wins, through 2x, 4x and 8x to a ceiling of 128x. The spots stay for the whole free-spins round.
In Fruit Party, winning symbols can carry a 2x multiplier in the base game, and 2x or 4x in free spins. When several land in one win they combine, to a ceiling of 256x.
Wilds that carry a multiplier
In four games the wild does more than substitute: it brings its own multiplier.
The Dog House: wilds on reels 2 to 4 carry multipliers on its 20 lines, and in free spins they turn sticky, staying in place for the round. The max win is shown in the game info.
Wild West Gold: on a 5×4 grid, wilds carry 2x, 3x or 5x, and the values add together when wilds share a win, so a 3x and a 5x give 8x. They are sticky in free spins. Max win 10,000x.
Buffalo King Megaways: in 12 to 22 free spins, every wild carries 2x, 3x or 5x. Max win 5,000x.
Madame Destiny Megaways: wilds double wins, and a wheel sets both the free spins, as many as 12, and a multiplier reaching 25x.
Free-spin multipliers that climb
Great Rhino Megaways lets you choose the trade-off. Free spins come as 15 to 23 spins with a starting multiplier of 1x, 5x or 10x, and the multiplier grows by 1x with every tumble. Pick a 5x start, and after three tumbles the multiplier stands at 8x. The 20,000x max win is the second highest here.
Big Bass Bonanza works differently. In free spins the fisherman wild collects money symbols worth as much as 2,000x, and retriggers raise the multiplier on those collections to 10x. Max win 2,100x on 10 lines.
Five games built around another feature
Some players prefer a pokie where the bonus is easier to follow. These five lead with something other than a multiplier:
Big Bass Splash adds as many as five random modifiers before free spins, then wilds collect money symbols worth as much as 5,000x.
Floating Dragon Hold and Spin has Hold & Spin respins with diamond symbols worth as much as 4,993x, and free spins where wilds collect fish money symbols.
John Hunter and the Book of Tut uses a book that is wild and scatter, a special expanding symbol in free spins and unlimited retriggers.
Wolf Gold offers a Money Respin with three jackpots, the top one 1,000x, and giant symbols in free spins.
Joker's Jewels keeps to five lines; its joker pays as much as 1,000x and bonus symbols pay 10x to 250x anywhere.
Three multiplier styles to compare at betworld96
Sugar Rush
Multipliers that live on the grid. Clusters of 5 or more pay on a 7×7 board, winning spots are marked, and repeat hits double a spot's multiplier on the way to 128x. In free spins the spots stay put for the round. High volatility, 96.50% RTP and a max win of 5,000x the bet.
Multipliers that ride on winning symbols. Each can carry 2x, or 2x or 4x in free spins, and they combine to 256x. Pragmatic Play's own press release calls it high volatility. 96.50% RTP and a 5,000x max win.
Multipliers carried by wilds. Six Megaways reels give over 200,000 ways, and in 12 to 22 free spins every wild brings 2x, 3x or 5x to the wins it joins. High volatility, 96.52% RTP and a 5,000x max win.

A big multiplier is not the max win
A 500x or 1,000x multiplier symbol describes one feature value. The max win is the most a game can pay on one round, as a multiple of your bet, and Pragmatic Play publishes it separately: 5,000x for Gates of Olympus, 15,000x for the 1000 edition. Neither figure tells you how often a multiplier appears.
That is what volatility describes. Sixteen of these games are rated high, so long quiet spells are normal and larger results arrive less often. Wolf Gold is the one medium-rated game, and Joker's Jewels has no published rating.
RTP is the long-run share of stakes a game returns over a very large number of spins. Pragmatic Play offers casinos a choice of RTP settings; betworld96 runs each game on its default, highest setting, so the table figures, from 96.71% down to 96.01%, are the ones you play here.

Gates of Olympus 1000 and Sweet Bonanza 1000 both reach 1,000x: Gates through multiplier symbols, Sweet Bonanza 1000 through candy bombs in free spins. The original Gates of Olympus and Starlight Princess reach 500x.
How do the multiplier spots in Sugar Rush work?
Every winning position on the 7×7 grid is marked. Later wins on a marked spot give it a multiplier that doubles, as high as 128x, and in free spins the spots stay for the whole round.
What is a running total multiplier?
In the free spins of Gates of Olympus and Starlight Princess, each multiplier that lands is added to a total that carries on through the round instead of resetting after every spin.
Do wild multipliers add together in Wild West Gold?
Yes. Its wilds carry 2x, 3x or 5x, and when more than one is part of the same win their values are added. They are sticky in free spins.
Does a 1,000x multiplier mean I can win 1,000x my bet?
Not directly. A multiplier applies to the win it lands on. The max win is a separate figure, such as 15,000x the bet for Gates of Olympus 1000 or 5,000x for Sugar Rush.
