Mythoswin Jackpots: Olympus Jackpots

Olympus Jackpots run four tiers across selected Mythoswin slots, from daily drops to a progressive Zeus pot. Here's how each one works.

On this page

Olympus Jackpots are Mythoswin’s shared jackpot network, running across four tiers on selected slots. This page explains how each tier works, how often they drop, and which slots carry the feature — information worth checking before you assume every spin in the lobby is contributing to a jackpot pot.

The four tiers

TierSizeDrop pattern
HermesMiniDrops daily
AthenaMinorDrops daily
ApolloMajorDrops weekly
ZeusGrandProgressive, seeded at £50,000

Hermes and Athena are the two smaller, more frequent tiers — both set to drop at least once a day on participating slots, which keeps them feeling reachable rather than a once-in-a-blue-moon event. Apollo steps up in size but drops only weekly, and Zeus is the headline pot: a progressive jackpot that starts at £50,000 and climbs as real-money spins are placed on eligible slots, right up until someone wins it, at which point it resets and the climb starts again.

How triggering works

Any real-money spin on a slot carrying the Olympus Jackpots feature is eligible for all four tiers — there’s no separate side bet to place and no extra stake required beyond your normal spin. That’s a meaningfully different model from jackpot features that charge an additional side-stake for a chance at the pot; here, ordinary play on a participating slot is enough. The trade-off is that only slots with the Olympus Jackpots badge feed into, and can win from, the four shared tiers — spinning a slot without that badge still plays for its own built-in top prize, but it won’t touch Hermes, Athena, Apollo or Zeus.

Check the badge, not just the slot

Not every slot in the Mythoswin lobby carries Olympus Jackpots. Look for the jackpot badge or label on a game tile before assuming a spin is contributing to or eligible for any of the four tiers.

Which slots are eligible

Mythoswin doesn’t restrict Olympus Jackpots to a single studio — eligible titles are marked individually in the lobby, so the quickest way to find one is to filter or browse for the jackpot badge rather than guessing by studio or theme. If you already have a favourite slot in mind, its own information screen will confirm whether it’s part of the Olympus Jackpots network. For a wider look at the slots catalogue these jackpots sit on top of, see the Mythoswin slots guide, which covers studios, average RTP and how the welcome bonus’s stake limits interact with jackpot-eligible titles.

Progressive versus fixed-schedule jackpots

It’s worth understanding the difference between Zeus and the other three tiers. Hermes, Athena and Apollo pay out on a schedule — daily for the first two, weekly for Apollo — regardless of how large the pot has grown in that period, so their size is comparatively predictable. Zeus has no fixed payout date: it keeps growing from its £50,000 seed until a qualifying spin wins it, which means its size at any given moment depends on how long it’s been since the last win. Neither structure is “better” — fixed-schedule tiers give you a predictable, recurring chance, while the progressive tier can grow substantially the longer it runs.

Jackpots and the welcome bonus

The welcome bonus (100% up to £500 + 150 Free Spins) doesn’t change how Olympus Jackpots work, but it’s worth remembering that bonus-fund play on slots is capped at £5 per spin (£2 for players aged 18–24) while a bonus is active, under the UK’s online slot stake limits. The jackpot feature itself still requires a real-money spin to trigger, so checking a slot’s bonus terms or in-game screen is the reliable way to confirm how your stake and bonus funds interact with its jackpot eligibility. Full bonus terms are on the promotions hub and the wagering requirements guide.

Jackpots on mobile

Olympus Jackpots work identically whether you’re spinning from a desktop browser or a phone — the feature is part of the slot itself rather than a separate app or module, so there’s nothing extra to install. Mythoswin is browser-based and fully responsive across iOS 15+ and Android 9+, and you can add it to your home screen as a web app for quicker access, with the same account, cash balance and jackpot eligibility carrying across both devices. If you tend to play across a few different sessions on different devices, there’s no need to track which one triggered a drop — it’s tied to your account rather than the device you were using at the time.

What happens when a jackpot drops

When one of the four tiers drops, the win is paid into your cash balance in the normal way, the same balance your ordinary spin winnings land in. Because it’s cash rather than bonus funds, there’s no wagering requirement attached to a jackpot win itself — it follows the standard withdrawals process once you’re ready to cash out, approved within 3 hours for verified accounts, 24/7. The Hermes and Athena tiers resetting daily, and Apollo weekly, means the pots don’t sit idle for long after a win before building towards the next drop.

Finding your way back to the lobby

Jackpots are one part of a much bigger slots catalogue, which itself sits alongside live casino and the sportsbook in the wider Mythoswin lobby. The games hub is the quickest way to move between all four sections, and the registration guide covers what you’ll need to set up a verified account before chasing any of the four tiers with real money.

Quick answers

What are the four Olympus Jackpots tiers?

+

Olympus Jackpots run four tiers: Hermes (Mini, drops daily), Athena (Minor, drops daily), Apollo (Major, drops weekly) and Zeus (Grand, progressive, seeded at £50,000). All four sit on selected slots in the Mythoswin lobby, and any real-money spin on a participating title can trigger one.

Do I need to place a side bet to win a jackpot?

+

No. Any real-money spin on a slot carrying the Olympus Jackpots feature is eligible for all four tiers, with no extra side bet to place and no separate stake required. The jackpot chance is built into ordinary real-money play on a participating title.

What does 'progressive' mean for the Zeus jackpot?

+

Progressive means the Zeus (Grand) jackpot grows over time rather than staying fixed, seeded at £50,000 and increasing as players make real-money spins on participating slots, until someone wins it and it resets. The other three tiers — Hermes, Athena and Apollo — drop on a set schedule rather than growing progressively.

How often do the Mini and Minor jackpots drop?

+

The Hermes (Mini) and Athena (Minor) jackpots both drop daily, so there's a fresh chance every day on participating slots. The Apollo (Major) tier drops weekly, and the Zeus (Grand) tier is progressive with no fixed drop schedule — it pays out whenever a qualifying spin wins it.

Can bonus funds trigger a jackpot?

+

The jackpots require a real-money spin on a participating slot, so cash balance play on an eligible title is what counts towards triggering Hermes, Athena, Apollo or Zeus. Checking a specific slot's bonus terms or its in-game information screen is the reliable way to confirm how its stake and funds interact with the jackpot feature.
