The reel grid sits inside an open-air stone temple framed by two tall gold Corinthian-style columns with lightning-bolt ornaments near their capitals, under a bright blue sky with white clouds.",

This looks like a provider-side catalog renaming of the same underlying game, not a second in-game name.
