From my knowledge in KSP, in a nutshell if you pass by a large gravitational mass on one side you'll speed up, but if you pass on the other side you'll slow down. Throw in an engine burn across the periapse (closest point) and you'll amplify that much more.
Combining gravity assists and the oberth effect is great
