Steam Tower Slot Review

Welcome to the Steam Tower Slot Machine

As soon as I fired up Steam Tower, the Victorian steampunk vibe hit me straight away. NetEnt has built a five reel, three row, 15 payline video slot where you team up with a bearded engineer packing a grappling gun. Stakes run from 0.15 to 150 per spin, with medium volatility and a generous theoretical RTP profile, so it suits low rollers and high rollers who like steady, story-driven play.

Your mission in Steam Tower is simple on paper and brutal in practice. You climb a mechanical tower, floor by floor, to rescue the princess from a dragon at the top. Every time the bonus triggers, meters under the reels show your current floor, multiplier, and tower position. I find that small touch handy during longer sessions, as you always know how close you are to the big payouts.

What keeps me coming back to Steam Tower is that the tower climb is far from guaranteed. Reaching the sixteenth floor and slaying the dragon feels rare, which gives the game proper long term appeal. At the same time the base game spins along briskly, helped by autoplay and quick spin options, so it never feels like you are just waiting around for the feature and nothing else.

RTP and Volatility - Amazing RTP for the Steam Tower video slot

For me the RTP is one of Steam Tower's biggest selling points. The default return rate can be as high as 98.02 percent, with common configurations around 97 percent, though some operators use lower settings, so I always check the paytable before I start. Volatility sits in the medium bracket, so you see a stream of smaller hits punctuated by bigger tower climb payouts when the multipliers kick in.

Graphics and Theme - Join the Steam Tower adventure With the Bearded Hero

Visually Steam Tower hits that classic NetEnt sweet spot between clean design and detailed theme. The reels sit against a rusty iron tower, symbols sit on metal plates with cogs spinning behind them, and the bearded hero stands to the left holding his grappling gun. The princess and dragon both look straight out of a Victorian fantasy comic, which suits the whole damsel in distress storyline very well.

The animations in Steam Tower keep things feeling lively without getting in the way. Wilds stretch, the tower meters tick upwards, and the soundscape mixes mechanical hisses with an adventurous score. I like playing this one with the volume on, as those audio cues help build tension when you are deep into a free spins run and edging closer to the higher multiplier floors.

Steam Tower Symbols and Earning Potential

Steam Tower keeps the symbol set straightforward. Low pays are the J, Q, K, and A card suits, paying from around 3.33x up to 10x your total bet for five of a kind, depending on the symbol. High paying icons are the tower, the princess, the engineer hero, and the dragon's eye. The dragon's eye is the premium hit and can reach up to 2000x your payline stake.

On paper Steam Tower caps out at around 2000x your bet, which puts it below many modern high variance monsters but still very respectable for an older NetEnt. Where the slot shines is how those symbol values interact with the multipliers. Land a screen packed with dragon eyes or inventors while sitting on a 5x, 6x, or 7x floor, and the win numbers start looking very healthy indeed.

Bonus features - Exciting Steam Tower Free spins, Wilds and Scatters

The real action in Steam Tower comes from its wild mechanics. The green grappling hook is the standard Wild and substitutes for every regular symbol. Then you have the stacked Wild showing the engineer, which can land on reels two, three, or four. When that stacked hero fills a reel, you trigger 10 free spins and get hauled straight up to the first floor of the tower bonus.

During free spins in Steam Tower, the stacked hero no longer appears, so your progress relies on the grappling hook Wild. Every Wild that lands adds two extra free spins and moves you one floor higher. Floors one to three carry a 2x multiplier, then three floors at 3x, three at 4x, three at 5x, three at 6x, and the sixteenth floor tops out at a chunky 7x.

If you manage to claw your way to floor sixteen in Steam Tower, the game throws in a flat 1000 coin prize on top, multiplied by your bet level, so that final spin can be very satisfying. In practice the climb is tough and most bonuses fizzle out on the lower levels. That heavy focus on free spins means dry spells can feel long, but the good runs are proper nail-biters.

Is Steam Tower Playable on Mobile or Tablet

On the technical side Steam Tower runs smoothly on every device I have tried. NetEnt's mobile platform handles the slot well on phones and tablets, whether you are using Android or iOS. The layout shifts slightly to fit smaller screens, but you still get the same 5x3 grid, 15 fixed paylines, quick spin, and autoplay options, plus all the meters that track your floor and multiplier.

Touch controls in Steam Tower feel responsive, so tapping the spin button or changing stake never becomes a chore. If you are on an older handset or laptop, dropping the graphics quality a notch in the settings menu can help the reels spin more cleanly. I have done that on a dated tablet and the game still kept the core atmosphere, just with fewer visual flourishes.

Final Verdict of Steam Tower

After many sessions with Steam Tower I see it as a very solid adventure slot rather than a modern high risk jackpot hunt. The steampunk story, climbing mechanic, and progressive multipliers give it real charm, while the high RTP and medium volatility keep bankroll damage under control if you play sensibly. The max win of around 2000x will not change your life, but the journey up that tower feels great when it clicks.
