Steam Tower Slot Review
Have you got what it takes to rescue the Pricess and slay the Dragon? Steam Tower is a Netent slot machine which depicts the table of Victorian 8th Century during the industrial revolution.
If you know your history, this is when steam power was widely used especially with locomotive. Now, take this and add some spice in the form of some 'Dragon slaying to save the captured Princess' and you’ve summed up Steam Tower Slot quite nicely.
How to play Steam Tower Slot
Ok, we are the first to admit that Steam Tower has a totally odd twist to it, and that is combining the theme of the Victorian era with Dragons. We were perplexed, but having said that when you start playing you can see that it does work. The aim of Steam Tower it to quite literally climb the said Steam Tower to rescue the princess. Let us explain how.
Steam Tower is a Net Entertainment-powered video slot with 5 reels and 15 pay lines. To get started with Steam Tower, make sure you adjust the slot to your preferred setting and you’re in your betting comfort zone so you can really just enjoy yourself.
Steam Tower slot can be adjusted by the bet level and coin value per game round, respectively from 1 to 10 and then from £0.01 to £1.00. Any winning combinations are formed by identical symbols on any win line, going from left to the right. The special game features that Steam Tower offer are symbol substituting Wilds and Stacked Wilds that trigger Free Spins and Multipliers.
If you like to play big then Steam Tower won’t disappoint, but if you’re more of a leisure slots player then don’t worry, you can bet as small as you want. The minimum bet is 1 x 15 win lines x the coin value £0.01 = a £0.15 bet. If you want to go large then the maximum bet would be bet level 10 = 15 win lines x coin value £1.00 = a whopping £150 per spin!
Bonus Rounds & Extra Features
Symbol Substituting Wilds: In Steam Tower, the Wild symbols substitute all other symbols to create the highest coin win combination. During the main game and during the Free Spins mode, the Wild symbols can appear on any position on all reels.
Steam Tower also offers Stacked Wilds: When one or more Stacked Wilds appear this will be only during the main game but can cover the whole reel. Not only will they substitute for other symbols to create winning combinations, a Stacked Wild which covers the complete reel will set off 10 free spins as well.
Multipliers and Free Spins: This is where Steam Tower gets really interesting and is at the point of the game where fiction becomes action and you get to (aim to) save the princess. Of course if you save the princess that means you’ve managed to climb the Steam Tower, which in real life you’ll get your reward of some huge wins with multipliers.
As we just mentioned, a reel covered with stacked wilds sets off the 10 free spins round. Also during the Free Spins mode, you can start climbing the tower to be a hero. The steam tower has 16 floors which you’ll need to man up and climb up starting from floor one. There’s a very nice twist to this game as every floor offers a multiplier that’s applied to the winnings of each Free Spin. The floors are divided by the multipliers in this way:
- x2 multiplier: floor 1-3
- x3 multiplier: floor 4-6
- x4 multiplier: floor 7-9
- x5 multiplier: floor 10-12
- x6 multiplier: floor 13-15
- x7 multiplier: floor 16
Every time one or more Wild symbol (single, not stacked) appears after a Free Spin to the next floor is granted, 2 additional Free Spins are given. On the left hand side of the reels there is a floor and multiplier meter so you can watch it grow as you climb the tower and earn more and more wins.
You know that when you reach the top floor this is the main aim of the game, but what happens when you do? Well, reaching the top floor of the Steam Tower in the Free Spins mode will reward a bonus win of 1000 x the bet level that it was played on which is a great win. But also, Wild symbols can appear after this level is reached and 2 extra Free Spins are added which will also benefit from a x7 multiplier too.
Steam Tower Mobile Slot
Steam Tower Mobile Slot was also released the same day as they released the desktop slot. As mobile slots go, this has been adapted well and misses no features or lacks any graphics and soundtrack in the miniature version. Steam Tower is worth a look for all Mobile casino players.
Verdict?
Steam Tower Slot is an entertaining slot with a unique theme which originally baffled us a bit. But, having said that when we played, we found it quite exciting to get to the free spins round and try and up your way to the top for some decent cash wins.
Steam Tower is definitely a welcomed addition to the Netent slots catalogue, maybe not our favourite as we like bright cosmic colours such as top slots - The Invisible Man Slot or Spinata Grande. But even those can get boring sometimes. Steam Tower does however get you onto a rescue mission slash adventure, so you will be entertained, that's for sure.
