Steam Tower

Steam Tower is NetEnt's steampunk slot, a brass-and-steam adventure in which a caped hero climbs a towering elevator shaft to rescue a captive at the top, and it has held a solid Canadian following since its 2015 release. Canadian players who look up the Steam Tower slot or its RTP are usually drawn by the Victorian sci-fi styling and one of the higher return figures NetEnt has put its name to. You can play the free demo above in play money, with no account or deposit, and watch the climbing free spins in action before betting in Canadian dollars.

How Steam Tower plays

Steam Tower is a 5 reel, 3 row slot with 15 fixed paylines, and wins form from left to right along those lines. The hero serves as a stacked wild, appearing on the central reels and substituting for the standard steampunk symbols to complete combinations. Its defining feature fires when a wild lands and the hero shoots his grappling gun, launching the free spins and beginning his climb up the tower. Every additional wild during the feature lifts him another floor and adds more spins, and the higher he climbs the bigger the win multiplier grows. It starts small at ground level and increases as he ascends, so a free spins run that keeps delivering wilds turns modest line wins into far larger ones.

Steam Tower RTP, volatility and max win

The published RTP for Steam Tower is 97.04 percent, comfortably above the 96 percent typical of NetEnt titles and a major reason the game still stands up. This is a medium volatility slot, so wins land at a reasonably steady rate rather than in rare spikes, which makes it easy to enjoy over a longer session. The top prize is 1,000 times your stake, reached when the multiplier climbs high during a good free spins run. The RTP and max win in the stats panel above match these verified figures.

Playing Steam Tower in Canada

Steam Tower can be played at the online casinos serving Canadian players shown on this page, in Canadian dollars once you have an account. The regulatory picture varies by province: Ontario runs a fully regulated online market through iGaming Ontario and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), while players in the rest of Canada generally use casinos licensed offshore. The free demo at the top of the page is play money, requires no account or deposit, and lets you explore the climbing multiplier feature before choosing a real-money casino from the list that suits your province.

Is Steam Tower worth playing?

Steam Tower is worth a look if you like a bold, unusual theme backed by a high RTP and a feature that rewards patience. The climbing free spins give every wild a real purpose, the medium variance keeps things steady, and 97.04 percent is a strong return for a slot of this age. It will not suit players chasing only enormous jackpots, since the 1,000x ceiling is moderate.
