Steam Squad Slot Overview

Steam Squad is a new casino slot from Red Tiger Gaming with a somewhat odd team of three humans and a dog handling a flying steamship in a futuristic world. Houses soar in the sky, partly covered by white clouds, and in the middle of the screen is a grid that awards wins for landing 10 or more symbols of the same type, no matter where they end up. You can count on the Winning Wipeout system, which is a different cascade win mechanic than we’re used to. Instead of removing winning symbols, the game removes all non-winning symbols and refills the reels. Landing at least one more winning symbol will continue the wipeout until no new winning symbol appears.

Steam Squad is a video slot from Red Tiger Gaming with 6 reels and 6 rows. Wins are made by landing 10 or more symbols of the same kind anywhere on the grid. The Min.bet is 0.1, and the Max.bet is 20. You play the default game with an RTP of 95.64%, but be aware that Red Tiger Gaming also releases versions of 94.69%, 92.70%, and 90.75%. The volatility is high, and the max win is capped at 3,235X the bet. With a hit frequency of 29.28%, you score a win on about 3 spins of 10.

Getting to know the quirky team of the Steam Squad will also introduce you to the features Winning Wipeout, Amplifiers, Power Up, Booster Row, Free Spins, and Bonus Buy.

Steam Squad Slot Information

Steam Squad takes place in a world in the sky, where buildings seem to be soaring next to white clouds. The reels are in the middle of the screen in the cockpit of an air vessel. Next to it runs pipes, and golden cogwheels of different sizes spin clockwise and counter-clockwise. Above the reels are multipliers that change their values on every spin. You make wins by landing 10 or more symbols of the same kind anywhere on the grid, and you can play Steam Squad on mobile phones, notepads, and desktops.

The lower-paying symbols are purple, blue, green, orange, and yellow gemstones in different shapes. Making a win with 20 or more of them will get you between 5X and 10X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are:

  • A dog with a hat and glasses.
  • A man with pink hair and a gas mask.
  • A dark-haired woman with aviator glasses.
  • An older man with a white beard and hair.

This gang will give you between 12X and 25X the bet for wins of 20 or more symbols. There’s no Wild Symbol but a Scatter Symbol that can trigger the Free Spins.

Nine purple lower-paying symbols on the reels in the Free Spins.

Winning Wipeout

All winning symbols will stay in their positions when you make a win, and all other symbols except Scatters will be removed. New symbols will fill up the grid, and as long as one of them is your winning symbol, the wipeout process is repeated. The Wipeouts continue as long as you land winning symbols, and wins are paid at the end of the final wipeout.

Amplifiers

Random multipliers appear over each reel. Filling an entire reel with winning symbols activates the multiplier above that reel. The multiplier applies to the win at the end of the spin, and if several multipliers take part in a win, they’re added together. The multipliers can have the values of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, 6X, 7X, 8X, 9X, 10X, 12X, 15X, 20X, 25X, 30X, 40X, 50X, 75X, and 100X.

Power Up

A winning symbol can randomly power up and clone itself after a non-winning spin, filling the entire reel.

Booster Row

A metal frame can randomly appear around one of the rows. Filling the row with winning symbols activates a booster, which is triggered after no more winning symbols land in a wipeout. The booster will either create a winning symbol in place of a non-winning one and continue the wipeout or increase an active multiplier by 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. After the booster has been triggered, the metal frame will move to a higher row that isn’t filled with winning symbols.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatter Symbols anywhere on the grid triggers 8, 10, 12, or 15 Free Spins. The Booster Row is always active in the feature and may move between spins. Filling a reel with symbols will increase all multipliers by 1. The multipliers can increase until the feature ends.

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters during the bonus round awards 3, 5, 7, or 10 additional spins.

Bonus Buy

The Free Spins are for sale for 70X the bet. The Bonus Buy feature has an RTP of 96%, a bit higher than the regular game.

Steam Squad Slot Conclusion

Steam Squad takes players on a trip to a fantastical world where a dog and some quirky humans team up to pilot a flying steamship high in the clouds. The game awards wins for 10 or more symbols of the same type, no matter where they land on the grid. Also, instead of the typical cascade win mechanic, it features a Winning Wipeout system, which removes non-winning symbols and continues until no more winning symbols appear, offering a refreshing twist to the gameplay.

The backdrop of this steampunk-inspired world, complete with cogs and pipes, adds to the overall theme. Above every reel is a multiplier – a so-called Amplifier – that activates if you fill the reel with winning symbols. You can also trigger the Power Up feature, where a random symbol clones itself and fills an entire reel after a non-winning spin. 

Red Tiger Gaming has created a cool world with great graphics for the Steam Squad, and the game has innovative features. However, we can’t help thinking that something’s missing. The RTP of 95.64% and the max win of 3,235X the bet also lower the rating since they are both a bit below the industry average. A more successful game in the skies is Fantasma Games’ Cloud Corsairs, where the player takes a seat in a flying pirate ship cruising towards an airborne city.

Steam Squad by Red Tiger Gaming has a cascading win mechanic where winning symbols stay on the screen while the rest are removed.
