100 Spins of Steam Punk Heroes

March 27, 2012

Today we are going to bring you a 100 spins analysis of Steam Punk Heroes, an online slot developed by Microgaming. We played Steam Punk Heroes at All Slots Online Casino.

Now before we get into details, let’s just take a quick look at this online slot from an aesthetics point of view. It is a great looking slot, with excellent animations and a great soundtrack. If you are into the steam punk genre, then you will love this online slot.

Steam Punk Heroes is something of an oddity. It is a 25 pay line, themed online slot, but it does not have a bonus feature. It does have a free spins feature, but it is strange to find a slot like this that does not come with one or more actual side game bonus features.

We started with an opening balance of 18,147 coins, and played the maximum 25 pay lines, at a coins size of 0.20 with 10 coins wagered per line, this meant a massive wager of 250 coins per spin.

Steam Punk Heroes Wins

Out of 100 spins we had 47 wins, which is a pretty high percentage and something we would expect from a 25 pay line online slot with both scatter symbols and wild symbols. However, where Steam Punk Heroes is different from other online slot is in the average value of wins. Usually, when playing an online slot that pays a win frequently, they are mostly small wins, lower than the original wager. However, Steam Punk Heroes seems to pay out much higher wins, with about 50% of them being over the wagered amount.

Steam Punk Heroes Biggest Win

We had four pretty healthy wins of 2,200, 2120, 2,060 and 1,140. Each of these was a straight reel win. This shows how different Steam Punk Heroes pay structure is compared to other themed online slots with a high number of pay lines and we think this is due to the free spins feature, more on that blow.

Steam Punk Heroes Scatter Symbols and Wild Symbols

In what has become the standard format, the scatter symbol (the Steam Punk Heroes logo) takes a duel role. Firstly as a normal scatter symbol, giving back a double wager win if two spin in anywhere on the reels, and secondly as the free spin feature trigger for three or more. The wild symbol (a graphic of the word wild) does not spin in very often.

Steam Punk Heroes Free Spins

We didn’t manage to trigger the free spins feature during our 100 spins. We really wanted to get a glimpse of how it worked, so we kept playing. We eventually went broke chasing the free spins feature, after making more than 500 spins. Our advice to anyone playing Steam Punk Heroes is to ignore the free spins feature, it seems to trigger rarely, and we think this is why actual reel wins pay out higher than other online slots.

We ended up with 14,007 coins after 100 spins, meaning a net loss of 4,140 coins. If we had not played an additional 400 spins to try and trigger the free spins bonus feature we would have presumed we had been unlucky not benefiting from it at least once in 100 spins. However, after 500 spins we had not seen it a single time, and that stretches the idea that it was sheer bad luck a little too far.
