Pinup Girls

Review

There’s no denying that growing up with the Internet has changed what most people are exposed to, so the concept is hardly aimed to be provocative in this day and age. Somewhat paradoxically, this release will take you back to the far more innocent era of the 1950s, and you get to meet 4 somewhat provocatively dressed models. This includes a Marilyn Monroe-lookalike on the hood of a lipstick red car on the left-hand side.

Waves are hitting the idyllic beach in the backdrop, and the setting is an outside cocktail bar located in a private mansion garden. The estrogen is running high all the way through the 10-spin base game cycles, building position multipliers that will apply to wilds only. The same goes on in 5-spin cycles in the bonus round, with non-resetting multipliers. The 3,000x potential is a tad low for a volatile game, but fans of this theme will probably not mind too much.

Slot Features

Landing 5 premium symbols on a payline awards between 5 and 37.5 x your stake, and the premiums consist of shoes, perfume bottles, as well as the 4 character models. The red lips Wild symbol can land on reels 2, 3, and 4 only, and it steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild does not hold any value of its own, but it can be upgraded as we shall see below.

The 3 middle reels come with multipliers that are assigned randomly per spin, and random positions have their assigned multiplier increased by +1 per spin in 10-spin cycles. On the 10th and final spin of each cycle, all wilds that appear on the 3 middle reels take on the multiplier that’s assigned to their respective positions. The wild multipliers are added together if more than one is part of the same line win, and everything resets as the cycle starts anew.

When you land 3, 4, or 5 scatters in view the Bonus Round triggers, and this gives you 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. The wild multiplier cycle is 5 spins long in the bonus round, which means you get either 2, 3, or 4 cycles in total. Wilds that land mark positions, and all marked positions turn wild on the 5th spin. The marked positions reset between cycles, however.

The multipliers do not reset between the 5 spin cycles, and there is no way to retrigger the bonus round. Non-UK players can buy the bonus round for 100x the stake, and this gives you 3+ triggering scatters. The top-tier bonus buy RTP decreases to 96.33 %, and the organic bonus round hit rate is 1 in 224 spins.

The 200 Spins Slot Experience

You get to see two full 10-spin cycles in the base game, before we purchase the bonus round at 1:30 into the 3:34-minute highlights video. We landed the minimum of 3 scatters, which gave us 10 free spins, and you can see for yourself how our multiplier wild cycles played out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

is based around a concept that may provoke certain people, but has created a fairly innocent retro release that might have been provocative in the 1950s. That’s the era this game depicts after all, and the visuals are more likely to evoke nostalgia than anything else. The ladies look more like trophy housewives than glamour models, and most who grew up with an internet connection have probably seen far worse.

The spin cycle concept comes around once in a while, but usually it also comes with guaranteed wilds on the final spin. This is not the case in the base game of , so you need to get lucky to take advantage of the racked up multipliers. This all changes in the bonus round, where marked positions turn wild, but the 3,000x potential cements this as a mediocre installment that’s bound to repel as much as it appeals.
