ABOUT
Experience the glamor of the 1940s in the United States in Pragmatic Play’s slot Pinup Girls! Reviving the ravishing style and atmosphere of this decade, the studio brings to the reels models of immense beauty and fascinating fashion looks along with powerful gaming dynamics and hefty multipliers.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
The Pinup Girls’ 5x4 grid holds 20 paylines and works on the basics of 10 spins meaning that each time a player spins the reels for the 10th time, something special might occur. There are several RTP models available, the highest one being 96.44%, while volatility is marked as high with Pragmatic Play giving it 5/5 rating.
The lower part of the paytable is occupied by the classic upper card symbols while the high-value symbols include 4 different pinup girls. For a winning combo players have to land at least 3 matching symbols on the 20 paylines. The Wild that appears on the middle 3 reels can substitute for all symbols bar Scatter and help in the creation of those winning combos.
During the gameplay, the positions on the middle 3 reels hold a certain multiplier which can be increased by 1x in every spin during the 10-spin cycle. These values stick to the screen until the 10th spin happens when all of the Wilds that land on these reels will adopt the multiplier attached to their position. If the Wild is a part of any win, its multiplier will be applied to the winning amount. After the 10th spin, the multiplier reset back to 1x and the whole process starts again.
Pinup Girls slot also comes with a Free Spins bonus round which gets triggered by landing at least 3 Scatters. Depending on the number of Scatters landed, a player is rewarded with 10, 15, or 20 free spins. Multipliers are also present in the bonus round as well as the progressive feature but it happens on every 5th spin, not 10th.
Each Wild that shows on the reels in free spins, marks the position and on the 5th spin, those positions transfer into Wilds and take the multipliers of the position. Another important thing about multipliers in the bonus round is that they do not reset on the 5th spin which means they can get pretty hefty and provide some stunning wins. However, free spins can’t be retriggered.
Pragmatic Play also provides a Bonus Buy option for the players who want to go straight to the free spins round. This will cost them 100x the bet and the number of spins they get will be randomly decided.
Roshtein’s Take
Overall, an amazing-looking slot with a pretty decent winning potential of 3,000x and a good batch of bonus features. The progressive 10-spin cycle is not something you see often so it’s an interesting change of pace. It builds the excitement within the base game and gives you something to look forward to constantly.
I appreciate the fact that the cycle was lowered to every 5th spin in the bonus round and how Wilds are even more strongly incorporated into the game during free spins but the fact that retriggering is not an option bugs me. That would bring more power to the slot and make it a true gem in Pragmatic Play’s portfolio.
