Pinup girls were the original influencers, rocking killer curves and cheeky winks long before TikTok made thirst traps mainstream. They plastered barracks, calendars, and teenage dreams, proving you didn’t need OnlyFans to make a living off a sultry pose. Equal parts classy and sassy, they turned “oops, my skirt’s too short” into an art form—and we’ve been grateful ever since. I for one would be happy to go back to a time before filters, photoshop, and botched plastic surgery.
Fortunately, Belatra seems to share my yearning for a taste of the good old days, serving up retro vibes with their new Cafe Pin-Up slot—no avocado toast or influencer selfies in sight.
Welcome to the 1950s
During the Cafe Pin-Up slot’s base gameplay, stacked wilds play a key role in boosting your wins. If two or more stacked wilds land, whether partially or fully stacked, they will nudge into a fully stacked position on the reels. This triggers one respin for each stacked wild, and all wilds lock in place during these respins, giving you an exciting chance to stack up even more winning combinations.
The free spins feature is triggered when three or more scatter symbols land on the reels. Depending on the number of scatters, you’ll receive seven free spins for three scatters, eight for four, and nine for five.
During a round of free spins, all stacked wilds are automatically nudged into a fully stacked position. The number of spaces they nudge determines a multiplier value that’s applied to the wild. Once nudged, the wilds lock in place, creating massive potential for big wins throughout the round.
For those who don’t want to wait for these features to trigger naturally, the game offers the option to buy a respin bonus or a free spins round. This lets you dive straight into the action and enjoy the slot’s best features on demand.
Will the Cafe Pin-Up slot replace coffee as your morning pick-me-up?
The Cafe Pin-Up slot lets you bet as little as $0.20 or go big with up to $50 per spin. At max bet, you could pocket up to $250,000 thanks to the impressive 5,000x multiplier. With high volatility, don’t expect small, frequent wins—this slot plays hard to get, but those rare big payouts make the chase worth it. The RTP stands at 96.16%.
As soon as you launch the Cafe Pin-Up slot you can tell that a lot of thought and effort has been put into the slot. The first screen with the play button is a beautiful illustration that is never used again. It’s just there to bring you into the world. It’s an unnecessary effort but one that adds so much to the experience. The rest of the slot doesn’t disappoint either, with the illustration and animation bursting with life. The slot also happens to have some great bonus features and some fun gameplay. It’s a great little slot. I give the Cafe Pin-Up slot a ten out of ten.
If you’re looking for a few other Belatra slots to try out, I recommend Tortuga CodeX and 7 Days Anotherland.
