Belatra History

Belatra was founded in 1993 in Belarus. For a long time, it was called Belatra Limited and specialized exclusively in the development and supply of components for pokie machines: boards, electronic keys, electronic locks.

As of 2003, the portfolio consisted of only four pokies (Al Catraz, Lucky Drink, Merry Joiner, Viking's Fun) and eight video poker. But in 2004, Belatra became a part of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and industry, thinking about expanding its business. In the same year, the catalog was replenished with six new games. 2005 was a fateful year: Belatra began to produce its own one-armed bandits – with their screens, body, Board, and of course the content.

The Belarusian manufacturer began to appear more often at exhibitions: EELEX, ATEI, ICE. In 2006, the production of two-screen devices is being adjusted, the company is probing the South American market. The portfolio is growing, and more and more devices from "Belatra" occupy Central places in the halls of clubs in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus.

Not the most pleasant year was 2009, when gambling was banned in Ukraine and Russia at the same time.

In the second half of that year, the official website of the provider was unavailable for a long time, and rumors began to spread about the termination of the company. In fact, the portal was just updated, and no one was going to leave. Only during 2009 – 2010 visited ICE2009 and 2010, G2E, FADJA.

By 2011, the catalog Belatra was already more than 20 games: pokie machines, poker. The company was also the first to delegate its machine (Multi-Millionaire) to the newly formed register of machines in Belarus. The developer continued to produce machines and components, visit various exhibitions.

At one of these exhibitions in London (ICE) in 2017, Belatra Games agreed on a strategic partnership with SoftSwiss. Its essence was as follows: Belatra officially enters the online gambling market. From this moment a new page in the history of the company begins.

Belatra Best Pokies for New Zealanders

The offline and online portfolios of Belatra Games are slightly different. After signing a deal with SoftSwiss in 2017, it was decided to digitize the most popular products of the developer. Therefore, if the offline games by Belatra are more than 100, then online ones are a bit more than fifty. Moreover, some of the online pokies are new items that were released after 2017.

The most popular and successful provider release of all time is Lucky Drink.

This pokie is already two decades old, but it does not lose its popularity today. At its core, this is a simple machine with a 5x3 playing field and 10 pay lines. The gameplay is standard as for the games of the late 90s, early noughties: three or more scatters open free spins, before which a special prize symbol is selected. There is also a retrigger.

If we speak for something more modern, then here we note the highway Stars pokie machine. Here the gambler is waiting for 25 pay lines + wheel of fortune, in which you can hit a big jackpot. There is also a free spins mode.

From absolutely something new (the release took place in 2019) – Hungry Caterpillars. With quite standard mechanics (5x3, 9 pay lines), this pokie already has unusual gameplay: an interactive bonus game, expanding savages.

The vast majority of machines from Belatra are designed for five reels, three rows, and 9–25 pay lines. There are exceptions. For example, in Spanish Armada, there are 100 lines.

There are also classic three-reel one-armed bandits. The graphics in almost all games are 2D and Minimal animations are present when bonuses/free spins are activated and during prize rounds. Almost everywhere there is still a risk game.

In addition to pokie machines, in the online portfolio of Belatra Games, there are roulette and bingo (Just a Bingo).

Belatra roulette

The manufacturer Belatra offers three types of roulette games: Lucky Roulette, American Roulette and European Roulette.

Lucky Roulette is a classic European roulette with one zero. The design of the game table is as close as possible to a real mechanical roulette. Here is everything: the field for betting, the so-called “track”, the wheel on which the virtual ball will be thrown, and even the table of “cold” and “hot” cells, that is, the numbers that are the most rare and most often fall out recently. There is also a Wheel of Fortune jackpot feature in the game.

American Roulette is an American version of roulette with two zeros: 0 and 00. Belatra's American Roulette features the same interface elements as the other roulette versions from the manufacturer, as well as the Wheel of Fortune jackpot. In this game you can independently change the color of the game table.

European Roulette is a roulette with European rules. In the game there are many betting options from bets with small odds of 2: 1 (bets “red-black”, “even-odd”, “small-big”) to bets with maximum odds of 36: 1 (bet on the number). The interface features are the same as in other roulette versions from the manufacturer. Wheel of Fortune jackpot is present.
