Wins are generated by the four birds moving to collect adjacent gems of their own color. As they move, they clear the path for new symbols to drop in.

What is the CollectR mechanic?

It's ELK Studios' unique system where symbols don't pay on lines. Instead, character symbols (the birds) physically move across the grid to 'eat' paying symbols.

Are there Free Spins?

Yes, collecting 3 Bonus symbols triggers the Free Drops bonus game. During this round, the grid size can expand up to 8x8, and gem upgrades remain sticky.

You can win up to 10,000x your bet in a single round, usually through a combination of high-level gems and multiplier coins.

Pirots Slot Review 2025

Pirots by ELK Studios is one of the most innovative slots released in recent years. It ditches traditional paylines and cluster pays for the unique CollectR™ mechanic. The game features four pirate parrots (Pirots) who land on the grid and move around to collect gems of their corresponding color.

The game starts on a 5x5 grid but can expand up to 8x8 during gameplay. The animations are charming, and the gameplay is unlike anything else, making it a must-try for players looking for something fresh.

How to Win at Pirots: A Kiwi's Guide

Winning is all about the birds. A red bird collects red gems, a blue bird collects blue gems, and so on. They can move horizontally or vertically to reach adjacent gems.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the "Upgrade" symbols (white arrows). When a bird collects these, the value of all gems of that color increases permanently for the rest of the round. Fully upgraded gems pay massive amounts.

1. Feature Symbols

Birds can also collect special symbols:

Bomb: Explodes to remove nearby symbols and expands the grid size.
Coin: Pays an instant cash prize (up to 500x!).
Wild: Substitutes for any gem color.

2. Free Drops (Bonus Game)

Collect 3 Bonus symbols (anchors) to trigger 5 Free Drops.
- The grid size does not reset between drops.
- Gem upgrades are persistent (they don't reset).
- This is where the 10,000x max win potential becomes real.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is the RTP lower (94%)?

ELK Studios has standardized their games to 94% RTP recently. While lower than average, the unique gameplay and high max win potential balance it out for many players.

Can I buy the bonus?

Yes, via the X-iter™ menu. You can buy the standard bonus or a "Super Bonus" played on the maximum 8x8 grid.

Is it hard to understand?

It might look confusing for the first few spins, but you'll quickly get the hang of watching the birds move and eat gems.

Does it work on mobile?

Absolutely. ELK Studios designs games "Mobile First," so Pirots plays beautifully on any smartphone.
