Pirots Slot Review
Pirate-themed Slots are Extremely Popular, after all, who wouldn't want to embark on a high-seas adventure in search of hidden treasures? ELK Studios understands this well, but instead of a typical pirate crew, you'll be joined by colourful parrots. That's where the name of the slot, Pirots, comes from - a clever blend of 'Pi' + 'rots'. A fun play on words, just like the unique mechanics that will surprise you from the very first spin. Trust me! The setting is reminiscent of those romantic Caribbean landscapes, with lush greenery and crystal-clear waters. All hands on deck!

Key Game Details
The slot features a standard 5x5 grid, which can expand up to 8x8. The theoretical RTP remains at 94%, which might seem a bit low, but it's quite normal for ELK's mathematical model. Volatility is rated Medium-High, with a betting range from €0.2 to €100 per spin. Activating Bonus Hunt (at x3 your base bet) increases your chances of triggering Free Spins.
The mechanics are incredibly simple: each spin drops different coloured parrots onto the reels, along with matching coloured gems and other bonus symbols. The parrots move across the grid, collecting only the gems that match their own colour. There are four gem colours, just like the parrots: green, purple, red and blue.

Bonus Feature
As mentioned above, the birds collect gems of their own colour, and can also collect feature symbols. Each collection fills a meter above the game grid, and once the meter is full, a feature award is triggered. After that, three gem symbols are transformed into feature symbols, just before no more collections can be made. You can collect and activate multiple feature rewards at once. If there are no more possible wins but there's still a chance to form a winning cluster, nearby birds may swap places to make it happen. Now, let's break down the 6 feature types:
- Wild - substitutes for any gem symbol.
- Transform Symbol - turns a cluster of gems into either the colour of the collecting bird or feature symbols.
- Upgrade Symbol - upgrades the bird's gems to a higher payout level.
- Coins - award the displayed cash value.
- Bomb - collected bombs explode nearby symbols, causing a redrop. The grid can expand up to 8x8 this way.
Just like before, collecting 3 Scatters will trigger the Free Drops Bonus Round, giving you 5 free spins. The gem win levels stay persistent throughout the bonus. Collecting 3 more bonus symbols during the round will award additional drops.
Also, all bonus features we've discussed are available through the Bonus Buy option.
Verdict
Pirots is the release that became a signature title for ELK Studios, leading to the creation of several sequels thanks to the original's widespread popularity. And it's no wonder, its unique gameplay stands out from traditional reel-based slots, to the point where each spin can last noticeably longer than what you're used to. At first glance, it might seem complex or even confusing, but once you get the hang of it, you'll experience a fresh wave of excitement. And helping you stay hooked is the massive x10,000 max win, making this adventure well worth the dive.
