Pirots 2 Slot Review
After the success of Pirots, ELK Studio isn't ready to say goodbye to our feathered friends just yet. This time, they're taking them on a prehistoric adventure, deep into the jungle surrounded by dinosaurs. But don't worry, the developers aren't cruel enough to send our birds straight into the jaws of terrifying predators. Instead, they've placed them in what looks like a themed amusement park, complete with rollercoasters and a strong Jurassic World vibe. A fun concept for sure, but things get even more interesting when we break down the gameplay.
Pirots 2 Slot by ELK Studios Video Review
Info
As always, ELK Studio keeps things dynamic. The game starts with a 6x6 grid, but it has the potential to expand up to 8x8. On each spin, four birds, coloured blue, green, purple and red appear on the reels. Each bird collects amber payout symbols matching their color, as well as feature symbols while moving across the grid. If three or four birds align horizontally or vertically, they battle, collecting Scatters, Coins, Eggs, or Red Buttons.
The RTP is 94%, which isn't too exciting but still manageable, while the volatility is high. As for bets, you can wager anywhere between €0.2 and €100 per round.

Bonus Feature
Keep an eye on the counter above the reels, which fills up every time a bird collects an amber symbol or a Wild symbol count. The counter's progress resets with each spin. Once it's full, one pending feature symbol is released, replacing a random amber symbol on the reels. Up to 3 feature symbols can be stacked, and they all activate at the same time when birds can no longer collect amber symbols, before egg hatching, a meteor strike, or as part of the first free drop in the bonus game. Now, let's break down the 9 different feature symbols:
- Upgrade symbols – randomly upgrades one amber symbol by 1 to 3 steps.
- Upgrade all – randomly upgrades all four amber symbols by 1 to 3 steps.
- Wild – substitutes for amber symbols at their current payout level.
- Egg – when collected, a dinosaur hatches at the end of the game round. Birds get scared away and drop again in new positions.
- Coins – displays a prize value that can be collected.
- Red Button – triggers a meteor strike at the end of the spin, removing amber symbols and expanding the game grid.
- Popcorn – fills empty spaces on the grid, allowing birds to move towards other symbols.
- Mushroom – transforms a cluster of amber symbols next to a bird into the same colour as the bird that collected the mushroom. It can also turn amber symbols into feature symbols.
Collecting 3 Dino Skull Scatters triggers the Free Spins round with 5 spins. The progress from the counter carries over into the bonus game. Additionally, the grid size, counter progress, scatter collection and amber payout levels remain persistent during Free Spins. Collecting 3 more scatters awards additional Free Spins.
Verdict
Overall, Pirots 2 remains a solid slot with ELK's signature unique gameplay mechanics, where rounds can last much longer than the usual spin-and-result format. The features won't disappoint either, as their frequency depends on the birds, which eagerly collect their amber symbols. The max win stays unchanged at x10,000, a typical choice by the provider, which rarely tweaks the math model in sequels but introduces significant mechanical changes. If you enjoyed the mechanics of the original Pirots, this one is definitely worth a try!
