About Pirots

ELK Studios’ Pirots slot game takes a unique approach to history’s ocean raiders by replacing them with their feathered companions. That’s right, Pirots is about pirate parrots.

Pirots takes place in the rigging of a ship on an expandable 5x5 grid populated by gems and parrots. The game is feature-rich, but everything is based on collecting symbols rather than finding ways to activate minigames.

Pirots Gameplay

There are a lot of symbols in the Pirots slot, but by far, the most obvious are the four bird characters. These are green, red, pink, and blue. All the gems on the reels relate to a particular parrot, which brings us to Pirots' main feature - symbol collection.

If a bird winds up sitting next to a gem of the same colour, it will collect all of them nearby. This is what the Pirots slot game calls its winning combinations. This also means that there are no standard paylines in this game.

As for the special symbols, the Pirots slot has a ‘W’ wild stop, a bomb, which destroys all symbols nearby, and a series of coin multipliers. These are activated when your pirate parrots travel over them.

Instead of the standard playing card symbols that are common to slots, Pirots has 20 different gems of different ranks. Blue is the least valuable, worth between 0.05 and 3.00, while red goes for 0.25 to 15.00.

You can also pick up transform symbols, like the barrel of rum. This one changes the colour of nearby gems. The white arrow pointing upwards increases the rank of gemstones.

Pirots Bonus Features

Aside from the extensive range of modifiers and special symbols, Pirots only has a single ‘true’ bonus game, making this particular slot gameplay more straightforward.

Bonus Game

The Pirot slot’s unnamed bonus game involves collecting three anchor symbols. Once found, the player gets five free drops, i.e. special symbols. Also, fill the related treasure meter to increase the size of the game’s grid.

Within the bonus game, all progressive features - which include symbol upgrade status, the collection meter and grid size - do not reset between spins.

Pirots Review

All the standard pirate tropes are here in the Pirots slot game. However, Pirots’ biggest selling point is the fact that the four birds serve as paylines, moving in straight lines.

As we discussed earlier, it can be a little difficult to get started with, but, like all slots, it mostly plays itself. You can also find information on the special features within the in-game menu to refer to when playing.
