How To Play Pirots Mobile Slot
The Pirates have been sent walking, and all that’s left behind are the colourful Pirots and their dazzling gems in this beautiful Elk Gaming slot.
The Pirots slot is a 5×5 grid slot, but not in the most conventional ways. You get avalanching reels, but symbols pay only when you match the same colour bird and gems. The bird will walk along, collect the gems and allow more symbols to fall from above.
This is called the CollectR feature, and for it to work, you always have four birds land on the screen, leaving the paytable with only 4 coloured paying gems. Not much, you say?
Aaah, these pesky Pirots may land anywhere and rarely next to their colours. Thankfully the wily old birds have a few tricks up their sleeve to help you conquer the 7 seas and walk away with 10,000x your bet max win.
The first CollectR slot from Elk Studios
At first, we thought this would be just another gimmick, but we quickly enjoyed the quick wins and gameplay, especially as every win is added to the meter above the reels.
Once filled, you get three treasure chests filled with special bonus features – bonuses that can land on the reel anyway, giving this high volatility game a quick win grid slot feel that quickly charmed us.
The features can be as simple as a wild symbol, upgrading the gems to 5 times their value. That’s how you get the bigger wins; that and using the bombs to expand the reels up to 8×8, giving you more space for those parrots to roam the reels.
Pirots slot has a low RTP of 94%
We were having such fun; imagine our disappointment when we saw that this Pirots online slot only has an RTP of 94% – a little too low for our liking, even with the high wins of 10,000x your bet.
So no, we can’t give this Pirots slot review more than 4 stars, despite our enjoyment and the fun free spin bonus rounds.
In the free spins, all the features are sticky, so the upgraded symbols stay upgraded, the reels stay expanded, and the meter keeps collecting. No reset between spins.
It allows for bigger plunder of the reels, though with that low RTP, you’ll have to know when to walk away and try something with better odds, such as the Blood and Shadows slot by No Limit City.

Pirots Bonus Features
CollectR and Tumble Reels: A brand new way to pay out, you have two types of symbols - red, purple, green and blue birds, and red, purple, green and blue gemstones. Get the same bird colour next to the same colour gems, and the bird will collect the gems. You can collect up to 5 gems at a time.
Once you've collected the gems, more symbols will fall from above, but the birds stay on the reels.
Bird Switch: Adjacent birds might randomly switch places when there are no more wins.
Feature meter & feature symbols: Each symbol you collect is added to the feature meter. Once full, you'll get three chests of feature symbols. These are:
- Coin Wins: Pays the coin's value up to 500x your bet.
- Wilds: Substitutes for all symbols to create a bigger chain reaction of wins.
- Grid Expander: This bomb symbol explodes the symbols close to it, creating a redrop to fill empty symbol places. It also expands the game grid up to a maximum 8 rows and 8 columns.
- Symbol Upgrade: A White Gem upgrades the same colour as the bird that has collected it. A multicoloured gem will upgrade all the symbols on the reels. These can be upgraded up to 3 times.
- Symbol Transform: Transforms a cluster of gems around it into the same colour as the bird that collected it or into a random number of feature symbols.
- Bonus Symbols: Anchor symbols that, once you collect three, trigger the free spin bonus.
