What Pirots is and why Kiwis love it

Pirots is an ELK Studios pokie series about four parrots. The first game came out in March 2023 and five more have followed. There are no reels and no paylines. The birds walk the grid, collect gems of their own colour, and every gem pays on the spot.

That mechanic is called CollectR. Each new game adds its own twist: dinosaurs, gun duels, a space station, traps. We at Pirots.nz have played all six, and this is where we lay out how they differ.

CollectR mechanic: birds collect gems of their colour, upgrade symbols raise the levels

Pirots

Where CollectR began. Four parrots, a 5×5 grid, five gem levels and bombs that push the board out to 8×8. The easiest way to learn the rules.

Pirots 2

Seven amber levels for the first time, eggs that hatch dinosaurs, popcorn for empty cells and a red button that calls a meteor. Volatility 8 out of 10.

Pirots 3 pokie banner with the bandit vulture and a sheriff starGun duels

Pirots 3

Birds shoot it out in duels, a train drops up to three feature symbols and the bandit breaks out of jail. New coin game with scorpions and money bags.

Pirots 4

Three worlds in one game, a black hole that reshuffles the board, a space station with portals and Power Clash when three birds meet.

Pirots X pokie banner with an anchor and the red pirate parrotCluster pays

Pirots X

The spin-off without CollectR. Clusters of 5+ pay, wilds split and merge into multipliers, and the global multiplier sticks for the whole bonus.

Pirots 5

The newest chapter. Three worlds, portals in the walls, traps and catacomb fights. RTP depends on the casino (87–96%), so check the game info first.

Pirots 1, 2, 3, 4, X and 5 compared

Every game caps at 10,000× your bet and takes stakes from 0.20 to 100. What changes is the grid, the levels, the volatility and what a bonus buy costs.

Our read: Pirots, Pirots 4 and Pirots 5 are the calmer ones (7 out of 10). Pirots 2, 3 and X swing harder (8 out of 10). Pirots 5 is the only one where you need to check the RTP at your casino.

CollectR in 5 steps

  1. Birds on the grid. Four parrots: red, purple, green and blue. Each has its own colour.
  2. Collecting. A bird takes matching gems next to it, up, down, left or right, one step at a time.
  3. Features. Bombs, coins, wilds and upgrades can be picked up by any bird.
  4. Levels. Upgrades raise the gem values. Pirots has 5 levels, every later CollectR game has 7.
  5. Refill. Empty spots fill with new symbols and the round goes on while any bird can move.

A meter above the grid fills with every symbol collected, and a full meter brings new features. In the bonus, grid size, meter and levels all carry over. That’s the main reason a Pirots bonus can run so far.

Bonuses, coins and X-iter across the series

In every game the bonus starts the same way: three bonus symbols in one round. What differs is the coins you’ll see and what the Super Bonus costs.

The Max Win coin always pays whatever is left to reach 10,000× your bet. We haven’t seen one in our testing yet. It’s rare. Really rare.

Pirots 1, 2, 3, 4 and X all run at 94%. Pirots 5 comes in several versions from 87% to 96%, and the casino chooses which one you get. Every game caps out at 10,000× your bet.
