We open every demo and lose play money. So you don't lose the real thing blind.
About Us & How We Rate Pirots
We're an independent guide to the Pirots slot series by ELK Studios. We test the demos, read the maths and write it up plainly. No casino owns us, and no game gets a free pass.
This page lays out who we are and how a review gets made. The short version: we play first, then judge.
How we review a Pirots slot
Every review follows the same five steps. No shortcuts, no copy-paste from a press release.
- We open the demo and play a real session first.
- We read the rules screen for RTP, volatility and the cap.
- We trigger each feature and note how it really pays.
- We compare it against the other Pirots games head to head.
- We write the pros and the cons with equal honesty.
What we promise
We show the same RTP that's in the game's rules screen. We don't round it up to look generous.
Cons get the same room as pros. A 94% game gets told it's a 94% game, plainly.
We name the real mechanic, the real max win and the real bonus costs. No invented stats, ever.
Where we stand on gambling
Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. We say that on every page for a reason.
The maths favours the house over time. High volatility means most sessions end down, not up.
Set a budget before you play. Stop when it's gone. If it stops being fun, walk away.
18+ only. If gambling is causing harm, free, confidential help is available in New Zealand. You don't have to wait until it's a crisis.
Why trust this site?
We play, then write
Every word comes after a real demo session. We don't review games we haven't opened ourselves.
We show our maths
RTP, max win, volatility and bonus costs are pulled straight from the games. You can check them yourself.
We stay independent
Affiliate links pay the bills, sure. But they never buy a better score or a softer verdict.
Start with a game
Every Pirots world, reviewed and ready.
About us FAQ
Are you a casino?
No. We don't take bets or hold money. We're an independent guide to the Pirots slot series. It's written for New Zealand players, 18 or over.
Do you test the games yourselves?
Yes. We play every demo and read the rules screen. Then we note how features actually behave. The reviews come from real sessions, not a press kit.
How do you make money?
Some play buttons are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, we may earn a fee. That never changes our RTP numbers or our verdicts.
Is gambling safe?
Gambling carries real risk and should only ever be entertainment. Never bet money you can't lose. If it stops being fun, stop, and reach out for help if you need it.
How often do you update reviews?
We revisit a page when a game changes or a fresh Pirots launches. The series moves fast, so the dates on each review matter.
