What’s new in Pirots 5

Pirots 5 launched on 23 July 2026 with the Cursed Temple world. The Kraken and City of Gold joined the same game later. The core stays: birds collect their own colour, seven levels, a bonus with a Super Bonus.

What’s new is the layout of the board. Portals and tunnels in the walls, traps on the grid, catacombs with fights in the corners. One more thing that matters: RTP ranges from 87% to 96% depending on the casino. Check it in the game info.

Pirots 5 Cursed Temple starting grid with walls, portals and birds

Pirots 5 portals, tunnels and traps

  1. Portals sit in the walls around the grid. A bird teleports when collectable symbols are next to two or more portals.
  2. Tunnels form when walls link two portals. Each tunnel section reveals feature symbols.
  3. Catacombs. A bird that collects a symbol on its own colour’s catacomb corner goes in and fights. A win gives a feature symbol.
  4. Labyrinth clears gems from random rows and columns, and the birds slide along them until they separate.

The three traps

The arrow trap removes the bird it hits, and that bird’s gems turn into another bird’s gems. The boulder rolls across and crushes gems, walls and birds in its path. The secret door rotates the whole grid, and cross-over tiles let birds walk over spots they’ve already cleared.

The three Pirots 5 worlds

Board and traps are shared. Each world has its own main feature, catacomb opponent and coin game. Collect tokens in every world, and all nine unlock the Boss Castle finale.

The Kraken

The golden compass cannon replaces every gem in its firing line with feature symbols, then recoils the other way. The Kraken coin game starts with 3 drops. Any coin, bird or symbol that lands resets the counter.

Pirots 5 borrows ideas from every earlier game. Here’s where they started.

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

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

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

Catacombs are my favourite

A bird goes into the catacombs, beats the mummy and comes back with a feature symbol. Happened twice in one round. Nothing like it in the older games.

The Kraken world looks amazing

The compass cannon fires and swaps every gem in that line for features. When it hits the longest row, the grid just goes off.

Check the RTP

Same game, different RTP at two casinos. I always open the info screen now before I play. The game itself is brilliant.

Blackfeather gems

Blackfeather turns birds into ghosts and their gems into his own. At level 7 those pay 30×. The round when that happens is a party.

Traps are nerve-racking

The arrow trap takes a bird off the grid. The boulder crushes everything in its path. Fun, but sometimes a round ends way too soon.

Mega Hunt for 10×

Mega Hunt is a cheap way to get closer to the bonus. In my first ten buys the bonus landed twice. Suits me better than a 100× buy.

Our take on Pirots 5

Pirots 5 is the biggest and most complex game in the series. Three worlds, traps and catacombs pack more action into one round than any other Pirots. The one real catch: RTP varies by casino, so check it.

We rate it 4.7 out of 5. New to the series? Start with Pirots and work your way up to the Kraken.

Your Pirots 5 questions, answered

Three: Cursed Temple with Captain Blackfeather, The Kraken with the golden compass cannon, and City of Gold with the Golden Book and the Mastermind. Each has its own main feature, catacomb opponent and coin game.

ELK Studios offers Pirots 5 with RTP settings from 87.0% to 96.0%, and each casino picks one. Open the game info before you play and check which version your casino runs.

If a bird collects a symbol sitting on a catacomb corner of its own colour, it enters the catacombs. Win the fight and the bird gets a feature symbol. The opponent is a mummy in the temple, a land crab in the Kraken world and a shaman in City of Gold.
