Six slot games, one mechanic nobody else has. ELK Studios launched the original Pirots in March 2023 with a system called CollectR™ — four colored parrots that walk across the grid eating gems. No paylines, no clusters. Birds move and collect. That single idea turned into a franchise spanning three years and six releases.
The series now includes Pirots, Pirots 2, Pirots 3, Pirots 4 (Inferno), Pirots X, and Pirots 5. All share a 94% RTP baseline — though Pirots 5 broke that with a 96% config. Max win across every title sits at 10,000×. Below: demos, RTPs, max wins, mechanics, and where to play each one.

Play Pirots Slots for Real Money →Each title takes the same base engine somewhere completely different. Dinosaurs, cowboys, astronauts, pharaohs — the settings shift, but the core loop stays recognizable. Here's what separates them.
Birds vs. dinosaurs in a prehistoric jungle. The 6×6 grid expands up to 8×8. Popcorn, Eggs, Red Button meteor strike, and a full Bonus Game with persistent gem levels.
Train heists, gunslinger duels, and dynamite. Grid goes from 6×6 to 8×7. The Coin Game triggers when the entire grid clears — that's the max win path right there.
Three worlds in one slot. Lost in Space shipped first, then Frozen Fury, then Inferno. Fire Minions, Black Holes, and Charlie's "don't press" button make this the wildest one.
The odd one out. No CollectR mechanic at all. Instead, 5×5 cluster pays with a global multiplier. Wild Split, Wild Merge, and Multiplier Wilds replace the bird-walking system.
Captain Blackfeather, mummies, and traps — arrows, boulders, secret doors. First Pirots to go above 94% RTP. The Cursed Temple Coin Game is the newest max win route.
Every release compared side by side. Same 10,000× cap, same studio, different worlds. Mechanics stay consistent across five CollectR games — Pirots X is the outlier with cluster pays.

CollectR replaces paylines and cluster pays entirely. Four parrot-shaped collector symbols land on the grid — red, purple, green, blue. Each bird scans for adjacent gems of its own color. When it finds one, it moves there and eats it.
As long as a same-color gem sits next to the bird, it keeps walking. Every collected gem fills a feature meter above the grid. Fill that meter and three feature symbols drop in — Wilds, Coins, Upgrades, Transforms, or Bonus scatters.
Meanwhile, the grid itself expands. Bombs or dynamite detonate the outer edges and push the playfield from 6×6 up to 8×8. More space means longer bird paths. Longer paths mean faster meter fills. That's the core loop.
Three Bonus scatters collected in one round trigger Free Drops. Grid size, gem upgrade levels, and meter progress — everything persists between drops. That persistence is what makes the Bonus Game the real payoff zone.
| Feature | What It Does | Games |
|---|---|---|
| ⬆️ Symbol Upgrade | Boosts gem payout level 1–3 steps (max level 7) | All CollectR Pirots |
| ⏫ Upgrade All | Upgrades all four colors at once | Pirots 2, 3, 4, 5 |
| 🪙 Coin Symbol | Pays its face value × current bet level | All games |
| 💰 Max Win Coin | Instantly pays the remaining amount to reach 10,000× | All games |
| ⭐ Wild Symbol | Substitutes for any gem at its current payout level | All games |
| 🔄 Transform | Converts a gem cluster to the bird's color | Pirots 2, 3, 4, 5 |
| 🎰 Super Bonus | Guaranteed Bonus Game on the maximum grid | All games |
| 🛒 X-iter™ | Buy direct entry to Bonus / Super Bonus modes | All (where allowed) |
96.0% — only on Pirots 5 (June 2026). It's the first game in the franchise to break the 94% baseline. Every other Pirots title runs at a fixed 94.0% across all bet levels and all X-iter modes. Worth noting: Pirots 5 also has lower configs down to 87%, so check the operator's settings.
All six cap at 10,000× the bet. That means €1,000,000 on a €100 max spin. The cap is identical — what differs is how easily each game reaches it. Pirots 4 Inferno and Pirots 5's Cursed Temple coin game are the most direct paths to that ceiling.
Yes. Pirots 5 launched on 28 June 2026 with the Cursed Temple variant. Demo play is live on partner casinos. Additional worlds — The Kraken, City of Gold, Boss Castle — are scheduled through August–September 2026.
Pirots X. It's the only release that uses cluster pays instead. Winning clusters need 5 or more adjacent matching symbols. The birds sit above the grid and trigger random features from perches rather than walking across it.
Yes. ELK's X-iter™ lets you buy direct entry — Bonus Hunt, Popcorn Fiesta, Bonus Game, Super Bonus. Cost ranges from 3× to 500× your bet. Some jurisdictions block bonus buys entirely though. The UK doesn't allow them, for instance.
Every Pirots title runs on ELK Studios' Mobile First framework. Built for portrait mode on iOS and Android. Performance is solid even on mid-range devices — CollectR doesn't need heavy GPU processing.
