Pirots

Pirots is a pirate slot from ELK Studios and the game that introduced the studio's CollectR™ mechanic. There are no paylines: four colorful pirate birds move across an expanding grid, collecting matching gems to build wins and trigger features.

Pirots Slot Game Overview

Play the Pirots Demo for Free

The Pirots slot demo lets you try the CollectR system with virtual credits, without risking a real-money balance, where free play is supported.

Pirots free play is a useful starting point if you're used to conventional slots, because Pirots doesn't pay for matching symbols across fixed paylines. Wins come from the birds collecting adjacent gems of their own color.

Use the demo to get familiar with the collection meter, the expanding grid and the bonus triggers before deciding whether to play Pirots for real money.

How to Play the ELK Pirots Slot

Each round begins on a 5×5 grid of gems and four differently colored pirate birds. Every bird collects the gems that match its color, and each collected gem pays its displayed value. As the birds keep collecting, features activate and the grid can expand.

CollectR™ Mechanic

CollectR is the defining feature of the Pirots slot game. Instead of needing several symbols on a payline, every matching gem a bird collects contributes to the payout, at that gem's current payout level.

The result is a game where the birds' movements decide how collections, and wins, develop.

Collection Meter and Feature Symbols

Every collected gem also fills the collection meter. Filling it awards three feature symbols, which can add wilds, coin wins, grid expansion, gem upgrades, symbol transformations or bonus symbols.

As the grid grows, the birds gain access to more gems.

Pirots Bonus Game

Collecting three bonus symbols in a round triggers the bonus game. Grid size, gem payout levels and collection meter progress all carry over, so the upgrades you've built up keep working for you.

Pirots also includes X-iter™ options, which offer different ways to buy straight into enhanced features, where available.

Pirots RTP and Maximum Win

Pirots has a theoretical RTP of 94.00% and a maximum win of 10,000x the bet.

RTP describes the game's average return over a very large number of rounds. It doesn't predict what any single session will return.

Play Pirots for Real Money With Bitcoin and Crypto

The Pirots casino game is available at Shuffle, where eligible players can fund their casino balance with supported cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH and USDT, and play through Shuffle's Bitcoin casino.

Moving from free play to real-money Pirots gambling changes nothing about the mechanics: the same CollectR rules, RTP and 10,000x maximum win apply.

Shuffle also offers an extensive range of online slots, from traditional reels and cluster wins to alternative mechanics like CollectR.
