Pirots 3

Pirots 3 review

Pirots 3 moves ELK Studios' parrot gang, the Fearful Four, from Dino World to the gunslinging Wild West. Instead of paylines it uses ELK's CollectR mechanic on a 6×7 grid that can expand, and along the way the birds duel, rob a train and chase a bandit. ELK lists a 94.0% RTP, volatility of 8 out of 10, a 25.2% hit frequency and a max win of 10,000x the bet. According to SlotCatalog, the game launched as an exclusive on 5 June 2024 and went on general release on 25 June 2024. The free demo on this page lets you watch how the birds clear the grid before you decide whether to play for real money. Demo results are for practice only and do not predict real-money outcomes.

• Bonus Buy: X-iter with 5 modes from 3x to 500x the bet
• Theme: Wild West with pirate parrots, trains and bandits
• CollectR: the birds move across the grid and collect gems of their own colour. Each collected gem pays its value and also fills the feature meter, which hands out feature symbols when it is full. This is how ELK describes CollectR across the Pirots series.
• Gunslingers: two adjacent birds have a random chance to duel. They move apart and shoot in any direction, collecting everything they hit. Three or more adjacent birds always start a duel.
• Train Heist: when the same bird can collect a symbol on both train backdrop positions, the heist awards up to 3 feature symbols.
• Bandit: a collected key frees the bandit. He lands on the grid, collects symbols and duels the birds until he is defeated.
• Coin Game: clearing the whole grid during the peanut feature or the bandit escape starts the Coin Game, where the outcome is either coin wins or the scorpion that ELK calls “scorpio death”.
• Bonus Game: 3 bonus symbols collected in one round trigger the bonus. Grid size, feature meter progress, gem payout levels and extra bonus symbols carry over for the whole bonus.
• X-iter: five game modes are on offer: Bonus Hunt (3x, more than four times the chance to trigger the bonus), Bandit Jailbreak (25x), Coin Game (50x), Bonus Game (100x) and Super Bonus (500x, played on the maximum grid with upgrade symbols that always upgrade all gems). Prices come from ELK's product sheet and mode names from SlotCatalog.

Pirots 3 suits players who like grid-collecting games where one feature sets up the next. ELK's own sheets show it is the more volatile game in its pairing with the sequel, rated 8 of 10 against 7 of 10 for Pirots 4, and it plays on a taller 6×7 grid, while the 94.0% RTP and the 10,000x cap are the same in both. That RTP sits below the 96% many slots offer, so try the free demo first and set a budget before playing for real money.
