Pirots 4

Pirots 4 review

Pirots 4 takes ELK Studios' four pirate birds into space: a monster bursts out of a black hole, steals their Wild West treasure, and the gang follows it through the vortex. The game runs on a 6×6 grid with ELK's CollectR mechanic, so there are no paylines, and bombs open up a space station around the grid. ELK lists a 94.0% RTP, volatility of 7 out of 10, a 25.0% hit frequency and a max win of 10,000x the bet. It was released on 24 July 2025 with an in-game countdown that ELK calls an industry first in time-based evolution for slots.

• CollectR: the birds collect gems of their own colour, and each collected gem pays its value. In the Pirots series, collected gems also fill a feature meter that hands out feature symbols.
• Space Station: bombs expand the grid and let the birds move inside the space station, collecting up to 2 feature symbols per section.
• Alien Invasion: the Space Bandit collects symbols and starts space duels with the birds. Every duel he wins raises his multiplier.
• Black Hole: the black hole absorbs all symbols and birds and returns them to random positions. It can remove up to 3 birds.
• Lost in Space: clearing the entire grid during the Spacecorn feature triggers the Lost in Space coin game.
• Bonus and Super Bonus: 3 bonus symbols collected by the birds trigger the free drops bonus game. If one of them is a super bonus symbol, the super bonus starts instead. Grid size, collection meter progress and gem upgrades all carry over during the bonus.
• X-iter: five modes let you jump into the action: Bonus Hunt (3x, more than four times the chance to trigger the bonus), Alien Invasion (25x), Lost in Space (50x), Bonus Game (100x) and Super Bonus (500x), as shown on ELK's product sheet.
• Countdown: when the game was released, an in-game countdown started ticking one second at a time; ELK presents this as the first time-based evolution in a slot.

Pirots 4 suits players who enjoy collect-style grids with lots of moving parts, and it is a little calmer on paper than its predecessor: ELK rates it 7 of 10 for volatility against 8 of 10 for Pirots 3, with a 25.0% hit frequency against 25.2%. The 94.0% RTP is lower than many slots, so check the info screen at your casino, try the free demo first and set a budget before playing for real money.
