Pirots 2

How Pirots 2 plays

Four birds, one grid, one goal: collect gems of your own colour until nothing is left. Each bird moves to the nearest gem of its colour, removes it, and the grid refills. Collected gems feed a meter that unlocks feature symbols: grid expansion, gem upgrades that lift the lowest colour to the highest value, and multipliers. A spin only ends when no bird has anything left to collect, so a good run can last several minutes and expand the grid well beyond its 6×6 start.

Pirots 2 keeps the original’s mechanic and tightens the pacing. The bonus is where the max win lives: with the grid fully expanded and gems upgraded, a single collecting chain can clear the whole board at the top value.

Volatility in practice

High. The base game pays modestly and most of a session is spent waiting for the feature symbols to land. When they do, wins scale fast. Expect long stretches under stake, then one chain that decides the session. If you want a Pirots experience with smaller swings, Pirots 4 at the same RTP has a slightly more forgiving base game; if you want the biggest ceiling, Pirots 3 and 4 both carry a 10,000x cap too, so the difference is in feature frequency rather than potential.

Bonus buy

The X-iter menu offers paid entries to the bonus features at different tiers. Buying does not change the published RTP of the game in the default setting. In reduced-RTP settings the bought feature inherits the reduction, which is one more reason to check which setting a casino runs before paying 100x or more for a bonus.

RTP settings

ELK’s default for Pirots 2 is 94.0%, which is below the 96% that NetEnt and Play’n GO classics ship with. That is a design choice across the series, not a casino decision. What is a casino decision is whether to run the default or a lower variant, and the difference shows up in the game’s own info panel. The casino pages on this site list which setting each operator runs.
