FluxPlays verdict
Our verdict
No, unless you enjoy rounds that play like a puzzle enough to accept a low return. Eight feature symbols, from eggs to meteors, keep moving the four birds, and in the Bonus every amber upgrade and every row of grid growth stays for all five drops. The drawback is one low RTP for every mode, and in our base spins the extras mostly reshuffled the birds without paying much.
Who it suits
Play this if…
- Puzzle-minded players: each drop is a board to read, with four birds collecting in a fixed order
- Pirots fans: ambers now climb seven levels, and eggs, popcorn and fights add new ways to move the birds
- Learners: the one-drop X-iter options show the grid growth and popcorn for a small price
Skip this if…
- Players who look at the RTP first: every mode shares one low figure
- Short-session players: base drops are slow and mostly pay small change
- You want quick rounds: every drop plays out bird by bird, and a Bonus takes minutes

Pirots 2: Full Review
Pirots 2 keeps the CollectR idea of the first game, birds that collect every touching symbol of their own colour, and adds more ways to move them: eggs that scare them to new spots, popcorn that lets them cross gaps and fights between neighbours. ELK Studios released it in November 2023 on a 6x6 starting grid with ambers that upgrade seven times. It suits players who like reading a board more than watching reels spin.

How Pirots 2 works
Four birds, red, purple, green and blue, sit on the grid among ambers of the same colours. After each drop, every bird moves and collects each amber of its colour that touches it horizontally or vertically, plus coins and wilds, and keeps going until nothing is left in reach. The birds take turns from the highest-paying colour down, and each amber collected pays by its colour and its current level:
| Amber at $1 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 | Level 6 | Level 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red | $0.10 | $0.25 | $0.60 | $1.00 | $3.00 | $10.00 | $50.00 |
| Purple | $0.10 | $0.20 | $0.40 | $0.60 | $1.60 | $5.00 | $20.00 |
| Green | $0.05 | $0.15 | $0.30 | $0.45 | $1.20 | $3.75 | $15.00 |
| Blue | $0.05 | $0.10 | $0.20 | $0.30 | $0.80 | $2.50 | $10.00 |
Levels decide everything. A red amber is small change at level 1 and five hundred times that at level 7, so one upgrade early in a round changes every collection after it.
Every amber and wild a bird collects also fills the CollectR meter. A full meter adds a release, up to three stacked, and each release turns three ambers into random feature symbols.
The 6x6 grid before our first drop: four birds, their ambers and several feature symbols already in place. FluxPlays demo test, 31 October 2026.
Feature symbols and bird moves
Eight feature symbols can land on the grid or come out of the meter, and two bird moves work on top of them:
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Upgrade | Raises the collecting bird's colour by 1 to 3 levels; the upgrade-all version raises every colour |
| Wild | Collected by any bird along with its own ambers |
| Coin | Pays its value times the bet; the MAX WIN coin pays whatever is left up to the cap |
| Transform | Transforms symbols on the grid |
| Egg | Hatches a dinosaur at the end of the round, which scares the birds into new places |
| Popcorn | Fills empty spaces so each bird can cross a gap once |
| Red button | A meteor clears nearby symbols and grows the grid by one row and one column, up to 8x8 |
| Bonus | Three collected in one round start the Bonus |
| Switcheroo | Two stuck birds side by side swap places, but only when that opens new collections |
| Bird fight | Three or more birds side by side fight over an area, collecting bonus symbols, coins, eggs and red buttons in its path and removing ambers |
Upgrades and red buttons carry the game: one raises what every amber is worth, the other gives the birds more grid to reach. The rest mostly move birds around, which helps only when it puts one next to a fresh patch of its colour.
Bonus: how it triggers and what stays
Three bonus symbols collected in one round give five free drops on the grid as it stands. Grid size, meter progress, amber levels and any further bonus symbols all carry from drop to drop, and three more bonus symbols add five drops. The wins are paid at the end.
In practice a Bonus is a race to upgrade early, because every level gained in the first drop pays on all the drops after it. Our natural Bonus on spin 84 shows the build. Two meteor strikes grew the grid during its five drops, and the biggest single step added $25.65. It ended at $53.25.
Drop 3 of 5 in our natural Bonus from spin 84: nests from a hatched egg and a 25x coin on the grid. FluxPlays demo test, 31 October 2026.

X-iter: prices and what you get
X-iter is ELK's buy menu, open only in the base game. Two options buy a whole Bonus, two buy one special drop, and Bonus Hunt charges a small premium per drop for a better chance of the Bonus.

Every option runs at the same RTP as the base game, so by the rules no buy is better value than another. They differ in how the money arrives. We would pick the Bonus Game: it is the cheapest way into the round where levels and grid size persist. The Super Bonus starts on 8x8 and makes every upgrade lift all four colours, at five times the price.

RTP, volatility and max win
ELK gives one RTP, 94.0%, for the game and every X-iter mode, and the demo shows no other version. That is low next to most slots we test. ELK's data sheet rates the volatility 8 of 10, a step above the first Pirots, which the field above shows as high. Payouts stop at 10,000x the bet, and a MAX WIN coin pays whatever is left to reach it.

natural trigger in the session
Played on ELK Studios' official demo (pirots2 build 307492) in US dollars on 31 October 2026, in one session from a $5,000.00 balance: 100 base drops at $1.00, then the X-iter options, ending at $4,671.70 over 114 paid rounds, matching the game server's balance. The window rendered slowly, so the game's animation timer was driven by a script; game logic and server calls were untouched. A sample this size cannot measure the RTP or the volatility.
One natural Bonus made the base game: spin 84's five free drops paid more than the other 99 spins together. The extras fired often and paid little. Switcheroos came on seven spins, bird fights on four and egg hatches on three, but the meter released feature symbols only twice, and no other base round reached $5.
Our Super Bonus at drop 1 of 5: crowned ambers across the whole 8x8 grid from the start. FluxPlays demo test, 31 October 2026.
The buys split the same way. The Bonus Game made most of its money in its opening drop, around a cluster of upgraded purple ambers. The Super Bonus began with crowned ambers across an 8x8 grid, yet no single step added much, and it returned under a quarter of its price. Popcorn Fiesta's drop paid nothing at all.
Five X-iter rounds cannot measure a buy's value, and the shared RTP already says they are equal over time. A MAX WIN coin and a Bonus retrigger did not appear, so both come straight from the rules text.
After our bought Bonus Game: 198.15 back on a $100 buy, most of it from the first drop. FluxPlays demo test, 31 October 2026.
Is Pirots 2 worth playing?
Only if the puzzle is the point for you. Watching four birds chase their colour around a growing grid is the whole appeal, and Pirots 2 gives them more ways to move than the original did. The cost is the return: one low RTP for every way to play, and a base game where most of the movement pays little.
What changed from Pirots
| Feature | Pirots | Pirots 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Starting grid | 5x5, growing to 8x8 | 6x6, growing to 8x8 |
| Symbol levels | 5 | 7 |
| Grid growth | Bombs | Red button meteors |
| Bird moves | Bird switches | Switcheroo, bird fights, eggs, popcorn |
| Cheap one-drop buy | Feature Bonanza: a full meter | Popcorn Fiesta: popcorn from the start |
| Volatility (ELK) | 7 of 10 | 8 of 10 |
Pick the first Pirots for the simpler board. Pick Pirots 5 if you want CollectR at a higher RTP. Pick Pirots 2 for eggs, popcorn and bird fights on top of the original rules.
In the demo, buy one Maximum Grid Size drop first. It shows how far the birds travel on 8x8 for a quarter of the Bonus price.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you trigger the Bonus in Pirots 2?+
Collect three bonus symbols in one round. That gives five free drops on the grid as it stands, with grid size, meter progress and amber levels kept for every drop, and three more bonus symbols add five drops. It arrived once in our 100 base drops, on spin 84.
What is the difference between Pirots 2 and Pirots?+
Pirots 2 starts on a 6x6 grid instead of 5x5, lets ambers climb seven levels instead of five, and adds eggs, popcorn, red button meteors, switcheroos and bird fights. ELK rates it 8 of 10 for volatility against 7 for the original, and both share the same cap.
Can you buy the bonus in Pirots 2?+
Yes, through X-iter in the base game. The Super Bonus costs 500x the bet and the Bonus Game 100x, while Maximum Grid Size (25x) and Popcorn Fiesta (10x) buy one special drop. Bonus Hunt costs 3x a drop for four times the Bonus chance. All share one RTP with the base game.
What is the max win in Pirots 2, and how is it reached?+
10,000x the bet. The realistic route is a Bonus where upgrades push a colour to level 7 on a grown grid, so each bird collection pays at the top of the table. A MAX WIN coin also pays whatever is still needed to reach the cap.
