Pirots 2 slot review
Pirots 2 is ELK Studios’ 2024 sequel to its cult bird-heist hit — four larcenous parrots loose on an expanding grid, eating gems of their own colour, triggering features as they feast, and growing the board with every successful job. Few slots play less like slots, which is precisely its charm. ELK’s reputation rests on building toys rather than templates, and the Pirots series is its masterpiece — the sequel arrived barely a year after the original on the back of demand the studio itself seemed unprepared for.
How Pirots 2 plays
The four birds perch on the grid among coloured gems, and each spin they march around collecting every gem that matches their plumage — wins come from what they gather rather than lines or clusters. Special symbols collected along the way fire features: transformations, bombs, upgrades and transports that reshuffle the heist mid-job, while collected keys grow the grid itself towards its expanded maximum.
Features and the bonus
The sequel deepens the original’s toy box — more feature symbols, livelier interactions between the birds, and a bonus round where the collecting escalates across free drops with the grid expansion and upgrades persisting throughout. It is a game of accumulating small mechanical pleasures punctuated by the occasional perfectly chained raid, and the sequel’s polish makes the original feel like a demo.
RTP, volatility and top wins
The published RTP is around 94% — ELK’s standard setting, noticeably under the industry norm and worth knowing before you commit — with operator versions varying, so check the in-game information panel. Volatility is high, with the value gathered through feature chains rather than single hits, and advertised potential reaching ten thousand times stake.
