What is Pirots 2?

Pirots 2 takes the series' well-known bird gang away from the pirate setting and places them in the middle of a dangerous prehistoric landscape where dinosaurs, meteorites, and eggs become an active part of the maths. The game still uses four birds collecting symbols of their own colours, but the sequel makes almost every round more dramatic thanks to more feature symbols, more ways to manipulate the game board, and more chain reactions in the same sequence.

The result is a slot that feels significantly more aggressive than a typical grid slot game. When the right symbols appear, the same round can go from calm symbol collection to upgrades, transformations, coins, Red Button, dinosaur chaos, and bonus without the pace dropping.

Controls, Menus and Gameplay Experience

Pirots 2 uses a clear interface where the rules screens show Paytable, Settings, Rules, Promotions, and Replay. The currency is displayed in the top bar, and the bet is adjusted before the round starts. The Spin button is used for single rounds and autoplay for longer sessions, making the game easy to manage even when many features are pending simultaneously.

The game's layout is also designed to work on both desktop and mobile. This is important in Pirots 2, as meters, symbol levels, and expanding game boards could otherwise easily become cluttered. Here, information is kept organised and readable even when the grid grows and several events are triggered simultaneously.

How the Base Game Works Step-by-Step

Each round starts on a 6x6 grid where all amber symbols begin at level 1. The birds collect orthogonally adjacent symbols of their own colours and can also pick up any Feature Symbols in their path. When a bird still has something to collect, it continues to move before new symbols drop down. This means a single drop can contain several movement steps before the next refill even occurs.

The order between the birds is determined by the current symbol level. The colour with the highest payout value therefore gets priority, meaning that upgrades not only increase the payout but can also affect the rhythm of the round. When no more symbols can be collected, empty squares are filled with new symbols, and that's when several of the game's most important events are triggered.

Pirots 2 paytable level 2 with symbols and values

Symbol Collection Meter and Feature Symbol Release

Above the game board is the Symbol Collection Meter. It charges as the birds collect amber and wilds. When the meter fills, a pending Feature Symbol Release is added, and up to three such releases can be saved simultaneously. When they are released, random amber symbols are transformed into feature symbols, which can quickly increase the pace of the same round.

In practice, this is one of the main reasons why Pirots 2 can feel so explosive. The CollectR meter is calibrated to create a sense of constant progression. Each collected symbol contributes to filling the meter, and the probability of a feature symbol being released increases exponentially the closer the meter is to being full. This creates a psychological loop where the player constantly feels that a big event is imminent. An already strong sequence can become even bigger when a pending release transforms ordinary symbols into new opportunities for bonus, upgrade, coin, or Red Button.

Dinosaur Eggs, Red Button, and the Expanding Game Board

Pirots 2 uses several thematic features that give the game a distinct identity. Eggs can hatch and create dinosaurs that scare away the birds, thereby changing the entire This is a crucial difference from simpler slots. In Pirots 2, the game board is not just a background, but an active part of the maths. When the meteor strikes, the possibilities for the next drop change, and therefore the same round can suddenly open up entirely new collection paths.

Pirots 2 paytable level 5 with symbols and values

Bonus Game and Super Bonus

When the player collects 3 Bonus symbols, the bonus mode is triggered with 5 Free Drops. Each new Bonus symbol collected during the bonus round grants an additional Free Drop. Pirots 2 also uses persistence in several key elements, meaning that the game board size, meter progress, and upgraded symbol levels carry over into the bonus.

Super Bonus is the more aggressive version of the bonus mode. To handle the high volatility, it's wise to adjust your bet level. A good rule of thumb is to have a bankroll that can withstand at least 200-300 spins without a significant win. This increases the chance of activating the bonus round, where the greatest win potential lies. Chasing quick wins with high stakes is rarely a successful strategy in a slot with this mathematical profile. Here, the conditions are even better for larger symbol values and longer sequences, especially when the game has already expanded the grid and built up several pending events before the bonus begins.

Full Paytable

All four colours can be upgraded to level 7. This is where the game's true payout potential becomes clear, as the entire order between the birds and the future win potential can change as the colours climb in value.

These figures confirm that Pirots 2 is a slot for those who appreciate high risk and high reward. A hit frequency of 25.4% means that approximately one in four spins results in a win, but the high volatility means that most wins are small. The big wins are concentrated in the bonus round and the more chaotic sequences in the base game.

Slot Expert & former Product Manager at ELK Studios

"Pirots 2 was the game where we proved that the series' core formula works outside of the pirate theme. The dinosaurs, meteors, and eggs gave us the opportunity to test completely new feature symbols without losing the aggressive maths that defines Pirots. Already on the release day, we started planning the next instalment – we knew exactly which elements worked and which we wanted to develop further."
