Pirots 4 by ELK Studios is the latest stop in the parrot saga, and this time the colourful crew has launched into outer space. The game takes its quirky bird-collecting format and packs it with new cosmic twists, from alien invasions to wormholes, corner bombs, and a whole arsenal of special features. If Pirots 3 felt wild, Pirots 4 goes all the way interstellar.
ELK Studios has leaned into the cartoon madness here, with the parrots dressed in space suits and darting around a floating station. The backdrop is either deep space or a frozen wasteland, depending on which location the player chooses, Lost in Space, or Frozen Fury. Gameplay does not change with the setting. There’s a strong arcade feel to the way the action unfolds, echoing classic video games but wrapped in the polish of modern online slots. From bombs cracking open the space station to black holes rearranging the board, the whole thing feels like a fast-paced space adventure with plenty of surprises.
Pirots 4 doesn’t use traditional paylines. Instead, the parrots scoot across the grid collecting gems, and each one they grab pays instantly. The four gems each have seven payout levels, which upgrade as the game progresses:
Gem Symbol | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 | Level 6 | Level 7 |
Blue Gem | 0.05x | 0.10x | 0.15x | 0.30x | 0.80x | 2.50x | 7.5x |
Green Gem | 0.05x | 0.15x | 0.25x | 0.45x | 1.2x | 3.75x | 10x |
Purple Gem | 0.1x | 0.2x | 0.3x | 0.6x | 1.6x | 5x | 15x |
Red Gem | 0.1x | 0.25x | 0.4x | 0.75x | 2x | 6.25x | 30x |
Wilds substitute for gems at their current level, while Coins, Spacecorn, and Black Holes bring bonus effects that tie into the bigger feature set, explained in the next section.
Every time gems or wilds are collected, the meter charges up. Filling it adds a feature symbol release, and up to three can be stored for later.
When birds can’t collect anymore, Switcheroo or Power Clash kicks in. The first shuffles birds around, while the second clears a big 5x5 area with a burst of energy, often setting off bombs or triggering new features.
Each corner of the grid hides a bomb tied to a parrot’s colour. Trigger the right match, and the bomb detonates, blowing away gems, clearing space, and even expanding the grid up to 8x8.
Feature drops can deliver Wilds, Scatters, Super Scatters, Coins, gem upgrades, Spacecorn for bridging gaps, Black Holes that shuffle the board, and even Alien Invasion triggers. These keep the game constantly shifting.
Clear the board during the Spacecorn feature, and you’re whisked into a coin collection game on an 8x8 grid. Birds pick up coins and bridges across three spins, with resets every time something new lands.
The Space Bandit storms in, duelling with parrots while collecting columns of symbols. If the Bandit wins, multipliers rise and birds disappear. If the parrots fight back, the invasion ends.
When things seem to be wrapping up, Charlie can swoop in and set off corner bombs, keeping the spin alive.
Three Scatters trigger Free Spins, starting with five rounds and the grid at its current size. Scatters collected in the bonus add extra spins, while progress and upgrades carry over. Land a Super Scatter, and the game shifts to the full 8x8 grid with every upgrade symbol powering up all gems.
Pirots 4 skips paylines entirely and runs on a 6x6 grid that can expand up to 8x8. The birds roam across the board, scooping up gems in their own colours along with special symbols. Wins happen when a bird lands next to a matching gem — it collects that symbol plus any connected gems in the same colour, linked vertically or horizontally. Each collection can trigger further moves, creating chain reactions that continue until no more matches remain.
If feature-packed gameplay is the draw, these titles land in the same zone:
Pirots 4 is ELK Studios at its most over-the-top, stacking feature upon feature until the game feels like controlled chaos. The visuals are bright, the parrots are full of personality, and the mix of bombs, black holes, and alien invasions keeps the action unpredictable. It won’t be for players who prefer simple slots, but those who enjoy fast-moving, feature-rich titles will find plenty to like here.
At BetVictor, this one stands out as a bold choice for anyone who enjoys online slots with a quirky theme and layered mechanics. It’s a natural pick for fans of the Pirots series, but also for players looking for something playful and different from the usual reel-spinning format.
