How to Play Pirots 5

Pirots 5 replaces fixed paylines with ELK Studios' CollectR™ system. Four birds move across an expanding grid and collect gems linked to their own colours. Each collected paying symbol adds its value to the round win, then new symbols can drop into the cleared spaces and keep the sequence alive.

Three Bonus symbols collected by the birds

What happens in one round

A round continues while the birds can reach matching gems or eligible feature symbols.

Set the stake

Choose the amount used for the next round and start play on the 6×6 board.

Collect and move

Each Pirot takes a reachable gem matching its colour, then occupies the cleared position.

Refill and develop

New symbols fall into open spaces while upgrades and transformations reshape the board.

Credit the result

The accumulated win is credited when every movement and feature effect has finished.

How the birds move

Bird movement is based on adjacency. A matching symbol can be collected when it is directly above, below, left or right of the bird. Diagonal gems are not collected through the standard movement rule.

After collecting a gem, the bird occupies the cleared position. That new position may expose another matching symbol and extend the path. The chain can continue until no valid matching gem or collectable feature symbol remains within reach.

How wins are formedPirots 5 does not use fixed paylines or conventional matching-symbol line wins. A gem pays when the bird linked to that colour collects it.

The expanding grid

Every round begins on a 6x6 board. Grid expansion can open additional positions as play develops, increasing the space available for gems, birds and feature symbols. The maximum grid is 8x8.

Because wins depend on bird movement, a larger grid can create longer collection paths and more room for transformations, upgrades and world-specific effects.

When the Bonus Game starts, the current grid size carries into the feature instead of returning to 6x6.

Collection meter and feature symbols

Paying-symbol collections build the meter above the grid. Once enough progress has accumulated, feature symbols are released into play.

Those symbols can increase gem payout levels, convert existing gems, add Wilds or Coins, contribute Bonus symbols or alter movement. Several effects can interact within the same round, so the state of the board after one feature can determine what the birds collect next.

Paying symbols

Each value is a multiplier of the selected bet.
