Setting the Scene: Parrots in Space
ELK Studios really went all-out this time, launching our feathery friends far beyond the Wild West into the vast expanse of outer space. In Pirots 4, four colorful parrots don their space suits to chase gems and wilds across a 6×6 grid that sits inside a modular space station. It’s a quirky mash-up that feels a bit like Pac-Man meets intergalactic treasure hunt—now with cc6 level excitement.
Stakes and Volatility: From 20¢ to High Roller
Before you blast off, you choose your wager: anywhere from 20¢ up to $/€100 per spin. Despite the high-octane action, the RTP remains a steady 94% whether you’re a casual flier or go all-in with feature buys. That wide bet range and highly volatile math model mean you can tailor risk and reward to your taste (or your budget).
Dynamic Grid Mechanics & cc6 Power-Ups
Every spin drops symbols into that 6×6 matrix, and parrots swoop in to gobble up gems matching their plumage. Collected gems vanish, gravity pulls everything down, and the cycle repeats until no more moves remain. Feature symbols—like scatters, super scatters, or transformers—also appear, and yes, you might even spot a cc6-style Upgrade All or Spacecorn popping up to shake things up.
Collection Meter & Feature Symbol Releases
All collected gems and wilds (excluding those nabbed during Alien Invasion) fill your Collection Meter. Once full, you earn a pending feature symbol release—up to three can queue up, and then they all drop at once. It’s a chest full of surprises that can trigger upgrades, wilds, coins, or even massive grid expansions thanks to corner bombs.
Corner Bombs & Grid Expansion
Each corner of the station hides a bomb assigned a random bird color. If your parrot picks up a matching bomb and later can’t move, BOOM—the bomb detonates, removes its corner of the station, and expands the play area up to 8×8. Suddenly you’ve got tunnels to new zones and portal corners where you can teleport, all ripe for that extra cc6 thrill.
Switcheroo, Power Clash & Black Holes
When adjacent parrots run out of targets, they trigger a Switcheroo, shuffling one to a fresh spot. If three birds get stuck together, you get a Power Clash—a 5×5 explosion of gems and symbols. And if you catch a Black Hole symbol? Brace yourself: it sucks in symbols (and up to three birds), then spits them back out in a random order for chaotic clearing.
Lost in Space Coin Game
Clear the entire grid during a Spacecorn run, and you launch the Lost in Space mini-game on an 8×8 board. Three spins to land coins or bridge symbols (which reset your spin count). When spins run dry, parrots collect every reachable coin for a final tally. Inject a bit of cc6-style strategy by planning bridge paths to maximize coin grabs.
High-Stakes Alien Invasion Showdown
Grab the Alien Invasion feature symbol and hold on—now the Space Bandit arrives. It duels your parrots column by column, collecting symbols as it goes. If the bandit wins, your bird gets zapped and the ship’s multiplier climbs; win back a duel, and the invasion ends. Lose ’em all, and it scoops every remaining gem before blasting off with your loot.
Charlie’s Extra Chance & Bonus Rounds
When movement stalls, Charlie’s Extra Chance may fire up corner bombs and drop fresh symbols to keep things going. Collect three base-game scatters, and you earn five free spins (plus one more per additional scatter). A super scatter triggers Super Free Spins on a full 8×8 grid, where all “Upgrade All” symbols level up every gem—a real cc6 power-up moment.
X-iter Feature Buys
Want to skip straight to the action? The X-iter menu lets you buy Bonus Hunt (3× bet), Alien Invasion (25×), Lost in Space (50×), base free spins (100×), or super free spins (500×). It’s a shortcut for players who love big features and don’t mind the cost for an instant thrill.
Verdict: A Stellar Sequel
With more features than a Swiss Army knife, Pirots 4 proves ELK Studios still knows how to evolve a series. Parrots dart through zero-G, corner bombs rip open new realms, and mini-games like Lost in Space and Alien Invasion inject serious variety. Toss in the occasional cc6-style boost, and you’ve got one of the most feature-rich slots on the market—definitely worth a spin for anyone craving an interstellar hoard of gems.
