Pirots 3 features a 6-reel, 7-row grid with a unique gameplay mechanism that is neither cluster-based nor reliant on paylines. The game's backdrop suggests a Wild West theme park, with amusement rides and tourist-style stores visible behind the transparent grid. The game’s high volatility and an RTP of 94% are standard for ELK Studios, and players can place bets ranging from 20 cents to $/€100 per spin. Pirots 3 also includes five X-iter bonus buy options for players who prefer to jump straight into the action.

The game includes four regular paying gem symbols in blue, green, purple, and red. These gems can be collected by parrots of the matching color. Starting payout values range from 0.05 to 0.1 times the bet, and can increase up to 7.5 to 30 times the bet with upgrades.

Collecting Birds

Four parrot symbols move around the grid, collecting gems of the same color. They can move horizontally or vertically to adjacent symbols and continue collecting until no more matches are available. A bandit character can also be released to collect gems of any color and all feature symbols.

Collection Meter

Above the grid is a collection meter that tracks collected symbols. When filled, it triggers a feature symbol release, converting random gems into feature symbols. Up to three feature symbol releases can be stacked and awarded simultaneously.

Feature Symbols

• Upgrade Symbol: Increases the payout level of matching gems by 1-3 steps, up to a maximum of level 7.

• Key Symbol: Triggers the bandit's escape feature, allowing the bandit to collect symbols and potentially trigger a coin game if all birds are defeated.

• Transform Symbol: Converts adjacent gems to the bird’s color and may transform random gems into feature symbols.

• Peanut Symbol: Allows birds to cross empty grid spaces once to reach more symbols.

• Dynamite Symbol: Removes birds and all symbols (except feature symbols) from the grid, causing a redrop and expanding the grid to 8 rows and 7 columns.

• Wild Symbol: Acts as a substitute for any gem at the current level.

• Coin Symbol: Awards its value times the bet, with a Max Win coin paying the remaining amount needed to reach the maximum win.

Coin Game

Triggered when the entire grid is cleared, coin bags and scorpions drop onto the grid, and a train arrives. Birds or the bandit throw lassos to collect coin bags. The game ends when no birds remain.

Showdown Feature

Adjacent birds can swap places or trigger a showdown, where they shoot in random directions, affecting symbols in various ways. The feature concludes with a redrop and symbol refill.

Train Heist

Triggered when a bird collects a symbol on a marked train backdrop and can collect symbols on the opposite side. The train awards 1 to 3 random feature symbols before the bird continues collecting.

Awarded with 5 free drops when three bonus scatters are collected. The game can also trigger a super bonus starting on an 8x7 matrix. Collecting bonus scatters in this mode awards additional free spins.

• Bonus Hunt: 3x the bet for one drop with quadruple the chance of triggering the bonus.

• Bandit Jailbreak: 25x the bet for one drop where the bandit's escape is triggered.

• Coin Game: 50x the bet.

• Bonus Game: 100x the bet.

• Super Bonus Game: 500x the bet.
