Pirots 4 Slot Review

About the Game

Pirots 4 is a slot with six columns, six rows and drop down symbols. During play, the field can be expanded to a maximum of 8 rows and 8 columns. All regular mode dropdowns start with the first payout level gems and a field of 6 rows and 6 columns.

In Pirots 4 there are four birds that move around the field and collect symbols. Each bird is matched with gems of the same colour. The birds move and collect function symbols and gems of the same colour as them.

Symbol Collection

Birds collect symbols by moving to neighbouring symbols placed next to them horizontally or vertically. Symbols that pay rewards include gems, coins and Wild symbols. Wins are earned when birds move and collect the symbols that pay rewards. Each gem can be upgraded to increase the payout for them. The maximum payout level is seven.

The birds keep collecting symbols until they run out. The bird can make many movements until the symbols are filled. The collected symbols and activated function symbols are removed from the field. Then all remaining symbols and birds move vertically until they stop. New symbols fall from above onto the vacated spaces. The function will continue as long as at least one bird can move.

There is a symbol collection scale above the playing field. It keeps track of the collected symbols. Only gems and Wild symbols collected by any of the four birds are counted. The symbol collection scale continues counting as long as the birds collect symbols. The Space Bandit does not fill the collect scale as it is disabled during the Alien Invasion feature. Birds cannot collect symbols while Alien Invasion is active.

When the symbol collection scale is full, it adds one deferred function symbol activation. You can defer up to three function symbol activations. All pending function symbol activations are applied at the same time. Each inner corner of the space station contains a corner bomb. Each one is assigned a random bird colour at the start of the round, and changes randomly at the start of each Free Drop in the bonus game.

If a bird collects a symbol on a corner bomb of the same colour as it, it is activated. The corner bomb explodes when the birds run out of symbols to collect. It removes all birds from the field and all gems within the bomb’s 3 x 3 area. A corner bomb also removes neighbouring sections of the space station when it explodes. Corner bombs expand the playing field to a maximum of 8 rows and 8 columns. Characters fall vertically until they finally stop. New symbols fall onto the vacated spaces and the birds return.

Activation of feature symbols occurs before the corner bomb explodes as part of the first Free Drop bonus game, or when the symbols that the birds can collect run out. When feature symbols are activated, a random number of gems turn into random feature symbols.

Cosmocorn

There are ten different feature symbols in Pirots 4: Bonus, Super Bonus, Wild, Coins, Enhancement, Transformation, Cosmocorn, Black Hole and Alien Invasion symbols.

A collected enhancement symbol increases the payout level for gems of the same colour as the bird that collected the symbol. The payout level for gems increases by 1, 2 or 3, up to the seventh level. Collecting a general enhancement symbol increases the level of all types of gems at once. The gems payout level increases by 1, 2 or 3 up to the seventh.

An Alien Invasion symbol collected by a bird activates the corresponding feature. The function is delayed and is triggered when the birds run out of symbols to collect. During the Alien Invasion feature, the Cosmobandit collects symbols column by column in random order.

Cosmobandit collects gems, birds and function symbols, except for the Black Hole, Cosmocorn and Transformation symbols, which he simply ignores. The Cosmobandit activates the Corner Bomb when he collects a symbol at its position. The corner bomb explodes before the Alien Invasion feature symbols are filled. When the Cosmobandit collects a bird, it stops collecting and starts the cosmoduel.

His winning cosmoduel increases the Cosmobandit’s ship multiplier, and the defeated bird is removed from the field until the feature ends. The Cosmobandit then selects a random column and continues collecting symbols. If a bird wins the duel, the Alien Invasion feature ends and the ship multiplier is applied to the total value before the payout.

During the Alien Invasion feature, the total value of the symbols collected and the multiplier received by the Cosmobandit is accumulated and displayed on the ship. If the Cosmobandit defeats all four birds, he collects all remaining symbols on the field and the ship multiplier is applied to the total value before the payout. A random number of coins are then dropped onto the playing field, the feature ends and the birds return.

A collected transformation symbol colours the gems closest to the bird that collected it with its colour. It can also transform a random number of gems into function symbols. A Cosmocorn symbol collected by a bird places a cosmocorn on empty spaces. It allows the birds to cross an empty space once to reach additional symbols.

Lost in Space

The Lost in Space coin game is activated when the birds have collected all symbols on the playing field during the Cosmocorn feature. It is activated immediately, and all potentially activated functions remain in standby mode. If the birds have collected all symbols on the playing field not during the Cosmocorn function, the Lost in Space Coin Game does not start.

The Lost in Space coin game takes place on an 8 x 8 playing field, and in each of its corners is a bird. Three rolls are given. Appearance of coin symbols or ice bridges resets the drop count to three.

When the drop-offs end, the birds start collecting. Birds only collect coins that are close to them vertically or horizontally. Birds can use bridges that are next to them vertically or horizontally to reach the coins. If two or more birds are connected by the same coins, the value collected by a bird becomes available to the next bird that collects the same coins.

When the Lost in Space coin game ends, you are paid the total value of the coins collected, the birds return to the main game and the round continues.

Charlie Feature

The extra chance Charlie feature is activated randomly when the birds run out of symbols to collect. It activates one, two, three and four corner bombs. The bombs explode simultaneously and the birds leave the playing field. The remaining symbols then fall vertically until they finally stop. New symbols fall onto the vacated spaces, and the birds return.

Space Station

The space station surrounding the original playing field consists of four sections and acts as a tunnel when at least one of the sections is destroyed by the explosion of a corner bomb. A bird can move through the tunnel if it can access the symbols at its entrance and exit. Each section of the tunnel can have up to two function symbols open, which are collected as the bird passes through.

Space Portals

When the playing field expands to its maximum size and the space station section in the corner disappears, a spaceportal appears there. Birds can teleport between them if the collected symbols are on two or more spaceportals.

A collected Black Hole symbol activates the corresponding function when the birds run out of symbols to collect. The Black Hole feature absorbs all symbols and birds on the playing field and then returns them in a different order. It can remove up to three birds. All gems of the same colour as the removed bird take on the colour of one or more of the returned birds.

• Wild symbol

The Wild symbol substitutes for any gem at its current payout level. The bird cannot complete the collection of symbols on the Wild symbol. If this happens, the bird will be moved to an empty position.

A collected coin symbol pays its value multiplied by the active bet level. The MAX WIN coin instantly gives you the remaining currency needed to maximise your winnings.

Neighbouring birds have a random chance to perform Switcheroo when they can no longer collect symbols. If the move is activated, the birds switch places horizontally or vertically. Two neighbouring birds have a random chance to activate a space Switcheroo as well. In case of activation, one of the birds is moved to the edge of the playing field or to the next symbol to collect on its trajectory. Gemstones not collected by the bird do not fill the collection scale when removed.

• Power Clash

If the birds get together in threes or fours horizontally or vertically and can no longer collect symbols, Powerful Collision is activated. During the Lost In Space coin game, if the birds are three or four together horizontally or vertically, Powerful Collision is not activated.

During Powerful Collision, birds collide at one symbol position, removing all gems in a 5 x 5 area starting from the collision location. The birds fly horizontally, vertically, or diagonally from the collision location. Corner Bomb, Alien Invasion, Black Hole, Coins, Bonus and Super Bonus symbols are automatically collected or activated if they are in the flight path of a bird. Gems are removed from the birds flight path, but they do not count towards the symbol collection scale. This does not apply to other feature symbols.

Free Drops Bonus Game

The Free Drops bonus game is activated when birds collect three bonus symbols in one active round of play. Five Free Drops are given. A bonus symbol collected in bonus mode gives an additional Free Drop for the bonus game. The regular bonus game starts with the current number of rows and columns.

If one of the three bonus symbols is a super bonus, the bonus supergame is activated. The bonus supergame starts with 8 rows and 8 columns, and all gems are affected by all enhancement symbols. The progression of the symbol collection scale and the payout level for gems does not change throughout the bonus game.

If you have pending activations of the Alien Invasion feature, corner bombs or feature symbols at the start of the bonus game, they will activate on the first Free Drop. The Free Drops bonus game ends when the Free Drops run out or when you reach the win limit. Winnings are paid out at the end of the bonus game. You cannot change your bet once the round has started.
