The first thing returning players will notice is the expanded grid layout. In Pirots 3, the board feels more open, offering a broader playground for the birds to roam, collect gems, and trigger various features. As always, the symbols don’t simply spin and land; instead, the birds move freely around the board, picking up matching gems that align with their colour.
This movement-driven approach gives the game a lively and animated personality. It almost feels like watching a puzzle game unfold, with chain reactions and unexpected pick-ups that change the outcome in surprising ways. Rather than relying purely on static reels and paylines, wins emerge organically from character interactions and smart symbol placement.
The birds can now fire cannons that clear large sections of the board, allowing more symbols to drop in and new chain reactions to form. This helps create extended sequences that push the action forward.
Symbol upgrades return, but they feel more impactful in this instalment. Birds can enhance existing gems, increasing their value and improving the potential of future collections.
Extra steps and directional shifts can be triggered more frequently than before. This gives the birds more freedom to roam across the board and gather clusters that weren’t immediately accessible.
The game introduces larger interactive zones that birds can unlock, opening more play space and adding new pathways. This sense of progression adds depth to the grid exploration element.
The returning free drops feature acts as the game’s version of free spins, but with the grid-based format, outcomes feel more dynamic than traditional bonus rounds. Birds move more aggressively, and power-ups appear more frequently.
As players unlock certain zones and collect specific symbols, they contribute to a progression trail. Reaching key milestones can trigger enhanced boosts or bonus modifiers.
Pirots 3 showcases ELK Studios at their most creative, building on a beloved formula and expanding it with thoughtful upgrades. The larger grid, expanded power-ups, refined visuals, and more unpredictable sequences give this instalment its own identity while preserving the charm of the series.
