The Pirots 5 Payout Figure
The Pirots 5 payout figure is the share of stakes the game returns over a very long run, stated as 96.0% on the rules screen of the build we launched. The maker publishes no return figure on its own website, and five build configurations circulate between 96% and 87%.
- Game:
- Pirots 5 (an ELK Studios video slot)
- Type:
- Slot game
- RTP as published:
- 96.0% in the build we launched, and that figure comes from the game rather than from the maker's website.
- Max win:
- 10,000x the bet, and the game states it as a cap rather than as a promise.
Where the Pirots 5 Figure Is Printed
On one screen, inside the running game. Open the menu, pick Rules, scroll to the bottom and the line reads: "The theoretical payout (RTP) in Pirots 5 is 96.0%". The game server sends the same value when the session starts, as a plain field in its launch configuration.
That is the whole list: one screen a player can open, and one field only a developer sees. There is no third.
What the Pirots 5 Page Omits
The Pirots 5 page omits the return, the volatility and the hit frequency — all three of the numbers a player picks a slot by. We pulled the studio's page for this game and counted: about 3,160 characters of text, some 520 words, with the letters RTP in it zero times. Volatility, zero. Hit frequency, zero.
The page does carry one number, the 10,000x potential, and a long description of the birds and the worlds. For the figure that decides what the game costs to play, it sends you nowhere.
Five Builds and Why It Matters
Catalogues list five of them: 96%, 94%, 92%, 90% and 87%. A casino installs one. The arithmetic is worth doing once: at 96.0% the house keeps 4 pence of every pound staked, and at 87% it keeps 13. That is more than three times the cost for the same birds and the same grid.
Nothing on the open web reliably maps a casino to the build it runs, and this page will not guess. Read the rules screen where you are playing. The win cap sits on the same screen, one line below.
| Source | Return printed | What the figure belongs to |
|---|---|---|
| The rules screen in the build we launched | 96.0% | The deployment we played, stated in full |
| The game server, asked in the same session | 96.0% | The field rtp="0.960000" in the launch configuration |
| ELK Studios' own page for the game | Nothing at all | The word RTP does not appear on it once |
| clashofslots | 96 / 94 / 92 / 90 / 87% | Five configurations, with no build named for any of them |
| fruityslots | 87% to 96% | A range described as depending on market or operator version |
Read on ; the maker can change a screen without saying so.
Do Pirots 5 Purchases Pay Less
No, and this is the one place the game is unusually clear. The rules state that the theoretical payout for all X-iter game modes is the same 96.0% as an ordinary spin. What changes is how often the tokens arrive, which the rules say differs between modes and the base game.
So the 250x super bonus is not a worse-value product than a 1.00 spin. It is the same value delivered faster, with the swings that implies.
The Number the Game Will Not Show You
The rules template carries a line reading "The probability to hit the maximum total win in the game is ___", and in this build it is switched off: the server sends the field empty and the licence settings suppress the line. On screen you go straight from the cap to the malfunction clause.
That is not the same as a figure nobody worked out, and it is not proof that one exists either. What the launch response shows is a field left empty and a switch set to false. Whether the number is sitting somewhere unprinted or was never produced for this build, the response does not say — and the player is shown nothing where the sentence would stand.
Downsides and Watch-Outs on the 96% Figure
Three of them, and all three belong to the number rather than to the game.
- It describes one build, not the game. The 96.0% we read is the configuration we launched; five circulate, and the one a casino installs decides what a session costs.
- Nothing published can confirm it. There is no RTP line on the studio's page for this game, so the figure cannot be cross-read anywhere outside the client.
- A return says nothing about an evening. Our own 80 spins came back at 96.7%, close to 96.0% by coincidence rather than by confirmation.
We do not recommend taking the 96% from a catalogue listing — including the listings that print five figures at once and name no build for any of them. Read the rules screen in the game you actually opened; that one sentence is worth more than every aggregated table about this title.
