There aren't many slot series that have stirred the online gambling industry like Pirots by ELK Studios. The mix of ingenious mechanics down to the innovative CollectR™ base win system, empowered by quirky, lovable characters, proved simply irresistible to players worldwide. In the first three installments of the saga, the fearless birds have experienced bizarre adventures that took them from the open seas in Pirots to a riveting prehistoric amusement park in Pirots 2, and finishing in the Wild West in Pirots 3. Each following part showered players with even more thrilling features and an engaging progression of the storyline, which only makes you wonder what immense amounts of creativity lie in the designers' minds for them to decide on building yet another sequel. And who'd be better to answer that question than ELK Studios Chief Product Officer, Fredrik Lindberg, together with ex-AboutSlots and CasinoDaddy streamer and reviewer, Sebastian "Sebbe" Lindström, now Product Owner at ELK? On the 24th of July, the day of Pirots 4 global release, they will join us on an exclusive live stream where mysteries of outer space and secrets of the feathered heroes' next quest will unravel before your very eyes.
We're kicking off with a (big) bang at 17:00 CET, and believe us when we say that it's not an event to be missed! Interactive competitions, a demo tournament, picking the creators' brains, and of course loads of interstellar action performed by the heroic Pirots are just some of the entertainment we've planned! To spice things up before the whole shebang goes down, we've reached out to our guests to check on their level of excitement in anticipation of the live stream.
AboutSlots: Hello gentlemen and thank you for accepting the invitation to the exclusive live stream with CasinoDaddy. How are the spirits at ELK Studios before the big release of Pirots 4 which we'll share with our viewers during the event?
Fredrik: We are super excited for the global release of Pirots 4 and can’t wait to share this moment with you live on the stream!
AboutSlots: Streaming has been a significant part of the iGaming industry for many years now, spreading awareness around slots and helping suppliers promote their games. How crucial has it been for ELK Studios and how did you involve yourself in it until now?
Fredrik: Streaming has become a powerful way to connect with the player base. It helps us providers to showcase our games in a fun and interactive way. Personally, I have had the chance to join the CasinoDaddy stream twice before, for Pirots 2 and 3, and it has been very rewarding and a lot of fun.
AboutSlots: Will you be able to share some hot details about the Pirots series with our viewers during the exclusive live stream? Something that's not common knowledge, perhaps? Maybe even the mystery behind the countdown in Pirots 4?
Fredrik: There will for sure be things revealed on stream that we haven’t discussed before, including some talk about the mysterious countdown. Be sure not to miss it!
AboutSlots: Sebbe, you've now been on both sides of the iGaming coin. How does it feel to be able to return before the streaming camera?
Sebbe: It’s going to be so much fun! Talking to the viewers daily and building bonds for almost 3 years was very special, so I can’t wait to say hello to everyone again. Perhaps there will be some stage fright back, though!
AboutSlots: Fredrik, being a Chief Product Officer in a massive company like ELK Studios undoubtedly means you're a busy person. What is the degree of your involvement in hands-on game production and has it been significantly higher for the Pirots series?
Fredrik: I’m to some extent involved in the production of all ELK titles, but Pirots has always been a bit special for me. I have been very hands-on in all Pirots games with things like creating game mechanics and balancing, to shaping the stories and narrative. Working closely with the whole team here has made this a very collaborative and successful project.
AboutSlots: What is the best way to showcase Pirots 4 during the exclusive live stream in your opinion? Will it be mostly regular spinning action or making more use of the X-iter options?
Sebbe: We’ll do a bit of everything for sure, but my experience as a streamer tells me that the viewers will be requesting some degenerate super bonuses, and we will of course deliver on that. Most people play normal spins, though, and we want to show players what they can expect if they choose to spin it themselves!
AboutSlots: Any predictions for the highest win achieved during the event? Will we see the 10,000x max hit? If not, what "times bet" prize do you think we manage to squeeze out?
Sebbe: On the stream, we have believers, and we have non-believers. I am always a believer. Max win inc!
Fredrik: I hope to see some solid hits on the Super Bonus buys, I will go with 3,120x as my prediction, but hopefully we get even closer to Sebbe’s belief.
AboutSlots: Are you preparing any special surprises for our viewers? Perhaps some cool ELK Studios merch will be up for grabs?
Fredrik: We won’t spoil exactly what will happen, but we are certainly not coming empty handed!
AboutSlots: Thank you for the conversation! We're beyond excited to have you with us during the exclusive live stream of Pirots 4 on the 24th of July at 17:00 CET. See you there!
