Hot on the heels of the highly anticipated Pirots 4, ELK Studios has swooped back in with a new release – and this one’s… different. Fish and Bird swaps out the bold, modern visuals we’re used to for something much more stripped back. At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking this came from an entirely different developer.
But look a little closer and you’ll find the familiar ELK fingerprints: the iconic bell ring on big wins, some familiar symbol designs, and of course, those quirky bonus features that have become part of ELK’s DNA.
🎯 Bonus Hunt Spins
A standout change here is the Bonus Hunt Spins, costing 2.5x your bet—slightly cheaper than the 3x price tag seen in Pirots 3 and 4. In return, you get three times the chance to trigger the bonus round. That’s not a bad trade-off and adds a nice touch of value to the grind.
🔥 Spreading Wild Feature Spin – 10x Stake
The first of two feature spins offers a guaranteed spreading wild on every spin. At 10x your stake, it’s not cheap, and while there’s potential for some tidy 5-line hits, those wins are more the exception than the rule. It’s exciting—but risky.
🐟 Big Fish Feature Spin – 25x Stake
Here’s where things get wild. The Big Fish feature costs a whopping 25x your bet, and while it guarantees a giant fish symbol that can land big, it’s not a guaranteed win. Yep, dead spins are still possible—at that price! It’s bold, it’s volatile, and it won’t be for everyone.
💰 Bonus Buys
Bonus and Super Bonus buys clock in at 100x and 500x your bet respectively, with the super guaranteeing collectors and huge multiplier potential. Fairly standard for ELK, and likely where the real thrill lies for bonus hunters.
🎮 Overall Vibe
Fish and Bird is a bit of a curveball from ELK Studios. It’s visually toned down and mechanically straightforward, but that doesn’t strip away the fun. While it doesn’t hit the highs of Pirots, it’s got charm, a few bold features, and a cool theme to keep things interesting.

(Not their biggest splash, but still worth casting a line.)
