The birds broke into the temple and immediately started stealing the least useful curse.
Pirots 5 opened inside a golden Egyptian ruin where every torch looked annoyed to still be burning. The grid sat in the middle, six by six, framed in carved stone, blue-black tiles sunk beneath sandstone edges, packed with gems, scarabs, coins, Bonus turtles, Super Bonus turtles, Wild letters, and birds who had clearly mistaken sacred warning symbols for decorative encouragement.
The temple had locked chests.
The temple had sealed doors.
The temple had catacomb corners, strange tiles, ancient symbols, glowing gems, and the heavy silence of a place built by people who had gone to extraordinary effort to keep idiots out.
The birds had arrived anyway.
One wore a pirate hat and looked ready to peck a ruby out of a royal curse. Another stared across the grid with the soft confusion of a creature about to walk into history sideways. The green one had the holy focus of something that would steal a scarab and call it destiny. The purple one looked angry that the temple contained architecture.
I started at €0.80.
Small.
Cautious.
A stake low enough that if the birds awakened something wrapped in linen, I could claim I had only paid for torchlight.
The X-iter menu waited nearby with its shortcuts shining like forbidden doorways. Bonus Hunt. Mega Hunt. Cursed Temple. Bonus. Super Bonus. The 250x Super Bonus route sat there like a golden staircase descending into a chamber where every feather would be judged separately.
I left it alone.
Paying upfront to send these birds deeper into a cursed temple felt like offering a scarab my house keys.
First spin scattered gems, scarabs, one Wild W, a Bonus turtle near the bottom, and a red gem sitting directly in front of a bird. The bird moved toward a scarab instead.
Excellent.
The expedition had leadership.
The scarab paid €1.60. The bird collected it with a bright little hop, delighted by the wrong relic. A gem upgraded somewhere else. The collection meter at the top nudged forward. The locked chest above the grid blinked once, not opening, just acknowledging that sacred theft had begun.
Second spin brought coins, purple gems, and a blue bird collecting a symbol near the center. The grid tapped forward in tiny steps. Pirots always makes small movement feel like a bad prophecy. One bird grabs a gem. Another crosses a tile. A meter glows. Suddenly the temple looks less like a slot and more like a tomb map being edited by parrots.
I understood none of their route choices.
I distrusted all of them.
A few base spins passed with the birds doing exactly enough to keep blame alive. One collected a red gem while a Bonus turtle sat nearby, ignored, glowing with the patience of a sacred creature nobody respected. Another moved toward the top, then drifted after a coin like the coin had whispered old secrets. A 10x coin flashed on the right. No bird reached it. The pirate bird looked across the grid with the face of something forming a plan, which worried me because his last plan had involved leaving money alone.
Then the Secret Door appeared.
A carved tile.
Quiet.
Too calm.
The kind of temple mechanism that does not need to threaten you because it already knows the floor.
The blue bird stepped onto the symbol above it, collected, and the whole grid rotated.
Stone shifted.
Symbols moved.
Birds moved.
The temple turned the visible field like it had grown tired of watching the raid happen in one direction. A Bonus turtle that had been close to the pirate bird slid away. A coin moved nearer to a corner. One bird ended up facing a dead stretch of collected tiles with the blank dignity of a parrot who had offended geometry.
A crossover tile lit faintly.
The green bird slipped over a place that should have been finished and grabbed a purple gem. The temple allowed it, which somehow felt worse than stopping it. The meter pulsed again. The chest stayed locked, shining down from the top like it had seen every feathered mistake before and saved none of them.
I moved to €1.20.
Not confidence.
A bad reaction to rotating stone.
The next spin dropped a catacomb corner under a scarab.
The pirate bird reached it.
Of course.
A reasonable creature would see a marked corner in a cursed temple and choose another direction. This bird treated it like an invitation carved by snacks.
The Catacombs opened.
A mummy stepped out.
For one clean second, the mummy looked like the sensible party.
It stood there wrapped, ancient, dragged from its chamber to face a bird in a hat. The bird bounced at it with criminal enthusiasm. Torchlight flickered along the stone. The mummy lurched. The bird pecked, dodged, and somehow turned sacred burial defense into slapstick.
The mummy fell.
I felt the temple lose respect for itself.
Reward: one Bonus symbol.
One.
All that dust. All that burial anger. All that ancient linen. One turtle-shaped piece of progress.
Still, it counted.
Two Bonus symbols had now been collected. One more would open the bonus. A Super Bonus turtle had been visible earlier, but the birds had passed it like it was carved in a language their feathers refused to learn.
Back on the grid, the Secret Door rotation had left the layout crooked enough to bother the eyes. Gems had upgraded. The meter carried progress. The chest glowed. The birds resumed walking through the temple with the confidence of thieves who had already forgotten where the entrance was.
Then Captain Blackfeather arrived.
He came in like a curse with a beak.
Pirate face.
Crooked authority.
Dark feathered glow.
He looked like the sort of bird ancient priests warned each other about in very small carvings near the ceiling. He pointed across the grid, and two birds became ghosts.
Ghost birds.
Not better birds.
Not wiser birds.
Just the same bad decisions with afterlife access.
Their symbols transformed into Blackfeather gems, dark and cursed, sitting on the tiles like treasure with teeth. The ghost birds drifted through the temple with blue-white trails, passing over old paths and collecting those gems with eerie purpose. Annoyingly, death had improved their navigation.
The first ghost collected a Blackfeather gem.
€9.60.
The second slipped across a crossover path and grabbed another.
€18.40.
The temple pulsed. The torches flared. The living birds looked suddenly less qualified than their own hauntings.
I moved to €2.00.
Terrible.
A feathered decision.
The grid had two Bonus symbols collected, a Super Bonus turtle near the upper right, several upgraded gems, and a chest above it all that behaved like it had been sealed by someone who hated birds personally. The next spin dropped a regular Bonus symbol at the bottom and another Super Bonus symbol closer to the middle. A living bird had a route toward the regular symbol. A ghost bird had a line toward the Super.
The living bird got there first.
Regular Bonus triggered.
Not Super.
The Super Bonus turtle remained visible, glowing, untouched, one stupid movement away from becoming the better story.
The game celebrated.
I did not.
A bird had just chosen the smaller curse.
The bonus opened with the same grid size, the same meter progress, the same upgraded gems, and the same feeling that every tile had already filed a complaint with the gods. The birds began inside the mess they had made, which is the cruel beauty of Pirots. Nothing forgets. Not the temple. Not the meter. Not the mistake.
First bonus spin: red gem collected.
€6.00.
Second: coin collected.
€14.00.
The chest flashed, then stayed shut, preserving its ancient tradition of being near money and not sharing.
Third: Secret Door again.
The temple rotated the grid as if changing angles might make the birds less embarrassing. A reachable Bonus turtle slid out of line. A coin moved closer. One ghost bird crossed an old collected tile, grabbed a purple gem, and stopped beside a blocked path, glowing softly with the confidence of an afterlife that still lacked directions.
The meter climbed.
The pirate bird collected a scarab instead of the visible Super Bonus symbol.
I began to suspect the birds had sworn an oath against obvious success.
Blackfeather returned during the bonus and turned another bird into a ghost. The grid briefly looked like a haunted aviary under sacred supervision. Three ghost trails crossed the tiles, collecting Blackfeather gems, dragging wins from corners, making the living birds seem like temple debris with eyes.
€27.20.
€43.60.
€58.40.
The total climbed, but every climb dragged a missed sacred door behind it. A Super Bonus symbol landed near the top. A ghost bird drifted toward it. A Secret Door tile waited nearby, ready to twist the whole chamber again. The next movement could have dragged the bonus into something bigger, louder, and much less reasonable.
A scarab fell into the path.
Collected.
Not the Super Bonus.
The scarab had value.
I still wanted it buried again.
The bonus ended at €96.40.
At €2.00.
For ghosts, Blackfeather, Secret Doors, Catacombs, mummy combat, upgraded gems, and a chest behaving like it had swallowed the temple’s last honest coin, €96.40 felt too neat and too small at the same time.
I dropped to €0.80 immediately.
The birds had received enough royal funding.
The base game resumed. The grid stayed larger. Progress stayed alive. The temple remembered everything except mercy. A few spins gave small gem hits. One coin landed where no bird could reach it. A Bonus turtle appeared on the left and three separate birds avoided it with the smoothness of creatures guided by a cursed wind.
Then the grid began to empty.
Slowly.
Visibly.
Cruelly.
A gem gone.
A scarab gone.
Coin gone.
Another Secret Door rotation swung the last cluster into reach. A ghost bird crossed a collected tile and snatched a red gem. The pirate bird finally collected something useful, probably by accident. Suddenly the visible field looked too clear, like the temple floor had been swept by panic.
The Cursed Temple coin game triggered.
The chest opened.
After all that glowing and refusing, the chest finally opened.
Coins spread across the grid with values attached. The temple floor turned gold. The birds vanished from responsibility, which improved the whole ritual immediately. No routes. No pecking the wrong relic. No mummy chambers. No ghost feathers. Just coins and a chest doing what every chest in a cursed temple should have done from the start.
First drops came clean.
€4.00.
€8.00.
€12.00.
A 25x coin landed on the right and pushed the total upward with real weight. The torches brightened. The gold frame glowed. For a brief moment, Pirots 5 remembered treasure without requiring a bird to interpret it.
Then the coin game slowed.
Two dead drops.
A €2.00 coin tucked into a corner like a dusty offering.
Another dead drop.
A gold coin flashed near the top, bright enough to make the whole tomb seem ready to forgive itself, then settled as €6.00.
The total reached €142.00.
Good.
Cleaner than anything the birds had touched.
The last coin landed in the corner for €4.00, tucked beneath a scarab frame like it had arrived late to its own burial.
Cursed Temple total: €146.00.
The chest closed again.
No apology.
No blessing.
Just a lid shutting over the gold like the temple had remembered its manners too late.
Back in base, I gave it three spins at €0.80.
First: no real win, one gem collected by a bird that seemed surprised to help.
Second: two Bonus symbols and a Super Bonus turtle, arranged exactly far enough from every available beak to hurt.
Third: Blackfeather appeared in the middle of a dead-looking grid and turned one bird into a ghost before anything useful could happen, like an old curse deciding the crew still needed punishment.
The ghost bird collected a Blackfeather gem.
€5.60.
Then stopped under the locked chest.
Not near a path.
Not beside a coin.
Directly under the chest.
Hovering in blue light, feathers gone pale, eyes fixed upward, waiting below the treasure with the patience of something that had died, returned, and still chosen the wrong tile.
I stopped there.
The torches kept burning. The chest stayed closed. The ghost bird waited beneath it like the temple had finally found the perfect guardian: confused, cursed, and standing directly under the money.
