ELK Studios: The Studio That Builds Pirots

Behind every Pirots release stands ELK Studios, a developer based in Stockholm. Active since 2013, the company built its name on a phone-first approach and on signature systems — CollectR™ and X-iter™ chief among them — that competitors have since chased.

Small catalogue, strong identities

ELK arrived just as play was shifting to phones and leaned into it early. Instead of flooding lobbies with titles, it has kept output deliberately small, giving each game a clear character. Pirots is the clearest case in point — a single collecting idea reskinned into a new setting every time.

What goes into an ELK slot

Three crafts meet in every title. Design tunes how features escalate across a round; maths fixes the 94% RTP, the high variance and the 10,000x cap that set the risk; and art hands each game — jungle, frontier, deep space, Ancient Egypt — a look that cuts through a busy lobby. CollectR™ and the optional X-iter™ purchase are the connective tissue across the range.

Licences and Oversight

ELK Studios holds a Malta Gaming Authority B2B licence (MGA/B2B/605/2018), works under UK Gambling Commission account number 40844, and carries Romanian ONJN licences 821 and 820, both dated 15.05.2020. Its current Pirots line runs from Pirots 2 through Pirots 3, Pirots 4 and Pirots X, with Pirots 5 still to come. Because ELK supplies games rather than running a casino of its own, where any Pirots title is available depends on your local operator and the licences it holds.

Careers and the team

The Stockholm team stays comparatively small, spanning design, maths, art, engineering and account management. Vacancies appear regularly on the studio's own site, which is the place to check if a job there interests you — we are an independent guide with no link to its recruitment.
