Piggy Bjorn 2 - Winter is Coming Slot Review
Where I live, it’s cold enough that windows freeze up.🥶
I also live with a teenage boy. He and his friend doodle penises into the frost on my car’s windscreen. So the next day, when the ice melts, I find myself driving around looking through the dirty figments of monstrous phalluses and testes.❄️
I don’t get mad, though. It’s pretty damn funny. I point out to my boy and his buddies that they never add pubic hair because they don’t have any.🤣
Piggy Bjorn 2 - Winter is Coming slot by GameArt looks as cold as it needs to be to draw dicks in frost on windscreens.
Gameplay
Piggy Bjorn 2 - Winter is Coming slot is a well-designed game that incorporates its Viking Pig theme into every aspect of the game.
You play on a 5x4 game grid with 50 paylines to create winning combinations.
The bronze coin symbols in the base game are called Piggy Loot symbols. They land on reels 1 to 4 and carry a 1x to 5x, 7x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, or 50x value.
The Piggy Loot symbols are worthless unless you land at least one Piggy Collect symbol, Piggy Bjorn himself, which only lands on the 5th reel in the base game.
You can land more than one Piggy Collect symbol on the 5th reel, in which case all the Piggy Loot symbol values are collected again and awarded to you.
They messed up the titular Bjorn character design, in my opinion. I get that the designers were trying to make him look like a dashing hero with a star painted over his eye. But to me, he looks like an overweight Boy George-esque, 80s-era, pop star.
There are also 5 high-paying symbols: a hammer, crossed axes, crossed swords, a bow and arrows, and a shield.
The RTP on this slot is 96.91%.
The betting range stays quite low, only €0.50 up to €2.50, which means there is less financial risk per spin at least. The game also has very high volatility, which means you could be in for potentially big wins.
Speaking of big wins, the biggest prize in Piggy Bjorn 2 - Winter is Coming slot is €200,000! That’s enough to get anyone’s temperature up. To win it, you will need to bet the maximum amount and hit the crazy top multiplier of 80,000x.
You can play this slot with any currency, with the exception of Japanese yen. 不運。
Features
WILDS
Wild symbols can substitute for all symbols except for Scatter, Mega Scatter, Piggy Loot, and Piggy Collect symbols.
SCATTERS
There are two Scatter symbols in Piggy Bjorn 2 - Winter is Coming slot.
Scatter symbol: You need to land 3 or more Scatters to trigger the Raid Bonus feature and get a random modifier. For every Scatter over 3, you’ll be awarded additional Raid Bonus symbols.
Mega Scatter symbol: This Scatter symbol also counts towards triggering the Raid Bonus feature, but it awards a Raid Bonus Fury symbol, which applies to the Raid Bonus feature.
Each triggering Scatter symbol counts for 1 spin in the Raid Bonus feature.
- 3 Scatters = 3 spins and a raid bonus symbol
- 4 Scatters = 3 spins and raid bonus symbols
- 5 Scatters = 5 spins and raid bonus symbols
The Raid Bonus feature is a Hold & Win feature with modifiers called Raid Bonuses that give you an advantage during the Raid Bonus feature.
Before the Raid Bonus feature starts, a popup will display the randomly awarded Raid Bonus symbols and what they will do.
Here is a list of the possible Raid Bonus symbols and their modifiers:
- Coin Bonuses: These symbols are sticky and reveal a multiplier that is added to the overall multiplier.
- The Bronze Bonus symbol reveals a value between 1x and 20x.
- The Silver Bonus symbol reveals a value between 21x and 100x.
- The Gold Bonus symbol reveals a value between 101x and 200x.
- Payday Bonus: Lands with a value equal to 2x the lowest visible value on the reels. It then adds its value to all other visible symbols.
- Taxes Bonus: Adds all visible values to its own.
- Payday/Taxes: Adds all visible values to its own, then adds that value to all other visible symbols but does not payout itself.
- Reinforce Bonus: Increases the number of spins by +1 up to 5, but does not contribute to the number of triggering spins.
- Hammer Bonus: Lands with a value between 5x and 200x, then adds that value to all other visible symbols on the same reel and row. If the reel and row are empty, it doubles its own value.
- Bow Bonus: Lands with a value between 5x and 200x. Then adds its value to up to 5 symbols. It can add to the same symbol more than once.
- Axe Bonus: Lands with one of the following multipliers: 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x and randomly multiples 2 to 5 symbols’ values except Fury symbols.
- Odin’s Will Bonus: Sums up to 3 symbols’ multipliers on the reels, excluding Fury symbols, then adds its value to all surrounding symbols in up to a 2-position radius. If no symbols are in range, it doubles its own value.
- Druid Sickle Bonus: This symbol lands with a value of its own but activates up to 4 other symbols actions, excluding Fury symbols. Before the actions start, the Druid Sickle symbol will sum up their multipliers and use that as its total multiplier.
Fury Bonuses award sticky symbols that stay in place and activate their modifiers on each spin until the end of the feature.
- Fury Payday Bonus: Lands with a value equal to the lowest-value symbol on the reels, then adds its own value to all other symbols on each spin. Fury Taxes Bonus: Adds all visible values to its own on each spin.
- Fury Odin’s Will Bonus: Sums up to 3 symbols’ multipliers randomly, excluding Fury symbols, then adds its value to all surrounding symbols in up to a 2-position radius on each spin. If no symbols are in range, it doubles its own value.
- Fury Hammer Bonus: Lands with a value between 5x and 200x, then adds that value to all other visible symbols on the same reel and row on each spin. If the reel and row are empty, it doubles its own value.
- Fury Bow Bonus: Lands with a value between 5x and 200x, then adds its value to up to 5 symbols on each spin. It can add to the same symbol more than once.
If you fill a reel or row with symbols, it will expand one position in each direction. It can expand a maximum of twice during a feature.
The final prize is only paid out at the end of the feature.
If all the reels are filled with symbols in every position, the Raid Bonus feature will end, and you’ll be awarded an additional 500x to the total multiplier and your prize.
SNOW STORM FEATURE
The Snow Storm feature is triggered randomly on a spin that results in no winning combinations.
Snowfall obscures your view of the reels and freezes a random number of adjacent symbols. The symbols then break the ice and reveal that all the positions now contain identical paying symbols.
BUY BONUS
Piggy Bjorn 2 - Winter is Coming slot lets you choose between 2 Raid Bonus features or the Snow Storm feature.
- 3 Scatters + Raid Bonus = 100x your current bet.
- 2 Scatters + 1 Mega Scatter + Raid Bonuses + Fury Bonus = 500x your current bet
You can increase the chances of a Snow Storm feature triggering on a spin that results in no winning combinations for 15x your bet per spin.
Performance
I experienced a few error messages while testing Piggy Bjorn 2 - Winter is Coming slot on my Windows laptop and had to refresh the page.
Admittedly, I played less on my Android phone using the DuckDuckGo browser, but I didn’t encounter the error message. Take from that what you will.
Maximum Win
The betting range is €0.50 up to €2.50, and the maximum multiplier is 80,000x, which can lead to a top prize of €200,000.
Conclusion
The really impressive thing about this slot is that you can potentially earn €200,000 on a €2.50 bet!
But if we’re sensible, that won’t happen unless you’re so lucky that €200,000 won’t even mean much to you because your life is already a dream happening in paradise.
Almost all the action in Piggy Bjorn 2 - Winter is Coming slot is in the Raid Bonus feature. With over 10 possible modifiers, some of which are more useful than others, you can make your money if luck is on your side. Or perhaps Odin’s favor is more applicable in this game.
