Piggy Bjorn 2: Winter is Coming review

Theme and Style

Piggy Bjorn 2: Winter is Coming is themed around an icy world of nordic pigs.

Players will head into a snowstorm with a gang of viking warrior pigs. With the help of some mythical weapons, they all might be able to survive the perils of winter.

This slot will appeal to players who are looking for a quirky vibe with a dash of Scandinavian flavor.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The somber soundtrack is made up of powerful drums and a haunting melody. This music leans into the more serious side of Piggy Bjorn 2: Winter is Coming, bringing to mind epic film soundtracks. A more playful soundtrack might have leaned into the absurdity of pigs living as vikings.

On the reels, players will notice icy letters displayed on stone in the style of ancient runes. A range of weapons also make an appearance, including ornately engraved axes, bows and arrows, as well as a formidable hammer.

The piggy characters themselves are animated with punk hairstyles and bold face paint. Their bulky armor has an air of glamor as well, making these hogs as much like rockstars as vikings.

In the background, an intimidatingly snowy landscape can be seen. Players will feel the chill of the cold as snow blows through the air on violent gusts of wind.

Overall, the soundtrack and animation create a unique fantasy realm of viking pigs.

Gameplay

Piggy Bjorn 2: Winter is Coming is a five-reel, four-row slot with 50 win lines.

Players can buy directly into the Bonus if they wish (see further details below).

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for every symbol with the exception of the Mega Scatter, Piggy Loot, and Piggy Collect symbols.

The Piggy Loot Symbol appears on reels 1-4 during the base game with an associated multiplier between 1x and 50x.

The Piggy Collect symbol appears only on reel 5 during the base game. In the event that at least one Piggy Loot symbol hits at the same time as a Piggy Collect symbol, every Piggy Loot symbol’s value is added together and paid.

The Snow Storm feature can be triggered at random when players experience a non-winning spin. This feature prompts a random number of symbols to ‘freeze’ before breaking out of the ice to reveal a single mystery symbol.

The Raid Bonus is triggered when players land 3 or more Scatters during the base game, beginning with the starting symbols. The number of free spins awarded corresponds to the number of triggering Scatters.

Each Scatter has the ability to start the Raid Bonus with a random feature. The Mega Scatter awards a Fury Taxes Collector.

Every time a new symbol lands during the Raid Bonus, the free spin count is reset. If players fill a reel with symbols, the reel will expand. This may happen a maximum of 2 times during the feature, once per direction.

If all reels are filled, the Raid Bonus will end, and 500x is added to the total multiplier.
