The phrase “winter is coming” just brings up the trauma of season 8 of Game of Thrones. I was invested in the show for so many years and for it to go out like that was just heartbreaking. Luckily, House of the Dragon is pretty good. Piggy Bjorn 2 – Winter is Coming slot from GameArt does, however, have nothing to do with Game of Thrones despite the name.

Don’t forget your fluffy socks

If you’re going to get yourself ready for the chilly weather, you’re going to need to know a little bit about the region and what to look out for.

The Snow Feature is triggered randomly on any non-winning spin. Once triggered a number of symbols on the reels will be frozen over. Once the ice thaws, all of the symbols that were frozen will be transformed into the same symbols for a shot at some big wins.

Is Piggy Bjorn 2 – Winter is Coming slot ice cold?

The name definitely gives it Game of Thrones vibes but the nordic theme from the first slot persists in Piggy Bjorn 2 – Winter is Coming slot. Graphically and gameplay wise, the new slot is virtually a carboncopy of its predecessor with an ice-theme slapped ontop of it. The Snow Storm feature is the only thing that differentiates the two slots with the feature not appearing in the first game at all. So, what I’m saying is fi you liked the first one, you’ll probably like this. If this is your introduction to Piggy Bjorn, there’s enough there to keep you entertained.

The slot has very high volatility meaning you’ll be waiting through winter and then some between big wins. However, the wait will be worth it thanks to the insane 80,000x max multiplier which gives you a shot at the €200,000 jackpot at just €2.50 a spin. The slot also has a 96.91% RTP.

If you’re looking for a few other pork-themed slots from GameArt, I recommend giving Book of Cupigs and Piggy Holmes a try. And yes, I was equally surprised at the number of pig-themed slots GameArt has produced. Is there really that much of a demand?
