Piggy Bjorn 2

Piggy Bjorn 2 Slot Review — GameArt

Piggy Bjorn 2, released by GameArt on 20 December 2022, runs on a 5-reel, 50-payline grid built around a Raid Bonus Game that locks symbols into a Hold & Respin round, with a maximum win of x80,000. The design layers collection meters (Piggy Loot, Piggy Collect) and a Snowstorm wild feature on top of that respin core, giving the base game a different rhythm from a plain 50-line title. GameArt, a Malta-based studio founded in 2013, lists this title among the GameArt slots running at operators, where the casino’s own game information panel shows which RTP version is in use.

Core Gameplay Experience

The 5-reel, 50-payline structure keeps each base spin compact while the game works toward its Raid Bonus Game trigger. Bets range from $0.50 to $100 per spin, wide enough to size stakes for a long run of base spins between features. The visual theme sets a Viking longship against a snowstorm, pairing a Vikings theme with a winter atmosphere.

Features and Mechanics

Piggy Loot and Piggy Collect work as collection mechanics: symbols landing on the reels feed a meter that carries progress toward the Raid Bonus Game rather than paying out immediately. The Snowstorm feature introduces a weather-driven wild event on the base reels, adding extra wild coverage outside the bonus round. Wild symbols substitute for regular paying symbols, while Scatter and Mega Scatter symbols provide two tiers of bonus entry, with Mega Scatter listed alongside Scatter as a higher-value trigger for the same round.

The Raid Bonus Game itself runs as a Hold & Respin round: triggering symbols lock in place and each respin can add new ones, with Taxes, Reinforce and Hammer acting as modifiers that alter the value or protection of locked symbols during the sequence. A Buy Feature option lets a player pay directly for entry into the Raid Bonus Game instead of waiting for it to trigger from scatters.

RTP, Volatility and Payout Model

Piggy Bjorn 2 returns a theoretical 96.91% to players over time at very high volatility, a pairing that favors infrequent but larger payouts over steady small wins. That 96.91% figure sits in the 88th percentile of the 4,486 slots in our catalog with a published RTP, against a catalog median of 96%. Very high volatility is also uncommon on its own terms: only 12 of 4,744 slots in our catalog carry that same profile. With payout potential running up to x80,000, most of that ceiling sits inside the Raid Bonus Game rather than the base reels, so a session’s value depends heavily on reaching and running that respin round rather than on base-spin line hits. This reading of return and volatility follows the same review and rating methodology used across the catalog.

How to Play Piggy Bjorn 2 Online

The demo version of Piggy Bjorn 2 is available through the slots category, running the full reel set, paylines and Raid Bonus Game trigger without staking real money. It also sits alongside other titles in the demo catalogue for players comparing volatility profiles before depositing. GameArt titles run at 88 casinos in our catalog, and the RTP version in use is set by the operator, so checking the game information panel at the chosen casino before playing is the way to confirm which version applies.

Verdict on Piggy Bjorn 2

Piggy Bjorn 2 is a very high volatility, 50-payline slot where the x80,000 ceiling and most of the payout value sit inside the Raid Bonus Game rather than the base reels. It suits players who can accept long stretches of base spins without a feature trigger and who size bets specifically for that variance, including through the Buy Feature when they want to control entry timing. It is a poor fit for players working with a small, fixed session budget or looking for frequent small wins, since the format depends on reaching the bonus round for most of its returns.
