Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Bjorn the Frost Lord could fall within a few genres, blending the mystical, arctic, ice and magical elements into a supernatural and mythical slot. This sort of darkly enchanting theme is appealing for many players and serves as an interesting break from the usual more bright and bubbly casual slots online.

This slot is backdropped by an icy landscape that’s detailed in dark hues. The reels are set within a fortress, with skulls atop each column. Animated blue flames flicker from the fire pits at the top left and right, while a blue streak of lightning fire races through winning symbol combinations.

A high-intensity soundtrack accompanies gameplay that seems fitting with a console game or even a movie, with a darkly delicious edge to capture the essence of tension, action and mystery.

RTP & Volatility

This has an estimated RTP of 96.29%, which is on the good side of average for such a themed slot. It’s a highly volatile game, suggesting the prizes may be less regular in coming but are typically much higher than you’d find in lower variance offerings.

Bonus Features

Spreading Wilds - Bjorn wilds are spreading wilds, which substitutes all paying symbols. If this symbol lands in partial view it’ll move so as to be fully viewed. If it lands on a winning payline with character symbols, it’ll try to turn them wild. If the characters are successfully turned wild, the wild ‘infection’ will continue to race down the payline. If or when it fails, all wilds will then stick in place for a respin. Any new character symbols that land on a winning line with Bjorn wilds after the respin occurs will also attempt to transform.

Free Spins - 3, 4 or 5 scatters will trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. Every Bjorn wild landing and every character that transforms into a wild will add another 1 to the current character’s ‘meter’. If you fill a character’s ‘meter’, they’ll turn into a wild for the remaining duration of the bonus round and will award another 3 free spins.

Our Verdict

The atmosphere is brooding and dark, well constructed by the top quality graphics and the movie-style soundtrack. It’s a straightforward slot that delivers on both entertainment value and payout potential, and the minimum 0.10 wager makes it extra convenient for casual players to get into Bjorn’s world. The top 50.00 stake could see some generous returns, though it may not be as high as some slots and therefore the super high rollers may find it a little low. That said, higher volatility will likely require longer gameplay and more bets to see the types of returns the higher rollers hope for.

The decent 96.29% RTP and higher volatility mean there are some generous prizes to be had, though players may need to invest a little more time and wagers to reach them. The bonus aspects make this easier with the infection-like spread of wilds, respins and free spins.
