Design and Navigation
When you first enter ScandiBet.com you will be met by a seasonally themed Nordic landscape as well as the two mascots of the casino greeting you, their names are Ivar and Astrid by the way. They are of course of Viking heritage in a funny cartoonish way, continuing a theme that starts already with the logo of the brand. The colors found all over the page reflect the Scandinavian theme, with lots of red, blue, white and yellow, the colors represent all the Scandinavian colors. The whole site is one of simplicity and order, everything is placed where you would expect to find it, both in the sports and casino section.
The casino part is surprisingly easy to navigate, with a series of choices at the top to take you to your desired group of games, be it slots, jackpots, live casino, blackjack or roulette. The one most players will choose is of course slots, and here we find the option to sort by popularity, alphabetical order, providers or simply showing the games you have chosen as your favorites, and if you are looking for one game the search bar is there to help you.
