NetEnt

NETENTNetEnt, formerly known as NetEntertainment, is a casino game developer based in Sweden. NetEnt offers both live and non-live casino games, and is a giant and a trailblazer in both segments.

Among other things, NetEnt is famous for the large progressive jackpots that can be won on the games Mega Fortune, Mega Fortune Dreams, Hall of Gods, and Arabian Nights. Some of the largest progressive jackpots in the history of online casino gambling have been paid out by NetEnt slots.

The NetEnt game portfolio contains slots, table games, video poker, and more. Some of the older games are not adapted for play on touch-screen devices, but there are still plenty of games to chose from for mobile players. Since 2017, NetEnt games have been released as HTML5 games which means that no special adaption to mobile devices is requried – they are mobile-friendly from day one. In addition to all the new HTML5 games, NetEnt has also converted quite a lot of old games into HTML5. By the end of 2017, their HTML5 porfolio included over 70 titles and it has grown steadily since then.

NetEnt releases many new games each year, and they are often utilized in casino promotions, e.g. through generous free spins hand outs and fun little tournament contests. NetEnt game perks is also a favourite when online casinos put together welcome bonus packages.

Playing NetEnt games

NetEnt games can be found at over 200 gambling sites.

You can for instance play NetEnt Games at:

  • AHTI Casino
  • BitStarz
  • Casumo

Slots from NetEnt

The NetEnt slot portfolio is huge, and is replenished with many new games each year.

Quite a few of NetEnt’s games have become classics that attract huge crowds even though they are (by online casino standards) quite old now. In this group, we find titles such as Dead or Alive, Starburst and the ground-breaking Gonzo’s Quest. Released in 2010, Gonzo’s Quest was one of the first online slots that displayed something else than spinning reels. When you play Gonzo’s Quest, big stones come tumbling down over the screen, and each stone is carved with a symbol.

If you are looking for low volatility, we recommend Aloha Cluster Pays from NetEnt. The setting is a beautiful island, on which you find not five but SIX reels. The RTP is 96.42%.

If high volatility is more to your liking, check out Dead or Alive, a highly volatile slot with a Wild West theme. You can also try the sequal Dead or Alive II, which was released in 2019 and is a highly volatile slot too, just like its predecessor. Dead or Alive II sports the same theme, but the graphics and animations have been updated to a more modern look.

Last but not least, NetEnt have plenty of progressive jackpot slots, including the famous Mega Fortune, Mega Fortune Dreams, Hall of Gods, and Arabian Nights. You can read more about them below.

About NetEnt

NetEntertainment was founded in Sweden in 1996, but actually has roots stretching back even farther – into the Swedish brick-and-mortar gambling company today known as Cherryföretagen. In 1963, AB Restaurang Rouletter was founded, providing Swedish nightclubs with all-inclusive roulette packages. In 1972, this company became Cherry, and in 1996 NetEntertainment was founded by Pontus Lindwall – a son of one of the original founders of AB Restaurang Rouletter.

NetEntertainment launched their own online casino in the early noughties, but nowadays, NetEnt is only focused on providing other casinos with games and casino services.

Since then, NetEnt has grown, branched out and formed several subsidiaries. Today, the company has two offices in its native Sweden (in Stockholm and Gothenburg, respectively) but is also present in Poland, Ukraine, Malta, Gibraltar, and the USA.

The parent company NetEntertainment is listed on the Stockholm Nasdaq exchange. Ticker: NET-B, ISIN: SE0011089200.

To get in contact with NetEnt, you can send an email to info@netent.com or call +46 8 578 54 500.
