History of Net Entertainment (NetEnt)

Net Entertainment has been producing quality mobile casino games since 1996 from their bases in Malta and Sweden. Known as one of the pre-eminent games creators in the industry (along with Microgaming and PlayTech, the other members of the ‘Big Three’) NetEnt took advantage of entering the games market at an early stage to claim a position as one of the big players in the business.

NetEnt have grown in popularity out of their Scandanavian base to the point where their titles are now available in more than 100 online casinos. Their games are known for their consistently high quality and innovative designs and are universally popular with fans of video slot games around the world, not least because NetEnt games tend to have a higher return to player (RTP) percentage than those of many of their rivals.

This Swedish games giant also stole a march on many of their competitors by entering the territory of mobile slots games earlier than most. The mobile casino games market has become ever more important as the technology powering mobile devices has advanced, and NetEnt games are at the cutting edge of this market, having launched their first mobile game back in 2011.

Popular NetEnt Slots

Although NetEnt are responsible for many creative and unorthodox new video slots, their most popular games are those which favour a simpler design.

Starburst is an example of a very simple 5 x 3 reel game with only an expanded wild symbol marking it out from the crowd

Starburst's glittering diamonds have been bewitching slots players for years. Perhaps its similarity in appearance to addictive mobile games like Candy Crush can account for its continued popularity as it does not otherwise produce a great return to players.

Bloodsuckers is another immensely popular title, particularly in Europe, but its appeal is rather easier to define given that it is the NetEnt game with the highest RTP of all. The theme of bloodsucking vampires is one which retains an enduring fascination in popular culture, so despite its advance age (in video slot game terms) the game continues to find a huge market. This title also features a bonus game which allows players to choose among stone crypts in an attempt to find high bonus multiplier before a game-ending empty coffin – a game style reproduced in a number of NetEnt releases.

Gonzo’s Quest is another NetEnt video slot that you will find in many online casino’s ‘Popular Games’ sections. This beautifully illustrated game takes the Spanish conquistadors as its theme and uses the ‘tumbling reels’ effect whereby a winning line disintegrates and is replaced by more symbols from above. Tumbling reels games have been around for a few years and have proven to be reliably popular with players who are enticed into further spins by the prospect of recurring ‘free spins’ when winning lines are replaced, particularly when each new winning line will be multiplied by an increased amount.
