NetEnt

Background

The Swedish company grew out of a company that developed games for bricks and mortar casinos. It began operations in 1996 and is now one of the leading lights in the games development world. The organisation has offices worldwide, including in the gaming cente of Malta, but is based in Vasagatan in its homeland Sweden and employs more than 1,000 people.

The firm boasts about its rapid growth culture, which has helped it expand at an extraordinary rate over the last five years. NetEnt offers more than 200 different games to around 170 online casino sites. It handled more than 36 billion gaming transactions in 2016, the most recent year for which there are records.

It’s tagline is ‘Better Gaming’, referring to the company’s constant investment in developing new features and iGaming concepts.

NetEnt Slots

NetEnt slots are amongst the most popular online casino games around. Here is a selection of the games developer’s biggest releases.

Gonzo’s Quest

Gonzo’s Quest has been delighting slots games fans at UK casino sites since 2010. The beautifully designed game tells the story of a Spanish conquistador’s trek through the Amazon to find the lost city of Eldorado. The main character is based on a real-life explorer, Gonzalo Pizarro, who invaded Peru in the 16th century.

The game offers 20 paylines across its five reels and is notable for its lush 3D graphics. It was one of the first slots to make use of the avalanche feature, where new symbols drop down to replace winning lines, offering the chance to win multiple times on the same spin.

Starburst

Starburst is a simple, but stunning slots game. Most casinos that offer a free spins bonus do so for this 2013 slot. This is due to its popularity amongst slots fans.

It only provides ten paylines over five reels, but the Expanding Wild feature gives plenty of potential for massive prizes. The game is easy on the eye, with pinpoint graphics and vibrant colours the order of the day.

Guns N’ Roses

Based on the legendary band of the same name, Guns N’ Roses forms part of the NetEnt Rocks trilogy. The other titles in the series are tributes to Motorhead and Jimi Hendrix.

Guns N’ Roses contains five of the band’s songs on the soundtrack, along with footage of Axl Rose, Slash and the rest of the gang. It is a five-reel, twenty-payline adventure in rock ‘n’ roll and contains a whole array of bonus features to keep players returning and spinning the reels.

The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man is part of a link-up between the game producers and Universal Studios. It is a cartoon-ish take on the film classic, capturing perfectly the eeriness of the original.

The game has five reels and twenty paylines, as well as two bonus features. It uses the win-both-ways format to boost your chances of success, as well as offering free spins, re-spins and Walking Wilds.   

Jackpot Slots

NetEnt runs a number of progressive jackpot slots, with top prizes growing into the millions of pounds. Titles such as Tiki Wonders, Mega Fortune and Arabian Nights are available at many UK casino sites, making some lucky players very rich indeed.

Table Games

In addition to its slots, NetEnt provides a range of casino table games too. There is a range of different types of roulette on offer, including European, American and French. You can also take part in traditional blackjack, single deck blackjack and double exposure blackjack.

In addition, NetEnt fans can play punto banco, pontoon, casino hold ‘em, red dog, baccarat, Caribbean stud poker and much more.

All casino games from the Swedish games developer come with neat graphics and smooth gameplay as standard. Each follows the official casino rules that you find at offline establishments. This means that you can be sure to enjoy the same buzz of excitement when you take part in your favourite casino staples on your mobile device or computer.    

Live Casino

NetEnt runs its own live casino games allowing you to play in real time. You can pit your wits against real life dealers at blackjack and roulette.

Features

The company has developed a series of exciting features to enhance your gaming experience. Here are some of the unique elements that make NetEnt what it is.

Cluster Pays

A number of games from the manufacturer use Cluster Pays instead of traditional paylines. This means that you win by landing groups of the same symbol, rather than arranging them along the same line.

Games that use Cluster Pays have more reels than traditional slots and the majority require you to form a cluster of nine or more to win. This isn’t set in stone and you should check the individual game instructions to find out the ruling on the slot you want to play.

Swirly Spin

Swirly Spin is a feature that uses spiral reels. Debuted in Finn and the Swirly Spin, players look down onto the spiral and attempt to move a key to the centre of the spiral to unlock free spins.

NetEnt Touch

NetEnt Touch is the name given to mobile-first games. NetEnt is committed to reflecting the trend to play casino games on mobile rather than desktop by ensuring its titles work most fluently on smartphones and tablets.  

The games have the same rules and payouts on whichever device you use, but the mobile version is engineered to make the most of the touchscreen technology available.
