NetEnt Casino Products
NetEnt specialises in the production of slot machines. They have a massive range of titles that all types of players are sure to love. The portfolio does include a few other games, RNG versions of card and table games, but the collection is nowhere near as extensive as the slots. Beyond games, the company also has a casino back office solution that provides operators with powerful player management and marketing tools.
Slot Machines
As mentioned, NetEnt is a true specialist in designing online slot machines and they have more than 200 available for players. The company is mainly focused on modern video slots that are always stunningly designed and very often bring at least one innovative feature. However, those who enjoy simpler, classic style slots will also find plenty to keep them busy in NetEnt’s portfolio.
When it comes to themes, NetEnt has of course covered all the bases. There are slots based upon nature, travel, history, adventures, and so on. They also have a number of games with themes that players may not have seen before, which will appeal to a highly diverse audience. The developer has also managed to secure a number of licensing deals to offer branded slots. It has games based upon some hugely popular films and television shows, such as Jumanji, Narcos and Vikings. Furthermore, it has produced a series of games based upon famous bands and musicians, such as Guns N Roses, Jimi Hendrix and Ozzy Osbourne. As such, the NetEnt portfolio truly contains something for everyone.
Beyond the themes and licensing deals, NetEnt’s slots have always stood out for two reasons. The first is the care that goes into the design. The graphics are always impressive and NetEnt truly raised the bar for other developers. The other reason is bonus features. You will find NetEnt slots that offer all the standard features, such as free spins games. However, NetEnt is excellent at incorporating bonus features into the base game. This adds a bit more excitement to each spin, and it has helped make the games very popular with players.
One area where NetEnt could perhaps to a little better is its progressive jackpot games. It offers just four pooled jackpot games, Mega Fortune, Hall of Gods, Arabian Nights, and Mega Fortune Dreams. However, even with a relatively small offering, it has still managed to set some records and Mega Fortune is in the Guinness World Records for a record-breaking payout on an online slot game of €17.86 million. It also broke a world record on mobile in 2015 with a payout of €8.6 million.
In short, NetEnt is a true leader in the world of online slots and even a quick look at the company’s games shows that it is completely deserving of its reputation.
RNG Card and Table Games
As mentioned, NetEnt is a true specialist in slots, but they do have a small collection of card and table games that covers the basics and will in fact be enough for many players. For example, Roulette players who are not looking for unusual variants will enjoy playing NetEnt’s versions of European Roulette, French Roulette and American Roulette. The games bring players all the features needed for an enjoyable experience, and advanced players will appreciate the racetrack betting areas, statistical analysis, and so on. The games have the standard Roulette RTPs (97.3% for European and French, 94.74% for American).
Blackjack is a slightly different story. Blackjack players who are looking for a very specific rule set may have to look elsewhere, but those who are happy with what have become the standard casino rules will find all they need in NetEnt’s game. This means that the game uses six decks, the dealer stands on all 17s, Double Down is available on all hand totals, and it offers even money for Blackjack when the dealer up card is an Ace. The game even allows multi-hand play. NetEnt also offer a single deck version of Blackjack, and this is sure to be appealing to advanced players.
In addition to Blackjack and Roulette, NetEnt also offer a Baccarat game. It is available in four different versions, standard, low roller, high roller, and VIP. The actual gameplay is identical in each game, but it allows operators to cater to different sized bankrolls. The game is standard in every way, and it offers a slightly enhanced payout of 9:1 for tie bets.
The only other non-slot game offered by NetEnt is Jacks or Better Double Up video poker. It gives players the choice of playing in single or multi-hand mode and it has a gamble feature that gives players the chance to try to double their winnings up to five times in a row.
As mentioned, this is not a huge collection of games, but they are all very high quality and there is no doubt that players will enjoy them.
Device Compatibility
NetEnt has been a true pioneer in the gambling industry and while they were not the first to ensure that their games were cross-device compatible, they were not far behind. NetEnt currently develops all of its titles using HTML5 technology. This means that the games can be easily loaded in modern web browsers regardless of what device or operating system a player is using. They can just as easily be enjoyed on a desktop computer as they can on a smartphone or tablet. The company has put a huge amount of effort into ensuring that the playing experience remains the same regardless of device, so players will be able to enjoy their favourite games in the way that is most comfortable for them.
