The evolution of NetEnt casino products

NetEnt began as a Swedish casino software company in the 1990s and became one of the best-known online slot studios. Its games moved from desktop Flash to HTML5 and mobile, and in 2020 it became part of Evolution.

For players, the main changes are on screen: mobile-first slots, bigger feature sets and jackpot networks shared across casinos.

From Flash to mobile

Early online slots ran in Flash on desktop. NetEnt rebuilt its games in HTML5 so they run in any browser, including phones; Flash itself was retired at the end of 2020.

Slots and features

Classic hits such as Starburst and Gonzo's Quest introduced features that became standard: expanding wilds, cascading reels and multipliers. Newer releases add bigger bonus rounds and higher-volatility versions.

Tables and jackpots

NetEnt also made RNG table games, and its live casino was folded into Evolution after the takeover. Its jackpot slots, such as Mega Fortune and Divine Fortune, pool part of each stake into prizes. Our pros and cons of NetEnt guide sums up the studio today.
