NetEnt is a slot studio with some of the best-known online slots, from Starburst and Gonzo's Quest to Dead or Alive 2. Since 2020 it has belonged to the Evolution group, which also closed NetEnt's own live casino after the takeover, so today NetEnt means slots. Its catalogue runs from gentle, low-volatility games to some of the most volatile slots around.

Who NetEnt is
NetEnt (Net Entertainment) is one of the older online slot studios. Evolution bought it in 2020 and folded it into its group; NetEnt's live dealer studio in Malta was closed in the process, and the NetEnt brand continues as a slot studio under Evolution, whose Maltese company runs the NetEnt site.
NetEnt games and what they play like
NetEnt's range is wide. At one end are steady, frequent-win games; at the other, slots built around rare, very large wins. Our reviews show both: Wilderland tops out at 240× the stake and Druid's Dream at 200×, while Divine Fortune Megaways goes to 25,000× and Dead or Alive 2 to 111,111×. A low maximum usually means smaller, more regular wins; a very high one means long runs without much and a rare chance of a big result.
NetEnt also runs progressive jackpot slots such as the Divine Fortune series, where part of every stake feeds a jackpot shared across casinos.
RTP: what to check
The RTPs in our NetEnt reviews range from 95.7% (Narcos Mexico) to 97% (Reel Rush). Some studios supply the same slot in more than one RTP setting and the casino picks which to run, so check the game's info or paytable screen at your casino. Our guide to how slots pay explains RTP and volatility.
Where you find NetEnt games
NetEnt slots are offered at many licensed and offshore casinos. Check the casino's licence before you play; our licence guides explain what each one means for you.
