A guide to the best NetEnt games at new casinos

NetEnt has made online slots since the late 1990s and is now part of Evolution. Its catalogue runs from classics such as Starburst and Gonzo's Quest to recent high-volatility releases such as Reel Rush XXXtreme.

Judge each game by its RTP version, its volatility and its features, in that order.

What makes a NetEnt game worth playing

  • Features. Avalanche reels, expanding wilds, respins and bonus games with clear rules.
  • RTP. Many NetEnt slots come in more than one RTP version; the casino chooses which.
  • Volatility. NetEnt marks it in the game info, from low (Starburst) to very high (the XXXtreme range).
  • Mobile play. The catalogue runs in HTML5 on phones and computers.

Tips for players

  • On a small budget, choose low or medium volatility slots and a stake that gives you 200 or more spins.
  • Jackpot slots usually have a lower base RTP, because part of each bet feeds the jackpot.
  • Try the demo first; NetEnt games almost always have one.
  • Check which NetEnt games count toward a bonus, since some are excluded.

Our guide to RTP explains why the version matters, and the software page covers other studios.

Responsible gaming

Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun

These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.

18+ only

Adults only, everywhere

You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
