NetEnt history and ownership
NetEnt was founded in 1996.
NetEnt's parent company is Evolution AB.
NetEnt and Evolution now work as one group. NetEnt slots and Evolution live games therefore appear in the same lobbies at many casinos. This matters for Kenyan players, because one studio choice can bring both slot and live products. Our overview of casino software providers compares studios side by side.
Slots
- Classic hits that still fill lobbies: Starburst (2012) and Gonzo's Quest (2011).
- New mechanics: Avalanche reels, cluster pays and expanding wilds.
- Branded and story-led slots alongside simple low-volatility games.
- Sequels with higher volatility and larger maximum wins.

Avalanche reels remove winning symbols and drop new symbols into the gap, so one spin can pay several times in a row. Cluster pays reward groups of touching symbols rather than fixed lines. Expanding wilds cover a whole reel, which raises the number of winning lines on that spin.
Volatility affects how a session feels. A low-volatility slot such as Starburst pays small wins often. A high-volatility sequel pays less often but can pay more per hit. Check a game's volatility and RTP in its info screen before you stake money. Our guide to NetEnt pros and cons weighs these trade-offs.
Table and live games
NetEnt built RNG blackjack and roulette with clear layouts and low minimums. Live dealer games are now mainly Evolution's side of the group. See our new live casinos page.

RNG means a random number generator decides each hand or spin, so no dealer is involved. Live games use a real dealer and a studio camera, which is Evolution's specialism. Players who want a dealer should look at the live games rather than the RNG tables.
Progressive jackpots
NetEnt's networked jackpots pool part of every bet across many casinos. Mega Fortune and Hall of Gods have paid prizes in the millions of euros; Divine Fortune uses smaller jackpots that are won more often.

A networked jackpot takes a small share of each bet at every connected casino and adds it to one shared prize. Because the pool grows across many casinos, the top prize can reach very high sums. The chance of winning it on any one spin is very small. Treat jackpot slots as entertainment, set a budget first, and read the casino's terms on how jackpot wins are paid.
What comes next
Expect more sequels to classic titles, feature-buy options where allowed, and closer cross-over with Evolution's live formats. Our guide to the best new NetEnt games shows how to judge new releases.
No release dates or titles are listed here, because this page only describes products that already exist. Test a new game in demo mode, if the casino offers one, before you stake money.
