Library and quality
NetEnt releases fewer games, with consistent production. Microgaming offers almost any theme, from classic three-reel fruit slots to modern feature slots, with more variation in quality across a very large back catalogue.
RTP and volatility
Both publish RTP in every game. Jackpot slots return less in base play because part of each bet feeds the pot. Compare the info screen of the exact game, as our RTP guide explains.
Jackpots
Mega Moolah has created many millionaires and set a record of about €19.4 million in 2021. NetEnt's Mega Fortune and Hall of Gods also pay multi-million euro prizes. Divine Fortune pays smaller jackpots more often.
