NetEnt

Having been around for more than 20 years, NetEnt are a Swedish game developer who have a reputation for producing some of the most iconic slots in the industry. NetEnt slot machines are unmistakable, with their unique game mechanics guaranteeing a truly unique gaming experience.

History of NetEnt

Founded by Pontus Lindwall in Sweden back in 1996, NetEnt have gone on to become one of the biggest names in the online slots world.

They are considered to be a pioneer in this industry, having launched the first online casino in 2000. This was followed in 2007 with the company being listed on NGM Equity and then it was moved to the main list of the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 2009.

NetEnt Mechanics

As we said, NetEnt have a reputation for being an industry pioneer, and nowhere is this more evident than when it comes to their selection of unique game mechanics. These include:

• Cluster Pays - arguably their most famous game mechanic, this removes paylines and instead sees win formed by landing an amount of matching symbols in a cluster.
• Swirly Spins - this simple mechanic tweak sees the reels swirl instead of spin - as yet, it has only appeared in the Finn and the Swirly Spin slot series.
• Infinireels - this mechanic sees a new reel added to your game grid after each winning spin, greatly increasing your win potential.

Best NetEnt Slot Games

NetEnt have an incredible back catalogue packed full of some of the best online slots on the market, so picking out just a couple of our favourites will be tricky, but we will give it a go.

We have to start with Gonzo's Quest - if you ask someone to name a NetEnt slot machine, you might expect this to be the first game they mention. Revolving around the iconic Avalanche feature, you will join Gonzo on an adventure through history to find multiple bonus rounds, including the thrilling Freefall Bonus. If you're dipping your toe into the NetEnt water, there really is no better place to start!

Aloha Cluster Pays is another firm favourite in our eyes. The slot that first introduced us to the exciting Cluster Pays feature that we mentioned before. In addition to this, the Free Spins Bonus will keep on playing until you win. This is a truly unique slot machine.
