Best NetEnt Slots
Unsure of which NetEnt online slots you should try first? This can be a difficult task given just how many casino games they have produced and the number of popular classics and new releases embraced by fans across the world. Below, you will find our picks for the best slots created by NetEnt. The essential starter back, if you will.
Gonzo’s Quest
Gonzo’s Quest is the fun and revolutionary slot game that not only invented the popular cascading reels feature but, in many ways, gave birth to NetEnt’s unofficial mascot, Gonzo. The bearded conquistador on the hunt for Eldorado can be seen holding out his helmet filled with gold or otherwise posing in banners across a long list of NetEnt casinos.
While it only has a relatively average RTP of 96%, it more than makes up for it in sheer entertainment. Most of the excitement comes from the cascading reels, here called the avalanche feature, which means that symbols part of winning combinations disappear, the symbols above fall, and new symbols are added, making new wins possible without paying for an extra spin. Better yet, each time this happens, the multiplier feature kicks in, multiplying your wins by x2, then x3, and if you win four times in a row, x5.
The game gets even more generous if you land the three Free Fall symbols, which activate 10 free spins and come with a multiplier of up to x15. Once you hit this feature, it can really feel like you are Gonzo and that you have indeed reached Eldorado. It is a classic for a reason.
Starburst
Starburst stands out for its vibrant graphics and incredibly simple gameplay. The game has an RTP of 96.1% and continues to maintain its position as one of NetEnt’s most popular releases well over a decade after its release. There are only 10 paylines, which is quite unusual for a video slot and, in many ways, gives it a classic one-armed bandit feel.
That said, it still comes with two features that have played a pivotal role in ensuring the game’s success. The first is their relatively standard free spins feature, where you can win 10 free spins. The latter is their random wild, which, just as the name implies, pops up randomly and can multiply your wins up to 150x.
Mega Fortune
Mega Fortune is NetEnt’s most famous jackpot slot, and at one point, it even held the Guinness World Record for the biggest jackpot win of all time. For a progressive jackpot slot of its size and stature, it has a very high RTP, namely 95.6% and boasts three different jackpots. These are the Rapid Jackpot, the Major Jackpot and the Mega Jackpot. Each jackpot is progressive, and each is bigger than the next.
The bonus game that leads to the jackpots has become iconic. It is a giant mult-wheel of fortune, where the closer you get to the middle, the higher the possible prizes are. While you need to get all the way in to get to the Mega Jackpot, the two smaller jackpots are potential wins on the two wheels leading into it and are, of course, won more frequently. Free spins are also regular.
Divine Fortune
Divine Fortune is a progressive jackpot slot that, unlike Mega Fortune is not shared between all the online casinos that host the games. Instead, each casino, or casino network, has its own individual pot.
This means two things. The first is that the jackpot sizes are generally smaller. The second is that the jackpot sizes vary drastically from one NetEnt Casino to the next. If you are a fan of Divine Fortune and have accounts at multiple NetEnt casinos, you thus have the freedom to play the game exactly where it has the biggest jackpot at any given point.
It has a high RTP at 96.59% and boasts a long list of features. Beyond regular features, such as wilds and free spins, you have falling wilds appearing randomly. This also triggers a re-spin. Better, if a wild symbol lands behind a falling wild, you get the wild-on-wild feature, which takes over the entire reel while still triggering a re-spin. On top of this, you also get the jackpot bonus game, where you have the chance to win one of its three jackpots.
Dead or Alive
Dead or Alive 2 is arguably the most known and well-regarded high volatility slot, which means that wins are rare, but when you win, you win big. High volatility slots are a popular niche amongst players tired of small, constant wins. Dead or Alive is particularly impressive in this niche due to its high RTP of 96.82%.
It is otherwise a no-nonsense slot, much like the gunfighters it depicts. It has a simple 5-reel, 3-row, and 9 paylines set-up, and the only special feature is that wild symbols multiply your wins by x2. It is, in other words, a game for people who do not want all the bells and whistles but rather a pure and basic gaming experience.
The popularity of Dead or Alive has only continued to grow, and 10 years after its initial release, a follow-up was launched Dead or Alive 2. This game is also one of NetEnt’s more popular offerings.
