- key information about the operator, success story and cooperation with other leading manufacturers;
- other curiosities you haven't thought of yet.
Why is Netent so popular?
The first thing we want to explain is the great interest in the company. Not only in South Africa, but in every country of the world, the hottest gambler knows what Netent is and what to expect from it. First of all, this popularity is due to the huge number of licenses, certificates and permits received to offer their services even in countries where gambling is strictly regulated. Step by step, Netent is moving forward and has recently begun to pave its way towards North America and the United States. In Canada, Netent even has a license from British Columbia, for which Vancouver gamblers are very grateful. The situation in the USA is as follows: playing slots from Netent is possible only in New Jersey. In South Africa, Netent was able to come to life on every page of the best online casino.
The second and no less important reason for the great level of popularity of Netent in the world is the use of the most modern technologies of casino games. We are talking about VR technology and the option to be a participant in virtual reality during the game. The third and also important aspect of the features that attract players is an interesting development story, which we will just tell you further. The company was founded in 1996 and has since recruited 900 employees in seven corners of the world. We mean that Netent is also highly valued for the opportunity to hire for a good position, as every manager of the company tries to support the spirit of their employees, as well as their talented unique qualities. Since the beginning of its existence, Netent has recommended itself as a true brand with a leading position. Confirmation of entering such a high peak of Fame is also the large number of awards and titles received, which increases every year. The developer has received such awards as ERG Awards, iGA Awards, WIG Awards, Global Gaming Awards. For three years in a row, the company has been recognized as a leader among innovative operators of online slot games, including those deployed on mobile platforms.
From the history of Netent development, we know exactly that it was not immediately possible to achieve great success and quickly gain the trust of players. It took many years, probably six, to create a module for the first online casino. Subsequently, Net Entertainment began to sell its products to other operators, which is why Netent's profits quickly grew. As early as 2004, the company cooperated with many foreign customers. After receiving a Maltese license in 2009, the company's shares were listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Gradually, the value of Netent's shares began to increase and soon increased by 22 times. In 2011, Netent managed to design the first game for mobile platforms, which was presented in Italy. In addition to the Italian market, the company continues to expand its operations in countries such as Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and Spain. Also, Netent is entering into more and more contracts with the largest operators of online casinos. Well, at the end of 2004, the company managed to collect shares worth 1 billion euros, but this was not the end. In the latest report, the company showed the following financial results: revenue continues to grow by 32%, operating profit also increased by 54.3%, operating margin increased to 34.6%, and Profit after Tax reached 27.4 million euros. Also, according to the latest statistics, the company managed to sign about 29 licensing agreements for the quarter and establish cooperation with 21 new online casinos.

Competition for the best: Netent or Microgaming?
Milan Rabszski admitted that there are actually two companies in the world of online casinos – the first of them is Netent, which occupies the first place, the second company is Microgaming Software. Microgaming Software has focused on minimalism from the very beginning of its career. The boundaries between them are so narrow that even our expert is difficult to choose any one manufacturer. Either way the differences between them are and probably precisely because of these differences Microgaming Software is so far behind and successfully defends its second place. Microgaming is all about minimalism. It's about simple games that are made in FLASH technology. Of course, simplicity will always be appreciated, but compared to Netent, there is nothing new in Microgaming games, such as attractive bonuses. However, we will find out about Netent's offers further, because they are really unusual.

TOP 5 slots from Netent in United Kingdom
The selection of slot games at Netent is really huge and popular, however, among such an extensive offer, some slots are often chosen, and some are not. In our ranking of slot machines from Netent appeared exactly those machines that are most often chosen by South African players. The following is a brief description:
First up is Gonzo's Quest. The attraction of this entertainment from 2011 is associated primarily with the main character, the Spanish explorer Gonzo. In this slot he went in search of the Lost City of El Dorado and treasures. Who doesn't love treasures? He collects them on 20 lines, 4 reels and 3 rows.

The frequency of winning is also influenced by the percentage of RTP, which in this game is 96.06%, and the board itself is a classic (5-3). A special feature is Win Both Ways, that is, the ability to receive a win from both the left and the right side. Respins are also available in the game.
Another popular slot is Finn's Golden Tavern, which received fourth place from us. In this game, we also have the explorer of the taverns and the seeker of the pots with $ otem – Leprechaun Finn.
