NetEnt's best-known games
- Starburst (2012): a 5×3 slot with 10 lines that pay both ways and expanding wilds that trigger up to three respins. RTP 96.09%, low volatility, 500x max win. One of the most-played slots of all time and a favourite for free spins offers. Read the review.
- Gonzo's Quest (2011): the slot that popularised falling "Avalanche" reels, with multipliers of 1x–5x in the base game and 3x–15x in Free Falls. RTP 95.97% (some sources quote 96.00%), medium volatility, 2,500x.
- Dead or Alive 2 (2019): a high-volatility Western with sticky wilds and three free spins modes (Old Saloon, Train Heist and High Noon). RTP 96.80% per NetEnt. NetEnt lists a 1,600x max win, while reviews quote far more in the High Noon mode.
- Twin Spin (2013): 243 ways with linked Twin Reels that can grow to five identical reels. RTP 96.55% per NetEnt.
- Divine Fortune (2017): a standalone progressive jackpot with falling wilds and a jackpot bonus game. RTP 96.59% in the default version, one of the highest among progressive slots.
- Hotline (2018): a neon Miami-style slot with Hotlines that add extra paying lines and expanding wilds. RTP 96.95%, one of the highest in our catalogue.
Highest RTP NetEnt slots
From our catalogue, in default versions:
- Hotline: 96.95% (SlotCatalog lists 97.04%).
- Dead or Alive 2: 96.80%.
- Divine Fortune: 96.59%.
- Twin Spin: 96.55%.
- Starburst: 96.09%.
- Gonzo's Quest: 95.97%.
NetEnt also offers lower RTP configurations for some games; check the rules at your casino. See high RTP slots.
NetEnt volatility
NetEnt's classics cover the whole range:
- Low: Starburst, the go-to choice for small budgets and wagering.
- Medium: Gonzo's Quest, Twin Spin, Hotline and Divine Fortune.
- High: Dead or Alive 2.
That mix is why NetEnt games are so often used in free spins bonuses: a low-volatility game like Starburst gives most players something back from their spins.
NetEnt and Evolution
Evolution bought NetEnt in 2020, along with its subsidiary Red Tiger. NetEnt kept its brand and continues to release slots, while Evolution added Big Time Gaming (2021) and Nolimit City (2022) to the same group. For players, the main effect is that NetEnt games often appear next to Evolution's live tables in casino lobbies. See Evolution.
NetEnt features that became standards
- Avalanche reels (Gonzo's Quest): winning symbols disappear and new ones fall in, a mechanic now used across the industry as tumbles or cascades.
- Both-ways pays (Starburst): lines pay from left to right and right to left.
- Linked reels (Twin Spin): identical reels that join and expand.
- Sticky wilds in free spins (Dead or Alive): wilds that stay for the rest of the round.

NetEnt in Ontario and Alberta
Registered Ontario and Alberta sites carry NetEnt titles certified for their market. The classic titles are among the most widely available slots in Canada. See Ontario online casinos and Alberta online casinos.
NetEnt jackpots
NetEnt is also known for jackpot slots. Divine Fortune is a standalone progressive with three jackpot tiers, and Mega Fortune is NetEnt's long-running networked jackpot, famous for some of the largest online slot wins. Jackpot games may be excluded from bonus wagering; check the terms. See progressive jackpots.
NetEnt demos
Most NetEnt slots offer a free demo at casinos; the maths is the same as the real game. See free slots.
How to choose a NetEnt slot
- Small budget or bonus wagering: Starburst.
- Balanced play with a classic feature: Gonzo's Quest or Twin Spin.
- Highest RTP: Hotline.
- Jackpot chance: Divine Fortune.
- Big swings: Dead or Alive 2, especially the High Noon free spins.
NetEnt vs Pragmatic Play
| NetEnt | Pragmatic Play | |
|---|---|---|
| Era of hits | 2011–2019 classics | 2019 onward |
| Typical volatility | Low to medium | High |
| Bonus buy | Rare (Dead or Alive 2 has a free spins buy) | Common |
| Default RTPs | Often 96–97% | Often 96.5% |
NetEnt suits players who want steadier games with clear features; Pragmatic suits players who want big multipliers and bonus buys.
Is NetEnt available in Canada?
Yes. NetEnt is one of the most widely distributed slot brands, at registered Ontario and Alberta sites, provincial sites and offshore casinos. Some casinos have dropped individual older titles, so search for the game you want.
NetEnt and bonuses
Starburst and Gonzo's Quest are among the most common slots for free spins offers, often with low wagering. Some high-RTP NetEnt games such as Hotline or Dead or Alive 2 may be excluded from wagering; read the terms. See wagering requirements.
NetEnt on mobile
NetEnt converted its classics to HTML5 under the "Touch" label, so they run in mobile browsers and casino apps. See casino apps.
NetEnt slots list: series and themes
NetEnt's catalogue is large; these are the series and themes most players look for:
- Starburst family: Starburst and its later spin-offs, all built around expanding wild respins.
- Gonzo's Quest family: the original Avalanche slot and its Megaways version.
- Dead or Alive: the original Dead or Alive and the sequel Dead or Alive 2, both Westerns with sticky wilds.
- Branded slots: NetEnt has made many slots based on films, music and TV, several of which are now retired.
- Jackpots: Divine Fortune and Mega Fortune.
- Classic features: Twin Spin, Hotline and Blood Suckers, an old favourite known for its high RTP.
Older titles are sometimes withdrawn from regulated markets or individual casinos, so check the lobby.
Why NetEnt slots are good for bonuses
Three things make NetEnt classics popular for bonus play:
- Lower volatility in titles like Starburst, so a bonus balance lasts longer.
- Above-average RTPs in many titles.
- Wide availability, so free spins offers often use them.
The flip side: high-RTP NetEnt games are sometimes on the excluded list for wagering. Always check before you play a bonus balance on them.
NetEnt tips
- Use Starburst for small budgets and long sessions.
- Play Gonzo's Quest if you want a classic feature with more upside.
- Save Dead or Alive 2 for a larger budget: its High Noon free spins are where the big wins are, and they are rare.
- Check the RTP version in each game's rules at your casino.
