NetEnt, the leading digital entertainment company that provides online gaming solutions to the world’s most successful casino operators, is transporting players back to the ’80s with its slot, Neon Staxx.

This new release, built in HTML5, is a 5-reel, 4-row video slot with 40 fixed bet lines. It includes the SuperStaxx feature, giving players the chance to revel in massive stacks of symbols each time they spin the reels.

Demo:

Neon Staxx has been created with a mobile first mind set ensuring that players have the same superb Staxx wherever they play.

It has 8 regular paying symbols, with extra pay-outs on wilds and the chance to win up to 20 Free Spins, where the random stacked symbol will always be a high paying "Predator Symbol" or a Wild.

A synthesizer inspired sound-track puts the finishing touches on this retro instalment.

Simon Hammon, Chief Product Officer of NetEnt, comments: "Neon Staxx is packed with glistening visuals that are brought to life by a memorable synth soundtrack. Whether playing at home or on-the-go, players will enjoy the same high-quality experience of 80s retro in their search for big wins."

Net Entertainment, the world’s leading provider of high-quality online casino games, launches its latest branded slot Aliens™ for desktop and Touch™ portfolio.

Hatched from the cult sci-fi horror franchise, using innovative real-time 3D graphics, Aliens™ plunges players deep into space on a mission to shoot through waves of attacks in infested premises to reach the Queen Hive.

There are three thrilling levels to survive that feature re-spins, wild substitutions, collectable multipliers and a huge bonus win for eliminating the Queen to keep players battling to the gory end.

The Search, The Encounter and The Hive make up the three stages and each one passed sets the scene for potentially huge wins. If the Queen is eliminated and the Hive destroyed then a 240 x bet is the ultimate reward.

A first-hand view from the Marine’s helmet camera means players are completely submersed into the action and the stunning soundtrack attributes to the high intensity and tension that makes this offering the ultimate gaming experience.

This 5-reel, 3-row, 15-line video slot joins Net Entertainment’s standout branded content portfolio that features Creature from the Black Lagoon™, South Park™, Scarface™ and Frankenstein™

"Following on from the successful AliensTM unveiling at ICE, it’s a pleasure to announce players can now enjoy this epic game on desktop and mobile. Real-time 3D graphics and rich sound help deliver a truly innovative slot that continues our mission to drive the online casino market through better games," comments Simon Hammon, Chief Product Officer at Net Entertainment.

Hall of Gods™, the popular online slot game from Net Entertainment, on April 20 paid out yet another life-changing online jackpot, the fourth million euro win in recent years for Hall of Gods™. This time the jackpot amounted to 6.7 MEUR and the lucky Swedish winner, a man in his sixties from the town of Norrköping, staked 2 EUR in the game Hall Of Gods™ at the Malta-based operator Betsson.

This Betsson-jackpot is the third biggest in their history, one being the 2011 Guinness World Record Jackpot of 11.7 MEUR from Net Entertainment’s video slot Mega Fortune™. The next largest was landed last summer when a man from Linköping won 3.12 MEUR in Mega Fortune™ with a 2 EUR stake.

Hall of Gods™ is a progressive jackpot and part of Net Entertainment’s jackpot network, where the liquidity from players from many of the most popular European online casinos is pooled. In Hall of Gods™ players come face-to-face with Norse mythology in a 5-reel Triple Jackpot featuring the Midgard Serpent in the expanding wild, and Odin’s ravens on the scatter symbol. The bonus game features Thor’s hammer which players can use to break shields and match three to win one of the three jackpots or a variable coin amount.

Although this latest win didn’t break January’s World Record Jackpot of 17.8 MEUR from Net Entertainment’s video slot, Mega Fortune™ it is another huge return for the winner.

"Announcing yet another million euro winner so soon after the World Record Jackpot in January is a great testament to our games and continues our history of creating millionaires from our popular progressive video slots. Net Entertainment’s ability to offer high liquidity in our progressive slots sets us out from the crowd and helps player acquisition for operators through the ability to quickly build up jackpots. Net Entertainment would like to wish the winner all the best and congratulate Betsson for another life-changing win." comments Per Eriksson, President and CEO of Net Entertainment.

Net Entertainment’s progressive jackpot portfolios consist of Arabian Nights™, Mega Fortune™ and Halls of Gods™ video slots, all part of the Net Entertainment jackpot network, pooling the liquidity of players from several of Europe’s largest online casinos.

I have always been a huge fan of Net Entertainment games; this product is used by many UK/European-facing online casinos, and you may even recognise some games names: Jack and The Beanstalk™, Gonzo’s Quest™, Muse: Wild Inspiration™, Demolition Squad™, Zombies™, Blood Suckers™, Hall Of Gods™, Jack Hammer™, Wild Turkey™, Scarface™ and so many more. These games are of such a high quality it is my personal opinion that they outstrip the quality of Microgaming products.

This online gambling development software company has produced excellent results for 2012, and have even been named as the 22nd top employer in Sweden. Yes, they are a Swedish company, listed on the Swedish Stock Exchange, but operate with a remote license out of Malta. They therefore feature together with some of the biggest, and best names in online casinos available to a UK-facing, and European audience.

The operational excellence of this company for the year 2012, only serves to take me back to the days when I used to say "Microgaming had better watch out". The company is growing stronger by the year, and although are not as aggressively producing "mass quantities" of online casino games at the same rate as Microgaming, they produce them with the same if not far better quality.

New (2012) performance records have been set by Net Entertainment, with 12,300,000,000 gaming transactions in total, a 23% increase in revenues (year on year), and since the year 2006 – a median twelve-monthly growth of 32%. They have increased their European market-share to 27%, and the gaming transactions figures we see above, represent an increase of 43%.

NetEnt continues to enter new markets (Italy and Denmark are new), sign more new gaming partners, and has paid out a record breaking Progressive Jackpot Prize amount of over €17 million. In all honesty, what online gambler would not like to play at a site with PJP gaming network potential such as this?

This year, massive online gambling brands have been seen to be offering NetEnt slots, and if they are not, I don’t want to play there. Paddy Power recently joined the fold as did Boyles Sport. They are already found at Unibet, Smart-Live, Bettsson, BetVictor and many, many more. The group says that they are properly geared for opening in newly regulated territories, and it is here they intend to be "in the right place, at the right time".

I still believe that Microgaming has a tough fight on its hands from NetEnt. This brand has signed an agreement with 888 which has its own software development company( what’s that about?) And have also inked a deal with Bonza Gaming for Facebook.

Anyone want to take a bet which developer will come out on top?

Net Entertainment, the world’s leading provider of high-quality casino games, announces the release of its latest video slot, Disco Spins™.

Disco Spins™, which has 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed bet lines, is set inside a night club with the reels and background acting as a dance floor that lights up with strobe lights.

The Wild symbols appear on the reels when the colour of the Disco Dancer symbol matches the colour of the dance floor tile they appear on. As many as eight Wild symbols can appear at the same time offering players an amazing opportunity for big wins. This Wild symbols feature is integral to the game play and makes it an incredibly enjoyable gaming experience.

Net Entertainment’s newest offering operates two different Free Spins modes, a regular Free Spins and a Disco Spins version. If 3 Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels in the main game, the players have the opportunity to choose between the two modes.

"We are delighted with the Disco Spins™ slots game and it’s the perfect addition to our portfolio," comments Per Eriksson, President and CEO of Net Entertainment. "Having two alternative Free Spins modes gives the offering a new twist and it allows us to continue driving the online casino market through better games."
