About NetEnt
NetEnt (Net Entertainment) is one of the most respected and influential names in the online slot industry. Founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996, the company has spent nearly three decades building a reputation for premium production quality, innovative game mechanics, and consistently high return-to-player percentages. NetEnt is widely credited with inventing the Avalanche (cascading reels) mechanic in Gonzo’s Quest, a feature that has since been adopted by dozens of other providers and become a staple of modern slot design.
The NetEnt portfolio includes some of the most iconic slot titles ever created. Starburst remains the most-played online slot in the world more than a decade after its release, while Dead or Alive 2 is legendary among high-volatility enthusiasts for its maximum win potential of 111,111x. Mega Fortune holds the Guinness World Record for the largest online jackpot payout, and Divine Fortune is one of the most frequently hit progressive jackpot games in the industry. NetEnt’s commitment to quality over quantity means every title in their catalogue receives cinema-grade visual and audio treatment.
In 2020, NetEnt was acquired by Evolution Group, the world’s leading live casino provider. This acquisition combined NetEnt’s slot expertise with Evolution’s live dealer dominance, creating the largest B2B supplier in the online casino industry. For Malaysian players at Maxim88, this means access to NetEnt’s full slot library alongside NetEnt Live casino tables — all through a single, seamless platform optimised for mobile play through the NetEnt Touch platform.
