NetEnt has “shaped the online video slot experience” since 1996, according to Evolution, which completed its acquisition of the studio on 1 December 2020.

Evolution credits NetEnt with some of the first modern slot mechanics — two-way paylines, respins and expanding wilds — and with the Avalanche™ cascades first seen in Gonzo’s Quest. Its awards include Slot Supplier of the Year at the EGR B2B Awards 2019.
