NETENT Review

About NetEnt

NetEnt is one of the most established B2B online slots studios in the industry, supplying casino content to operators worldwide. It was founded in 1996 in Stockholm, Sweden, originating from the Scandinavian land based operator Cherry, and it spent more than two decades as an independent listed company before being acquired by Evolution in December 2020. It now operates as a brand within the Evolution group, continuing to develop slot content while drawing on Evolution's wider platform and distribution. With nearly three decades behind it, it is one of the longest established studios in this directory. Its name carries weight with operators, which is part of what made it a notable acquisition for Evolution.

From Cherry to Evolution

NetEnt traces its origins to Cherry, a Scandinavian land based gaming operator, and it became a pioneer of online slot content through the 2000s and 2010s as a standalone, publicly listed business. In December 2020 it was acquired by Evolution, the listed live casino group, which folded NetEnt and its sister brands into a larger content and technology organisation. Since then NetEnt has continued under its own name as part of Evolution, with its slot content delivered through the group's systems and its commercial reach extended by the parent.

Regulatory Footing

NetEnt is licensed across major regulated markets, holding approvals from the MGA and the UK Gambling Commission among many others, in keeping with its long history of supplying regulated operators. Its slot content runs on a certified random number generator and is built on a mobile first HTML5 engine, with the independent testing that regulators require. That extensive regulatory coverage, accumulated over decades and now backed by Evolution, is one of the reasons it remains a default studio for operators in licensed markets.

Delivery and Integration

Since the Evolution acquisition, NetEnt's content has been integrated and delivered through Evolution's backend systems, giving operators access to its slots alongside the wider group catalogue. Casinos across regulated markets worldwide carry its content, reaching it through the group's distribution rather than only through standalone NetEnt deals. As a studio within Evolution it stays firmly on the supply side, with its slots licensed to the operators that run them while those operators keep the player relationships and the regulatory licences. For operators, NetEnt remains one of the most recognised studio brands, and being inside Evolution has kept its long catalogue available through a single, widely used integration.
