The Latest Online Slot Machines from NetEnt

NetEnt has also released a number of new online slots games this year. We will list them for you below and discuss whether they are worth it or not. But before we show you these new online slots games, let’s take a closer look at the developer. What are the advantages of NetEnt slots? What makes this developer so attractive to visitors of online casinos?

Highlights of this article

Below is a summary of what will be discussed in this article:

The advantages of NetEnt slots

In the field of online slots, the range of offers is great. That’s why it’s all the more impressive that a developer like NetEnt has managed to remain one of the most popular developers for many years. Of course, this feat is not quite so simple. NetEnt online slots have a number of features that give them an edge over competitors’ slots. First of all, your odds of winning at NetEnt slots are on average better than those of other developers. NetEnt slots have a higher payout percentage and a lower house edge. On average, the payout rate is between 96% and 99%, which corresponds to a house advantage of 1% to 4%.

Wide range of casino games

In addition, NetEnt stands out because of their wide range of online slots. For example, there are many different types of themes, and slot machines can also differ from each other in terms of gameplay mechanics. Variation is a key characteristic reflected throughout their entire selection as (video) slot machines are not the only casino games they offer. Within their selection, you will also find online gaming tables for Blackjack, Roulette and Punto Banco.

Another advantage of NetEnt’s slot machines is that they are available at free online casinos. So you can practice and get used to the gameplay before you start playing “for real”. In addition, the software developed by NetEnt is also suitable for mobile use. You can play online casino games 24/7 on your smartphone wherever you are.

Fantastic playing experience

Finally, NetEnt is an experienced developer who knows exactly what online casino enthusiasts want. They know better than anyone how to create a playing experience that is unique every time. Whichever slot machine you choose, there’s a good chance you’ll have a lot of fun every time. It is for good reason that NetEnt has been a popular software developer for over 20 years. How will their newest online slot machines fare? We’ll discuss this below.

New NetEnt Slots

Every year, NetEnt releases a number of new online slots games. Until now, these have been popular with gamblers every year, but the question here is: will that happen again this year? Below we list some of their latest releases for you. The main features of these online slots games are discussed as well as whether we think this slot game is worth it or not. Of course, it’s up to you to give it a try as everyone has their own preferences when it comes to online slots.

Wilderland

The first thing that strikes you about Wilderland is the beautifully designed theme of this video slot machine. Wilderland takes place in a fantasy setting strongly reminiscent of a combination of Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and The Witcher. With a payout percentage of 96.16% (a house advantage of 3.84%), the chance that fairy tales can also take place in real life is substantial. In total there are 20 winlines on which you can bet a minimum of 20 eurocents and a maximum of 400 euros.

The variance is low to medium which means that the risk is low but that the prizes to be won will also be lower than with an online slot machine with a high variance. You won’t be able to earn any real hits here. It’s the classic consideration that users have to make: do I go for a higher chance of winning? Or do I go for the big hit?

You don’t have to play Wilderland for the prizes, but, with a bit of luck, you can earn a reasonable amount of money from this game. The hit frequency is almost 40% which is particularly high compared to other video slots. However, the low prices mean that you won’t be easily impressed when you actually win something or when you get bonuses. The real feeling of a great victory is missing. That’s also the problem with Wilderland; the slot machine looks fantastic, but, in terms of gameplay, this new issue is a bit disappointing. Low prices, boosters and bonuses don’t give you much. The variance is just too low to give you any real excitement. Nevertheless, we recommend that you experience it for yourself as it is quite possible that you will have a lot of fun with this online slot machine.

Secret of the Stones MAX

Remakes are everywhere these days. Films are often being remade such as, for example, the famous Disney remakes that are converted from animation to live action.  Several games have also been re-released and graphically given a new coat of paint, so to speak. The remake trend has also reached the developers of online casino games. For example, there is the MAX series from NetEnt in which several well-known and beloved online slot machines are being re-released in an improved form. One of the recently released remakes is Secret of the Stones MAX.

The nice thing about Secret of the Stones MAX is that you can choose between the old and the new versions. So, if you prefer the old version, you can keep playing it. The main difference between the two versions is the variance; it is much higher in the MAX release. The risk is higher, but you have a chance of much higher prices. Whereas with the old version you could win up to 2,500 times your bet, you can earn 25,000 times your bet back with Secret of the Stones MAX.

For this, at least 25 cents must be wagered, a maximum of 125 euros. There is a total of 25 winlines. In addition, it is noticeable that the payout percentage is higher with the MAX version: 96.81%, or a house advantage of 3.19%. Finally, there is also beautifully designed mythological setting. This remake of an old classic is definitely worthwhile.

Rise of Maya

Rise of Maya is a video slot with an enjoyable Mayan theme. The Mayan population is a popular theme that has been used more often in several other online casino slots games. Still, the flair of NetEnt makes this game look fantastic graphically, so that this oft-used theme gets a new twist. Rise of Maya is a slot with an average variance. The risk you run is neither high nor low while the prices you can win are relatively attractive. This way you can win up to 2,500 times your bet. If you take advantage of the bonus bet, this can be as much as 5,000 times your bet.

In total there are 10 winlines on which you can bet a minimum of 10 eurocents and a maximum of 200 euros. In addition to the standard and premium symbols, which are related to the Mayan civilization, there are also a number of wild symbols. You can think of these as a kind of jokers. For example, if you have four reindeer masks plus a game symbol, this is actually equal to five reindeer masks. There are also scatter symbols available which can give you an attractive bonus.

The most attractive bonus, and also the most unique feature of this slot is the Second Chance feature. Two scatters give you a re-spin which is an extra chance to get the bonus. Of course, this is mainly a ploy to make sure you keep betting, but it does provide Rise of Maya with a lot of excitement. That makes this slot one of the nicer new additions to NetEnt’s wide range of products.

Gold Money Frog

Gold Money Frog is a remake of the Super Money Frog online slot machine from NetEnt. The biggest difference lies in the graphics. Gold Money Frog comes with an Asian theme. Whether this is enough to make this progressive jackpot slot machine interesting remains to be seen. Although such an ever-increasing jackpot sounds very attractive, this online slot machine itself is, unfortunately, a lot less fun to play. There are 25 winlines on which you can bet a minimum of 25 cents and a maximum of 50 cents. Of these, 8% contribute to the jackpot.

Although the Gold Money Frog has a low variance, the prizes you can win are nothing to brag about. The payout percentage is therefore between 92% and 93%, which means a house advantage of 7% to 8%. This is very high for an online slot machine. The more you bet, the greater chance you have of winning the biggest jackpot. However, the chances of winning a progressive jackpot are slim. In addition, the gameplay does not run as smoothly as in the aforementioned online slots, and the bonuses are not interesting enough to continue to play. All in all, this is by far the least enticing release of the four new online slots games listed in this article.

Conclusion

NetEnt has once again managed to release a number of interesting new online slots games. Although we are a bit fonder of one slot over the other, we still think that a lot of gambling fans will enjoy these new releases. Two of them stand out the most: Secret of the Stones MAX and Rise of Maya. The gameplay in these slots is not only the most fluid and entertaining, but these two video slots also keep the excitement high. Wilderland, on the other hand, is a slot machine with fantastic graphics, but the gameplay is a bit disappointing. Finally, there’s Gold Money Frog, and let’s be honest about it: this is one of the more inferior releases of NetEnt in years.
