NetEnt (Net Entertainment) was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1996 — making it one of the oldest continuously operating online casino software companies. The company defined the video slot category with Starburst (2012), still the world's most widely distributed online slot by operator count, and introduced the branded slot genre with Guns N' Roses (2016), Jimi Hendrix, and Motorhead. NetEnt's live casino division created immersive multi-camera studio environments before its acquisition by Evolution Gaming in 2020 for SEK 19.6 billion. Post-acquisition, NetEnt operates as a studio division within Evolution, continuing to release new slot titles under the NetEnt brand. Other landmark NetEnt titles include Gonzo's Quest (2010), Dead or Alive 2 (2019), and Divine Fortune.
