NetEnt slots, free to play

NetEnt helped define what an online slot looks like. The Swedish studio’s games are known for crisp animation, clever but readable features and soundtracks that stay in your head a little too long. The selection here mixes evergreen titles with film and TV adaptations and festive editions. Every NetEnt demo slot on this page opens with 1,000 virtual credits, without an account or a download.

Starburst and the expanding wild

Star Burst, better known as Starburst, is about as famous as a slot gets. Its ten lines pay both ways, from left to right and right to left, and the colourful wild only lands on the three middle reels. When it does, it expands to fill the whole reel and holds in place for a respin; another wild during that respin expands and triggers a further one. There are no free spins, so the game lives on that respin loop and on the both-ways wins. It is a good benchmark: once you know how Starburst feels, you can compare almost anything against it.

Fruit, flowers and respins

Fruit Shop takes the classic fruit machine and adds a twist: winning combinations of fruit award free spins, and wins during those free spins are doubled. Fruit Shop Christmas puts the same idea under the tree. Flowers and Flowers Christmas use double symbols that count as two of a kind, making long combinations easier to land. Reel Rush 2 starts with a small grid and unlocks extra positions with each consecutive win in a respin sequence, so a good chain opens the reels up. Dazzle Me is a bright gem slot built around wild reels.

Screen adaptations and themed slots

NetEnt has produced several slots based on films and series. Jumanji brings the board game to the reels, Narcos follows the Colombian drama, Vikings and Creature From The Black Lagoon draw on their own sources. Beyond the adaptations, Space Wars, Go Bananas, Wild Water, Lights, Magic Portals, Fortune Rangers, Golden Grimoire, Wings Of Riches, The Wolfs Bane and Halloween Jack cover a wide spread of themes, and Santa vs Rudolph is ready for December.

How to test NetEnt games in demo

• In Starburst, count how often a wild leads to a second respin. It shows how the game generates its bigger moments.
• In Fruit Shop, note how many free spins you collect from ordinary fruit wins over 100 spins.
• In Reel Rush 2, watch how far the grid usually opens before a sequence ends.
