NetEnt has a long, rich, and eventful history. Their success story confirms why they're among the best in the industry. In 1963, the now NetEnt was founded as AB Restaurang Rouletter by Rolf Lundstrom and Bill Lindwall.
A partnership was formed five years later, in 1968, with Spelautomater and AB Roulett Konsult. The two founders were Lars Kling and Per Hamberg. The company soon reached national status and renamed itself Cherry in 1972. In the end, the blood-red cherry logo became a well-known brand.
After a few decades of growth and development, NetEnt was launched in 1996 by Ponts Lindwall, the founder's son. It is still referred to and respected as the pioneer of online gaming that took off soon after its launch. It successfully launched its first online casino in 2000.
After a company starburst in 2007, NetEnt listed on the NGM Equity and shortly after moved up to the Stockholm Stock Exchange's main list in 2009. If you still think that you don't know who NetEnt is, all you need to hear is Gonzo's Quest. This was one of the first major successful video slots released in 2010.
Soon after launching this video slot, which still has millions of fans today, NetEnt received their Category 2 gambling license in Alderney. In 2011, the provider entered the mobile casino games market, and the rest, as they say, is history.
NetEnt remains one of the most sought-after software platforms for new online casinos. Even if alternative developers power the platform, you'll still find NetEnt games in the games collection. NetEnt has not stopped developing new products. They are present in some of the most remote regions, serving players globally.
Their last big acquisition was in 2019 when they purchased the well-known Red Tiger Gaming brand for a whopping £200 million.
