Top 5 RTP NetEnt slots for 2021
Net Entertainment was among the first software studios to launch online and create casino slots. The company is now known simply as NetEnt.
NetEnt entered the online market around the same time as Microgaming, and for a while NetEnt and Microgaming were the only providers of online table games and slots. NetEnt later acquired Red Tiger Gaming, then became part of Evolution, its current owner. The acquisition did not halt NetEnt’s releases: it continued creating casino titles while maintaining its established catalogue.
Here, we revisit the Top 5 RTP NetEnt slots for 2021, exploring the games ranked for theoretical returns in the article. RTP figures represent long-term averages; they cannot guarantee big wins or predict the outcome of a single session.
Mega Joker (99% RTP)
Mega Joker stands out: the review calls it NetEnt’s highest-RTP slot and says it also led the wider iGaming scene. This classic video slot offers 2 games in one. The lower slot has 3x3 reels and 5 pay lines, while the upper, higher-tier slot also features 3x3 reels and 5 pay lines.
The design recalls a British pub fruit machine, with familiar fruit icons and payout values displayed on the cabinet. Features also include a large progressive jackpot that can trigger at any time, mystery wins and chest features.
The 99% RTP applies to the upper reels. After a win, players choose whether to collect the payout or enter ‘Supermeter Mode’ to play the higher reels, where potential payouts are larger.
Bloodsuckers (98% RTP)
Bloodsuckers 2 was available by the time of the review, but its RTP was lower than the original’s. The original Bloodsuckers slot became one of NetEnt’s best-known titles, inspiring a sequel. The article says many players who moved to version 2 went back to the original, pointing to its 98% RTP.
This 5x3 game has 25 pay lines and brings back classic wilds, which can create winning combinations or substitute for other symbols. Bloodsuckers also features 2 scatter symbols: the familiar bonus scatter starts a ‘Vampire Slaying Bonus’ pick-me game, while the other awards 10 free spins.
The stated stake range is 0.25 to 12.50 per spin. The review describes the slot as affordable and low variance, with regular wins as part of its gameplay.
Jack Hammer 2: Fishy Business (97.07% RTP)
Jack Hammer 2 takes its comic-book crime caper and central hero, Jack Hammer, into a retro video slot. The sequel belongs to one of NetEnt’s most popular 2-part slot series. The original remains widely played and has an RTP of 96.96%; the sequel’s listed theoretical RTP is higher, at 97.07%.
Its features include wilds, sticky wilds and a free-spins round that doubles combination wins. The game uses 5x3 reels, and the review lists stakes from 0.50 – 25.00 when playing all 99 pay lines.
Jack Hammer 2 is described as a low-variance slot with regular wins, much like the original crime-fighting game.
Dead or Alive 2 Feature Buy (96.82% RTP)
Dead or Alive has long been one of NetEnt’s most-played series. The first game set its Western story in a town where outlaws and lawmen clash, brought to life with detailed graphics and animation. Dead or Alive 2 came next, but its high variance can mean a wait for the bonus free-spins round, which the review links to big wins. NetEnt then released ‘Dead or Alive 2 Feature Buy’, the series’ 3rd instalment, featuring 5x3 reels and 9 pay lines.
To avoid waiting for scatters, players can buy feature entry for 600 coins at the bet level. 32 coins are returned as the reels spin in 3 scatters. Players can then choose Train Heist, Old Saloon or High Noon Saloon for free spins, with low, medium and high variance respectively. Regular spins are also available, with stakes of 0.09 to 9.00 per spin.
Scudamore's Super Stakes (96.99% RTP)
This NetEnt slot celebrates jockey Peter Scudamore and his wins at some of the world’s toughest horse-racing tracks. The article notes that he is regarded as a racing legend in the UK and Ireland, even by people who do not follow the sport.
Released in 2019, Scudamore's Super Stakes is described as a hit at NetEnt casinos. Scudamore wild is both a wild and the top-paying symbol, awarding 100x the spin bet for 5 on a pay line. The ‘Peter’s Classic Cup’ scatter launches an animated bonus: choose a horse to add to the bet slip, then watch a virtual race like one shown on an online sportsbook.
The game uses 5x3 reels and 20 pay lines, with stakes of 0.10 to 100.00 per spin. The review describes the gameplay as high variance.
In Summary: Top 5 RTP NetEnt Slots for 2021
The article says newer NetEnt slots generally have theoretical RTP figures between 95.5% and 96.5%. Its selection focuses on titles added to the portfolio over the previous 5 years, which it describes as popular for their RTP and gameplay.
