Top 5 RTP NetEnt slots for 2021
Net Entertainment was one of the earliest software studios to enter the online market and develop casino slots; today, the company is known as NetEnt.
NetEnt entered the online market around the same time as Microgaming. For a while, NetEnt and Microgaming were the only providers of online table games and slots. NetEnt later acquired Red Tiger Gaming and eventually came under Evolution, its current owner. The acquisition did not stop NetEnt from releasing casino titles or maintaining its established catalogue.
We revisit the Top 5 RTP NetEnt slots for 2021 and the games ranked for their theoretical returns. RTP figures represent long-run averages; they cannot guarantee big wins or predict the outcome of a particular session.
Mega Joker (99% RTP)
Mega Joker stands out in this selection: the review calls it NetEnt’s highest-RTP slot and says it led the wider iGaming scene, too. This classic video slot packs 2 games into one. The lower slot has 3x3 reels and 5 pay lines; the upper, higher-tier slot also features 3x3 reels and 5 pay lines.
The game takes inspiration from a British pub fruit machine, with familiar fruit icons and payout values displayed on the cabinet. It also features a large progressive jackpot that may trigger at any time, plus 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’ and 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 first game’s. The original Bloodsuckers slot became one of NetEnt’s best-known titles, leading to a sequel. The article says many players who moved to version 2 went back to the original, citing its 98% RTP.
This 5x3 game has 25 pay lines and brings back classic wilds, which can form winning combinations or substitute for other symbols. Bloodsuckers also has 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 the gameplay.
Jack Hammer 2: Fishy Business (97.07% RTP)
Jack Hammer 2 turns a comic-book crime caper into a retro video slot, with Jack Hammer as its hero. This sequel is part of one of NetEnt’s most popular 2-part slot series. The original Jack Hammer remains popular and has a high RTP of 96.96%; the sequel’s theoretical RTP is listed at 97.07%.
Reel features include wilds, sticky wilds and a free-spins round that doubles wins from combinations. The game has 5x3 reels, and the review gives a minimum-to-maximum stake of 0.50 – 25.00 when playing all 99 pay lines.
Jack Hammer 2 is described as a low-variance slot, with wins coming regularly, 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 tale in a town where outlaws and lawmen face off, backed by detailed graphics and animation. Dead or Alive 2 followed, but its high variance may mean a wait for the bonus free-spins round, which the review links to large wins. NetEnt then released ‘Dead or Alive 2 Feature Buy’, the series’ 3rd entry, with 5x3 reels and 9 pay lines.
Players can skip the wait for scatters by buying entry to the feature for 600 coins at the bet level. The reels return 32 coins as they spin in 3 scatters. Players 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 from 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 many of the world’s toughest horse-racing tracks. The article notes that he is recognized 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 the top-paying symbol—awarding 100x the spin bet for 5 on a pay line—and a wild. The ‘Peter’s Classic Cup’ scatter starts 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 from 0.10 to 100.00 per spin. The review describes its gameplay as high variance.
