A new agreement will see NetEnt games launched with Tipico, as they make a move into the regulated market in New Jersey.

As Tipico, the Germany-based global sportsbook operator, makes a move into the regulated market in New Jersey, NetEnt and Tipico have entered an agreement that will see NetEnt games launched on day one. A selection of NetEnt’s acclaimed portfolio of video slots and table games, like Divine Fortune, will be available to Tipico players. As part of the deal Tipico can also enjoy NetEnt’s marketing tools, like Free Spins, to help grow their business.

“We are happy that Tipico has chosen NetEnt to be one of their first content providers as they begin their US journey. I’m looking forward to having our games in front of players and working with Tipico to grow their business in the US,” says Brian Kraft, Vice President Commercial of NetEnt Americas LLC.

“We are excited to begin our partnership with NetEnt as we kick-off our expansion into the US,” said Adrian Vella, Managing Director, U.S. Business, Tipico. “With a proven track record in the regulated New Jersey market and their well-known catalogue of branded games, we’re confident that our customers will love NetEnt’s offering.”

NetEnt will continue to roll out more games with Tipico over the second half of 2020.

Stockholm-based player wins largest jackpot in online casino’s history

A player in Sweden became Svenska Spel Sport & Casino’s highest ever online slot winner on Saturday 27 June 2020 after claiming a SEK28 million (€2.6 million) jackpot prize with NetEnt’s Mega Fortune.

The pay-out smashed the operator’s previous jackpot record of almost SEK2.5 million (€238,500), which was won only a week before by another player in Stockholm when the game’s progressive Mega Jackpot landed.

“Our global jackpot games are continuing to break records across the globe and we’re proud to be able to bring such monumental wins to players through Mega Fortune,” said Andy Whitworth, Chief Commercial Officer at NetEnt. “We hope to continue raising the bar with even bigger jackpots in future.”

Niklas Örtbrant, Head of Online Casino, at Svenska Spel Sport & Casino, said: “To break records twice in two weeks with such a significant jump from the second to first highest win is incredible and we can’t wait to see what the jackpot climbs to next time. We wish all the best to the lucky player and hope they enjoy this life-changing sum.”

Mega Fortune has produced regular life-changing wins for players across the globe since launching in 2012 and has become a firm favourite among audiences world-wide, distributing six to seven figure sums in a host of markets.

NetEnt is taking players to the criminal underworld in its new release, Cash Noire ™, where solving the case of the curious Green Ace murders will result in big rewards.

Set in the crime-ridden streets of San Cayetano, the 5-reel, 4-row game brings back the player-favourite proprietary Avalanche™ feature pioneered with Gonzo’s Quest™ with a new, engaging twist.

The popular mechanic creates fresh chances to win as symbols that form winning combinations disappear and are replaced by falling symbols, while mystery symbols that transform into random symbols make way for even bigger payouts.

The Free Spins round, triggered by collecting clues, adds to the slot’s excitement as players chase down a prime suspect through the street map to potentially unlock progressive multipliers.

In addition to its expansive set of features, Cash Noire™ offers an RTP of 96.06% as well as 1024 betways to maximise player anticipation.

“Cash Noire™ is a mechanically thrilling game set against the backdrop of a murder mystery that will leave players on the edge of their seats,” said Andy Whitworth, NetEnt Chief Commercial Officer. “With the return of Avalanche™ and a strong feature set which ramps up to solve the crime, the gameplay has huge engagement and retention potential and we look forward to it being enjoyed by a wide variety of players.”
