We might be in the minority when saying this, but sometimes when it comes to online video slots, we just want to spin a few rounds of a game that doesn’t have any real kind of base theme. That’s why we love the options like Starburst and Dazzle Me from NetEnt, because they’re so basically themed and don’t need to meet our expectations of theme-worthiness. This is also why we enjoy their product entitled ‘Sparks’. Don’t misunderstand us though, because this game is still completely energy-filled and contains some special features to keep you thoroughly entertained while playing it. Not only that, but it also incorporates a nice piece of calming music to assist you along your spinning adventures. So, if you’re like us and enjoy taking things down to a slower, more relaxed level every now and again, we’d highly recommend playing the Sparks game. It appears to all take place in some vortex or lost space somewhere, and we often get the feeling that we’re floating while playing it, which, again, could just be the effect of the added soundtrack, but hey, we’re not complaining.

Space Wars Slot
If you’d like to play a game with zany characters and a completely wacky underlying theme, then you’ll definitely love NetEnt’s ‘Space Wars’. You’ll be pushed in to the battle for galactic control, and as you become a part of it, you’ll see five different extra-terrestrial species fight for the possession of a powerful crystal. All of this becomes clear in the game’s opening video package, which displays the alien races in their fight for the said gemstone. So, do you have a side that you’d rather support through this whole battle? Which is your favourite alien? Before you make your decision, let’s take a look at some of the other features of this product. The entire game takes place from the comfort of your space ship, with a view of a close by moon showing behind the reels. There’s also a large canister on the right hand side of the reels, and this has a special feature of its own, which we’ll get to in a little while. Not only that, but NetEnt have also incorporated a warped piece of music into the game as well, which just builds and builds, providing you with action without you actually spinning the reels. So, let’s dive in and see how far our space travel will take us.
South Park: Reel Chaos Slot
NetEnt had such success with its first South Park release that it decided to undertake a sequel, and henceforth, Reel Chaos was introduced to the gaming world. While the first offering of this game stayed close to the television show in terms of characters and setting, this second game provides a unique location and story behind it. All of the four boys from the series return to the reels, but this time they appear as superheroes who must do battle with the evil Professor Chaos and his minions. You might remember that the first game was also stuffed full of special features, and this follow up proves to be just as heavy in that department. This doesn’t take anything away from the base game play though, and instead just enhances the overall experience. Of course, there are a few additional characters as well as the original four boys, and these can all be viewed as either an icon or as part of a speciality addition. What’s even better about this game is that NetEnt have also included an amazing piece of music into it, which is filled with enough drama and action in itself to make a Batman movie jealous.
South Park Slot
If you’re one of those people who has been living under a rock for the past two decades, then allow us to explain all about South Park. It’s an American adult animated sitcom, which is created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network. The show centres around four boys, those being Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick. They frequently end up being involved in many disastrous adventures around the town of South Park, Colorado. Due to its use of crude language and dark, surreal humour, the show is intended only for viewing by mature audiences. It was first broadcast on television in August of 1997 to rave reviews, and to this day it still remains as one of Comedy Central’s highest rated shows. Because of its huge success, it has spread across to many forms of media, including video slots like this one created by NetEnt. The game itself is full of humour and good-natured fun, transporting you to the South Park town to go on an adventure of your own with the show’s characters. So join us as we look through what makes this product so good.
Simsalabim Slot
Magic, which is sometimes referred to as ‘stage magic’ to ensure it is distinguished from paranormal or ritual magic, is a performing art that entertains audiences by staging tricks or creating illusions of seemingly impossible or supernatural feats. Such feats are often called magic tricks, effects or illusions, and the professionals who perform such acts are known as stage magicians or illusionists. With this in mind, NetEnt took it upon themselves to create a video slot based on such a theme, and hence, Simsalabim was born. The game is filled with all kinds of magic tricks, and you’ll join the attending audience (who can be heard anxiously awaiting the start of the show in the background). Every spin of the reels will offer up a thrilling experience, just as if you were involved in the illusions themselves, and the game has its own dose of magical features to keep you fully entertained. So, if you’re ready to experience the wonders of a staged magic act, set yourself off spinning the reels of Simsalabim!
Silent Run Slot
There have been many naval personnel who have reported on their lives aboard submarine vessels. Some have noted them as being quite cramped living spaces, others have described it as a fun experience. One or two might have mentioned that it is at times quite scary, while others have explained how boring it can get. For the majority of us, life under the sea is something we’ll never get to experience, but NetEnt are able to take you on step closer to such with their online slot game, Silent Run. In the game, you’re dumped straight into the middle of an ongoing naval battle, and it’s up to you to assist your crew, track down your enemies with your sonar and destroy all who oppose you. Or at least, that’s the general feeling behind this game. You’re presented with authentic submarine sounds as you play, giving you the clanky metallic sounds and the rushes of water that bypass the vessel while you propel your way through the ocean. We imagine that such sounds could be quite scary and exhilarating at the same time, and whenever we play Silent Run, we’re virtually on the edge of our seats the whole time.
Secrets of Horus Slot
Of the few games that NetEnt have created with Ancient Egypt as their theme, Secrets of Horus has to be the one that offers up the most generic option. That’s not to say that it’s a bad game in any way, because let’s be honest, anything created by NetEnt is going to be amazing 99% of the time. However, when compared with others like ‘Pyramid: Quest for Immortality’, this one is a lot more standard in terms of its layout, icons and special features. That being said, it does offer up the most wonderful piece of soundtrack music to spin the reels to, providing not only a sense of Ancient Egypt, but also a sense of mystery and intrigue. It puts you right in the mood to find out exactly what Horus’s secrets actually were. In any event, it appears that you’re on the verge of discovering such, as the game is set inside an old burial chamber, with markings on the walls of Horus himself, so if you can just break in to the sealed tomb, all of your questions will be answered. So come with us on a journey back to the times of Ancient Egypt, and see if you’re able to figure out what secrets lie beneath the surface.
Secret of the Stones Slot
Secret of the Stones claims to take you back to the times when Stonehenge was used by ancient druids. Of course, we all know Stonehenge as being a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England. Its ring of standing stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in the country, and archaeologists believe that it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. It is often cited as a burial ground, being used as such from its earliest beginnings, and continuing as such for another 500 years. It’s ideal then, that NetEnt took this theme and turned it into a video slot game, or at least, based a video slot around it. As such, Secret of the Stones is steeped in mystery itself, complete with an utterly enigmatic soundtrack. Despite being one of the products that the developer released quite a bit earlier than many other offerings they now have, it still contains stellar graphics and animations, ensuring that your game play is entertaining and enjoyable.
Secret Code Slot
We’ve never been sure about a game that is based on the illuminati, but when it came to the NetEnt product, Secret Code, we were forced to think again. The illuminati is a name which has been given to several groups, both real and fictitious, although in history, the name usually referred to the Bavarian illuminati. This was a secret society from the Enlightenment era of the 18th century. The society’s goals were to opposite any superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life and abuses of state power. The society was eventually outlawed through law by the Bavarian ruler, Charles Theodore, who was backed by the Roman Catholic Church, in the years 1784, 85, 87 and 1790. In the years following this, the group was vilified by conservative and religious critics, who claimed that they had continued underground and were responsible for the French Revolution which took place between 1789 and 1799. The Secret Code game takes you on a journey with this elite and secret group, presenting players with an intriguing product to play on the whole.
Scarface Slot
If you haven’t seen the 1983 film called Scarface, then perhaps it’s time to enlighten yourself on it before playing the slot game of the same name from NetEnt in collaboration with Universal Studios. It tells the story of Tony Montana, portrayed by Al Pacino, who manages to leave Cuba during the Mariel exodus of 1980. He ends up in a Florida refugee camp, but his friend Manny, played by Steven Bauer, has a way out for them. This results in them undertaking a contract killing in return for a green card. Montana soon ends up working for drug dealer Frank Lopez, who is expertly played in the film by Robert Loggia. Soon enough, Tony’s lifestyle brings a new level of violence to the streets of Miami, and soon enough he wants to rise to the top of the mob gang, intent on taking over Lopez’s empire and his mistress Elvira, portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer. He ends up being a target for everyone though, and it is with this in mind that the slot game has been created. If you’re not in the mood to watch the movie, then you should definitely check out the game. It’s full of thrills and spills for you to entertain yourself with.
