Battle of the Software Developers: NetEnt vs. BetSoft

Software is the cornerstone of a good online casino experience and with this in mind we take a comparative look into two leading software developers: Net Entertainment (NetEnt) and BetSoft.

NetEnt – Branded Games

NetEnt's strong partnerships with companies such as 20th Century Fox, Universal Studios and South Park Studios have benefited the online gaming world as a whole, as larger crowds become exposed to online casinos. NetEnt is responsible for licensed games such as South Park, Scarface, Creatures from the Black Lagoon and Aliens which was a huge hit last year.

Just recently NetEnt revealed its upcoming Guns N' Roses slot which brings one of the world's most popular rock bands to online casinos – truly a great deal that paves the way to future collaborations.

NetEnt slots are given a lot of love and attention to the smallest details. The games display impressive graphics, quality sounds with befitting soundtracks and original themes for games beside the branded games – titles like Tornado: Farm Escape, EggOMatic, the Cosmic Fortune progressive jackpot and more.

Some leading NetEnt online casinos include Tivoli Casino, No Bonus Casino, Winner Casino, BETAT Casino and Casino Cruise.

BetSoft Gaming – Graphics and Original Concepts

BetSoft Gaming is rightfully thought of as an innovator and leader in all that has to do with graphics – specifically 3D graphics. Like NetEnt, BetSoft has contributed to online casinos as whole with its effort to instill 3D graphics in games and push them all the way to their possible limits, on desktops and mobile devices.

BetSoft prides itself on its Slots3 series of games which link quality 3D graphics with original game concepts giving players an experience that doesn't culminate in pulling a lever. Whospunit is a good example: Players are cast into a manor where a murder has been committed, and while spinning the reels they gather clues and evidence to try and find the murderer.

BetSoft's games can be played at prominent casinos such as Vera and John Casino, bet365 Casino and Casino Extra.

And the Winner Is…

NetEnt is our preferred software developer – their branded games showcase their influence and credit. However original BetSoft concepts are, NetEnt's production quality is higher: Try playing Mega Gems from BetSoft against NetEnt's Starburst and feel the difference. This is not to say that BetSoft loses – it's a great company that is also strong in mobile, but ultimately we think NetEnt edges out the competition.
