NetEnt unveils new community jackpot system

Stockholm-listed gaming supplier NetEnt has developed a new community jackpot system to help drive player engagement.

Starburst PowerPots allows players to collect Starburst tokens across multiple casino brands and NetEnt’s best performing games for a range of prizes.

Players can play together to fill up the PowerPots progress bar to trigger the community pot, which is then divided among any number of players.

“Starburst PowerPots was developed in line with our customers’ and players’ expectations, taking cue on everything from art assets to mechanics,” said NetEnt director of games Bryan Upton. “We are using leading edge games design approaches to make this jackpot family with our most powerful games simple to understand yet compelling.

“Using the Starburst brand will create massive acquisition while these jackpot mechanics will drive huge engagement for players. This is community gaming without the overengineering and overthought on what slot players really want. This product can fit into any operator’s portfolio and deliver any experience, from large life changing prizes to super-fast hitting jackpots.”

Shares in NetEnt AB (STO:NET_B) were trading marginally down by 0.94 per cent at SEK26.30 per share in Stockholm earlier Friday.
