NetEnt Returns To Canada’s Online Casinos

NetEnt games and slots are once again available to players in Canada at a selected number of online casinos, after an absence of several years.

NetEnt has had quite a complicated history in Canada. In June 2016, the game provider decided to pull all of its games out of Canada, much to the dismay of Canadian players who could no longer play popular games such as Gonzo’s Quest and Starburst.

NetEnt never released an official statement explaining why they had pulled out of Canada, which understandably, left some players feeling shortchanged. However, its intentions were most likely good. In fact, there was speculation that NetEnt may have simply wanted to acquire licenses in all of Canada’s provinces, so it could continue to operate completely above board.

Indeed, in May 2017, NetEnt announced that it had returned to Canada – but only to the province of British Columbia. While this was good news for the online gamblers of BC, it still left non-BC players out in the cold. Still, this was the first step towards NetEnt’s welcome return to the Great White North, which is now finally starting to take shape.

So far, only a few online casinos have re-introduced NetEnt games for Canadians, but it seems very likely that the rest will follow in the coming months. From the much-missed classic games, to recent releases including Narcos, Dead or Alive 2, Arcane Reel Chaos, Scudamore’s Super Stakes, and Vikings, it’s absolutely wonderful news for Canadian online gamblers to have this catalogue of games available to them once again.

The million-dollar question is, where can you play NetEnt games online if you’re in Canada? At the time of writing, NetEnt games are available on only a few trusted online casinos, including 21 Casino, LeoVegas, and Videoslots. But that’s bound to change within a few months, so make sure you keep checking back. And if you’d like to check out games from other gaming providers, our extensive and constantly-updated online slots catalogue will surely help you discover your new favourite game.
