What are Top 3 New Online Casino Games from NetEnt?

NetEnt's newer releases revisit its best-known titles. Lost Relics 2 is a treasure-hunt slot with chests hidden under blocks, Gonzo's Treasure Map turns Gonzo's Quest into a live game show, and Starburst XXXtreme gives the classic Starburst multiplier wilds and much higher volatility.

This guide covers three NetEnt releases: Lost Relics 2, Gonzo's Treasure Map and Starburst XXXtreme. Each section explains how the game plays, what drives its payouts and which players it suits. The sections also separate what the published data says from what the mechanics suggest.

NetEnt was founded in 1996. The studio's parent company is Evolution AB. NetEnt games reach new casinos through each operator's game lobby, so the same title can be listed at one site and missing at another.

Lost Relics 2

A cluster-style slot where winning symbols break stone blocks and reveal chests underneath. Chests award multipliers, extra wilds, cash prizes or free spins; in free spins the grid can grow and more chests appear.

Base-game wins are modest; the free spins carry the value, so expect long dry spells at a fixed stake.

Lost Relics 2 lists a published RTP of 96.03%.

Lost Relics 2 has a declared volatility of high. An RTP is a long-run average over very many spins, so it does not predict a single session. The guide to what RTP means in new online casinos explains how to read the figure.

Lost Relics 2 builds its game around chests. Winning symbols break stone blocks, and the chests under them pay out once fully revealed. Free spins start with 10 spins, and chest rewards can add more. Because most of the value sits in the free spins, the base game feels quiet. Players who prefer steady small wins may find the pace slow.

Lost Relics 2 also asks for a bankroll plan. The slot can run through many spins without a feature, so choose a stake that lasts. A smaller stake gives the free spins more chances to arrive. Treat the first spins of a session as the cost of reaching a chest feature.

Gonzo's Treasure Map

A live game show built on Gonzo's Quest and produced with Evolution, which owns NetEnt. You bet on areas of a map; blocks drop onto it, and gold or multiplier blocks pay the areas they hit. Gonzo keys open a bonus round with a wall of multipliers.

Gonzo's Treasure Map is a live game show rather than a slot. The game's provider is Evolution Gaming.

Gonzo's Treasure Map is listed under the game type Game Shows. Evolution AB is the parent company of NetEnt, which explains why a NetEnt brand appears in a live studio. The wider range of live titles sits on the Evolution Gaming page.

Gonzo's Treasure Map publishes an RTP of 96.56%. The minimum bet is 0.1 USD. The maximum bet is 1,000 USD. These limits come from our data and can differ by casino, so check the table limits in the game lobby.

Each round gives you two decisions. First, pick the map areas you want to back. Second, decide whether to cover the stones that may hide Gonzo keys. Gold blocks pay 10x on a tile they hit, and Multiplier blocks pay 20x. The bonus round then multiplies prizes with a falling Ruby block.

Block positions are random each round, so no pattern improves your odds. Backing more tiles raises the cost of a round and also raises the chance of a hit. Players who want short rounds with visible outcomes will find the format easy to follow.

Starburst XXXtreme

The classic Starburst layout with expanding wilds on reels 2 to 4, now carrying random multipliers from x2 to x150 that combine. XXXtreme Spins let you pay extra per spin for guaranteed wilds. Volatility is far higher than in the original.

Starburst XXXtreme lists a published RTP of 96.45%.

Starburst XXXtreme has a declared volatility of high. The slot uses 5 reels. Its listed features are bonus buy, multipliers, wild symbols.

Wild symbols and multipliers drive the design. Starburst Wilds expand on reels 2, 3 and 4 and trigger Re-Spins. Random multipliers range from x2 to x150, and several can land together. The bonus buy costs 10 times the bet for one Wild or 95 times the bet for two Wilds per spin. Before using it, read how to choose the best new casino game for your bankroll.

Fans of the original Starburst will recognise the expanding Wilds. The added multipliers and the high volatility change how a session feels. Expect longer gaps between wins than in the original.

Questions

NetEnt games: questions

What are the key features of Lost Relics 2?

Chests hidden under stone blocks that award multipliers, wilds, cash and free spins, with a grid that grows during free spins.

How is Gonzo's Treasure Map different from Gonzo's Quest?

It is a live game show where you bet on map areas, not a slot with cascading reels.

Is Starburst XXXtreme like the original?

It keeps the look and expanding wilds but adds multipliers and much higher volatility.

How often does NetEnt release games?

Several times a year. New releases appear first at casinos that update their lobbies quickly.

What RTP do the three NetEnt games list?

Lost Relics 2 lists 96.03%, Starburst XXXtreme lists 96.45% and Gonzo's Treasure Map lists 96.56%. Gonzo's Treasure Map is a live game show, so its RTP and a slot RTP describe different formats. The three figures sit within one percentage point of each other, so RTP alone should not decide which game to play.

Who owns NetEnt?

Evolution AB is the parent company of NetEnt. NetEnt itself was founded in 1996.

Can I buy bonus features in Starburst XXXtreme?

Yes. The feature list of Starburst XXXtreme includes bonus buy. XXXtreme Spins cost 10 times the bet for one Wild or 95 times the bet for two Wilds per spin. A bonus buy raises the cost of every spin, so set the stake as if each spin cost the full price.

How do free spins work in Lost Relics 2?

Free spins in Lost Relics 2 start from treasure chests or from 3 scatter symbols. The round begins with 10 spins, and chests can add more. The grid can also expand during the round. Casinos attach their own rules to promotional offers, so read the terms of any free spins bonus before you claim it.

How volatile is Lost Relics 2?

Lost Relics 2 has a declared volatility of high. High volatility means long stretches without a feature, followed by occasional large wins. Choose a small stake so the session survives the quiet spells.

How should I manage my budget with high volatility slots?

Set a deposit limit before the first spin and keep to it. High volatility slots can use a whole session budget without paying a feature. Stop when the budget is gone, and do not raise the stake to chase a loss.

Responsible gaming

21+ only
