After designing the VR slot, based on their famous game ‘Gonzo’s Quest’, the company is committed to releasing it to the online market.

Online casinos are plenty, and the players are constantly in the lookout for new things to try. Hence tapping into the steadily growing market of VR casino games is NetEnt’s way of ensuring they keep up with the trends of online gaming.

Expectations High

This tool provides access to VR headsets. VR headsets are still a work in progress, but Netent is confident they’ll be ready for use in VR games in 2017/2018.
