Net Entertainment AwardsOne of the things that’s really interesting about the online gambling world is how it polices itself in many different ways. Good businesses need to be rewarded while bad businesses need to be punished, and award ceremonies are a great way to do that. The International Gaming Awards are one of the most important awards ceremonies for this industry, and winning a prize there really means a lot because they have a ton of credibility.

While Net Entertainment has received a number of important awards in the past, what they picked up in the 2014 IGAs is extremely important to the industry as it stands right now. They were awarded the Innovator of the Year prize, and this is such a big deal because innovation is what NetEnt has been about since day one. They have completely changed how the industry is operating right now, and it’s great to see them rewarded for their work.

The State of the Industry

When Net Entertainment first game on the scene, the online casino software world was dominated by a handful of companies who focused primarily on putting out as many games as they could on a regular basis. Numbers were the most important thing because casino sites wanted to be able to say that they had more games available than the competition. There wasn’t so much of a focus on quality as the sheer number of games that you could play.

The thing that made NetEnt stand out was that everything they did was based around a quality over quantity approach. They do not have as many games as the competition, but they don’t need to because their reputation is based around giving players games that they will want to continue playing for week and months instead of getting bored with it and moving on to the next one after a couple of hours of play.

In the past year, they have really made a similar push with their mobile product. The Mobile Touch line of games is based on using HTML5 to get the most out of today’s smartphone technology. This is right in line with how NetEnt is always on the cutting edge.
