NetEnt Develops Community Jackpot System StarBurst PowerPots

In recent announcements on NetEnt’s web presentation there’s been a big-time statement about launching a groundbreaking addon to the platform. Namely, the Swedish producer of premium casino software is gearing up to unveil a new and revolutionary Community Jackpot System: Starburst PowerPots.

This highly customizable jackpot system will allow players to collect Starburst tokens across the entire family of the developer’s best performing games and win a range of life-changing prizes.

To fill up the PowerPots progress bar and trigger a community pot, which is divided between a number of participants, even if they went offline at that point, players will always have to play together. According to the brand, all games within the family share the state and jackpot values, including a special Major Progressive Jackpot.

Customization Options for Operators

Aside from its many properties and benefits for the players, the newly designed jackpot platform by NetEnt will also feature maximum configurability options for operators. The system will include multiple RTP configurations, contributions and prize setups with special abilities to remodify the user interface and match all colors with corporate design solutions for brand awareness purposes. Bryan Upton, director of games at the company explains:

“Starburst PowerPots was developed in line with our customers’ and players’ expectations, taking cue on everything from art assets to mechanics. 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.”

Upton also said that the latest jackpot system Starburst: PowerPots represents a community gaming without the “overengineering and overthought” on what players really want. The supplier’s groundbreaking product is highly customizable and it fits perfectly into any operator’s portfolio to deliver the best possible gameplay experience and interaction with other participants.

Diversifying the Portfolio

Not only will the community jackpot system reach new audiences and widen the company’s player database, it will also diversify the portfolio thanks to new arrivals published at an increased rate. NetEnt Connect, a content aggregation platform that launched early in December 2019 has confirmed imminent integration of three new game suppliers: Games Inc, Gluck Gamevy and Scout Gaming Group. After the inclusion of software, players will gain access to proprietary content such as speedy scratch cards, video lotteries, even sports betting products.

The supplier has also unveiled a collaboration with celebrity chef and ITV to deliver a Gordon Ramsay inspired slot Hells’ Kitchen. Another exclusive partnership has been signed with Capcom Co. Ltd. a Japanese producer of multi-million seeling console video games such as Street Fighter, Mega Man, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and more.

“At NetEnt, we strive to deliver content that – much like Street Fighter – raises the bar in what is possible in gaming and we are immensely proud to be working with such an iconic franchise especially something in tune with the retro trends right now. It is a dream come true to work on brands like these. Street Fighter II really allows us to bring something new and innovative to the market that no one else can,” concluded Upton.

Last but not least, the leading producer of digital casino content has also signed an agreement with FashionTV Gaming Group to deliver The Trillionaire video slot based on a hit song “I Want to be a Trillionaire” by Ania J.
