NetEnt is one of Oshi's named studios and it's the source of the classic slots Canadians recognise on sight - the Starburst and Gonzo's Quest lineage that defined the modern video slot. It supplies the steady, low-drama end of a library that runs to thousands of titles, with the exact count disputed across review sites.

Next to Pragmatic Play and Yggdrasil, NetEnt is the heritage name in Oshi's lineup - and unlike Evolution, it lives on the slot shelf, not the live floor. Its catalogue is built on the games that taught a generation what a bonus round and an expanding wild look like, which is why it anchors the classic-slots section rather than the newest mechanics.
Oshi has operated since 2015 and lists 100+ studios, though portals push that from 100 to 125+. The whole game count is quoted between roughly 3,000 and 8,000, so we describe it as thousands and flag that the sources disagree. NetEnt's share is the recognisable classic slots inside that pool.
The Starburst and Gonzo's Quest lineage
Starburst is the shorthand for the whole genre - a low-volatility, both-ways-pay gem slot that became the default free-spins game across the industry. Gonzo's Quest introduced the Avalanche mechanic, where symbols drop in and winning ones vanish to make room for more, with a rising multiplier. Between them they seeded much of what later studios iterated on, and both sit inside the Oshi slots catalogue under the NetEnt name.
| Slot | Signature | Feel |
|---|---|---|
| Starburst | Both-ways pays, expanding wild respins | Low volatility, fast sessions |
| Gonzo's Quest | Avalanche drops + rising multiplier | Adventure theme, medium variance |
| Classic NetEnt range | Clean maths, recognisable bonus rounds | The heritage end of the shelf |
We're deliberately keeping the maths qualitative here - rather than quote an RTP that may differ from the build Oshi runs, check each game's own info panel. What NetEnt reliably brings is the low-variance, well-understood end of the library, a contrast to Pragmatic's high-multiplier tumble games.
Why NetEnt sits at the calmer end
If Gates of Olympus is the storm, Starburst is the metronome. NetEnt's back catalogue leans lower-volatility with clean, readable features, which makes it the section players reach for when they want longer sessions rather than one big swing. That positioning is exactly why Oshi keeps it as a distinct classic-slots pillar rather than folding it into the newer studios.
Cashing out and the fine print
A Starburst or Gonzo's Quest win withdraws the same way as anything else at Oshi - Interac e-Transfer for Canadian players, crypto for speed, with portals reporting a crypto median around 14 minutes after approval. That figure is reported by portals, not tested first-hand by us, and a first cashout can wait on KYC. Oshi's licence is disputed (Tobique #0000002 / Novatrix SRL versus Curacao), so read the licence line in the terms before depositing. The general FAQ covers the rest.
