NetEnt is one of the best-known developers in the booming iGaming industry and is responsible for the creation of some of the most popular slots including Blood Suckers. The Swedish company which was founded in 1996 recently achieved some well-deserved credit for its work in the industry at the Southern European Gaming (SEG) Awards. NetEnt picked up three accolades including Best Online Casino Provider, Best Live Casino Provider, and Best Support for Responsible Gambling.

NetEnt was recognised and awarded for their technology, which is constantly pushing the boundaries of online casino innovation. NetEnt is one of the early pioneers of virtual reality in slot games, and has also put a heavy focus on live casino offerings over the past twelve months. The company stands out from the crowd with the way it aims to offer a seamless live casino experience which makes players feel as though they are playing in an actual casino. This is done through the use of live streaming technology, which has revolutionised the online casino industry in recent years. By acquiring smaller studios like Red Tiger as well, NetEnt has been able to expand its portfolio and offer more to its clients.

NetEnt’s rise to iGaming superpower can serve as inspiration for online businesses in Devon that want to grow and thrive. Those who haven’t looked to incorporate live streaming yet should certainly look into doing so. The software isn’t just useful for connecting players to live games of blackjack and roulette, it also has various other applications. Online businesses can use it for advertising, and a way to engage with customers. It can also be put to good use in client meetings.

There are numerous examples of businesses in Devon which are pushing the boundaries of live streaming and bringing about new ways to use the technology. For example, Bad Wolf Horizon is a company which offers live streaming drone videos. The business was founded by 23-year-old Tom Wadsworth, who was the recipient of the Young Businessman of the Year award. He is looking to expand in the future, with numerous links to top brands.

Another major company in the region is Blue Flame, the heating company which earned the Customer Service Award. The specialists deal with more than 12,000 customers, and engineers have even been known to walk to customers in emergency situations. The company could seek to bring in live streaming now to enhance their service further. It could be used to put customers on the line with heating specialists to guide them through any problems that may occur.

NetEnt has shown how crucial it is for online businesses to get into live streaming in the modern age. The technology has taken the internet by storm because it increases interaction and engagement, and can be used in multiple ways. Devon-based businesses should follow NetEnt’s lead and see how they can also introduce live streaming to their company profiles.
