ELK Studios has higher shares of slots in the high-or-very-high-volatility group and of slots that include a bonus buy. These are catalogue-level comparisons, not claims about every game from either provider.

Catalogue size and game types
The database lists 244 NetEnt slots and 151 ELK Studios slots. That gives NetEnt the larger catalogue here, but catalogue size alone does not indicate which provider’s games will suit a particular player. The supplied data does not break down either catalogue by theme, mechanics or release period, so those categories cannot be compared reliably from these figures.
For a game-by-game look, the NetEnt slot catalogue and ELK Studios slot catalogue provide provider-specific listings. When comparing titles, check each game’s own specifications rather than assuming a provider-level average applies to every slot.
RTP comparison
NetEnt’s average stated RTP is 96.36%; ELK Studios’ is 94.83%. On this database measure, NetEnt’s average is higher. An average summarises the listed games and should not be read as the RTP of a specific slot.
RTP can differ between casino versions of the same game. The figures here are database averages, not guarantees about a particular version or session. Check the game’s in-game information screen for its current RTP; the database does not provide individual game RTP values in this comparison data.
Volatility mix
The database rates 26% of NetEnt slots and 88% of ELK Studios slots as high or very high volatility. That means the high-or-very-high category represents a much larger share of ELK Studios’ listed catalogue. The figures do not describe every game from either provider, and volatility labels are not a measure of expected returns.
Players comparing individual titles should check the volatility rating for each game rather than relying only on the provider-wide share. The supplied figures do not give a more detailed breakdown between “high” and “very high.”
Signature features
The available comparison data supports a count of slots with a bonus buy, but it does not list other provider-specific signature mechanics. Feature availability can vary by game, so check the individual slot’s information before drawing conclusions about its bonus rounds or other mechanics.
Bonus buy
A bonus buy is included in 14% of NetEnt slots and 59% of ELK Studios slots in the database. This is a share of each provider’s catalogue, not the number of games: NetEnt has more listed slots overall, while ELK Studios has the higher proportion with this feature. The supplied data does not give a title-by-title list or confirm availability for particular versions.
Megaways and cluster pays
The data does not provide counts for Megaways or cluster-pay games, or confirm that either mechanic is a defining feature of these catalogues. For those details, consult the individual game listing and its in-game information rather than inferring mechanics from the provider name.
Max win
No top max-win figure is listed for either provider in the supplied comparison data. Max win is a game-specific specification, so check the chosen slot’s in-game info screen for the figure. This page cannot establish which provider has the higher maximum win.
Top NetEnt slots
The supplied data gives no individual NetEnt game names or title-level rankings. It therefore does not support a “top slots” list or a claim that one NetEnt game is better than another. The provider catalogue link above can help you browse the available listings; compare each title’s own RTP, volatility and feature information where those details are available.
Top ELK Studios slots
No individual ELK Studios titles are named in the comparison data, so a ranked list cannot be provided without adding unsupported information. The catalogue-level figures show that 88% of ELK Studios slots are rated high or very high volatility and 59% include a bonus buy, but these percentages do not identify which games have either characteristic. Check individual listings for title-specific details.
