Leo Vegas casino have been adding a host of new mobile slots to their growing list of 200+ games.
Some that were brought to our attention were the Nektan slots. Why? Well, because we hadn’t heard from them before and we like testing new things.
Also, they are based right here in the United Kingdom with us, whilst concentrating only on mobile casino games.
They were worth exploring.
So what are our first impressions of this slot software provider? And are there any games worth playing?
20 free spins when you register +150% bonus + 200 free spins on top at Leo Vegas.
Who is Nektan?
Formed in 2011, Nektan is a fairly new player in the casino game.
That said, instead of trying to compete with the big boys, they’ve concentrated on creating mobile only slots and games. Meaning you won’t find any anywhere but on Android and iOS casinos.
Their games are licensed by the Gibraltar Licensing Authority, though they maintain sales in both, Europe and North America, with offices in Gibraltar, London and Las Vegas.
Why the US? No you can’t play their slots in the US. But they do have some free-play games available and are involved with the lotteries over there.
Basically, they’ve got many fingers in many pies.
But what are their casino games like?
The main defining thing that connects them all together is that they are all very pretty indeed.
Also mostly slot machines. 19 at last count, though we’ve only reviewed four as they are not all being released at once at Leo Vegas; the only Nektan casino we recommend.
Mostly because Nektan mobile casinos are few and far between, and good Nektan casinos are even fewer. That’s the problem when you are still a young company, most of your new clients won’t always be the best.
But with Leo Vegas, they struck gold.
Because here’s a casino with a wide choice of mobile casino games, so if they want their slots to stand out from the pack, they better be good.
What are our first impressions?
Mixed. Very mixed indeed.
But then we’ve only gotten our hands on four slot games so far. Two, we didn’t like, one we thought was ok, and the other we could see ourselves playing more than once.
Bally, Betsoft, Evolution Gaming, iGaming2Go, IGT, iSoftbet, Microgaming, Nektan, Net Entertainment, NextGen, Play’n GO, Thunderkick and Viaden Gaming.
The ones we didn’t like
They were basically the super low variance games, specifically the Heroic slot and Elf & Safety.
Both are 20 paylines, both are identical in every way but looks.
One is about dragons, adventure and epic adventure, the other is about the mis-adventures of santa’s elves a day before Christmas.
Yet both get you little to no wins on their five reels. The free spins come often, but with no multipliers or extra wilds, or anything, you’ll be lucky to walk away with more than 10x your bet.
Pretty they might be, but you’ll be spinning and spinning without getting anywhere.
The one we quite liked
At first glance Troll’s Tale mobile slot may look a lot like the two we didn’t like.
20 paylinea, fairly low variance, 10 free spins… What makes this game acceptable whilst the other two are barely playable?
Two things; first it has sticky wilds, which can remain sticky for up to 5 spins and there’s an additional click me game.
The first has given us some decent 50x our bet, and the second has the potential for 100x our bet.
It’s not the most likely thing to happen, that’s for sure, but at least the hope is there.
And yes, this is basically a parody of the original Shrek movie.

The one we love
If you’ve been following our new slot game releases over the last few days, you’ll be able to guess which is the last one left on our list.
And no, it’s not because we are feeling particularly patriotic that we’ve decided that the Best of British slot is the best of the Nektan games.
It’s because it’s genuinely the one we liked the most.
Reason being, it’s higher variance than the others, and has larger wins over the 15 paylines.
The reason? It comes with stacked symbols and stacked wilds. That lead to larger multiple wins.
Add that the free spins come often and you get 30 free spins at a time, and you’ve got the chance of getting some good hits.
Where can I play?
At Leo Vegas casino, where you get 200 free spins and up to 1,000 in bonus money over four deposits.
There are other Nektan casinos out there, mostly only british, and with no other games but Nektan games.
And whilst clearly there is the occasional gem in the Nektan selection, you want to be able to play other great games from other providers. There’s just not enough here to truly entertain you for very long.
Which is why Leo Vegas mobile casino is a great place to get you started. Play on Best of British, or Troll’s Tale if you want something less risky, and then move on to IGT, NetEnt, Microgaming, or any of the hundreds of other mobile casino games they have on offer.
