NetEnt takes a step into the Dutch market with Holland Casino partnership, seeing its portfolio of slot games offered to brand new players

NetEnt has today announced that it has signed an agreement for the supply of its full catalogue of online slots titles to Holland Casino Online.

The agreement means that Holland Casino Online’s players will soon be able to enjoy numerous iconic slots games from NetEnt, such as Starburst, Starburst XXXtreme, Gonzo’s Gold and Divine Fortune Megaways. NetEnt’s Starburst is the legendary slot that has dominated the industry for years, while Starburs™ XXXtreme is the eagerly awaited sequel that has quickly become a fan favourite across the globe.

Alongside the NetEnt deal, Holland Casino Online has also signed an agreement to take the full portfolio of online slots – as well as jackpots and other player engagement tools – from Red Tiger, a sister brand of NetEnt within the Evolution Group. The Red Tiger content portfolio includes such top-performing player favourites as Dynamite Riches Megaways, Gonzo’s Quest Megaways and Primate King.

Holland Casino Online, as a government agency, was founded in 1976 and is regulated by the Ministry of Security and Justice. It operates 14 land-based casinos across the country. As a foundation with the Ministry of Finance as a quasi-shareholder, it pays its net profit to the Dutch government, excluding transfers to its equity capital.

In October 2021 Holland Casino Online launched its online offering, bringing a wide choice of gambling and betting opportunities to online players, including casino and poker games, sports betting and bingo.

Jeroen Verkroost, Director of Digital Transformation, Holland Casino Online, commented: “Holland Casino Online is always looking for ways to extend and enhance our players’ online gaming experience. We are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with Evolution to offer their innovative games to our audience in the Netherlands.”

James Jones, Head of Business Development at Evolution, added: “We are very happy to have partnered with Holland Casino Online. We know their players will love having the chance to play so many great NetEnt slots titles. It marks another step in our journey in the Dutch market, and we look forward to continuing to expand our presence there and working with fantastic operators such as Holland Casino Online. We look forward to what we hope will be a long and fruitful relationship on both sides.”

International Game Technology PLC, doing business as Brightstar Lottery, announced it has completed the sale of its Gaming & Digital business to a holding company owned by funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management Inc. on July 1, 2025. Effective July 2, 2025, Brightstar began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under its business name, Brightstar Lottery, and new ticker symbol, BRSL. The Company’s CUSIP will not change, and no action is needed from current stockholders.

“The sale of the Gaming & Digital business positions Brightstar for an exciting future. The balanced allocation of proceeds to significantly reduce debt and return substantial capital to shareholders, in addition to funding investments in growth and improving ongoing shareholder returns, reflect the Board’s continuing commitment to enhance shareholder value,” said Marco Sala, Executive Chair of Brightstar.

“Today marks an exciting new chapter for the Company, one that builds on a long legacy of delivering responsible, sustainable solutions through our products, services, technology, and insights. I am extremely proud of the Brightstar team, whose future-forward mindset and commitment to innovation serving lottery customers around the world are the foundation of the Company’s strong financial position and predictable cash flows,” said Vince Sadusky, CEO of Brightstar.

The Company received approximately $4.0 billion of net cash proceeds that are expected to be allocated in the following manner:

• $2.0 billion used for previously disclosed contractual commitment to reduce debt:

• Redeem in whole the 4.125% Senior Secured U.S. Dollar Notes due April 2026 and the 3.500% Senior Secured Euro Notes due June 2026.

• €300 million to prepay the Term Loan Facilities due January 2027.

• Remaining amount allocated to prepay the Revolving Credit Facilities due July 2027.

• $1.1 billion to be returned to shareholders:

• The Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend to common stockholders in the amount of $3.00 per share. The record date of the distribution is July 14, 2025, and it will be payable on July 29, 2025.

• In addition, the Board authorized a $500 million, two-year share repurchase program. The new authorization replaces the Company’s existing share repurchase program.

• $500 million to partially fund upcoming Italy Lotto license payments.

• $400 million to be used for general corporate purposes.

The Company intends to maintain a strong balance sheet with target net debt leverage (net debt/last twelve months (LTM) Adjusted EBITDA) around 3.0x supported by robust cash flow generation. Pro forma for the transaction, approximately $100 million of residual post-closing transaction costs, the full upfront payments associated with the new Italy Lotto license, and the $1.1 billion of capital returned to shareholders, net debt leverage as of March 31, 2025, was 3.5x.
