PG Soft

Pocket Games Soft, founded 2015, is a mobile-first studio whose content is now a fixture across Asian, Latin American and increasingly European lobbies. The company says its games are validated by BMM Testlabs and Gaming Associates.

Two things about this catalogue are unusual, and both matter more than the theme descriptions you will find elsewhere.

Every game returns almost exactly the same

Game	RTP	Hit rate	Max win	Ways / lines
Mahjong Ways 2	96.95%	29.9%	Disputed	2,000 ways
Mahjong Ways	96.92%	—	Disputed	1,024 ways
Fortune Tiger	96.81%	—	2,500x	5 lines
Fortune Ox	96.75%	—	2,000x	10 lines
Fortune Rabbit	96.75%	21.83%	5,000x	10 lines
Lucky Neko	96.73%	27.56%	5,527x	2,025–32,400
Wild Bandito	96.73%	—	25,000x	1,024 ways
Candy Bonanza	96.72%	—	Unverified	Pays anywhere
Treasures of Aztec	96.71%	29.07%	Disputed	Up to 32,400
Ways of the Qilin	96.69%	33.67%	7,106x	576–46,656

The entire catalogue spans 0.26 percentage points, from 96.69% to 96.95%.

For comparison, BGaming's ten most-played titles on this site span 2.4 points — from 94.94% to 97.34%, nearly ten times the spread.

This is a deliberate design choice and it is good news for players. It means that within PG Soft's catalogue, the return is not a differentiator. You cannot pick a better-value PG Soft game, because there isn't one. Choose on mechanics, grid size and hit rate instead — those genuinely differ.

It also means anything above 96.7% is normal here, not remarkable, and marketing that presents a PG Soft game's RTP as exceptional is presenting the studio's house standard.

The volatility label tells you nothing

PG Soft classifies all ten of these games as medium volatility.

A 3x3 game with five fixed lines and no free spins round is not the same volatility as a 6x6 grid running up to 46,656 ways with cascading multipliers. They are classified identically anyway.

The label is a catalogue-wide default, not a per-game assessment, and it carries no information. We reproduce it on individual pages for completeness and we do not recommend acting on it.

Use these instead:

• Line or ways count. Fortune Tiger at 5 fixed lines will behave nothing like Ways of the Qilin at up to 46,656.
• Hit rate, where published. The studio's figures range from 21.83% to 33.67% — a genuine, meaningful spread, and unlike some developers' hit-rate data, these numbers sit in the range the metric normally implies.
• Whether the game has a free spins round at all. Fortune Ox and Fortune Tiger do not.

The maximum-win problem

Four of the ten games above show Disputed or Unverified rather than a number. That is deliberate, and it is the most important thing on this page.

PG Soft publishes 100,000x as the maximum win for both Mahjong Ways 2 and Treasures of Aztec — two structurally different games. Independent sources report figures for Mahjong Ways 2 as low as 1,708x, and material tracing back to the developer contains both numbers. For the original Mahjong Ways, the spread runs between roughly 2,893x and 25,000x.

Genuine computed maxima do not land on identical round numbers across unrelated games. When the same studio also publishes 5,527x for Lucky Neko and 7,106x for Ways of the Qilin, the contrast is instructive: those are maths results, and 100,000x is a policy ceiling or a total-exposure limit.

Our approach: where a specific computed figure exists, we use it. Where the sources contradict each other by an order of magnitude, we state that rather than pick one. Every other site listing these games prints 100,000x without comment.

What the studio is actually good at

Setting the data problems aside, this is a coherent and well-built catalogue with a clear identity.

The design signature is compact, legible, mobile-first play — a 3x3 grid at 5 lines, a 3-4-3 at 10 lines, tumble mechanics with visible multiplier ladders above the reels. Everything is designed to be read instantly on a phone in portrait orientation, which is a genuinely different engineering brief from the desktop-first studios in the rest of this catalogue.

The recurring mechanics are worth knowing:

• Gold-plated symbols that transform into wilds after forming a win (the Mahjong and Bandito titles)
• Escalating multiplier ladders that climb with each cascade and reset when the chain ends
• Expanding ways grids where coverage itself is the variable (Lucky Neko, Ways of the Qilin)
• Guaranteed-outcome respins in the Fortune series, which is a genuinely uncommon structure

Also on this site

• BGaming — a studio that publishes its data with far more precision, for direct comparison
• Big Time Gaming — originators of the variable-ways format PG Soft uses
• Editorial standards — why we leave fields blank rather than fill them with disputed figures
