WJ2 PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Operators that carry it are not the topic of this page; PG Soft the studio is. Everything that follows is drawn from public regulator records and from the company’s own material.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. There is no title count stated by the studio.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, The UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar, according to the list from PG Soft. Because a studio licence is a different thing from an operator licence, covering the games’ maker rather than the casino that offers them, a player’s recourse runs through the operator’s regulator and not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Licence MGA/B2B/435/2017 is held by the company Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195). Look up the casino vertical on the MGA’s verification portal and the B2B Critical Supply Licence shows Licensed. From 29 September 2020 the same licence sat under an MGA suspension for a compliance breach until it was reinstated. That history goes on record here so the current status does not look less eventful than it actually was.
• The UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar, according to the list from PG Soft — Each of the two is represented by a badge, shown on PG Soft’s own licensing page. A public register backs the MGA licence above, but for these two the source is PG Soft’s own listing.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

An approved-games list from PAGCOR EGLD covers Pocket Games Soft, but approval of content is a different thing from an operator licence. The claim that PG Soft is among the most-played slot suppliers on Philippine sites that PAGCOR licenses is widely repeated, but affiliate sources are behind it, not PG Soft.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 2 PG Soft titles: Wild Bounty Showdown, Mahjong Ways.

Wild Bandito, Lucky Neko, Fortune Ox, Fortune Tiger and Mahjong Ways 2 are the titles PG Soft itself features on its own pages. What that shows is the studio promoting its own catalogue. Which of them any casino carries is not covered, and neither is which have pages here.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

Anyone reading an RTP quoted for one of its titles can trace it to the studio instead of an aggregator, because PG Soft publishes a return-to-player figure on its own game pages.

On the page a visitor sees, the RTP field shows only a blank dash, yet PG Soft does publish RTP in its game data, and the number is there in what the server delivers alongside the page. Reading values in that way gave results that all matched independent consensus on the same title, which makes the numbers real. ‘Per PG Soft’s published game data’ is still the correct phrasing, whereas ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’ fails, as eyeballing it turns up a dash.

This matters more than it sounds. Evidence of anything is missing from a number that comparison sites repeat among themselves with no primary source, since a return-to-player figure is only as good as its source.

Playing PG Soft games at WJ2

1. Sign in at WJ2 and open the game lobby.
2. In the lobby, filter by PG Soft, or search by name for a title.

4. Learning a new title calls for a low starting stake, and a session budget should be set before you begin.
