888JILI PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

PG Soft is a games supplier to operators and does not run a casino itself, and the sections below all follow from that difference.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. As for a title count, the studio’s pages leave that figure unstated.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 4 PG Soft titles: Treasures of Aztec, Wild Bandito, Lucky Neko, Mahjong Ways 2.

PG Soft itself features Mahjong Ways 2, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Lucky Neko and Wild Bandito when it presents its own range on its own pages. There the studio is advertising its own catalogue. Which of them a casino carries is not something it tells you, and neither does it say which ones have pages on this site.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, The UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar, taken from the list PG Soft gives. Holding a studio licence differs from holding an operator licence: it applies to the firm that builds the games and not to the casino offering them, so a player’s recourse goes through the operator’s regulator and not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Registered to Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) is licence MGA/B2B/435/2017. According to the MGA’s verification portal, status Licensed applies to the B2B Critical Supply Licence held for the casino vertical. There was a suspension of the same licence by the MGA, effective 29 September 2020, over a compliance breach, followed by reinstatement. A record of that history is kept here, since the current status would look less eventful without it than it was.
• The UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar, taken from the list PG Soft gives — The licensing page at PG Soft has a badge for each. A public register is the source for the MGA licence above, and PG Soft’s listing is the source for these two.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

An approved-games list from PAGCOR EGLD exists for Pocket Games Soft, but it signals content approval, not an operator licence. The line that PG Soft is one of the most-played slot suppliers on PAGCOR-licensed Philippine sites is common in reporting, but it comes from affiliate sources and not from PG Soft.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

Game pages from PG Soft carry a return-to-player figure, so an RTP quoted for one of its titles leads back to the studio and not to an aggregator.

PG Soft publishes RTP within its game data without rendering it for visitors: they get a blank dash, while the figure travels in the data the server sends with the page. The numbers are real, given that each value read like this matched independent consensus on that title. A reader who checks by eye will find a dash, which is exactly why the phrasing has to be ‘per PG Soft’s published game data’ and not ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’.

This matters more than it sounds. A return-to-player number is worth only as much as its source, and a figure copied from one comparison site to another with nothing primary behind it proves nothing.
