JL59 Mahjong Ways 2 — Avalanche Reels, 2000 Ways & RTP

Mahjong Ways 2 comes from PG Soft, and its defining mechanic is a game with a medium volatility label and a published maximum of 100,000x, which is not a common pairing.

Nothing on this page is a guess: each figure can be followed to a source that has been published.

How does the Mahjong Ways 2 feature round operate

It is during the feature round that this game really pays out.

An avalanche takes over from the cascade, golden tiles converting to wilds as they fall, while the way-count climbs almost twofold to 2,000. A medium volatility label combined with a 100,000x maximum is what to pause on; it usually indicates that the maximum is an accounting ceiling, not an outcome worth planning around. The mechanism has not changed: a rising free-spins multiplier that does not reset within a round.

A maximum win of 100000x is published by PG Soft for this title; read it as the top of a single round, not a number to organise a session around.

Mahjong Ways 2’s standing among its siblings

Publishing a 25,000x maximum, the original Mahjong Ways evaluates 1,024 ways. What it evaluates is 2,000; what it publishes is 100,000x. Since RTP only inches from 96.92% to 96.95%, the price of the extra headroom is how infrequently it is hit.

Reading Mahjong Ways 2 RTP and volatility against each other

Spread over millions of spins, the published RTP of 96.95% is a long-run average and says nothing about what happens in one evening.

Where this comes from is game data that PG Soft publishes itself, a detail missing from the game page.

Medium volatility is what PG Soft calls it, and the term speaks to the pattern of results instead of their scale.

What the maximum win figure actually means

Mahjong Ways 2 has a published ceiling of 100000x, which is the biggest outcome one round can produce relative to the stake. Only a boundary is being described here, with no target in it, and the odds of any particular outcome fall outside its scope. Even with a very large top prize, a game may pay out small sums nearly every time a payout happens.

Judging a game by its ceiling alone misleads; set it against the volatility to see the full picture. Only in combination do the two describe the game’s shape, and alone each is nearly useless.
