JL59 PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Games go from PG Soft to operators, since PG Soft does not run a casino itself, and that distinction shapes everything below.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. Nothing on the studio’s side gives a number of titles.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

An RTP quoted for a PG Soft title leads to the studio, not an aggregator, because its own game pages carry a return-to-player figure.

RTP is available from PG Soft in its game data but is not rendered on the visitor’s page, where the visible field is a blank dash; the figure comes in the data the server sends with the page. A match with independent consensus for the same title was found for every value read that way, so the numbers are real. ‘Per PG Soft’s published game data’ is still the correct phrasing here; ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’ is not, as an eye check by a reader ends at a dash.

This matters more than it sounds. No return-to-player figure is better than its source, so a number that merely gets passed around comparison sites, backed by no primary source, counts as evidence of nothing.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

Regarding Pocket Games Soft, the PAGCOR EGLD approved-games list is in place, though it is content approval and no operator licence. One of the most-played slot suppliers on PAGCOR-licensed Philippine sites, so PG Soft is widely reported to be; the reporting is affiliate-sourced and not from PG Soft.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 3 PG Soft titles: Wild Bounty Showdown, Mahjong Ways 2, Wild Bandito.

On its own pages PG Soft itself promotes these games: Mahjong Ways 2, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Lucky Neko and Wild Bandito. This amounts to a studio advertising its own catalogue. It gives no indication of which a casino carries or which ones are covered by pages on this site.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar appear where PG Soft lists its authorities. Do not read a studio licence as an operator licence — it covers the games’ maker, not the casino offering them, and a player turns to the operator’s regulator for recourse rather than the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) is what the MGA/B2B/435/2017 licence lists as its holder. The B2B Critical Supply Licence for the casino vertical is shown with status Licensed when looked up on the MGA’s verification portal. Reinstated later, the same licence was suspended by the MGA from 29 September 2020 over a compliance breach. If the history were not recorded, the current status would look less eventful than it was; that is the reason it appears.
• UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar appear where PG Soft lists its authorities — On PG Soft’s licensing page you will find badges for both. Only the MGA licence above is traced to a public register, with these two stated as PG Soft lists them.
