JILIEVO PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

The subject of this page is the studio PG Soft, and not any operator that carries it. Material from the company itself and public regulator records is where what follows comes from.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. The studio itself offers no tally of its titles.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

Because PG Soft lists a return-to-player number on its own game pages, an RTP quoted for any of its titles can be followed to the studio itself and not to an aggregator.

PG Soft keeps RTP inside its game data, though the page a visitor loads never shows it, that field renders as a blank dash even while the number rides along in the payload the server delivers for that page. Because independent consensus agreed, title for title, with every value read that way, these numbers stand as real. Still, ‘per PG Soft’s published game data’ is the correct phrasing, not ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’ — checking by eye turns up only a dash.

This matters more than it sounds. A return-to-player figure can only be trusted as far as its source goes, and a number passed around between comparison sites with no primary source behind it proves nothing.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, PG Soft’s own list names the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar as its two authorities. An operator licence and a studio licence are different things, since the studio one covers the company making the games and not the casino offering them, and a player’s recourse goes through the operator’s regulator, not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — MGA/B2B/435/2017 is the licence number registered to Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195). The MGA’s verification portal shows a B2B Critical Supply Licence, casino vertical, with status Licensed. 29 September 2020 is when the MGA pulled that licence over a compliance breach, restoring it again at a later point. Skipping this background would make the present status look calmer than it truly was, so it’s recorded here instead.
• PG Soft’s own list names the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar as its two authorities — PG Soft’s own licensing page carries a badge marking each of the two. Only the licence from MGA noted above has a public register behind it; the remaining pair simply mirrors PG Soft’s own listing.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 2 PG Soft titles: Fortune Ox, Mahjong Ways 2.

These titles are featured by PG Soft itself on its own pages: Mahjong Ways 2, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Lucky Neko, Wild Bandito. What you see there is the studio advertising its own catalogue. Which casinos carry any of them is not covered, and neither is which of them have pages here.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

Pocket Games Soft is named on a PAGCOR EGLD approved-games list, and that means content approval, not an operator licence. You’ll often see PG Soft named among the top slot suppliers on PAGCOR-licensed Philippine sites, though that ranking comes from affiliates, not PG Soft.
