188JILI Game Providers — Every Studio Covered Here

Mixing up a game studio and a casino is the most frequent error in this area, though the two are separate companies answering to separate regulators. If a studio’s titles appear in Philippine-facing lobbies, these pages cover it: its identity, what its licences genuinely allow, and whether the return-to-player figure it publishes is one anyone can check. There are 7 pages below.

Everything in this section

Each of its 7 pages takes up one entry alone and does not summarise several. Whenever a field above is marked “not published”, the entry’s own page names the party who would have needed to publish it.

Each entry in a paragraph

That is all each one needs to say for you to pick the page that merits opening.

JILI explained

Neither a founding year nor a headquarters is given. Slots, fishing games, table and card games and bingo are its line of work.

First on its page comes the record for PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). JILI titles are listed by PAGCOR EGLD as approved electronic games.

It publishes no RTP. Third-party estimates for its titles contradict one another, and for that reason this site gives no figure of its own.

The Evolution entry

Founded 2006, based in Stockholm, Sweden. Builds live dealer casino, live game shows.

The page opens its list of records with Malta Gaming Authority. Evolution Gaming Malta Limited is listed as holder of the licence MGA/CRP/187/2010.

Anything quoted as the RTP of one of its titles has a traceable origin in the studio, since the studio publishes RTP. Recorded as publishing RTP, because third-party sources consistently report the RTP figures that Evolution’s game-show titles carry..

The FA CHAI Gaming entry

Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. What it builds: slots, 3D fishing games, arcade games and table games.

Curacao Gaming Authority appears as the first record on its page. WiseInNet Technologies B.V. is covered by licence OGL/2024/1184/1010.

Anything quoted as the RTP of one of its titles has a traceable origin in the studio, since the studio publishes RTP. FA CHAI stands out among the seven studios as the most checkable, with RTP displayed on its public games listing..

JDB Gaming explained

Neither a founding year nor a headquarters is given. Builds fish shooting games, slots.

First on its page comes the record for PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR itself publishes a game-content approval list for anyone to consult.

It publishes no RTP. Third-party estimates for its titles contradict one another, and for that reason this site gives no figure of its own.

CQ9 Gaming in full

Neither a founding year nor a headquarters is given. It builds slots, fishing games, table games, arcade games.

First on its page comes the record for PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). There is a game-content approval list on PAGCOR’s own site.

It publishes no RTP. Third-party estimates for its titles contradict one another, and for that reason this site gives no figure of its own.

Pragmatic Play in full

Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. What it builds ranges across slots, live casino, bingo, crash games and virtual sports.

The page opens its list of records with Malta Gaming Authority. Held by Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited under licence MGA/B2B/619/2018.

Anything quoted as the RTP of one of its titles has a traceable origin in the studio, since the studio publishes RTP. Each title gets one RTP on Pragmatic’s own game pages, which is the top figure of a set.

PG Soft explained

Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.

The page opens its list of records with Malta Gaming Authority. Behind MGA/B2B/435/2017 stands Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) as holder.

Anything quoted as the RTP of one of its titles has a traceable origin in the studio, since the studio publishes RTP. PG Soft puts RTP in its game data and leaves it off the rendered page: visitors see a blank dash, and the figure sits in the data the server sends with the page.

The thing most often got wrong here

What you most need to separate here is a PAGCOR operator licence from a PAGCOR EGLD listing, because they are different things. When a studio appears on an EGLD listing, that signals PAGCOR has cleared its game content for the operators it licenses. The studio does not hold a licence through it, and it reveals nothing about any casino that carries those games.

That single entry is all that four of the seven studios below can show. Every one of their pages states this plainly, as “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” differ by one word but not in meaning, and readers usually hope for the second.

Details about the game provider are found by opening the game itself

You do not have to take any of this on trust. Public registers back every licence claim on these pages, and anyone is free to open them:

1. Company name, not brand name, is what to type into the MGA authorisation portal when you want a Malta licence. Licences often sit with a subsidiary under a different name; Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence, for instance, is held by Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, and no entity named Pragmatic Play has it.
2. To check a UK licence, enter the account number in the Gambling Commission public register. A holder’s active licence appears together with its activities and their start dates, and the same record lists any regulatory settlement against that holder.
3. Checking a PAGCOR EGLD listing starts at pagcor.ph, where the studio’s approved-games PDF sits. Pay attention to what the approval applies to, which is game content for licensed operators. Where the document is silent about a studio holding a licence, treat that studio as unlicensed.
4. The studio’s own page for that specific title is where an RTP figure is found. Should the figure be absent there, no comparison site can fill the gap, and two comparison sites that disagree have told you something in that disagreement.
