188JILI PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Everything below depends on one point: PG Soft sells games to operators and does not run a casino of its own.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. Nowhere does the studio state how many titles there are.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, Listing from PG Soft: UK Gambling Commission, Gibraltar. Do not confuse a studio licence with an operator licence — the former covers whoever makes the games and not the casino offering them, and recourse for a player lies with the operator’s regulator, not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Behind MGA/B2B/435/2017 stands Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) as holder. Licensed status is listed on the MGA’s verification portal against the casino vertical’s B2B Critical Supply Licence. The same licence had been suspended by the MGA, with effect from 29 September 2020, on account of a compliance breach, and was reinstated in time. That history is logged here since without it, the current status would look less eventful than it was.
• Listing from PG Soft: UK Gambling Commission, Gibraltar — The two badges are visible on PG Soft’s own licensing page. Public register tracing applies to the MGA licence above; PG Soft’s listing is how these two are stated.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

PAGCOR EGLD keeps an approved-games list on which Pocket Games Soft appears, and this is content approval, not an operator licence. Though widely reported, the description of PG Soft as one of the most-played slot suppliers on PAGCOR-licensed Philippine sites originates with affiliate sources instead of PG Soft.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 2 PG Soft titles: Fortune Ox, Wild Bounty Showdown.

Look at PG Soft’s own pages and the titles it chooses to feature are Mahjong Ways 2, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Lucky Neko, Wild Bandito. The studio’s own catalogue is what it is promoting there. It does not say which of them any casino carries, or which have pages here.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

PG Soft publishes a return-to-player figure on its own game pages, so when an RTP is quoted for one of its titles, you can trace it to the studio instead of an aggregator.

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. When values were read that way, all of them matched independent consensus for the same title, so the numbers are real. To stay correct, phrase it ‘per PG Soft’s published game data’ instead of ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’, since anyone checking by eye will find a dash.

This matters more than it sounds. Without a primary source behind it, a return-to-player figure is worth no more than where it came from, and a number echoed between comparison sites proves nothing.
