Notable PG Soft games
The titles below are among PG Soft's best known. The RTP (return to player) and volatility figures come only from PG Soft's own game information sheets. RTP is a long-run theoretical average worked out over millions of spins. It does not predict any single session.
- Mahjong Ways: PG Soft's first mahjong-themed game. It is a 5-reel, 4-row video slot where symbols can turn into Wilds. Three Scatters trigger 12 free spins, each extra Scatter adds two more, and free-spin wins can be multiplied by up to x10 (per PG Soft's launch announcement).
- Fortune Tiger: A compact "classic / Asian" game. PG Soft lists a theoretical RTP of 96.81% and a maximum win of 2,500x the bet. In the random Fortune Tiger Feature, the reels respin, and if every symbol is part of a win, the win is multiplied by x10.
- Treasures of Aztec: Tagged by PG Soft as "classic / Mayan / collapse". PG Soft lists an RTP of 96.71%, medium session volatility and a theoretical maximum win of 100,000x.
- Wild Bandito: A Western-themed title with a listed RTP of 96.73%, medium session volatility and a theoretical maximum win of 25,000x.
What PG Soft games are known for
- Mobile-first design. PG Soft calls itself a mobile game development company. Its games are built for phones first and then scaled to desktop.
- Asian and mythological themes. Mahjong, lucky tigers and oxen, gods of fortune and ancient civilisations come up again and again in the catalogue.
- Collapsing (cascading) reels. In games like Treasures of Aztec, winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in, so one spin can produce several wins in a row.
- Multipliers that grow during features. In Mahjong Ways, for example, the multiplier increases with each consecutive win, especially during free spins.
- Clear published maths. PG Soft releases game information sheets that list RTP, session volatility and maximum win, which makes its games easier to compare than many rivals'.
Mobile and HTML5
PG Soft builds its games for mobile browsers first, using modern web technology (HTML5), so no app download is needed on licensed platforms. Because the games are designed around a phone screen, the layouts are usually large and easy to read. In our experience, many of them also work well held in portrait orientation.
