JILI GAMES PG Soft: Licences, RTP Policy & Catalogue

PG Soft hands its games to operators and runs no casino of its own, and that difference colours everything below.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. How many titles the studio has is something it does not say.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

For Pocket Games Soft, PAGCOR EGLD keeps an approved-games list, which approves content and confers no operator licence. Most of the talk that PG Soft is a top slot supplier at Philippine sites holding a PAGCOR licence comes from affiliate sources and not from PG Soft.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

With a return-to-player figure shown on its own game pages, PG Soft gives its titles an RTP that leads back to the studio itself and not to an aggregator.

PG Soft publishes RTP only inside the data the server sends with the page; the field a visitor can read shows a blank dash instead. For every title, a value read that way agreed with independent consensus, which makes the numbers real. Say ‘per PG Soft’s published game data’, never ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’, because anybody who checks by eye will find only a dash.

This matters more than it sounds. What makes a return-to-player figure trustworthy is its source, and repetition between comparison sites without a primary source is not evidence of anything.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 4 PG Soft titles: Fortune Ox, Wild Bandito, Treasures of Aztec, Wild Bounty Showdown.

PG Soft puts Wild Bandito, Fortune Ox, Mahjong Ways 2, Lucky Neko and Fortune Tiger forward on its own pages. Nothing more than the studio promoting its own catalogue. Which casinos carry any of them is left unsaid, as is which ones have pages on this site.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission together with Gibraltar, taken from PG Soft’s list. What a studio holds and what an operator holds are separate licences: one covers the games’ maker, the other the casino offering them, and players seeking recourse deal with the operator’s regulator instead of the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Licensee for MGA/B2B/435/2017 is Pocket Games Software Limited, whose company reference is C 76195. A B2B Critical Supply Licence in the casino vertical carries the status Licensed on the MGA’s verification portal. 29 September 2020 is when the MGA suspended the very same licence for a compliance breach; it has since been reinstated. Without this history written down, the current status would appear less eventful than it truly was, so it is included.
• UK Gambling Commission together with Gibraltar, taken from PG Soft’s list — The licensing page on PG Soft’s own site carries badges for both. PG Soft’s listing is the basis for these two, while a public register was traced for the MGA licence above.

Finding PG Soft titles in a lobby

1. In the casino you sign up with, filter the games by studio or search a PG Soft title by its name.
2. Every casino picks its own share of the PG Soft catalogue, so a missing title is that lobby’s choice.
3. Open the title’s info screen and read its stake range and paytable before the first round.
4. Try any new PG Soft game at the smallest stake, inside a budget set beforehand.
