JILI77 PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Titles from PG Soft show up in casino lobbies facing the Philippines, and this page sticks to what the company itself states and leaves out what operators say about it.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. Nowhere does the studio state how many titles it has.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, PG Soft’s listing gives the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar. Do not mix up a studio licence and an operator licence — the former covers the company making the games and not the casino offering them, so a player’s recourse goes through the operator’s regulator and not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Licence MGA/B2B/435/2017 sits with Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195). The status of the B2B Critical Supply Licence, casino vertical, reads Licensed on the MGA’s verification portal. The licence in question was suspended over a compliance breach by the MGA with effect from 29 September 2020, and later reinstated. Here is where that history is recorded, since omitting it would make the current status look less eventful than it was.
• PG Soft’s listing gives the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar — PG Soft’s own licensing page is where badges for both appear. Unlike the MGA licence above, which was traced to a public register, these two are stated as PG Soft lists them.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 5 PG Soft titles: Mahjong Ways 2, Wild Bandito, Wild Bounty Showdown, Lucky Neko, Mahjong Ways.

PG Soft itself puts these titles forward on its own pages: Mahjong Ways 2, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Lucky Neko, Wild Bandito. Put plainly, the studio is using that space to show off its own catalogue. Which of them a casino carries, and which have pages here, is not covered by it.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

Pocket Games Soft appears on a PAGCOR EGLD approved-games list, a content approval and not an operator licence. On PAGCOR-licensed Philippine sites, PG Soft is widely reported as one of the most-played slot suppliers; that reporting comes from affiliate sources rather than from PG Soft.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

An RTP for a PG Soft title can be traced straight to the studio, because the studio publishes a return-to-player figure on its own game pages and not through an aggregator.

Without rendering it on the visitor’s page, PG Soft publishes RTP in its game data: the visible field is a blank dash, and the figure sits in the data the server sends with the page. That method produced values that each matched independent consensus for the same title, so the numbers are real. That said, the correct phrasing is ‘per PG Soft’s published game data’, as opposed to ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’, since a dash turns up when a reader checks by eye.

This matters more than it sounds. A return-to-player figure is worth only as much as its source, and a number passed around comparison sites with no primary source behind it proves nothing.

Playing PG Soft games at JILI77

1. Once you have signed in at JILI77, the game lobby is the next stop.
2. Choose PG Soft from the lobby filter, or search by a title’s name.
3. The stake range and paytable sit on a game’s info screen, so open it first.
4. Decide on a session budget before you play, and keep the stake low while a new title is unfamiliar.
