A catalogue size is not published. A title count isn’t something the studio publishes.

Titles covered on this site

This site has its own page for 3 PG Soft titles: Mahjong Ways 2, Fortune Ox, Fortune Tiger.

PG Soft’s own pages showcase Mahjong Ways 2, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Lucky Neko, and Wild Bandito. What that is, is the studio promoting its own catalogue. It stays silent on which of these a casino carries, and on which ones are covered here.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

An approved-games list from PAGCOR EGLD covers Pocket Games Soft — that’s content approval, not an operator licence. Affiliate sources, rather than PG Soft, are behind the widespread reporting that ranks it among the busiest slot suppliers on PAGCOR-licensed Philippine sites.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

Because PG Soft publishes a return-to-player figure on its own game pages, an RTP quoted for one of its titles can be traced to the studio rather than an aggregator.

Although PG Soft includes RTP within its game data, that figure never displays on the page visitors see, leaving a blank dash where the field should be, while the number itself travels in the data sent with the page. The numbers are real, since every value read this way agreed with independent consensus for the same title. A dash is what a reader checking by eye will find, which is why the correct phrasing stays ‘per PG Soft’s published game data’ instead of ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’.

This matters more than it sounds. A return-to-player figure is only as trustworthy as its source — repetition across comparison sites, absent a primary source, doesn’t make a number true.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, PG Soft lists the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar as authorities. Don’t confuse a studio licence with an operator licence: the former covers the company making the games, the latter the casino offering them, and player recourse runs through the operator’s regulator rather than the studio’s.

  • Malta Gaming Authority — The licence MGA/B2B/435/2017 belongs to Pocket Games Software Limited, registered as C 76195. Status shows as Licensed for a B2B Critical Supply Licence in the casino vertical, per the MGA’s verification portal. A compliance breach led the MGA to suspend the same licence from 29 September 2020, with reinstatement following afterward. Because omitting it would understate how eventful the current status really was, that history is recorded here.
  • PG Soft lists the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar as authorities — PG Soft’s own licensing page displays badges for both. Unlike the MGA licence above, which traces to a public register, these two are simply stated the way PG Soft lists them.
