This section covers 5 game providers entries. Mistaking a game studio for a casino is the most frequent error here, as the two are different companies under different regulators. Studios behind the titles in Philippine-facing lobbies are the subject of these pages, covering who they are, what they are actually licensed to do, and whether anyone can check a return-to-player figure they publish.

Each of the 5 pages covers one entry, not a summary of several. If a field above says “not published”, the entry’s own page explains whose job it was to publish it.
Each entry in a paragraph
Each one gets only the detail needed to point you to the page that matters.
JILI explained
It names no headquarters and gives no year of founding. Bingo sits alongside slots, fishing games, and table and card games in its catalogue.
Opening its page, the first record you meet is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). Approved electronic games on the PAGCOR EGLD list include titles from JILI.
It publishes no RTP. No figure is quoted on this site for its titles, and the numbers found elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict each other.
Pragmatic Play in full
Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Its range spans slots, live casino, bingo, crash games, virtual sports.
Malta Gaming Authority comes first among the records listed on its page. Registered against Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, licence MGA/B2B/619/2018 is the relevant permit.
A figure quoted for any of its titles traces straight back to the studio, since the studio publishes RTP. A single RTP per title appears on Pragmatic’s game pages, and it represents the upper end of a set.
PG Soft explained
Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.
Malta Gaming Authority comes first among the records listed on its page. Under licence MGA/B2B/435/2017, Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) is the holder.
A figure quoted for any of its titles traces straight back to the studio, since the studio publishes RTP. PG Soft does publish RTP in its game data, but the page a visitor sees does not render it: the visible field shows a blank dash while the number lives in the data the server sends with the page.
JDB Gaming explained
It names no headquarters and gives no year of founding. Builds fish shooting games, slots.
Opening its page, the first record you meet is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). An approval list covering game content is on PAGCOR’s own site.
It publishes no RTP. No figure is quoted on this site for its titles, and the numbers found elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict each other.
CQ9 Gaming in full
It names no headquarters and gives no year of founding. Its catalogue takes in slots, fishing games, table games, arcade games.
Opening its page, the first record you meet is PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR keeps a list on its own site, and that list is how content for games gets approved.
It publishes no RTP. No figure is quoted on this site for its titles, and the numbers found elsewhere are third-party estimates that contradict each other.
Details of game providers can be checked inside the game itself
Nobody is asking you to simply believe what is written here. Public registers supplied every licence claim made on these pages, and anyone can open those registers:
- Search the company name, and not the brand name, in the MGA authorisation portal to check a Malta licence. Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence is held by Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited, not by anything called Pragmatic Play, since the licensee is often a differently named subsidiary.
- A UK licence is checked by entering the account number into the Gambling Commission public register. The record for an active licence lists its activities and when each began, and the same record shows any regulatory settlement involving the holder.
- Confirming a PAGCOR EGLD listing starts with the approved-games PDF the studio has posted on pagcor.ph. Game content for licensed operators is what it approves, so read it that way. A studio holds a licence only if the document says it does.
- To find an RTP figure, go to the studio’s page for that exact title. No comparison site can fill in a figure that is missing there, and when two of them contradict each other, the contradiction itself tells you what you need to know.
The thing most often got wrong here
A PAGCOR operator licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing are the two things to tell apart above all. When a studio appears on the EGLD, PAGCOR has approved its game content for the operators it licenses. The studio holds no licence through it, and it tells you nothing about a casino that carries those games.
Only that single record exists for four of the seven studios below. Because “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” are one word apart and worlds apart, each of their pages spells this out in plain words, and the second is what a reader is usually hoping to have found.
Finding game providers at LARO77

- Search for a title by name, or narrow the lobby to a studio.

- Settle on a session budget first and play a low stake with studios new to you.
FAQ
Does each studio here publish an RTP figure, and which ones do?
Pragmatic Play, PG Soft. For those, this site prints no RTP at all instead of taking one from a comparison site.
Does a studio licence protect a player?
Not directly. Licensing a studio means licensing the company that makes the games. If something goes wrong, you go through the operator's regulator, which is a separate licence held by a separate company.
Does LARO77 carry all of these studios?
Open Games in the LARO77 lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Each studio is described on these pages using only what its own record shows.
Is a PAGCOR licence one thing and a PAGCOR EGLD listing another, and how?
An EGLD listing signs off a studio's game content for the operators PAGCOR licenses to use. What authorises an operator to run a casino is the PAGCOR licence it holds. Count four studios here holding the first; the second is held by not a single one of them.
What explains the missing founding year or headquarters on certain studios here?
Because they do not publish one. Neither figure appears on the sites of JILI, JDB Gaming and CQ9 Gaming themselves. Listicles run by affiliates pass round figures for both without any primary source, and this page repeats none of them.
Should you treat a GLI or BMM certification as evidence that a game is fair?
An independent test laboratory has put the random number generator and the paytable up against a standard, and that is all it means. It counts for something, yet it is a different thing from a licence, and neither says a word about the operator that offers the game.
