LARO77 PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Operators receive games from PG Soft, which does not run a casino itself, and that distinction shapes everything below.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. Title totals are absent from what the studio states.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, What PG Soft puts down is the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar. An operator licence and a studio licence are different things: the studio licence covers the company that makes the games and not the casino offering them, so a player’s recourse goes through the operator’s regulator, not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — Under licence MGA/B2B/435/2017, Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195) is the holder. A B2B Critical Supply Licence covering the casino vertical shows the status Licensed on the MGA’s verification portal. A compliance breach led the MGA to suspend the same licence with effect from 29 September 2020; it was subsequently reinstated. The reason this history is recorded here is that omitting it would make the current status look less eventful than it was.
• What PG Soft puts down is the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar — Both badges turn up on the licensing page PG Soft maintains itself. Of the licences, the MGA one above is traced to a public register, and these two are taken as PG Soft lists them.

Titles covered on this site

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

Five titles get the spotlight on PG Soft’s own pages: Mahjong Ways 2, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Lucky Neko, Wild Bandito. That amounts to a studio advertising its own catalogue. Which of them a casino carries is left unsaid, and so is which ones have pages here.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

For Pocket Games Soft, a PAGCOR EGLD approved-games list exists; it is content approval and should not be mistaken for an operator licence. Affiliate sources, not PG Soft, are behind the widespread reporting that PG Soft is one of the most-played slot suppliers on PAGCOR-licensed Philippine sites.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

An RTP quoted for a PG Soft title can be traced straight to the studio, since PG Soft puts a return-to-player figure on its own game pages and no aggregator is involved.

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. Reading values that way always gave a match with independent consensus for the same title, so the numbers hold up. Nonetheless, write ‘per PG Soft’s published game data’ and avoid ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’ — checking by eye, a reader will find a dash.

This matters more than it sounds. Where a return-to-player figure has no primary source, only recycled between comparison sites, it tells you nothing; the figure counts for as much as where it came from.
