PanaloKO PG Soft Games — Studio, Licences & Titles

Titles from PG Soft appear across Philippine-facing casino lobbies, and this page covers what the company itself states, setting aside what operators say about it.

Who PG Soft is

A catalogue size is not published. No count of titles comes from the studio.

PG Soft in the Philippine market

Pocket Games Soft shows up on a PAGCOR EGLD approved-games list, and what that list gives is content approval, never an operator licence. Many reports describe PG Soft as one of the most-played slot suppliers on Philippine sites licensed by PAGCOR, yet those reports originate with affiliate sources, not with PG Soft.

Whether PG Soft publishes RTP

Because PG Soft puts a return-to-player figure on its own game pages, you can trace an RTP quoted for one of its titles back to the studio and not to an aggregator.

PG Soft puts RTP in its game data without displaying it to visitors, whose page shows a blank dash in that field, while the number itself travels in the data the server delivers with the page. The numbers are real, as each value read that way agreed with independent consensus for the same title. Even so, write ‘per PG Soft’s published game data’ and not ‘as shown on PG Soft’s page’, because someone checking by eye will see only a dash.

This matters more than it sounds. A return-to-player figure is worth no more than its source; when comparison sites repeat a number and none has a primary source, it proves nothing.

Licences the studio holds

PG Soft is recorded as holding: Malta Gaming Authority, Both the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar feature on PG Soft’s list. Two different things are easy to mix up: a studio licence covers the company making the games, while an operator licence covers the casino offering them, and any recourse for a player goes through the operator’s regulator, not the studio’s.

• Malta Gaming Authority — The holder named for Licence MGA/B2B/435/2017 is Pocket Games Software Limited (C 76195). Casino vertical entries on the MGA’s verification portal include a B2B Critical Supply Licence, and its status there is Licensed. The MGA suspended the same licence over a compliance breach, effective 29 September 2020, and afterwards reinstated it. The current status would seem less eventful than it was without that history, so it is recorded here.
• Both the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar feature on PG Soft’s list — On the licensing page that PG Soft maintains itself, a badge is displayed for each of the two. Only the MGA licence above can be traced to a public register, and the other two are reported exactly as PG Soft lists them.

PG Soft’s own pages put forward these titles: Mahjong Ways 2, Fortune Tiger, Fortune Ox, Lucky Neko, Wild Bandito. Here the studio is simply advertising its own catalogue. Whether a casino carries any of them goes unaddressed, as does whether this site has pages for them.
