PG Soft Pokies Guide: Mahjong Ways, Lucky Neko and More
FRENZY96 ·
PG Soft (Pocket Games Soft) is a mobile-first studio known for polished graphics and games built around one signature idea: cascading wins with a win multiplier that keeps climbing. Many of its titles are among the most played pokies in Australia, and several have become series. This guide explains how its best-known games work so you can pick one that suits you.
What PG Soft pokies have in common
Cascading (tumble) wins — winning symbols are removed and new ones fall in, so one spin can pay several times.
A climbing win multiplier — each cascade raises a multiplier, and in free spins the multiplier usually does not reset for the whole round, which is where the big wins come from.
Ways to win, not fixed lines — most games pay for matching symbols on adjacent reels regardless of row.
Mobile first — portrait or landscape play, designed for a phone screen, and they open in your browser at FRENZY96 with no app.
Mahjong Ways and Mahjong Ways 2
Mahjong Ways uses mahjong tiles instead of the usual fruit or cards, on a grid that pays by ways rather than lines. Winning tiles tumble away, new ones drop, and a win multiplier steps up with each cascade. Free spins are triggered by gold symbols, and in that round the multiplier carries over and grows across cascades. Mahjong Ways 2 is the more popular sequel with the same idea and a higher top win.
Lucky Neko
Lucky Neko is built around the Japanese lucky-cat theme. Cascading wins and a growing multiplier drive it, and the free-spins round raises the multiplier faster. It is a higher-volatility game, so expect quiet stretches broken by the occasional large cascade.
Other PG Soft games to know
Treasures of Aztec — an Aztec theme with wild multipliers; a long-running favourite.
Dragon Hatch — a cluster-and-cascade game where symbols pay in groups rather than lines.
Fortune Ox and other Fortune titles — simpler games with a respin or wild feature and a Lunar New Year theme.
Ganesha Gold, Leprechaun Riches, Captain's Bounty, Queen of Bounty — more of the same cascade-and-multiplier engine with different themes.
Tips before you spin
Open the info screen first. PG Soft games show their RTP, features and max win there, and versions of the same game can differ.
These are mostly high-volatility games, so a budget can go quickly in a dry spell. Decide your limit before you start — our budget guide has a simple method.
The free-spins round, where the multiplier keeps building, is where most of the return sits. A bonus-buy button, where offered, jumps to it for a fixed price but does not change your long-run odds.
If a term is unfamiliar, the pokies glossary explains it in plain English.
Yes. PG Soft (Pocket Games Soft) is an established studio that supplies mobile pokies to online casinos worldwide, and several of its games are among the most played in Australia.
What is the most popular PG Soft pokie?
Mahjong Ways 2 is the best known, along with Lucky Neko and Treasures of Aztec. All three use the studio's signature cascading wins and a climbing multiplier.
Where can I find the RTP of a PG Soft game?
In the game's info or rules screen. RTP can differ between games and between versions of the same game, so check the one you are playing.
Are PG Soft pokies high volatility?
Most are. The cascading wins and building multiplier are designed to produce long flat stretches broken by rare large wins, which is the nature of high variance.
