How it plays
PG Soft's first mahjong-tile slot is a 5-reel, 4-row game paying 1,024 ways, with default bets of €0.20 to €50. Winning symbols are removed and new ones cascade down, and a win-multiplier above the reels steps up ×1 → ×2 → ×3 → ×5 with each consecutive cascade.
The published RTP is 96.92% with medium session volatility and a 28.54% hit rate.
On reels 2–4, gold-plated symbols that take part in a win transform into Wilds for the next cascade.
Bonus features
Three Scatters award 12 free spins (+2 per extra Scatter, retriggerable). During free spins the cascade multipliers are upgraded to ×2, ×4, ×6 and ×10.
The advertised theoretical maximum win is 25,000× the bet; PG Soft's own 1-billion-spin simulation recorded a top result of 2,893×.
Verdict
Mahjong Ways launched PG Soft's most successful franchise. The gold-symbol-to-Wild transformation plus escalating cascade multipliers give it far more depth than the studio's 3×3 Fortune games, and it remains a staple in Asian-facing casino lobbies.
