PG Soft

Say Hello to PG Soft

PG Soft — or Pocket Games Soft if we’re being formal — has been around since 2015.

In that time, the Malta-based studio built up a reputation as one of the biggest names in mobile slots.

While some studios struggle to make their desktop games “work” on phones, PG Soft flips the script.

As their name implies, they build for mobile first, creating literal “pocket games,” and then optimising for desktop further down the line. 

They're also one of the few studios that can pull off both quality and quantity, with over 100 titles under their belt.

Their main focus is slots, but they have pulled off a few of their own bespoke table game variants, like Baccarat Deluxe in 2018.  

In a world where slot providers are pumping their games full of complicated mechanics that make your head spin, PG Soft always offers a breath of fresh air, keeping things largely easy-to-understand but still full of life with simple, yet rewarding, features. 

If you're interested in learning more about PG Soft, make sure you stick around. 

Slots Built For Your Pocket

Yeah, we're all glued to our phones, and PG Soft plays into that. 

That's why they didn't just adapt to the advent of mobile phones and casino apps; they were born there.

Right from the start, the studio focused on making slots that look and feel amazing on smaller screens. 

All of PG Soft's games use HTML5 technology, lightweight file sizes, and vertical friendly layouts, so everything loads fast without eating up your data. 

Their specialisation has paid off, too. They've won multiple accolades, including the Best Mobile Game Provider at the International Gaming Awards in 2022.

But the best part is that none of that polish is lost when you play their games on desktop, as they support all five major devices: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and HTML5. 

PG Soft’s mobile-first philosophy means you can switch between devices seamlessly, with the same crisp visuals and bonus-packed action wherever you spin.

PG Soft's Most Popular Releases

PG Soft is easily among the top slot providers out there, regularly putting out games that capture the hearts (and wallets) of their fanbase.

Each release is packed with polished graphics, fun characters, incredible max wins, and fair RTPs; what's not to love?

Check out their titles that we think are the most popular below. 

Highs and Lows: PG Soft's Volatility Levels

If all slots were the same, the world would be a very boring place indeed.

That's why PG Soft's slot library covers the full volatility spectrum, from chilled, low-risk titles with regular small wins to high-volatility titles that can have you on the edge of your seat. 

If you're the type of player who prefers steady wins and longer sessions, PG Soft has plenty of low volatility games that keep things moving. Think Dragon Tiger Luck or Incan Wonders, with respectable RTPs (96%~) and fun features too. 

The vast majority of their games sit in the middle of the road with medium volatility, offering the best of both worlds. We're talking Mahjong Ways, Wild Bandito, and Lucky Piggy here. 

If you prefer that thrill of all-or-nothing, they've also got some high-volatility slots like Double Fortune and Wild Bounty Showdown, where it's all about chasing jaw-dropping multipliers and max wins. 

This variety is part of what makes PG Soft so popular, with a volatility level to suit every kind of player. 

Streaming PG Soft Slots

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in years of streaming and writing slot reviews, it’s that PG Soft slots are an instant crowd-pleaser.

Their bold themes and fast-paced gameplay translate perfectly to streaming, keeping us and the chat on our toes whenever we're live on Kick or YouTube. 

Here's one of our biggest wins from PG Soft's Wild Ape #3258. 

Our Favourite PG Soft Game (Of All Time)

Speaking of Wild Ape #3258, we'd actually go so far as to say it's our favourite PG Soft slot. 

With the name of our site being Hideous Slots, it should be no surprise that we love slots that are wacky, different, and downright weird.

That's exactly why we love Wild Ape #3258, which also comes with a hefty max win of 10,000x to show that even ‘simple' slots can pack a punch. 

The inspiration for this slot came from PG Soft's acquisition of the NFT character, Bored Ape #3258, from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection.

This collectible art features a hip-hop-style ape decked out in streetwear, with a striped shirt, black hat, and signature ‘chad' look, to make the main character in Wild Ape #3258. 

This 6×6 video slot features an array of symbols like half-eaten bananas, pizzas, whiskey, solid gold watches, and the ape himself, to invoke the potentially baller lifestyle of an NFT-holder. 

Like many PG Soft releases, things are kept nice and simple (just the way we like it) with up to 32,400 different paylines, almost like Megaways slots.

There are also wild transformations, free spins, and the Wild Bored Ape feature, which offers stacking multipliers.

The Fortune Series

If there’s one thing PG Soft knows how to do, it’s take a good idea and spin it into a whole slot series — and nothing shows that better than their Fortune slots.

In case you're unfamiliar, these games are basically PG Soft's own spin on the traditional Chinese zodiac animals, often complete with ‘drippy' urban outfits and hip-hop swagger. 

These games are arguably what PG Soft is known for, becoming a staple associated with the brand. They're perfect for players who enjoy quick-hit gameplay on the go with a touch of personality. 

They're usually on the simpler side, with standard square grids and fewer paylines, but don't let this fool you.

The max wins of Fortune series slots can still climb quite high, and their compact grids make them a favourite for mobile play.

Here are all the Fortune slots by PG Soft so far. 

• Fortune Tiger
• Fortune Mouse
• Fortune Ox
• Fortune Rabbit
• Fortune Dragon
• Fortune Snake

The Many Faces of PG Soft

Like most big-name providers, PG Soft has dipped their toes into just about every slot theme you can imagine over the years. You name it, they've (probably) done it. 

Their portfolio isn't the biggest out there, but it's definitely varied.

Rather than sticking to one niche, they've built a library that feels like a pick ‘n' mix bag, and as their tagline says: difference makes all the difference. 

Here are four of the most common themes you'll come across when you're scrolling your way through PG Soft's games.

Latest Releases

We've already briefly mentioned that PG Soft is one of the rare studios manages to balance both quality and quantity.

But how often do they actually release new games? 

Well, with their team of over 200 employees spread out across the globe, PG Soft has the firepower to keep new slots coming.

On average, you'll see around one or two new slots per month.

This is a pretty good sweet spot for keeping things fresh without overwhelming players. 

Here are a few of their latest releases you might want to give a try. 

PG Soft Worldwide, Baby

Licensed in multiple countries and supporting 173+ currencies and 44 different languages, PG Soft is one of the few studios that has a global reach. 

This means that their games are enjoyed by players from around the globe, which, when paired with their mobile-first design, means a lot of gaming on the go! 

In fact, PG Soft slots are enjoyed by players in exactly 103 countries.

But there's one region that takes the crown for being the biggest fans of PG Soft…

And that's Asia, which accounts for around 40% of their total player base, and is well-liked in SEA (Southeast Asia) hotspots like the Philippines and Malaysia. 

It's not hard to see why. 

Many of their games draw directly from Asian culture. Take the Fortune series we've already talked about as an example, or the Mahjong Ways games.

In other PG Soft slots, too, you'll meet everything from cute Asian cats in Lucky Neko and anime-inspired girls in Bikini Paradise to gritty criminal warlords in Yakuza Honor and well-trained ninjas in Ninja vs. Samurai. 

By mixing local flavour with universal slot mechanics, PG Soft has carved out a catalogue that feels both familiar and fresh. It’s this balance that’s helped them build such a loyal global fanbase.

Closing Thoughts on PG Soft

PG Soft might not have any groundbreaking mechanics, but their slots feel like home: safe, simple, and reliable.

Their games cover a whole range of themes, volatility levels, and playful twists, there's easily something a PG Soft slot out there for everyone.

And since their titles are quick to load and easy to get into, they're great for those “one more spin” moments on your phone. 

We can safely say that with PG Soft games, difference does, in fact, make all the difference.

So, if you haven't tried PG Soft yet, maybe today's the day to change that.
