Mahjong Ways 2
Covers Mahjong Ways 2, PG Soft's sequel with adjustable bonus-entry options, and how its volatility and RTP compare with the original title.
A sequel built on a proven formula
Mahjong Ways 2 is PG Soft’s follow-up to its original Mahjong Ways title, keeping the core tile-themed, ways-to-win format that made the first game popular while introducing refinements to the bonus structure and visual presentation. It’s one of several sequels PG Soft has produced for its most successful releases, a pattern also seen with other studios extending their flagship titles.
What changed from the original
Mahjong Ways 2 retains the cascading win mechanic and multiplier accumulation from the first game, but generally offers an adjusted free spins structure, including options like selecting a starting multiplier level or scatter count trade-off before the bonus round begins — a feature that gives players some input into the risk/reward balance of the bonus, without altering the underlying randomness of each spin.
RTP and volatility
Like its predecessor, Mahjong Ways 2 is rated high volatility with an RTP that falls within PG Soft’s typical range for the genre. The added bonus customisation options don’t change the fundamental variance of the game — they simply let a player choose which flavour of high-volatility bonus round they’re entering.
Comparing the two versions
Players familiar with the original Mahjong Ways may want to try the sequel’s demo version first to compare pacing and bonus feel, since the changes, while not dramatic, do shift how the free spins round plays out compared to the first title.
