Game Design
Theme and Graphics
The Mahjong Ways 2 slot is built around a mahjong table dressed in red and gold, with carved tiles, coins and a lacquered board. The art direction is clean rather than cinematic, which is the right call for a game where you need to track 2,000 ways at a glance.
Sounds and Gameplay Experience
Wins cascade across 2,000 ways, golden Mahjong symbols in a win turn into Wilds, and the multiplier increases with consecutive wins.
Session length is entirely under your control.
Bonuses and Symbols
Symbols in the Game
The Mahjong Ways 2 symbol set is built from mahjong tiles, with golden Mahjong versions, a Wild and a Scatter on top.
Golden Mahjong symbols are the ones to watch: when they are part of a winning spin they are converted into Wild symbols. That is what keeps a medium volatility title feeling active.
Bonus Rounds and Free Spins
During the Free Spins Feature, the maximum bonus multiplier value is increased up to 10 times, according to PG Soft.
All symbols on reel 3, excluding the Wild and the Scatter, turn into golden Mahjong symbols during the free spins, and golden symbols in a win become Wilds. That is where the top wins live, under the 100,000x cap.
Paytable and Winning Combinations
The provider does not publish symbol values on the official game page, so open the paytable inside the game for the values at your stake.
Jackpot
PG Soft’s game card lists no jackpot for Mahjong Ways 2. The 100,000x maximum is the top of the game.
That keeps the maths simple: every payout comes from the paytable and the features.
Mobile Device Compatibility
PG Soft builds mobile-first, and the 5-reel, 4-row (plus an extra row on reels 2, 3 and 4) grid scales to a phone screen without cropping the reel area.
There is no dedicated app to install.
How Mahjong Ways 2 Plays
Mahjong Ways 2 runs on five reels with 4-5-5-5-4 rows and pays across 2,000 ways. Wins cascade: paying tiles vanish and new tiles drop in, and each cascade in the same spin pushes the multiplier up. Golden Mahjong tiles on the middle reels turn into Wilds when they are part of a win, which keeps the chain going.
The free spins carry a higher multiplier track, up to 10x, and reel 3 can go fully golden, so the feature is where most of the value sits. PG Soft lists the RTP at 96.95%, the volatility as Medium and the max win at 100,000x. The game was released on 14.04.2020 as the sequel to the original Mahjong Ways.
Advantages and Disadvantages

Limitations
100,000x is a cap, not a target. Reaching it needs the multipliers to stack at their best.
Free spins carry most of the value. The base game is the wait for scatters.
Medium volatility still has dry runs.
Base game wins are mostly small. Small wins dominate most sessions.
