Mahjong Ways Game Story
Mahjong was born from ancient Chinese wisdom. It spread from China across the world and took root everywhere it landed. A classic Chinese chess game — beloved by millions, mastered by few.
PG Soft built their very first Mahjong-inspired slot game around that legacy. Mahjong Ways brings the tiles to the reels. Every Gold Plated symbol is a piece turning in your favor. Every cascade is a hand building toward something greater. Every multiplier climb is a skilled player growing stronger with every draw.
The Free Spins Feature is your proving ground. Multipliers reach x10. Wilds flood the reels. One winning streak is all it takes to separate the players from the masters.

PG Mahjong Ways Game Features
Three mechanics drive this PG Soft slot game — Gold Plated Symbols, the Multiplier, and the Free Spins Feature. Gold Plated symbols transform into Wilds after winning rounds. The Multiplier climbs with every consecutive win. The Free Spins Feature pushes that multiplier to x10.
Gold Plated Symbols
During any spin, some symbols on reels 2, 3, and/or 4 may appear in gold — excluding Wild and Scatter symbols.
- After new symbols cascade down, any Gold Plated symbol involved in a win in the previous round transforms into a Wild symbol.
- Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Scatter symbols.
- Gold Plated symbols only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4.
One Gold Plated symbol in a winning combination can extend a cascade chain across multiple rounds.
Multiplier
All wins multiply by the multiplier shown above the reels. The multiplier starts at x1 and increases with every consecutive winning round.
- Win once — the next round multiplies by x2.
- Win twice — the next round multiplies by x3.
- Win three times or more — the multiplier locks at x5.
The multiplier resets to x1 at the start of each new spin. Build consecutive wins within a single spin to push it to x5.
Free Spins Feature
Land Scatter symbols anywhere to trigger the Free Spins Feature.
- 3 Scatter symbols trigger 12 free spins.
- Each additional Scatter symbol beyond 3 awards 2 more free spins.
- During Free Spins, the multiplier sequence changes to x2, x4, x6, and x10 respectively.
- Free spins can be retriggered.
With the multiplier reaching x10, every cascade chain in Free Spins hits harder than anything in the base game.
Maximum Win
The maximum win is 25,000x your bet. When the total win reaches this amount in either the main game or the Free Spins Feature, the spin ends and the full prize pays immediately.
1,024 Ways to Win and Symbol Payout
Mahjong Ways uses a 1,024 ways to win system across 5 reels and 4 rows.
- Wins pay from left to right. Symbols on adjacent reels from left to right form winning combinations.
- Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except Scatter symbols.
- Gold Plated symbols appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 only.
- All wins display in cash based on your current bet.

Mahjong Ways Strategy Guide
Medium session volatility means wins arrive at a steady pace. The base game builds momentum. Free Spins is where the multiplier reaches its peak.
- Watch reels 2, 3, and 4 for Gold Plated symbols. A Gold Plated symbol in a winning combination transforms into a Wild and extends the cascade chain. More cascades mean more multiplier steps.
- The multiplier resets every new spin. Chase consecutive wins within a single spin — each winning round adds a multiplier step toward x5.
- The multiplier locks at x5 on the third consecutive win. Getting to three consecutive wins in one spin is the base game’s most valuable target.
- During Free Spins, the multiplier sequence runs x2, x4, x6, and x10. Three consecutive wins is all it takes to hit the x10 ceiling.
- Retrigger Free Spins whenever possible. Each retrigger extends the feature with the enhanced multiplier sequence still active.
Build the multiplier in the base game. Push it to x10 in Free Spins. That is where 25,000x becomes possible.
