This section covers 5 game providers entries. A game studio and a casino answer to different regulators as different companies, and mistaking one for the other is the most common error in this corner of the subject. Who these studios are, what they’re actually licensed to do, and whether a return-to-player figure anyone can check gets published — that’s covered here for studios whose titles appear in Philippine-facing lobbies.

Each of these 5 pages handles a single entry instead of summarizing multiple ones. Should a field above read “not published”, the entry’s own page states who would have been the publisher.

Each entry in a paragraph

Enough per entry to see which page is worth your time.

PG Soft

Founded 2015, based in Valletta, Malta. Builds slots.

The top record on its page belongs to Malta Gaming Authority. Registered under C 76195, Pocket Games Software Limited holds the licence MGA/B2B/435/2017.

It publishes RTP figures, which means a number quoted for one of its titles can be traced to the studio. A visitor sees only a blank dash where RTP should be, because PG Soft, while publishing the figure in its game data, doesn’t render it on the visible page — it stays in the data the server delivers alongside it.

JILI

Neither a founding year nor a headquarters location is published. Slots, fishing games, table and card games, and bingo make up its catalogue.

First on its page is the record for PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department). PAGCOR EGLD has listed JILI titles among its approved electronic games.

It publishes no RTP. None appears here for its titles, and the numbers circulating elsewhere are third-party estimates that conflict with each other.

FA CHAI Gaming

Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. Makes slots, 3D fishing games, arcade games, table games.

Curacao Gaming Authority is the first record shown on its page. WiseInNet Technologies B.V., the operator of FA CHAI’s site, holds licence OGL/2024/1184/1010.

It publishes RTP figures, which means a number quoted for one of its titles can be traced to the studio. Of the seven studios here, FA CHAI is the easiest to check, since RTP appears directly on its own public games listing..

Pragmatic Play

Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Its builds cover slots, live casino, bingo, crash games and virtual sports.

The top record on its page belongs to Malta Gaming Authority. MGA/B2B/619/2018 sits under the name of Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited.

It publishes RTP figures, which means a number quoted for one of its titles can be traced to the studio. Pragmatic’s own game pages carry just one RTP per title, and that number sits at the top of a set.

Evolution

Founded 2006, based in Stockholm, Sweden. Builds live dealer casino, live game shows.

The top record on its page belongs to Malta Gaming Authority. MGA/CRP/187/2010 is the licence Evolution Gaming Malta Limited operates under.

It publishes RTP figures, which means a number quoted for one of its titles can be traced to the studio. Because third-party sources agree consistently on the RTP figures for Evolution’s game-show titles, they’re recorded as publishing RTP..

The thing most often got wrong here

The biggest distinction to grasp here is a PAGCOR operator licence versus a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Approval by PAGCOR for use by its licensed operators is what a studio’s game content gains through an EGLD listing. The studio holds no such licence, and it says nothing about a casino that carries those games.

Of the seven studios listed below, four have only that. Each page makes this plain, because “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” are only one word apart yet worlds apart in practice — and the second is what most readers are hoping for.

Game provider details are checkable in the game itself

Not one part of this needs to be taken on trust. Every licence figure here originates from a public register — open ones, at that:

  1. A Malta licence is checked on the MGA authorisation portal, searching the company name instead of the brand name. A subsidiary with a different name is often the actual licensee: Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited holds Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence, rather than an entity named Pragmatic Play.
  2. For UK licensing, the Gambling Commission public register can be searched by account number. Both the activities and the date each began appear on an active licence, along with any regulatory settlement against the holder.
  3. pagcor.ph hosts each studio’s approved-games PDF, the document that verifies a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Game content for licensed operators is what’s being approved here. Unless the document states the studio holds a licence, assume it does not.
  4. The studio’s own page for that title is where an RTP figure can be found. Comparison sites can’t supply a figure that doesn’t exist, and when they disagree with each other, that’s the finding.

Finding game providers at PK111

  1. Sign in at PK111 and open the game lobby.
  2. Sort the lobby by studio, or find a specific title through the search.
  3. Before you play, the game’s info screen shows its stake range and paytable.
  4. Before trying new studios, set a session budget and keep stakes low.

FAQ

Among these studios, which publish an RTP figure?

PG Soft, FA CHAI Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Evolution. This site quotes no RTP for the rest of their titles, choosing that over borrowing a figure from a comparison site.

Does a studio licence protect a player?

Not directly. Covering the game-making company is what a studio licence does. It is the operator's regulator that a player's recourse runs through, and that licence belongs to a different company.

Does PK111 carry all of these studios?

Open Games in the PK111 lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Each studio's own published record is what shapes its description on these pages.

What distinguishes a PAGCOR licence from a PAGCOR EGLD listing?

That's what an EGLD listing means: a studio's game content approved for use by PAGCOR-licensed operators. A PAGCOR licence sits with an operator and gives it authority to run a casino. The second is missing across the board; the first belongs to four of these studios.

Why do some of these studios have no listed founding year or headquarters?

Because they do not publish one. JILI disclose neither on their own sites. Neither figure is repeated here, since both circulate only on affiliate listicles with no primary source behind them.

What does a GLI or BMM certification actually say about a game's fairness?

In practice, an independent test laboratory tested the random number generator and paytable against a standard. It means something, it's separate from a licence, and neither says the operator offers the game.
