RTP and volatility for Mahjong Ways 2, in context

The long-run average across millions of spins is what the published RTP of 96.95% records, whereas an evening is not governed by that rate.

The game data comes from PG Soft’s own publication, even though the game page itself never displays it.

PG Soft’s description is medium volatility, a term about the shape of the results rather than how large they are.

What happens in the Mahjong Ways 2 feature round

Most of a session’s weight sits in the feature round.

Nearly twice as many ways, at 2,000, and an avalanche in place of the cascade, as golden tiles turn into wilds while falling. What deserves a pause is the 100,000x maximum next to a medium volatility label, a pairing that usually means the maximum is an accounting ceiling and not an outcome anyone should plan around. The mechanism is still the rising free-spins multiplier, and it still does not reset within a round.

The maximum win PG Soft publishes for this title is 100000x, a single-round ceiling and not something to plan a session around.

Mahjong Ways 2 compared with the other titles in its family

Mahjong Ways, the original, evaluates 1,024 ways and has a published maximum of 25,000x. It evaluates 2,000 and publishes 100,000x. RTP shifts only slightly, from 96.92% to 96.95%, so the added headroom is paid for by how seldom it is reached.

What the maximum win figure actually means

Mahjong Ways 2 has a published ceiling of 100000x, the highest outcome a single round can reach relative to the stake. As a boundary rather than a target, it is silent on how often any outcome happens. Whenever a game with a very high ceiling does pay, the sum can still turn out small almost every time.

Do not read the ceiling in isolation; set it beside the volatility. Read together, the two give the game its shape, while either one on its own tells you close to nothing.
