theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Game developers often draw inspiration from popular table games when designing slots. There are some real blockbusters out there, with themes ranging from Monopoly to Battleships to pretty much everything in between. PG Soft tends to focus on the Asian market, so their slots within this category lean towards traditional games played in that part of the world. Some great examples are on offer, such as Win Win Fish Prawn Crab, a low volatility, six-reel video slot featuring a maximum win of 20,000x and an RTP of 96.72%. The inspiration behind this slot creation is a casino table game, also known as Hoo Hey How, which was invented by a very creative Chinese casino owner, and it ended up being so popular that it saved his establishment from bankruptcy. It features cascading reels, increasing multipliers and a free spins bonus. Now, personally, I usually tend to find that the original is often the best, I’m not always a fan of this sequel nonsense. Perhaps that could be the case with today’s review. Test out its predecessor, Mahjong Ways, to see what you think. Coming up next, though, we’ll look further into the features of Mahjong Ways 2, starting over at the pays section.

At the top of the paytable is the tile with the Green Writing, which will return 2.5x your total stake per line of five symbols. Next, it’s the tile with Red Writing at 2x, the image of the Playing Card at 1.5x, and the tile featuring Red and Blue Writing, which pays 0.75x. The lowest value symbols are all tiles that feature what I’d describe as numbered dice faces and are worth the following, 0.6x for both five and four, 0.5x for three, and 0.3x for both two and one. 

Looking at the stake options on Mahjong Ways 2, we can see that there are many to choose from; these range from as low as €0.20 to as high as €100.00. With lots of choice between these figures, there’s likely to be a suitable stake selection available for the majority of players. 

base game & modifiers

Focusing on the game mechanics, we can see that Mahjong Ways 2 uses a five-reel grid, with rows set up in a 4-5-5-5-4 formation. This setup creates a total of 2,000 payways. Winning combinations are formed by matching a minimum of three corresponding symbols from left to right, commencing on the leftmost reel. Any symbols involved in a win are then removed from the reels prior to the next cascade, where additional symbols drop down from the top to offer the opportunity for further wins to take place.
