This section covers 5 game providers entries. Casinos and game studios are separate companies answering to separate regulators, and mixing them up is the error people make most often in this corner of the subject. Identity, actual licensing scope, and whether a checkable return-to-player figure gets published — that’s what these pages spell out for every studio whose titles land in Philippine-facing lobbies.

Every one of these 5 pages sticks to a single entry — nothing here rolls several into one write-up. When a field above is marked “not published”, check that entry’s own page to see who should have published it.

Each entry in a paragraph

Every entry carries the detail needed to pick out the page worth opening.

JILI explained

This listing skips both a founding year and a headquarters. This studio turns out slots, fishing games, table and card games, and bingo.

Its page opens by naming PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) as the first record. PAGCOR EGLD counts JILI among the developers whose electronic games it has approved.

It publishes no RTP. None are quoted for its titles on this site, since the numbers circulating elsewhere are third-party estimates that disagree with each other.

Pragmatic Play in full

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

Before any other entry, its page records Malta Gaming Authority. As licence holder, Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited is tied to MGA/B2B/619/2018.

Traceable back to the studio is any number quoted for one of its titles, given that it publishes RTP. Pragmatic’s game pages give a single RTP figure for every title, and that number is simply the highest in a set.

PG Soft explained

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

Before any other entry, its page records Malta Gaming Authority. Registered as C 76195, Pocket Games Software Limited is the party behind licence number MGA/B2B/435/2017.

Traceable back to the studio is any number quoted for one of its titles, given that it publishes RTP. The page a visitor loads never renders RTP as anything but a blank dash, despite PG Soft embedding that figure in the game data the server sends alongside the page.

The Evolution entry

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

Before any other entry, its page records Malta Gaming Authority. Licence number MGA/CRP/187/2010 belongs to Evolution Gaming Malta Limited.

Traceable back to the studio is any number quoted for one of its titles, given that it publishes RTP. The RTP-publishing label fits Evolution’s game-show titles, since figures from third-party sources line up the same way each time..

The FA CHAI Gaming entry

Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. This developer’s output includes table games, slot machines, arcade titles, and 3D fishing games.

Its page’s record starts off with Curacao Gaming Authority. Licence OGL/2024/1184/1010 is in the hands of WiseInNet Technologies B.V., which operates the site belonging to FA CHAI.

Traceable back to the studio is any number quoted for one of its titles, given that it publishes RTP. FA CHAI publishes RTP right on its own public games listing, putting it ahead of the other six studios here for ease of checking..

The thing most often got wrong here

Mixing up a PAGCOR operator licence with a PAGCOR EGLD listing would be the biggest mistake to make here. PAGCOR grants an EGLD listing only after signing off on a studio’s game content for its own licensed operators to use. The studio doesn’t hold it as a licence, and it tells you nothing about any casino carrying those games.

Seven studios sit below; four of them stop at that one item. You’ll find it stated outright on every one of their pages: “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” differ by only one term but mean something entirely different, and readers are typically after the second.

Look inside the game itself and you’ll find its game providers details.

Every claim on this page invites a check, not blind trust. Those registers are public, and every licence claim on these pages traces back to one:

  1. Verifying a Malta licence means searching the corporate name, never the brand, once you’re inside the MGA authorisation portal. Pragmatic Play itself rarely holds the licence directly — its Malta licence instead sits with a differently named subsidiary, Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited.
  2. The Gambling Commission ties each UK licence to an account number searchable in its public register. The same record lists an active licence’s activities with the date each began, plus any regulatory settlement made against the holder.
  3. Pagcor.ph is where you’d dig up the studio’s approved-games PDF to confirm a PAGCOR EGLD listing. Treat this as approval for game content intended for licensed operators. A licence claim for the studio stands only where the document actually spells it out — otherwise, there isn’t one.
  4. Only the studio’s own page for that specific title carries an RTP figure, so start there. That two comparison sites disagree is the finding on its own, exactly as a missing figure stays impossible for any comparison site to supply.

Finding game providers at PHTAYA

  1. Start by signing in at PHTAYA, then navigate to the game lobby.
  2. You can trim the lobby to a single studio, or type a title’s name into search.
  3. Before committing real money, glance at a game’s info screen for its stake range and paytable.
  4. Cap your stake with any studio you haven’t tried, but only after fixing what this session may cost.

FAQ

Which of these studios keep an RTP figure on public record?

Evolution, PG Soft, FA CHAI Gaming, and Pragmatic Play. The rest don't, and rather than borrow an RTP for their titles from a comparison site, this site quotes none.

Does a studio licence protect a player?

Not directly. A studio licence reaches whichever company actually builds the games. Any recourse a player has runs through the operator's own regulator — a separate licence held by a separate company.

Does PHTAYA carry all of these studios?

Open Games in the PHTAYA lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Only a studio's own published record shapes how these pages portray it.

A PAGCOR licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing get compared here — what actually differs between them?

Operators holding a PAGCOR licence get to use a studio's game content precisely because an EGLD listing approves it. Without a PAGCOR licence in hand, an operator has no authorisation to run a casino. Four of these studios claim the first trait; the second shows up in not one of them.

Why does this page list no founding year or headquarters for some studios?

Because they do not publish one. JILI disclose neither on their own sites. Both numbers live only on affiliate listicles that cite no primary source, so this page carries neither.

Does a game count as fair once it holds a GLI or BMM certification?

An independent test laboratory takes the random number generator and the paytable and measures both against an established standard. It carries real meaning yet differs from a licence, and neither tells you anything about the operator offering the game.
