Although Pocket Games Soft, or PG SOFT, has only been going since 2015, this rapidly-growing games developer already employs over 200 people at its offices in Malta, Europe and North America and looks set for huge expansion in the near future. Their declared vision is to ‘’revolutionise mobile app gamification by leveraging on our wide spectrum of bespoke gaming solutions.’’ It’s business-speak for producing exciting mobile optimised slots that are a little different from those already available and on the strength of their current range, we think they’re delivering on their promise.
PG SOFT was founded by Ken Zhang, who has assembled a team of industry veterans to lead the company. They have aimed to recruit only the most talented artists, designers and software specialists, while working with Oxford and Cambridge university graduates to deal with the maths behind the gameplay. It’s a formidable team, faced with quite a challenge to come up with something truly unique in an increasingly crowded market. The PG SOFT head office is in Valletta, Malta. All of their games are licensed by the local betting authority, as well as the Gibraltar Gambling Commission. The independent BMM and GA testing labs have been utilised to determine that fairness of the games, so punters have a belt and braces guarantee and can play across the range, knowing that fair results and high returns come as standard.
PG SOFT has found a niche as a mobile games developer and is focused on delivering slots, plus a couple of card games. Unlike some games studios, they haven’t branched out into providing software platforms for others, or white label casinos, allowing them to concentrate on what they do best. A number of strategic partnerships have been forged with other developers, including Leander Games, Relax Gaming and Nektan, which is helping to bring their range to a wider audience. Some of the slots listed as the most popular on the PG SOFT website are Medusa II, Tree of Fortune and Plushy Frenzy, so we’ll take a closer look at these games and see if they live up to the bold claims.
