Mahjong Ways is a PG Soft title, and the thing worth understanding before playing it is free-spins play in which every cascade pushes the multiplier higher and it never returns to a lower value within the round.

The place of Mahjong Ways among its siblings
Mahjong Ways 2 publishes a far higher maximum win, evaluates 2,000 ways rather than 1,024 and adds an avalanche variant of the cascade. They sit in separate listings and do not share their mathematics.
What the maximum win figure actually means
Mahjong Ways has a published 25000x ceiling, which describes the largest single-round outcome compared with the stake. It works as a boundary, not as something to aim for, and it does not say how often any outcome is seen. Having a very high ceiling says little about typical payouts, which in such a game can be small almost every time.
The ceiling is best understood together with the volatility, not separately. A game’s shape is described by the two jointly, not by either one alone, which is nearly meaningless.
Mahjong Ways RTP and volatility in context
Averaged over millions of spins, the published RTP comes to 96.92%, which is not a rate that holds for an evening.
The source is PG Soft’s own game data, which is published. What shows on the game page is a blank dash in the visible field, so a visual check will miss the figure.
What PG Soft says is that it has medium volatility, and that speaks to the shape of the results, not their size.
How the Mahjong Ways feature round works
The bulk of a session’s outcome hangs on the feature round.
Wins on a 5x4 grid are read as 1,024 ways, not fixed lines, and cascading removes winners in favour of replacements. Because the free-spins multiplier increases with each cascade in the round and carries on without resetting, a lone long chain earns disproportionately more than a few short chains whose lengths add up to the same. Thanks to golden tiles turning into wilds, those chains carry on.
PG Soft puts the maximum win for this title at 25000x; that is the most a single round can reach, and sessions should not be built around it.
