90JILI Mahjong Ways 2: Four Changes Against the First Game

- Read against public rulesAge, wallet and limit points on these pages are taken from PAGCOR's public lists and the BSP's e-money rules.
If you came for 90jili mahjong ways 2, you probably know the first game and want the differences, not a repeat of its rules. There are four that matter, and each is tied to a figure PG Soft publishes. The sequel appears on the Hot Games tab of the lobby under the studio label Pocket Gaming, read on 1 November 2026.
90JILI Mahjong Ways 2 Against the Original
| Change | Mahjong Ways | Mahjong Ways 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Rows | 4 on every reel | 4, with an extra row on reels 2, 3 and 4 |
| Ways to win | 1,024 | 2,000 |
| RTP (published game data) | 96.92% | 96.95% |
| Maximum win | 25,000x | 100,000x |
| Cascade style | Standard cascade | Avalanche variant |
The free-spin multiplier still climbs to ten times. The two games share a medium volatility rating, so the extra headroom shows up in the ceiling, not in a calmer ride.
Do: compare the two on the rows above before choosing. Don’t: assume that a bigger maximum win means more frequent wins.
Change One: A Taller Middle of the Grid
The middle three reels each gain a fifth row, giving a left-to-right layout of 4, 5, 5, 5, 4. Multiplying those heights gives 2,000 ways, which is why the count roughly doubles. More ways means more small combinations land per spin, and each one can start a cascade.
Do: count the rows per reel on the open game. Don’t: expect the ways count to stay at the first game’s number.
Change Two: The Avalanche Cascade
PG Soft’s sequel keeps the idea of winning symbols leaving the grid and new ones falling in. Avalanche alters how refills arrive, and nothing in the lobby’s help text explains the detail, so the rules panel inside the game is where to look. What stays constant is the principle from the original Mahjong Ways cascade rules: a chain that keeps going is worth more than several that stop early.
Do: open the in-game rules before the first paid spin. Don’t: carry mechanics over from the first game without checking.
Which of the Two to Open First
If you have not played either, the original is the easier read: four rows on every reel and a 25,000x ceiling, a quarter as high. The sequel suits someone who already understands cascades and wants the taller middle of the board. Both are medium on volatility, so the choice is about layout and appetite, not about a calmer or wilder ride.
Do: learn the cascade rhythm on the original, then compare. Don’t: switch games mid-session to chase a different feel.
Changes Three and Four: A Slightly Higher RTP and a Far Higher Ceiling
The published RTP moves by 0.03 points, from 96.92% to 96.95%, which is too small to notice in a session. The ceiling moves from 25,000x to 100,000x, and that is the headline difference. The same ceiling is listed for Lucky Neko’s multiplier build, so a top-win number alone cannot tell the games apart.
On practice play, neither the studio’s pages nor the lobby’s PG cards showed a trial button, and PG Soft demo play, checked covers that in detail. On a phone, the 90jili app routes the lobby lists are the way in, and only adults aged 21 and over play. The whole studio sits on the PG Soft hub of eight titles.
Do: treat the ceiling as a rare event and the RTP as an average. Don’t: stake more because a game advertises a bigger top prize.
How to Get Started
-
Count the extra rows
The middle three reels are taller by one row. Hence 2,000 ways.
-
Compare the two RTP lines
96.95% for the sequel against 96.92% for the original is a small gap; choose by feel, not by that number.
-
Keep the 100,000x cap in proportion
The higher ceiling is a headline, so set the session limit in pesos before you open either game.
