Mahjong Ways 1 vs Mahjong Ways 2: Which Should You Play?
Before Mahjong Ways 2 added a 5th row to reels 2–4, the original Mahjong Ways by PG Soft conquered Asian mobile gaming with a pure 5-reel, 4-row (1,024-ways) layout. Many seasoned Filipino grinders still prefer Part 1 because its tighter 1,024-ways grid concentrates higher individual symbol payouts per line.
| Specification | Mahjong Ways 1 | Mahjong Ways 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Grid & Payways | 5x4 Grid (1,024 Ways) | 4-5-5-5-4 Grid (2,000 Ways) |
| Audited RTP | 96.92% | 96.95% |
| Base Multiplier Ladder | 1x → 2x → 3x → 5x | 1x → 2x → 3x → 5x |
| Free Spins Trigger | 3 Hu Scatters = 12 Free Spins (2x–10x) | 3 Hu Scatters = 10 Free Spins (2x–10x) |
2 Extra Starting Free Spins on Every Bonus Trigger
Notice a crucial mathematical advantage: landing 3 Red "Hu" Scatters in original Mahjong Ways awards 12 Free Spins (compared to 10 in the sequel), with every symbol on Reel 3 guaranteed to land Gold-Plated while the overhead multiplier bar doubles to 2x, 4x, 6x, and 10x!
