Among these studios, which actually put out an RTP figure?

FA CHAI Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Evolution. For the rest, no RTP is published, so this site quotes none for their titles instead of borrowing a number from a comparison site.

Does a studio licence protect a player?

Not directly. What a studio licence relates to is the company that makes the games. When a player seeks recourse, it goes through the operator's regulator — a distinct licence belonging to a distinct company.

Does LAKIWIN carry all of these studios?

Open Games in the LAKIWIN lobby: each game tile names its studio, so you can see which ones are live for you. Each studio is described on these pages using its own published record.

In what way do a PAGCOR licence and a PAGCOR EGLD listing differ?

What an EGLD listing grants is approval for a studio's game content to be used by operators that PAGCOR licenses. An operator that holds a PAGCOR licence is thereby authorised to run a casino. The first applies to four of the studios here, while not one of them has the second.

How is it that some studios listed here show no founding year or headquarters?

Because they do not publish one. Neither JILI nor JDB Gaming discloses either one on its own site. Affiliate listicles circulate figures for both with no primary source behind them, and none of those figures gets repeated here.

Is a game guaranteed to be fair by a GLI or BMM certification?

What that means is a random number generator and paytable have been examined by an independent test laboratory against a standard. It carries real meaning, yet it is not a licence, and neither one addresses the operator offering the game.

LAKIWIN Game Providers — Key Picks and Every Entry

A game studio is a different company from a casino, with a different regulator, and mixing the two up is the single most common mistake in this area. Covered on these pages are the studios whose titles appear in Philippine-facing lobbies — who they are, what they’re actually licensed to do, and whether a checkable return-to-player figure is published.

Everything in this section

There are 5 pages here, each covering one entry rather than summarising several. The entry’s own page names the would-be publisher whenever a field above shows “not published”.

Each entry in a paragraph

Each item carries just enough to help you spot the page that deserves a visit.

JILI explained

Neither a founding year nor a headquarters appears in what it publishes. What it builds spans slots, fishing games, table and card games, and bingo.

PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) is the first record listed on its page. PAGCOR EGLD’s roster of approved electronic games has room for titles from JILI.

It publishes no RTP. None is quoted on this site for its titles, while the figures found elsewhere are third-party estimates that don’t match one another.

JDB Gaming explained

Neither a founding year nor a headquarters appears in what it publishes. Builds fish shooting games, slots.

PAGCOR (Electronic Gaming Licensing Department) is the first record listed on its page. PAGCOR’s own site hosts a game-content approval list.

It publishes no RTP. None is quoted on this site for its titles, while the figures found elsewhere are third-party estimates that don’t match one another.

The FA CHAI Gaming entry

Founded 2019, and states no headquarters. Table games, arcade games, 3D fishing games and slots are all part of what it builds.

Curacao Gaming Authority is listed first among the records on its page. WiseInNet Technologies B.V.

Because the studio publishes RTP data, a title’s quoted figure has a clear origin point. FA CHAI stands out among these seven studios as the one you can most directly confirm, since RTP sits right on its own public games listing..

Pragmatic Play in full

Founded 2015, based in Gibraltar. Crash games, slots, virtual sports, bingo and live casino all count among its builds.

Malta Gaming Authority appears as the first entry on its record page. Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited appears as the entity licensed under MGA/B2B/619/2018 The MGA’s own verification portal, not Pragmatic’s site, is where the B2B Critical Supply Licence shows Licensed status for the casino vertical..

Because the studio publishes RTP data, a title’s quoted figure has a clear origin point. Pragmatic’s own game pages list a single RTP per title — the top value in a set of three operator-selectable configurations that most titles turn out to carry, per independent records — Gates of Olympus 1000 runs 96.50, 95.51 and 94.50 per cent, Sweet Bonanza 1000 runs 96.53, 95.52 and 94.51 per cent — and Pragmatic’s pages never mention that the lower figures exist.

The Evolution entry

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

Malta Gaming Authority appears as the first entry on its record page. That licence, MGA/CRP/187/2010, is registered to Evolution Gaming Malta Limited.

Because the studio publishes RTP data, a title’s quoted figure has a clear origin point. Third-party sources consistently line up on the RTP figures carried by Evolution’s game-show titles, earning them a publishing-RTP record..

Check the game itself for game providers details

Nothing on this page requires you to just trust it. A public register is where every licence claim on these pages came from, and those registers are open to anyone:

Checking a Malta licence means searching the MGA authorisation portal by company name rather than brand name. A differently named subsidiary often holds the licence — Pragmatic Play’s Malta licence, for instance, belongs to Pragmatic Solutions MT Limited rather than any entity called Pragmatic Play.
To verify a UK licence, look it up in the Gambling Commission public register using the account number. Its activities and the date each one began show up on an active licence, and the same record carries any regulatory settlement against the holder.
A PAGCOR EGLD listing can be confirmed by finding the studio’s approved-games PDF on pagcor.ph. What it approves is game content for licensed operators — that’s worth reading closely. When the document does not state that the studio holds a licence, the studio does not hold one.
Open the studio’s own page for that specific title if you’re after an RTP figure. No comparison site can supply a figure that simply is not there, and when two comparison sites disagree, that disagreement itself is the finding.

The thing most often got wrong here

Telling apart a PAGCOR operator licence from a PAGCOR EGLD listing is the distinction that counts most here. An EGLD listing means that PAGCOR has cleared a studio’s game content for the operators under its licence to use. The studio doesn’t hold this as a licence, and it tells you nothing about any casino carrying those games.

For four of the seven studios listed below, that single fact is the whole story. Plain words on each of their pages spell this out, since “PAGCOR listed” and “PAGCOR licensed” sit one word apart yet worlds apart — and it’s the second one a reader usually hopes to find.
