PG Soft released Mahjong Ways around a multiplier in free spins that goes up on every cascade and holds its level for the rest of the round, and that is the part that changes how it plays.

How the Mahjong Ways feature round works
If you judge this game on its base spins alone, you miss the point.
1,024 ways instead of fixed lines on a 5x4 grid, with winning symbols cascading out so replacements can drop in. Free-spins multiplier is the mechanic that matters: with every successive cascade in the round it steps up, and it never resets between them, so one long chain pays out disproportionately more than several short chains that add up to the same length. Those chains carry on because golden tiles turn into wilds.
The 25000x maximum win PG Soft publishes for this title caps a single round, and no session should be planned around it.
Mahjong Ways compared with the rest of its family
With Mahjong Ways 2 the evaluation goes up from 1,024 ways to 2,000, the cascade gains an avalanche variant, and the maximum win it publishes is much larger. Mathematics differ between them, and each sits under its own listing.
Mahjong Ways RTP and volatility in context
Over millions of spins the published RTP of 96.92% averages out in the long run, so it says nothing about how a single evening will go.
Source: the game data PG Soft puts out itself. Its game page shows the visible field as a blank dash, so someone looking by eye will not see this figure.
PG Soft labels it medium volatility, and that term refers to the shape of the results rather than their size.
What the maximum win figure actually means
Mahjong Ways has a published ceiling of 25000x, which is the biggest single-round outcome possible measured against the stake. It is a boundary instead of a target, and the rate at which any outcome occurs is something it does not mention. Carrying a very high ceiling does not stop a game paying small amounts nearly every time it pays at all.
Take the ceiling and the volatility as a pair rather than reading the ceiling in isolation. Together these two describe the game’s shape, and on its own either of them is nearly meaningless.
