What you are playing in Mahjong Ways
Mahjong Ways is a PG Soft slot designed in portrait mode for phones, with mahjong tiles in place of fruit or card symbols. Rather than fixed paylines, it uses a ways-to-win system: matching tiles on adjacent reels from the left count as a win wherever they sit in each column.
The provider's standard RTP is 96.92%. The version you open may be configured differently, so check the in-game info page.
Cascades and the climbing multiplier
After a winning spin, the winning tiles are removed and new ones drop in. If that creates another win, the process continues. Each extra cascade in the same spin pushes a multiplier shown above the reels one step higher, so later wins in a chain are worth more than the first.
The multiplier returns to its starting value when you place a new bet, which means a long chain matters far more than any single win.
Golden tiles
Some tiles on the middle reels arrive with a gold frame. If a golden tile is part of a win, it transforms into a wild rather than clearing, and that wild stays for the next cascade. This is the mechanic that most often keeps a chain alive.
Free spins
Landing enough scatter symbols unlocks free spins. In this round the multiplier ladder starts higher and climbs faster, and more scatters can add extra spins. The rules screen lists the counts for the version on your phone.
Setting a win goal and a loss limit
Cascade games can swing quickly, so set two numbers before you start: a loss limit where you stop, and a win goal where you walk away with what is left. For instance, you might decide to quit once your balance is either half gone or clearly up on where it began. Writing both down makes them harder to ignore mid-session.

FAQ
Mahjong Ways FAQ
How does the multiplier work in Mahjong Ways?
Each consecutive cascade within the same spin moves the win multiplier up a step, and it resets when a new paid spin begins. During free spins the multiplier steps are higher than in the base game. The exact ladder is shown in the game's rules screen.
What are golden symbols in Mahjong Ways?
Golden-framed tiles can land on the middle reels. When one forms part of a winning combination, it does not disappear like normal symbols; it turns into a wild instead, which can help the next cascade produce another win.
Is Mahjong Ways the same as Mahjong Ways 2?
No. PG Soft released a sequel with a similar tile theme and cascade idea, but the details differ. Check the title shown on the game tile and read that game's paytable, because rules and RTP for one version do not automatically apply to the other.
