Rules and game options
eMahjong.net offers Chinese Classic rules, International rules and Riichi rules.
You can play following exiting game types:
Single Hand
A Single Hand Game is a quick one-hand game where the monetary settlement is done at the end of each hand. A single hand of Mahjong is played
without having to consider the traditional point calculations; the player that declares Mahjong wins the combined table wager. This option can
be played with 1, 2 or 3 opponents. Players pay their bet if the win is on self-draw. In case of a win on discard, the discarding player pays
double and the other players pay half.
Full Game
A Full Game is divided into a number of rounds (two for riichi, and four for classical and competition rules). In each round every player will
play at least once in each wind (in riichi and classical games, the play will repeat in case of washout? These games are not regularly scheduled;
but simply begin when all four seats are filled. The winner gets all money in the pot (minus rake).
Multi-table tournament
Multi-table tournaments are announced with a set start time. You can register to a tournament by paying the entrance fee. When the tournament starts,
you will automatically be placed at the initial table. A tournament consists of a series of games, using the same rules as in a Full Game tournament.
The player with most points wins the tournament and the money is distributed according to the payout structure that is presented in the tournament info.
