Players who collect corresponding wind tiles to their wind seat gains possesses [[yaku|1-yaku]], and in turn, [[scoring|1-han]].

If a player's wind also corresponds with the round wind, then collection of their own wind is double, or worth 2-han. Commonly, the round wind is limited to either [[Hanchan|East]] or [[Hanchan|South]]. Some games may extend into the [[West round]]. | ||

Players seated East is designated as the '''oya''' {{kana|親}} or the dealer. The dealer seat has some benefits: | |||
* If the dealer wins the hand, the wind seating does not rotate. | |||
* If the dealer is [[tenpai]] at [[ryuukyoku]] (exhaustive draw), the wind seating does not rotate. | |||
* The dealer's hand value is worth exactly or approximately 50% more than that of non-dealer hands. | |||
* The dealer is always the first to grab four dealt tiles. | |||
* The dealer always draws first and begins the hand. | |||
In the event when the wind seating does not change, then the '''[[honba]]''' count increases by one. For each honba, the hand value for any player is increased by 300 points. Ideally, players greatly benefit by retaining the dealer position, in order to maximize point gains. Often, games may be won or lost in this manner. | |||
The dealer is only disadvantaged, when non-dealer players win by [[tsumo]]. In this case, the dealer plays exactly or approximately double that of the non-dealers. | |||
