During the course of the game, the dealer seat rotates among the four players. So, naturally, the designation for East also rotates with the dealer position. Likewise, the designations for the other winds rotate in a similar fashion. At all times, the order remains the same: East, South, West, and North. | During the course of the game, the dealer seat rotates among the four players.

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. | |||
=== Renchan === | |||
'''Renchan are''' additional hands, by which the wind seating do not rotate. Overall, wind rotation is dependent on the hand status of the current dealer, or East seat. 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. | |||
Naturally, other players may force wind rotation by winning the hand themselves. Yet, at times, it may be beneficial for the dealer to simply concede the dealer position. Ideally, the dealer would prefer to let the wind seating rotate either when other players win points off of each other directly (by ron), other players win by tsumo using cheap hands, or being noten at ryuukyoku to minimize point losses. | |||
[[Rule_variations#Agari|Variation]] on the rotation rule may be applied depending on the requirement. Sometimes, the rule setting may require the dealer to win the hand, instead of merely achieving tenpai at ryuukyoku. This is to increase the pressure on the dealer to win hands. This also prevents the dealer from elongating the game by attaining additional hands by being tenpai at ryuukyoku. | |||

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]]. | |||
