'''Ryuukyoku''' {{kana|流局}} is also known as an '''exhaustive draw'''. Sometimes, all the tiles aside from the [[dead wall]] are drawn, and no player manages to produce a winning hand. In this case, players in '''[[tenpai]]''' reveal their hands and receive points from those in '''noten''' (players not in tenpai). Players in noten may choose to reveal their hands, but it is not required. Noten hands do not affect the point exchanges, when revealed. Though, players in tenpai are not particularly required to reveal their hands. Instead, they may opt to declare noten, despite having a tenpai hand. In exchange for keeping the hand hidden, a player loses points. | '''Ryuukyoku''' {{kana|流局}} is also known as an '''exhaustive draw'''.

Wind seating may or may not occur depending on the [[oya|dealer's]] hand. If the dealer is tenpai, then the wind seating does not rotate; and on the other hand, wind seating does rotate if the dealer fails to develop a tenpai hand. Though rules may be modified to require the dealer to win the hand, rather than just simply attaining tenpai. | Wind seating may or may not occur depending on the [[oya|dealer's]] hand.
