'''Open riichi''' {{kana|オープン立直}} is an [[optional yaku]] which is a modified version of riichi. The mechanics are identical to a normal riichi, except that you must reveal either your entire hand or its tile [[wait]]s. In exchange, an open riichi is worth 1 extra han. Open riichi makes it trivial for other players to defend against your hand, so in general, the intent is to win by self-draw. | '''Open riichi''' {{kana|オープン立直}} is an [[optional yaku]] which is a modified version of riichi.

As a further optional rule, yakuman may be awarded if any player intentionally [[ron|plays into]] the open riichi. If a player unintentionally deals in, i.e. if a riichi player deals into an open riichi, the yakuman is not scored. Many official organizations and tournaments do not implement open riichi; it is more or less reserved for casual or gambling game settings. | As a further optional rule, yakuman may be awarded if any player intentionally [[ron|plays into]] the open riichi.
