Riichi gives 1 han, plus random bonuses via [[ippatsu]], [[ura dora]], and/or [[mentsumo]]. If you're particularly lucky, a riichi-only hand can turn into 7900 points with riichi ippatsu mentsumo dora 1. You should try to guarantee a comeback without any bonus han. However, if you have no reasonable way to do so, go for a riichi and hope you get enough points. At the same time, opponents will be especially wary of a riichi in the last round, precisely because they don't want to lower their placement.

In some cases, the 1000 point riichi bet is enough to drop you down a placement. If you have another yaku, you should usually go dama.

In the last hand of the game, non-dealers will likely have only one chance to make a difference, so awareness of the point differences and the [[scoring table]] are key.
