The '''oka''' {{kana|オカ}} can be thought of as an "ante". When oka is used, all players pay a set amount at the start of the game. At the end of the game, the sum is given to first place. This sum is known as the oka.

The oka always is the difference between the starting score and target score. If the start score is 25,000 and the target score is 30,000, the difference would be 5k. Thus, every player would pay 5,000 points. Then, first place would receive (5,000 x 4) points back, for an oka of 20,000. Overall, first place gains 15,000 points and the others lose 5,000 points.

If oka is disabled, then even if a target score is set, no payments are made.
