Atozuke handles the rule for yakuless hands to gain yaku on discards. This is most common on hands waiting on more than two tiles, where one discarded tile produces yakuhai. | |||
* Ari – Allow the hand to gain yaku on the winning tile. | |||
* Nashi – Yaku must be embedded in the hand before the winning tile. | |||
* ? - A hand must have a yaku confirmed by the time the first call completes (exception: "whole hand yaku", e.g. [[honitsu]], can be incomplete on first call). | |||

Lesser variations may include additional '''dorahyouji''' (dora indicators) at the beginning of each hand. | Variations on [[dora]] involves a few implementations; and they all affect the number of dora used.
