'''Yakitori''' {{kana|焼き鳥}} is a [[Japanese mahjong|game]] state, where a player failed [[Agari|to win a hand]] during the [[hanchan|course of a game]]. In many cases, this sort of game may leave a player feeling rather "empty".  In some gambling situations, playing a yakitori game may result in a penalty after the game with a specified severity.  Sometimes, players may use specialized "yakitori markers" as indicators.  The instant a player wins a hand, then the marker is flipped over.
'''Yakitori''' {{kana|焼き鳥}} refers to a player that has won no hands throughout the [[hanchan|entire match]]. It is next to impossible to reach 1st place with yakitori, though it is technically possible with [[exhaustive draw|tenpai payments]].


Usually, yakitori does not result in a winning game. A exceptionally rare exception would involve a game with point gains via [[ryuukyoku]] while avoiding any point losses and opposing players won hands with meager gains.
In some gambling rulesets, players in yakitori are punished with a point/cash penalty. Sometimes, specialized "yakitori markers" are used as indicators: when a player wins, the marker is flipped over. Players with an unflipped marker have to pay the penalty.
