 Keep in mind that, every time the dealer wins, the game is extended by 1 hand.
+===Placement bonuses===
+{{Main|Oka and uma}}
+Riichi mahjong is usually a placement-based game: Being 1st place at the end of the game can give huge bonuses, while being in 4th place can give a huge penalty. Therefore, when nearing the end of the game, you should play for placement.
+Many online clients ([[Tenhou.net]], [[Riichi City]]) ''only'' care about your placement at the end of the game, the in-game points don't matter. [[Mahjong Soul]] cares about in-game points, but they are significantly less important than placement.
