Dead hand is a lesser penalty compared to chombo, resulting in the player to be unable to win the corresponding turn when the minor rule violation was committed.

Consequences

When the player's hand is declared dead, he is unable to call ron or tsumo for that turn. Ignoring this will result in a chombo. The player may continue, however, to draw and discard the tiles as he usually would in order not to deal into other players' hands. If the player called riichi before his hand was declared dead, he loses the 1000 points deposited and has to continue as usual when being in riichi, discarding the tiles after drawing them.

Causes

These scenarios usually result in a dead hand.

Wrong amount of tiles

At any point of the game, if the player has less or more than 13 tiles before drawing the next tile, the hand is considered dead.

Drawing from the dead wall

Accidentally drawing from the dead wall will result in a dead hand.
