Ideally, players seek to win hands. Once again, a winning hand is composed of a [[tenpai]] hand; and a winning tile may be claimed. Of course, a player must actively declare the win '''(ron or tsumo)''', or else, the player may also decline the win. Though, the latter option may be used for specific and strategic instances. This can also be attained by the dead-wall draw with the special tsumo of [[rinshan kaihou]] yaku. Two other special win claims can be attained by ron via [[chankan]]. | Ideally, players seek to win hands.

Depending on the rules, multiple winners are also possible for a hand. This event occurs when more than one player is waiting on the same tile(s), and the wins are both claimed by discard. This event is called a '''double ron''' or even '''triple ron'''. [[Rule variations|Some rules]] may allow double, but not triple. In this case, the losing player must pay the winning players according to their respective hand values. Likewise, honba applies for both of them as well. Otherwise, some rules may apply the head bump rule, or '''[[atama]]'''. In this case, only one of the players may claim the win over the other. The former winner may claim the win over the latter, or vice-versa depending on the rules agreed upon. | |||

Dealers receive roughly 50% more points when winning than non-dealers. However, if a non-dealer wins by draw (''tsumo''), then the dealer must pay roughly 50% while non-dealers pay roughly 25% each. The winner of a hand collects any ''rīchi'' bets on the table and additional points allowed by ''honba''. | Dealers receive roughly 50% more points when winning than non-dealers.
