The sangenpai are traditionally ordered haku, hatsu, chun, as in the table on the right. When one appears as a [[dora]] indicator, the dora tile is the next in this sequence, with chun pointing back to haku.

The sangenpai are an easy way to score points. A [[jantou|pair]] of any of them is worth 2 [[fu]] (although it means that [[pinfu]] cannot be scored), and a [[mentsu|group]] of them scores [[yakuhai]], a [[yaku]] worth 1 [[han]]. If a hand is lucky enough to have two groups of dragons, as well as a pair of the third, it will score 2 han for [[shousangen]] in addition to the yakuhai, for a minimum of 4 han. Completing all three groups of dragons produces the [[daisengen]] yakuman, one of the three most common.

Often, a hand scoring shousangen or daisangen will have two [[naki|visible calls]] of dragons. Such a hand should be treated with extreme caution by the other players if they cannot see many copies of the remaining type of dragon. The hand may well be tenpai for shousangen or daisangen and, in games using [[pao]], even if it is not tenpai, a player discarding the remaining dragon risks becoming liable for a yakuman payment.
