The dealer is only disadvantaged, when non-dealer players win by [[tsumo]]. In this case, the dealer plays exactly or approximately double that of the non-dealers. This is only significant during close games, by which the point differences may be adequate enough for a [[gyakuten|place change]]. | The dealer is only disadvantaged, when non-dealer players win by [[tsumo]].

=== Dealer rotation === | |||
During the course of the game, the dealer position rotates among the four players. This can occur in two ways: | |||
# A player other than the dealer wins a hand. | |||
# The dealer fails to attain tenpai at [[ryuukyoku]] (exhaustive draw). | |||
Seldom, a game can end without the dealer position ever changing. Notably, this scenario can occur if a player's points [[Tob|fall below zero]] beforehand. Of course, some [[Scoring_variations#Tobi|rules]] allow continuance of the game, despite the scores. | |||
