+'''Tenbou''' {{kana|点棒}} are the '''point sticks''' used to keep track of scores.  In a sense, these sticks may be viewed as the game's "currency".  When points are exchanged between players, they may either give exact values or give values while requiring some change.  Some gambling games may actually tie these point sticks to money.
 In the event of [[Scoring|honba]], players use 100 point sticks and add them to the round indicator.  These merely serve as markers, and when a dealer rotation occur, players keep their 100 point sticks used to keep track of the honba count, after a dealer rotation.
