To declare riichi, a player announces riichi and discards a tile facing sideways in the discard pile. This is done to indicate when riichi was called. If that tile is claimed by another player for an open meld, then the next discard is turned sideways as a replacement. | To declare riichi, a player announces riichi and discards a tile facing sideways in the discard pile.

Unless the first sideways discard is claimed for a win immediately, the riichi announcer now places a bet of 1,000 points on the table. This bet is collected by the next player to win a hand. Specific rules will differ on what happens if multiple players win, or if the game ends before any player claims the bet. | Unless the first sideways discard is claimed for a win immediately, the riichi announcer now places a bet of 1,000 points on the table.

After a riichi declaration, the hand remains locked and unchangeable. In this state, the player is simply waiting for a winning tile to appear, either by draw or discard. However, there is a notable exception: a riichi player may declare [[kan]] in [[#Kan|certain circumstances]]. | After a riichi declaration, the hand remains locked and unchangeable.

In real | In real life play, a player may declare riichi without tenpai - this would be a '''noten riichi''' {{kana|ノテン立直}}, which is highly ill-advised. If the hand results in [[ryuukyoku]], then it is required to reveal the hand. The hand would naturally show noten, which is illegal, and thus subject to a [[chombo]] penalty. Likewise, an incorrectly called win would also be subject to chombo. This dubious situation can be escaped if another player wins, another player commits a chombo, or if an [[abortive draw]] occurs. Of course, most computer based play will prevent players from declaring a riichi without tenpai. | ||

'''Open riichi''' {{kana|オープン立直}} is an [[optional yaku]] which is a modified version of riichi. The mechanics are identical to a normal riichi, except that you must reveal either your entire hand or its tile [[wait]]s. | '''Open riichi''' {{kana|オープン立直}} is an [[optional yaku]] which is a modified version of riichi. The mechanics are identical to a normal riichi, except that you must reveal either your entire hand or its tile [[wait]]s. In exchange, an open riichi is worth 1 extra han. Open riichi makes it trivial for other players to defend against your hand, so in general, the intent is to win by self-draw. | ||

If a player unintentionally deals in, i.e. if a riichi player deals into an open riichi, the yakuman is not scored. Many official organizations and tournaments do not implement open riichi; it is more or less reserved for casual or gambling game settings. | ||
