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. Of course, a player must also have 1,000 points to begin with, assuming that a [[Rule_variations#Scoring|game ends with negative scores]].  Specific rulesets may handle differently what happens to the bet on a multiple win.

It is not allowed to declare riichi when less than four tiles remain in the wall.
