=== Open riichi ===
'''Open riichi''' is an optional yaku, which is a modified version to riichi itself.  The principle works exactly in the same way as the original riichi.  However, there is an added bonus of 1-han attached, which is earned by revealing either the hand or the tile waits.  This naturally eases everyone else's ability to defend against the riichi.  As a further optional rule, yakuman may be awarded if any player actually [[ron|plays into]] the open riichi.  This is more or less a harsh penalty for playing into a revealed hand.  Many official organizations and tournaments do not implement open riichi.  It is more or less reserved for casual game or gambling setting.
