After the South wind ends (8 game rounds minimum), the game ends. | A "[[hanchan]]" (half game; South game) is the most common game length in riichi mahjong.

===Dealers=== | |||
The [[Oya|dealer]] is always the player in the East seat. In online clients, the game is set up automatically, so the dealer does not set up the game. However, being dealer grants various bonuses: | |||
*Dealers gain roughly x1.5 points for every hand they get. | |||
*As mentioned: when a dealer wins, or when the round ends and the dealer has a ready hand, the winds do not change. This means that, whenever a dealer wins, the game is extended by 1 round. A dealer can theoretically win forever until a player is bankrupt. | |||
However, when another opponent wins by self-draw ("tsumo"), the dealer pays twice as much as the non-dealers. | |||
===Round End=== | |||
If no one wins, the round ends once 70 tiles have been drawn and discarded. | If no one wins, the round ends once 70 tiles have been drawn and discarded. | ||

The round may also end in an [[abortive draw]] - abortive draws happen in rare conditions, so new players don't need to worry about them.

===Dead Wall=== | |||
During each round, 14 tiles are unable to be drawn (the round ends before they can be drawn). These 14 tiles are known as the dead wall. Because the dead wall exists, sometimes you will be unable to get a needed tile. | |||

For each [[kan]] a player makes, a new dora indicator is revealed. | |||
===Uradora=== | |||
If you declare [[riichi]] and win, the [[uradora]] are revealed. 1 uradora indicator is revealed for each regular dora indicator. Uradora indicators work like dora indicators (the tile after the indicator is the dora tile). | |||
There is no way to know uradora before winning, so yradora are essentially random bonuses for winning with riichi. In general, ~30% of winning riichi hands contain at least 1 uradora. | |||
