When scoring a yakuman, a player's chances of winning the game dramatically increase. The high value of the yakuman hand either eliminates a player into [[negative points]], or it produces a seemingly insurmountable lead. However, it does not eliminate the possibility of dropping out of first place. This is especially true with yakuman scored early in the game, while every player retains points greater than zero. | When scoring a yakuman, a player's chances of winning the game dramatically increase.

Yakuman can combine with regular yaku, only for the use of [[aotenjou]]. Otherwise, they are disregarded. | |||

Some yakuman patterns may combine with each other. This is only because the tile patterns allow them to do so. The most common combination may involve [[tsuuiisou]], which is able to combine with either [[daisangen]] or [[suushiihou]] (wind based yakuman). Both [[Tenhou]] and [[chiihou]] are able to combine with almost all the yakuman patterns. However, their frequency and opportunity to do so is exceptionally rare. The other yakuman combinations at least have the progression of the hand to develop, in order to even produce the opportune chance. | Some yakuman patterns may combine with each other.
