• Commission to the Operator (Rake) Dragon Kong is a mahjong room, not a casino. That means that you play against other players over the internet, not against the house. We receive compensation by taking a “commission”, which is a small amount of money defined as a fixed fee or a percentage of the gross win depending on game type.

Deposit

Single hand	10% of gross win/pot*
Full Game	15% of gross win/pot*
Multi table tournament	Fee for each tournament, which is 10% of the buy-in up to a buy-in of $500, after which it becomes a fixed fee.

*Gross win/pot example= If there are 4 players and each player put in $1 into the pot then the total pot will be $4, the commission will be $0.4 for a single hand and $0.6 for a full game.This game mode is a quick one-hand game where the monetary settlement is done at the end of each hand. Single hand games can be played by 2, 3 or 4 players. In single hand games, the goal is to form a valid mahjong hand as quickly as possible. The value of the hand has no influence on who wins. To play a single hand game, you pay the fee for the table, which will let you join the table and start the first hand. The player that declares mahjong first wins the amount paid by the other players, and a new hand begins. For each new hand, the fee for the table is paid again to form a new pot. Some rules that are only sensible for complete games of mahjong are not used for single hand games. These differences are:

• Prevailing wind is not used.
• The deal is always rotated regardless of how the previous hand ended.
• No riichi or counter sticks are left on the table between hands (only applicable for riichi rules). The values of the sticks go back to their owners.

The player that declares mahjong wins the combined table wager. Players pay their bet if the win is on self-draw. In case of a win on discard, the discarding player pays double and the other players pay half.

The game is divided into a number of rounds. (Two for riichi, and four for classical and competition rules.) During a round, the winds are rotated from player to player, until all players have played in all winds. This signifies that the round has come to an end. Each round has a prevailing wind. The first round is the east round, and the following is the south round. For riichi, there are only these two rounds, while the classical and the international competition rules also have a west and a north round. To play in a full game, you pay the bet for the table, which will let you join the table with a set amount of points. When all players have been seated, the game starts with the first of a series of hands and at the end of each hand the points are settled between the players. When the game has ended, the player with most points receives the pot that is paid by the other players, minus the commission (rake).[/text_output][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner inner_container=”true” no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” bg_video=”” class=”” style=””][vc_column_inner fade=”true” fade_animation=”in-from-left” fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″ id=”” class=”” style=””][custom_headline level=”h4″ looks_like=”h4″ id=”” class=”” style=””]Disconnection and Inactivity[/custom_headline][text_output]If the player gets disconnected or fails to take any action for two consecutive rounds the player will automatically be deactivated.

A game in a multi table tournament is as many hands as the participants can play in a predefined amount of time, so the game may end in mid-hand. After each game, the player receives table points according to their positions in the game, and the totals of these points are used to determine the winner of the tournament. To participate in a multi-table tournament you click on Register to sign up. The tournament fee is withdrawn from your account when a sufficiently large number of players have signed up to the tournament. Some time before the tournament starts, the registration will close, and beyond that point, no further registration will be accepted. When the tournament starts, you will automatically be placed at your first table, and the game will begin. It is important that you are logged in when the tournament starts, otherwise you will lose your place in the tournament and your entrance fee will be lost. After the time allocated for a game is over there is a short pause, and then you will automatically be seated at your next table, where you will meet new opponents in the following game. This process continues until the pre-determined numbers of games have been played, and the tournament ends. After the tournament has finished, the final placements are shown in the tournament information tab.[/text_output][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner fade=”true” fade_animation=”in-from-right” fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″ id=”” class=”” style=””][custom_headline level=”h4″ looks_like=”h4″ id=”” class=”” style=””]Table Points[/custom_headline][text_output]At the end of each game in a tournament a total of 7 table points are distributed among the players according to their placement in the game. When the tournament ends, the players that have managed to accumulate the highest total number of points will receive the tournament prizes according to their positions. In case of a tie in table points, the total number of regular points accumulated during all the games is the tiebreaker. The table point distribution is done the following manner: the high scorer receives 4 table points; the second highest scorer receives 2 table points; the third highest receives 1 table point; and the fourth player receives 0 table points. If two players’ scores are equal, they split table points between them. In case of a tie for highest score, both players receive 3 table points each, and the third and fourth player 1 and 0 table points respectively. In case of a tie for second-highest score, the first player receives 4 points, the tied players 1,5 points each, and the fourth player 0 points. In case of a tie for third-highest score, the first player receives 4,5 points, the second 2,5 points, and the tied players 0 points each and so on in logical fashion, for the remaining possible cases. The rules used in multi-table tournaments are the same as is used in a Full Game with the only exception being how a game is finished. A multi-table tournament game ends after a set amount of time, regardless of how many hands have been played, and what round the game is in. The last, interrupted hand of the game is ignored and is not included in the final scoring of the game.[/text_output][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner inner_container=”true” no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” bg_video=”” class=”” style=””][vc_column_inner fade=”true” fade_animation=”in-from-left” fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/2″ id=”” class=”” style=””][custom_headline level=”h4″ looks_like=”h4″ id=”” class=”” style=””]Multi Table Tournament Rules[/custom_headline][text_output]All tournaments will begin at the scheduled time stated in the tournament lobby.
