Mahjong is one of the classic Chinese tile-based games that have been around for centuries and is hugely popular in Ethiopia. The game has many variations, however, the game principles remain the same – the objective is to build four sets each composed of three tiles of the same rank and a pair of tiles of the same rank.
At mobile casinos in Ethiopia, the game is played by four players, using a set of 144 tiles arranged in various patterns with each player beginning the game with 13 tiles. In this variation, the Flowers and Seasons tiles are not used. Every player is required to draw and discard one tile at their turn and the goal is to create a legal hand from these tiles; with the exception that they are not allowed to claim another player’s discard.
When playing at a mobile casino, it is important to understand the rules pertaining to the paying process. A player can declare mahjong if they possess four sets and a pair of tiles and the other players must pay them an agreed amount that is established before the game begins.
