THE GAME

In Video Mah Jong, the player uses numbered tiles to make a winning hand much like in the card game rummy; that is, a hand consisting of runs and pairs (23488), or triples and pairs (55566), for example. The game uses four each of tiles numbered one through nine, and two flower tiles which act as a "bonus" by increasing the value of a winning hand.

THE PLAY

The player receives a hand consisting of five tiles face up. After examining his hand for possible winning combinations, the player may discard one tile from his hand, and one of two face down tiles is turned over and joins the hand. If a flower tile is drawn, it moves to a "bonus rack" and is replaced by another tile. Again, the player may decide to discard a tile, and the second face down tile turns over and joins the hand. If a player makes a winning hand before he uses both face down tiles, he is allowed to "take the win." There are bonus pays for a combination with a pair of 2s, 5s or 8s. To hit the jackpot, the player must bet the maximum coins, get both flower tiles, and have a hand of 11199 or 11999.

VIDEO MAJ JONG MASTER SOFTWARE

VIDEO MAJ JONG MASTER (VMJM) was designed and developed by Stanley Ko to teach you how to play any hand you are dealt to their greatest potential. It uses the probability theory to determine the mathematically correct play for every hand. So, instead of relying on your hunches or luck, learn what tiles to discard to put the odds of getting a winning hand on your side!

VMJM features the following useful tools:
  • Changing Payouts

  • VMJM not only comes with two pay tables currently in use, but also can be tailored to your desires. Simply select the winning combinations whose payouts you want to modify and enter the new values.

  • Hand Analysis

  • It lets you analyze any hand that you have a question about. Simply enter the 5 tiles and VMJM will compute, instantly, the hit frequency and the expected return for each of the 5 discards and show you the best play for your hand.

  • Game Analysis

  • It lets you analyze a specific game. Simply choose a pay table and VMJM will compute, in a few seconds, the hit frequency and the overall return for the game. With maximum coins in some machines return 99%.

  • Hint

  • This mode is similar to the Test mode except that a) you are not alerted to an incorrect play, and b) it will always show you the correct play.
