Examples Hong Kong Mahjong is essentially a payment system of doubling and redoubling where winning from the wall adds great value to the final payment and where the dealer is highly rewarded or penalized if he or she wins or loses. Traditional faan point-base point table The faan value of a hand is converted into base points which are then used to calculate the money (or "points") the losers pay the winner. The following is the Old Hong Kong simplified table, for other tables see Hong Kong Mahjong scoring rules. This table is similar to simplified but allows payments for hands of less than 3 faan. If a player has 3 faan then his hand is worth eight base points. A winning hand with 9 faan is worth 32 base points. Losing players must give the winning player the value of these base points. Individual players must double the amount of base-points owed for the following: If the winner wins from the wall the base points is doubled. If the hand was won by discard, the discarder doubles the amount he owes the winner If the winner is east all losers double the basepoints If east player is a losing player he pays double the points to the winner.
