5. Comparison table

The following table shows the final payments using three different rules. The hand is in each case the same (the one used in the previous four examples):
Case European Classical Japanese Modern Hong Kong Mah Jong
East goes out self-drawn 840 points 3,600 points 24 points
East goes out with a discard 780 points 3,400 points 8 points
– Discarder pays 260 points 3,400 points 4 points
– Other losers pay each 260 points – 2 points
West goes out self-drawn 520 points 2,400 points 24 points
West goes out with a discard 480 points 2,300 points 8 points
– Discarder (East) pays 240 points (more than others only for being East) 2,300 points 4 points
– Other losers pay each 120 points – 2 points
Conclusions Discarder pays the same as other losers;
East pays and receives twice; losers pay to each other according to the difference of their total scores		 Discarder pays for all losers; East pays and receives twice; only the winner is paid All pay double if the winning tile is self-drawn, otherwise only the discarder pays double; East pays and receives normally
