Mahjong had been a common form of pastime in Asia, been wondering if any PCFer also played them and had done a Poker Chip with a Breakdown for that?

A Mahjong Chip Set is going to be my most likely next project and will only need 100 chips to cover 1 stake and less than 200 chips to cover 2 stake.


The breakdown that I been using for 50c "Tai" game
50c x 16
$1 x 32
$5 x 32
$25 x 16
$100 x 4


Total $1000, Each player get $100 base & additional 2 x $25 for each extra round


The breakdown that I been using for $1 "Tai" game
$1 x 40
$5 x 8
$10 x 32
$50 x 8
$100 x 12


Total $2000, Each player get $200 base & additional $100 for each extra round
 
Below is the Set that I been using for Mahjong Session

But I do like to have a deliciated Set for Mahjong rather than cutting out the chips from my Jack Cincin Set every time.

Currently are considering one of the following for the set

- Stock CPC Rounder (Had the 50c Denom and Rounder had been one of the favorite Poker Movie)
- TRK Mixed Set (Could be a good startup project for getting a workable TRK cash set in the long run as it take time and expensive)
- THC Mixed Set (Well, it the Norm right plus I can afford a rack of THC easily compared to a Set of THC)
- High-end Plastic (Abbiati, Matsui and BJ V7 are something I like to try)

Any other options that I should be trying out ?
 
Imperial Plaza! A great match with the Mah Jong theme (or so I presume; perhaps it's not such a great match to a native speaker).

Those are Sun-Fly hybrids, designed by @Quicksilver-75 and sold in a group buy here: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/thre...aza-resort-official-group-buy-now-open.60393/

I dunno if you could convince any current owners to sell you a small piece of their set, but you could ask around. Alternately, maybe @Quicksilver-75 would be willing to license you his artwork and you could get a small set made by ABC Gifts on standard ceramic blanks. Getting a small order from Sun-Fly or Tina would probably be cost-prohibitive given the overhead, but ABC can be reasonable with small orders, I think.
 
I love the opportunity of a one-rack set, such as a heads up set, to really push for a more elaborate/expensive project.

So I recommend TRK or mixed THC hot stamps.
 
The wifie has started to play a little Mahjong and of course those lame little plastic tiddly-wink ‘coins’ that came with her set were not going to cut it. And so for your showcase pleasure is the Cherry Hills Mahjong set. Built mainly for American card scoring but I think it would cover Hong Kong - style with a nickel base. Starting 2000 point stacks of 10/10/7/1. Full set in the case will be 50/50/35/15.

My family play in NTD and the base is 200/50.

Each person gets:
50 x2
100 x4
500 x3
1000 x8
Total: 10,000 NTD

I was looking into existing chips with that denom but so hard to find 50 so I gave up.

I could do custom but then don't have enough quantity as I would only "need" four times of the amount.

I suppose I could look into re-label/overlabel...
 
My family usually play SG rules for cash with $500 starting per player. Usually never gets that deep but you never know if someone will run it up.

However, my friends have been addicted to Riichi mahjong recently. We usually start with 25,000 points and I use my T100 IPS tournament set for that.
 
i was just thinking of using a chip set for riichi today, funny that this thread should suddenly revive
 
How did the scoring in majiang work? I learned the basics of the game in Shanghai, but just never got around to understand the scoring.
 
It really depends on the flavor of Mahjong you’re playing. American Mahjong assigns point values to types of hands. Most are 25 or 30 points with a few worth up to 50 or 75. And then there are some doubling possibilities to stack on top of that (ie made the hand without jokers).
