Settlement

A worked example of paying out and settling.

This page works through 1 full settlement after a valid win.

Situation

The rounded hand value of the winner is 80p.

The losers have:

  • A: 100p
  • B: 80p
  • C: 50p

The winner wins on a discard from player B.

Step 1: winner first

Because the winner wins on a discard:

  • B pays double to the winner

That is:

80 x 2 = 160p

Step 2: losers among themselves

After that, A, B, and C settle based on their point differences:

ComparisonPayment
A (100) against B (80)B pays A 20p
A (100) against C (50)C pays A 50p
B (80) against C (50)C pays B 30p

Self-drawn variant

If the winner had drawn that same hand themselves, then step 1 would be different:

  • A pays 160p
  • B pays 160p
  • C pays 160p

Step 2 between the losers then stays the same, except when jongh or Man Kong activates an exception.

Jongh variant

If A in this example is jongh, then A receives or pays double in loser settlement. That rule must therefore be taken into account separately as soon as jongh is involved in a comparison.

Quick check

  • The winner receives first.
  • After that the losers settle among themselves.
  • On a win from a discard, only the discarder pays double.
