Ceme Live Arena at mahjong21 — Real Dealers, Real Rounds

The Banker is the player who holds the dealing position for that round. Other players compare their two-card hand against the Banker's hand, and the Banker wins or pays each one individually.

Only the last digit of the total pip count matters. A hand of 7 and 6 totals 13, so its value is 3. The highest possible hand value is 9, sometimes called a 'pure nine'.

Certain two-card combinations — like two picture cards or a specific pip pair — are ranked above a standard nine. These special hands beat a regular nine and are defined by the table variant's rules.

RTP stands for Return to Player — the theoretical percentage of wagered chips returned over a large number of rounds. We display it only when the provider publishes it for that specific table.

On standard Ceme tables, the Banker seat rotates after each round unless a player chooses to hold it. Some table variants allow a player to keep the Banker seat by meeting a minimum chip threshold.

Pip cap refers to the maximum hand value recognised in Ceme, which is nine. Any total above nine is reduced to its last digit, so a pip cap of nine applies to every hand in every round.
