Mahjong Mobile – Entertainment Game Review
Mahjong Mobile is a Entertainment/Board/Card game from NUTRACTOR, first launched in 13th April 2010.
It’s rated 17+ and currently has 88+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Mahjong Mobile Stand Out
This is a Mahjong game of the Japanese style rule.
The Slider that exists under the screen is moved, and the tile is selected.
And, the Slider is done in the tap and the tile is discard.
Mahjong is the game to finish four Melds and one Pairs.
Example: [1, 2, 3][6, 6, 6][6, 7, 8][N, N, N][4, 4]
However, there is a hand not approved when Chi, Pon, and Open Kan.
Please note whether there is a hand when you do 1 and 9 in Chi and Pon.
In the rule of the japanese mahjong, one or more hands are necessary.
The hand can be made by paying 1,000 points and doing Reach.
However, when Chi, Pon, and Open Kan are done, Reach cannot be done.
If it is a closed hand, high point will be obtained.
About Lost Hand. A hand that is Waiting, but cannot be won off someone else's discard due to the fact that the owner of the hand already threw a winning tile in their own discard.
Lost Hand if one in all winning tiles are here even if discard doesn't do the tile which it wants to do. But, self-draw is possible even with Lost Hand.
The knack is that Ron is never done by the other party.
Ron is never done with the tile that does Discard.
Please reason the Hand from other party's Discard and win.
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We thought this might be our new go-to for Mahjong on our phone. The game is fun and one of the better versions for mobile Mahjong. However it has the most annoying pop up ads we have ever seen. Be prepared to sit through pops ups every time you change the screen. Ive never heard of an app that actually makes you watch a 30+ second ad just to change the game settings. Thats on top of the pop-ups whenever you start a game, go to the menu, or try to look at your records. The final straw was the pop up that appeared when we closed the app.
We love Mahjong Souls but often we dont have good internet on our phone or emough time to play with other people online, this app is perfect for those times as the games go by much much faster with CPU playing quickly and you can stop and pick your game back up later.
This is great for a quick game and its riichi. This is a faster game to get going than mahjong13tiles, but that game requires you to tilt your phone landscaped and the audio is too strident for privacy. This one has a great feel. Glad theres a free version but Id part with $2.99 Ill have to ask… Make sure to set weak computer or you may not win too often.
Would be better if add a slow pace mode. Better voice act. Maybe paid version is better.
The app is pretty great, and it doesn't bug, at least for us. It has a lot of cool features that some people might find useful. We personally really like the music, especially how it changes when someone declares riichi.
Can't turn the screen sideways. Oh well.
We learned how to play Japanese mahjong at pax2015 in Boston. We found this app and started playing right away. Im still learning and having soo much fun.
Thanks to the anime Akagi we have been really into mahjong, and our set doesn't come from japan for a few more weeks. This is perfect if you are short time or players…. Or a set. Still can't figure out how to declare riichi though, and small issue understanding how scoring works, but that our issue not the games. Recommend to you. Yes, you Jim. We know who you are, just get it.
Most important aspect for us was labeling the Char tiles with numbers. Makes it easier to play for those of us that can't read characters. This is the best Japanese mahjong vs. AI app currently available.
This game is really smooth. The music is nice and it helps set the player in a nice mindset. The game is very clean and fluid with no lag. The pictures are ver sharp and the discard button is easy to use.
Good game overall needs a tutorial and we're only able to win with pon hands. Chi open or closed not able to win.
Very good app with almost no bugs.
