Riichi — Riichi — [The hand must be closed]
Closed waiting hand declared at 1000 points stake.

The player must declare riichi by clearly saying "riichi", rotating the discarded tile sideways and paying 1000 points to the table by placing a stick by the discards.

If an opponent claims the rotated discard for winning, the riichi declaration is voided and the 1000 points are returned to the riichi declarer. If an opponent claims the rotated tile for a melded group, the riichi declarer must rotate his next discarded tile.
A player is not allowed to declare riichi if there are less than four tiles left in the wall.

A player who declared riichi can no longer change his hand. However, he may declare a concealed kantsu if he draws a tile matching a concealed kōtsu, if this does not change the waiting pattern and if the three tiles can only be interpreted as a kōtsu in the original riichi hand. (E.g. in case of three consecutive kōtsu in the same suit, no kantsu may be declared, since the tiles can be interpreted as three identical shuntsu).

It is permissible for a player who is furiten to declare riichi.

Ippatsu — Ippatsu — [The hand must be closed]
A player who declares Riichi will be rewarded for Ippatsu if he wins during the next uninterrupted set of rounds, including if he wins by self-draw on his next draw.

Double Riichi — Daburu riichi — [The hand must be closed]
A player who declares Riichi during the first un-interrupted set of turns will be rewarded for Double Riichi.
