Still remember how delirious i was over my 13 yao? Tracy has once again achieved something against probability.

Thats the

八仙过海

* Any player who collects two complete groups of four flower tiles (a total of eight flower tiles) scores the limit (Generally, there appears to be a lack of agreement as to the number of points actually scored by this hand. However, in practice, this combination simply scores the maximum number of points) , and automatically wins the game as a zì-mō (自摸) win for the player who collected the flower tile-set. This is called 八仙过海, a type of huā-hù (花胡). The combination of hidden cards held by the player does not matter at all, and the game is considered to have been won.
Instant payment

Note 1: The player who completes the flower set has triggered 3 events, on top of winning the game. He has gathered

a) Both flowers (red and blue) which corresponds to his seat wind. This is a yǎo-dào (咬到) event.

b) A complete set of red flowers. This is a àn-gàng (暗杠).

c) A complete set of blue flowers. This is a àn-gàng (暗杠).

All 3 events above are liable for one-time compensation by the rest of the playing parties, if the event themselves are not compensated already. This is on top of the payout given to the winning party by winning the game.

Note 2: If a player has already drawn seven flower tiles, and any of the other three players draws the last flower tile, the player with the seven tiles to have won the game (七抢一) by a discard of the player that draws the flower tile (The player who draws the last flower, strictly speaking, does not discard the tile. However, due to the immense probabilistic difficulty of achieving a complete 8 flower-tile huā-hù (花胡), such a situation described above is considered a sufficient condition for a huā-hù (花胡) event.)

Note 2.1: The player who drew the last flower tile, and thus causing the player with seven flower tiles to win the game, will thus be the 'guilty' party, and is subjected to the same payout scheme described in Table 1.1.

Note 2.1.1: It is extremely important that, in the event that

a player amasses seven flower tiles, but the eighth flower did not appear in the course of the game, and the game ends in a stalemate (with 15 un-drawn tiles remaining),

the player who amasses the seven flower tiles must, just before the last tile (which is the 16th tile from the back) is drawn, declare that he demands an inspection of everyone's hidden hand. After this declaration and upon the ending of the game, the rest of the playing parties should reveal their hidden hand to the declaring player. If he discovers that one of the parties has been keeping the eighth flower within his hidden hand, he is considered to have won the game with a huā-hù (花胡), even if the game has already ended. The 'guilty' party can either be made to pay for everyone's losses (known as bāo (包)), or pay as if the game was won mid-way, as it should be. This will depend on the agreement between all playing parties. Any party who does not heed the declaration of card inspection and proceeds to dismantle the tiles upon stalemate (so that it will be impossible for the declaring player to inspect his cards) will also be deemed to be guilty of holding on the eight in secret, and the declaring player is considered to have won the game as again with a huā-hù (花胡).

Note 2.2: As described above, the winning party should not disclose his hidden hand, in the event of a huā-hù (花胡), if it does not fulfill the criteria of any winning combinations. If he does, some players may consider this to be cheating, or zhà-hú (詐胡), and the winning-turned-losing party must compensate the rest of the playing parties.
