Advantages to Playing Mahjong Online

Author: Neha Agrawal

If you’ve been playing mahjong for years in a local club, with your friends or in a casino, you might wonder if there are any good reasons for you to also play mahjong online, or even switch your action to the online games. The answer is yes. The online game does limit your direct personal contact with other players and if the social aspect is the main reason that you’re playing the game, then online mahjong may only be a limited source of interest to you. But for almost everyone else, especially those who take the game seriously, online mahjong has more to offer.

The first advantage is the convenience that if offers. You can get a game at an online casino any time you want. You don’t have to wait until your friends show up to start play. Since online mahjong sites are international, there are always players looking for action and there is always a game available at any hour.

At an online site, you also don’t have to leave home to play or bring others into your home for a game. You also don’t have to get up and go to a club or casino to play, with worries about parking, petrol or even your safety. You just have to turn on your computer or even your phone to get in on the action.

There is also the matter of gambling. If you’re playing with friends around a table, you might be playing for money, maybe not. When you play online, either at a casino with many other games or at a mahjong only club, you have the option of playing for money or, at almost all sites, playing just for fun.

If you do decide to gamble at the game when you play online, you get to choose the stakes that you want to play for. You don’t have to get the other players around the table to agree with you. You’ll be able to find a table online that meets the financial levels that you are seeking.

In addition to all these other conveniences and choices, playing mahjong games online also can come with rewards you’re not going to find in person. You can join a mahjong site and be given a quite large bonus for your first deposit. In some cases, you might get a sum just for joining.

The benefits will continue as you continue to play at these sites, as your membership will entitle you to rewards of cash or other benefits you are not going to get when you sit around a table with three of your friends.
