Mahjong tile
A mahjong tile includes a main body, a cover, a magnet, an induction chip, and a transparent board. The main body has a chip trough at an inner side thereof, connecting poles protruding from a top surface thereof, and a tile face trough at a bottom thereof. The cover corresponds to the main body and has connecting holes and an accommodation trough at a bottom thereof. The magnet is accommodated in the accommodation trough. Upper and lower ends of the magnet are magnet poles of the magnet. The induction chip is for a sensor to read the suite and numeric of the mahjong tile. The magnet of the mahjong tile supplies magnetism, enabling the mahjong tile to be delivered for playing a computer game with the amusement of the real mahjong tile. This can prevent the players from touching the tiles and increase the fairness of the game.

SHUFFLE AND DEAL DEVICE FOR MAHJONG TILES
A shuffle and deal device for mahjong tiles includes mahjong tiles, a shuffle mechanism, and a deal mechanism. Each mahjong tile includes an inner magnet therein. The shuffle mechanism includes a cylinder formed with through holes each provided with a magnet assembly for attracting the inner magnet. The cylinder brings the mahjong tiles to be turned. The deal mechanism includes a tall side board and a short side board. A conveying belt is provided between the tall side board and the short side board. An outer side of the short side board is provided with a guide wheel. A front end of the deal mechanism is inserted in the cylinder. The mahjong tiles are brought by the cylinder to pass the short side board and be blocked by the tall side board to disengage from the magnet assembly and drop on the conveying belt to be delivered out.

Push device for mahjong tiles
A push device for mahjong tiles includes an input platform, a lift mechanism, a changeover platform, and a push mechanism. The lift mechanism includes a lift platform composed of an upper platform and a lower platform. The changeover platform is disposed at one side of the lift platform. The push mechanism includes a U-shaped push frame movable between the input platform, the lift platform, and the changeover platform. Thereby, the U-shaped push frame pushes the mahjong tiles from the input platform to the lower platform. When the mahjong tiles on the lower platform reaches a predetermined amount, the U-shaped push frame pushes the mahjong tiles to the changeover platform. The lift platform descends and the U-shaped push frame pushes the mahjong tiles from the changeover platform to the upper platform. The lift platform ascends again and the input platform inputs the mahjong tiles for the next game.
Stacking device for mahjong tiles
A stacking device for mahjong tiles includes a main frame, a link rod, a side frame, and a lift seat. The main frame is coupled with a turning wheel having a guide trough. The guide trough has an annular indentation section. The link rod has a retaining pivot portion, a link pivot portion, and a guide roller pivot portion pivotally connected with a first guide roller. The first guide roller is located in the guide trough. The side frame is provided with two rails. The rails are provided with a slide seat connected with a push board. The slide seat has a slide groove. The turning wheel can bring the slide seat to displace. The lift seat includes a platform and a slide board beneath the platform. The link pivot portion is pivotally connected to a lower end of the slide board.
Mahjong Pattern Game
A method of playing a patterned Mahjong game is disclosed, including the following steps: 1) preparing tiles, 2) dealing the tiles for players, 3) flipping a tile first to determine an attribute of the player, 4) flipping a next tile and checking whether a pattern on the next tile flipped is the same as the attribute of the player, 5) performing the next operation in accordance with above step 4) for the next player, and 6) determining a winner.
