Mahjong Jong-Tei (Japan, NM532-01)

Dynax’s Mahjong Jong-Tei arrived in Japan in 1999 as a video arcade game centered on the tabletop classic, mahjong. Designed for three players simultaneously, the game presents a gambling-themed variation of the traditional ruleset. Players arrange and match tiles to create sets and sequences, aiming to be the last player with remaining chips. The title translates from Japanese to "Mahjong Jong Emperor," reflecting the competitive nature of the gameplay. As a medal game, it likely utilized a system involving inserted coins for betting and earning rewards within the game’s structure. Notably, Mahjong Jong-Tei marked the final release under the Dynax Soft Division banner; following its launch, the company transitioned their mahjong development operations to Techno-top.
