In the game of Mahjong, the chip refers to the colored marks on the cards played, which are used to distinguish the cards of different players. The classic mahjong chips come in three colors, red, green and blue, and each color corresponds to a different player.
In mahjong games without chips, players need to remember each player's cards, order, and wind level by themselves. In the mahjong game with chips, each player has a different color chip on the card played, so that it can be more convenient to distinguish and identify their own and other players' cards. General players can choose to play mahjong with or without a chip, according to their own preferences and needs.
To distinguish between mahjong chips and no chips, you can start from the following aspects:
Appearance: Electronic mahjong sets are usually thicker than traditional mahjong sets because of the need to accommodate the electronic chip. In addition, electronic mahjong sets usually have some electronic components such as buttons and displays, while traditional mahjong sets do not have these components.
Material: Electronic mahjong sets are usually made of plastic, while traditional mahjong sets are made of natural materials such as bamboo or bone.
Weight: Because electronic mahjong sets have components such as electronic chips built into them, they are usually heavier than traditional mahjong sets
