Payout Table

Payouts are per player. For a Self-Help win (self-drawn), all three other players each pay the Self Help amount. For a From Discard win, only the player who discarded the winning tile pays.

Example: A Level 4 self-drawn win earns the winner 3 × $96 = $288 total. A Level 4 discard win earns $64 from the discarder only.

★ Maximum Payout — Level 8 Self Help
