Abstract
In a mah jong game apparatus for a single player, a predetermined number of tiles randomly selected from a plurality of tiles are supplied to only the single player, and the player completes a hand by combining own tiles while exchanging the supplied tiles and an arbitrary tile in a randomly supplied tile, thereby going out. Thus, the player can enjoy the game while concentrating on making hands independently.
