Red Mahjong is a free app that allows you to play mahjong online on your iPhone or iPad. Whether you want to compete against real mahjong players or practice against training bots, this app provides a 24/7 platform for mahjong enthusiasts.

With Red Mahjong, you can enjoy different variations of mahjong, including Hong Kong mahjong, Japanese Riichi, and Red Mahjong for 2-4 players. Originating from China, mahjong is a strategic game that can be learned quickly, allowing you to start playing in minutes.

Similar to card games like gin rummy, mahjong involves drawing and discarding tiles while collecting sets. In Red Mahjong, your goal is to assemble 4 sets of 3 tiles and one pair. Sets can be a sequence of 3 tiles (chow) or 3 tiles of a kind (pung).

To play Red Mahjong, an internet connection is required. However, a WiFi connection is not strictly necessary as the app performs well even with a slow 3G connection. Additionally, the app automatically reconnects you if your connection is lost. Moves in the game are timed, and if you fail to make a move within the allotted time, a standard pick-and-discard move will be made for you.
