The price of mahjong tables varies depending on the brand, materials, and functions. There are three main types on the market: low-end, mid-range, and high-end. Low-end tables are typically used in game rooms, are moderately priced, have plastic frames, and offer basic functions. Mid-range tables are suitable for home use, are slightly more expensive, have superior frame materials, and add practical features such as folding legs, automatic drying, and a closed, quiet design. High-end tables are mostly luxury commercial or home use, are more expensive, have solid wood frames, and unique designs.
Next, we will delve into the working principle of mahjong tables. Mahjong machines originated in Japan. Their working principle involves the back of the mahjong tiles being attracted by a magnetic ring on the shuffling drum and rotating with the ring to be conveyed to a transport trough. At the machine head, a stacking motor pushes the tiles into a pile, which is then pushed away by a chain rod. Tiles with non-magnetic faces continue to rotate on the table. Furthermore, while the name for mahjong varies from place to place, the back of the mahjong tiles contains magnets or other materials that attract magnetic forces, while the front does not.
When operating the mahjong table, the button in the center of the table controls opening and closing the compartments, as well as shaking the dice. Pressing the open button automatically opens the compartment, allowing another set of mahjong tiles to be pushed in. Pressing the button repeatedly will automatically close the compartment. Simultaneously, a motor drives a turntable and chain (with push rods mounted on the chain) to rotate, automatically controlled by an electronic chip. The pre-shuffled tiles will automatically rise, and this cycle repeats.
