New Mahjong Time Features!

Dear Mahjong Time Players,

We are bringing to your attention that soon we will have our system improved with multiple interesting features and a new game interface!
We would like to introduce our players to the changes before the release and "listen" to their opinions via our Blog. You can discuss and bring new thoughts by posting your comments on the feature to the corresponding post.

Dragon Chips and Golden Coins

With the new system we are introducing an internal currency consisted of: Dragon Chips (DC) and Golden Coins (GC).
Dragon Chips are a type of currency used within the game. Dragon Chips are used as entry fee for Fun Games.
All the players receive Dragon Chips daily if the amount of Dragon Chips in their accounts is less than 1000 Dragon Chips. Free Players receive 1000 Dragon Chips per day. Premium Users receive 1000 Dragon Chips 3 times a day and VIP members receive Dragon Chips 5 times per day! You can also Convert Golden Coins to Dragon Chips at a conversion rate of 1 Golden Coin for 100 Dragon Chips.
The Fun Games require an amount of Dragon Chips to be joined: 100, 200, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 5000, 10000
For example: The Prize Fund for a 100 DC Fun game wil be: 100*4=400-% depending on the membership type of the winner.
Each type of member has a certain rake that is applied to his winning pot.
Rake from Dragon Chips is taken from the winner(s) as follows:

The rake for Free Players is 15% so if the game had an entry fee of 100 Dragon Chips – and you won while being a Free Player – you will receive 340 Dragon Chips. If you are a Premium Player you would get 380 Dragon Chips – a 5% rake applied to the pot. A VIP Player would receive the full winning pot of 400 Dragon Chips – with no rake applied to it!
Golden Coins are a type of internal currency that can be used to enter certain tournaments and purchase unique avatars. You can play Fun Games by converting Golden Coins to Dragon Chips, also you can prove your uniqueness by creating your custom avatar in the Virtual Shop.
Golden Coins can be purchased in the Cashier menu at a rate of 100 Golden Coins=$1

The conversion table between Dragon Chips and Golden Coins is:

New Jackpot structure

The new Jackpot will be available for the following Mahjong styles: Hong Kong, Riichi Competition and Taiwanese Mahjong.
The Jackpot for each style is divided by entry fees into 5 levels each covering games with certain entry fees:

Note: Each level of Jackpot is separate. You can participate in multiple levels!
For example if you play one $1 cash game and one $5 cash game as result you become participant in two levels of Jackpot (Copper and Bronze).
Choose a level, play games in that entry fee range and win – all it takes is to be active for just a few hours!
Jackpots for each style and level last for 6 hours. The Schedule is as follows:

You can play for and win multiple Jackpots in just a few hours!
