=== Ties ===
When the player and dealer display hands with the same score, the one with the highest-valued tile (based on the named pair rankings described above) is the winner.<ref name=Helprin86 />{{rp|204}} For example, a player's hand of 3-4 and 2-2 (''Chit'' and ''Bon'') and a dealer's hand of 5-6 and 5-5 (''Foo'' and ''Mooy'') would each score one point. However, since the dealer's 5-5 (''Mooy'') outranks the other three tiles, he would win the hand.

If both have a bonus combination (Wong or Gong) or the scores are tied, and if the player and dealer each have an identical highest-ranking tile, then the dealer wins.<ref name=Helprin86 />{{rp|205}} For example, if the player held 2-2 and 1–6 (''Bon'' and ''Tit''), and the dealer held 2-2 and 3–4 (''Bon'' and ''Chit''), the dealer would win since the scores (1 each) and the highest-ranked tiles (2-2 ''Bon'') are the same. The lower-ranked tile in each hand is never used to break a tie.

There are two exceptions to the method described above. First, although the Gee Joon tiles form the highest-ranking pair when used together, when used as single tiles in a mixed hand, for tiebreaking purposes, they fall into the mixed-number ranks according to the number of pips. That is, the 2-4 ranks sequentially below the ''Chop Chit'' tiles (3-4 and 2-5), and the 1-2 ranks sequentially last overall, below the ''Chop Ng'' tiles (3-2 and 1-4).<ref name=Helprin86 />{{rp|205}} Second, any zero-zero tie is won by the dealer, regardless of the tiles in the two hands.<ref name=Helprin86 />{{rp|205}}
