What Happened to Mahjong Dimensions on WorldWinner?
By the PlayWorldWinner editorial team. Last reviewed: . Independent guide, not operated by WorldWinner. How this guide is researched.
Mahjong Dimensions (spelled Mahjongg Dimensions by its developer, Arkadium) is no longer offered on WorldWinner. It does not appear in the current game list in WorldWinner's help center, and WorldWinner has not published a removal date or a reason. WorldWinner has no mahjong title today. The closest current game is Puzzle Match, a timed puzzle built on pairing stones across a stacked board, followed by Crystal Champions, a three-minute match-3. Both have free practice, and players can compete for cash prizes where available.
Is Mahjong Dimensions still on WorldWinner?
No. WorldWinner's help center article "What games are available?" lists the current catalog by category. As of the review date, the Puzzle category includes Block Trail, Crystal Champions, Payline Slots, Poppin' Panic, Puzzle Match, and YAHTZEE: Roll Dice, Win Cash. No mahjong title appears in any category.
On timing: WorldWinner has not published a removal date or a reason that this guide could find in its help center or on its corporate blog, and this guide found no statement from Arkadium or dated reporting on the removal. No date or reason is stated here for that reason.
What Mahjong Dimensions was on WorldWinner
Mahjongg Dimensions is a 3D tile-matching game by Arkadium. Arkadium's own page for the game describes the core loop: rotate a cube of tiles to find and clear matching pairs of identical, unblocked tiles against a timer. The free version is still published by Arkadium.
The cash tournament version came out of a partnership announced on July 20, 2010. In a joint press release, GSN and Arkadium said that a skill-based version of Mahjongg Dimensions, developed by GSN, would be added to Arkadium's Facebook application and to both GSN Cash Games and the WorldWinner partner network. GSN owned WorldWinner at the time.
WorldWinner no longer publishes a rules page for the game, so this guide does not state its scoring values, time limits, or modes. Mahjongg Dimensions is a game by Arkadium, and the name is Arkadium's. This site is an independent guide and is not affiliated with Arkadium or WorldWinner.
What to play now: the closest current WorldWinner games
Puzzle Match is the closest current fit. It is not mahjong and it is not 3D, but the core task is the same kind of thinking: find a legal pair, remove it, and uncover what was underneath. Players pair stones whose shapes fit together to clear a board on which some stones are stacked on others across several levels. Extra stones come from a Pile that reveals three at a time, and a Hold area can park one stone for later.
WorldWinner's help center publishes the Puzzle Match scoring: 50 points per matched pair, a streak bonus of 50 additional points per consecutive match up to 250, a 2,500-point completion bonus, and a time bonus of 10 points x seconds remaining x percent of board cleared. WorldWinner also notes that some boards are not solvable, so choosing when to press END is a real decision. See the in-game scoring table for current values.
Crystal Champions is the second option for players who mainly want a fast matching game. It is a three-minute swap-style match-3 on an eight-by-eight grid, with six levels that multiply scores from x1.0 up to x3.5. The move is different (swapping adjacent gems into lines, not pairing tiles), but the scanning skill is similar.
| Current game | Why it is the closest match | Link path |
|---|---|---|
| Puzzle Match | Timed pair-matching on a stacked, multi-level board, with streak, completion, and time bonuses. Pairs are stones whose shapes fit, not identical mahjong tiles, and the board is not a rotating cube. Web, iOS, and Android. | /games/puzzle-match/ |
| Crystal Champions | Timed matching puzzle that rewards fast pattern scanning. Different core move (swapping gems into lines of three or more). Web, iOS, and Android. | /games/crystal-champions/ |
Can mahjong be played for cash prizes on WorldWinner today?
No. There is no Mahjongg Dimensions game and no mahjong title of any kind in WorldWinner's current catalog, in practice or cash play. Searches such as "mahjong for real money" or "mahjong tournaments for cash" used to lead to this title; on WorldWinner today the nearest match is Puzzle Match, which is a separate game with its own rules.
The tournament model is unchanged. Players pay an entry fee, WorldWinner states that all players within the same Puzzle Match tournament receive the same starting board, and prizes go to the top scores. WorldWinner says cash tournament entry fees start as low as $0.88, with lower-priced tournaments during promotions. Typical entries run up to $5, and premium tournaments cost $10 or more. Winnings are never guaranteed, and an entrant who finishes outside the paid places loses the entry fee.
Players must be 18 or older (higher in some jurisdictions), and cash play varies by location, device, and account. WorldWinner's terms list six states where cash competitions are not offered: Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, South Carolina, and South Dakota. This guide reports that list and does not give legal advice.
This guide does not name or recommend other apps. For anyone evaluating a mahjong app that advertises cash prizes, the neutral checks are whether there is an entry fee and a posted prize, whether every entrant gets the same tile layout, who the opponents are, and how the prize is funded. A free app that pays in points for levels and ads is a different model from a skill tournament.
Balances, game history, and account questions
A WorldWinner account holds one balance that is used across games, not a separate balance for each title. This guide has no access to any account and cannot confirm how an individual balance, an open tournament, or Mahjongg Dimensions game history was handled when the title left.
Account questions go to WorldWinner directly. Support runs through help-center tickets and info@worldwinner.com. There is no live chat.
Two published terms matter for anyone who stopped logging in after a favorite game left. The inactivity fee is $3.50 per month once a cash account has gone 6 consecutive months without a login, and Bonus Bucks expire after 6 months without logging in. Withdrawing forfeits all Bonus Bucks.
How much mahjong skill carries over
The habits that matter in tile-matching carry over well to Puzzle Match: scanning for free pairs, preferring matches that uncover stacked pieces, and keeping a run of consecutive matches alive. Two things are new. The Pile and Hold area add a small resource-management layer, and because some boards cannot be solved, ending early while the time bonus is still large can beat playing on.
Skill ratings on WorldWinner are per game, so a new title starts from scratch. WorldWinner states that opponents are matched by a per-game skill rating and that players never face bots. A run of free practice games is the sensible first step before any paid entry.
