Not sure if this is just available in America, but the MyVegas App for your phone and/or game on Facebook is a good way to get some free perks on your next trip to Las Vegas. You can play slot games for free and earn coins/points to cash in for free food, shows, hotel rooms, etc...

I would suggest Mahjong Tengokuhai, though it's only available on iOS/Android.
I've introduced plenty of my friends who are new to mahjong to that app and they play it regularly so I assume they quite like it. You can set the timer to however long you want. Max is 300 seconds.
I play this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ishihata_tech.android.mj2
The interface is in English. A few things are translated a little bit weirdly but I've not come across anything that gave me a problem.
My game of choice for mobile is Maujong for Android.
The game isn't that flashy graphically, but I like the controls for the interface. The AI is reasonable, without feeling like it just cheats when it needs to, and I like the fact that I can customise the ruleset if I want to play something a little bit different or practice certain rulesets. Also it's in English so I don't feel like I'm missing out half the features by the fact I don't understand Japanese brilliantly.
I'm currently addicted to Power of Coin which is embarrassingly stupid. I think it's the epic soundtrack and theyve got the regen timer set perfectly to "just one more try"
In fact, I think I hear it calling me now :p
I really liked this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=blackjack.allin1.com&hl=en_US&gl=US
Play with it a bit, and then buy the "Card Counting" portion. It's super worth it.
I believe I'm using the English version of the one you are talking about. It is just called "Maujong" by Ishihata industry. Here is the the link for Android.

One good thing about it is that it is easy on the battery.
Correct. Some companies also skirt that second part by letting you exchange the virtual currency for real life deals like hotels, trips, etc...

I have this, which has great graphics and game play but damn the IAP are expensive! Anyone have an alternative BlackJack game to recommend?

When you're given the option to make a call, the tile will flash. Meaning it doesn't always show in screenshots depending on your timing.
The app is named "Maujong", it's a bit dated now (hasn't been updated in 8 years!) but I still use it from time to time and it does let you know when you can call Richii

There's an app for Android called Blackjack All-in-One Trainer and it's worked well for me as a training software. It comes with guides, drills, and game play, as well as simulations you can run. It's only a few dollars but I highly recommend it for on the go and as a cheap alternative to CVBJ, however CVBJ is a good investment once you can afford it.

Buy all of the upgrades for about $5. Think of it as an investment. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=blackjack.allin1.com&hl=en_US&gl=US IF you download Bluestacks you can play on your PC.

You can try maujong or kemono mahjong from mobile phone. No internet connection required.

So far, I’ve played in Maujong, Tenhou, and Mahjong VirtualTENHO-G! The closest example I know that allows you to make Chombo is Maujong on Android. In Maujong, if you go to Settings → Guide → Off , it lets you make Chombo/mistakes such as:
But the app doesn’t let you call Chii/Pung/Kan randomly like real life. It still have restrictions. It still counts the points automatically. In the Japanese Language mode of Maujong, the app lists all the Fu in addition to Han. Unfortunately, in the English mode only list the Han (for reasons unknown).
On declaring scores manually, that would be an interesting idea. This imaginary app could give an option for the user to count their own score, and then compare it with the real score. As a beginner, I would be interested in such app.
i prefer maujong. it has a lot of customizable settings and you can set two custom rule sets. the main menu UI kind of sucks but the in game UI is fairly standard (everyone is seated where they are supposed to, as opposed to kemono mahjong) and is not a shitty attempt at 3d.
For riichi I quite like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ishihata_tech.android.mj2
The AI is okay, you can play with customised rulesets (and the number of options is pretty huge), it's mostly in English (messing around with the advanced settings might require some knowledge or googling of japanese terms, but the main game is English), and it's free.
Graphically it's not as flashy as others I've seen but for a free app it's functional and pretty good.
When will you be back?
And yep you can. You can either play on [Tenhou](www.tenhou.net/3) or on Mahjong Tengokuhai app in iOS/Android
I have a good one that I use regularly but it's all in Japanese. It's called Mahjong Tengokuhai. If you can read a little bit of hiragana/katakana/kanji it will help tremendously. If not, well you can ask me if you encounter any problem, I'll try my best to help.
You can also try Tenhou.net but it's also all in Japanese unless you install the chrome/mozilla add-on to have it translated to English. The unfortunate thing is that most good clients are in Japanese, so you'll have to bear with that.
That aside, are you interested in playing offline? If you live in Jakarta let's meet up and play!
The third menu from the top is for creating a lobby for playing with friends and you can fill the empty slots with bots.
The rules are extremely similar to Tenhou so once you're confident enough to go against other players you can switch to Tenhou without having a huge detriment to your gameplay.
It's all in Japanese though so if you have any trouble navigating the app feel free to ask.
I use the app from Hangame.

Not sure of the correct translation, but it runs pretty smoothly on my phone. Downside is you have to make an account (for free) to play, and it does require some extra downloading to get fully fleshed. But it has online (which I have yet to test, anyone wanna help?) and single player.
That being said, use what you like, so long as you get to play.
Typically I play this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ishihata_tech.android.mj2&utm_source=downloadatoz.com
Decent interface in-game, loads of flexibility to customise rulesets, and a decent balance of AI from not so good to reasonably good.
Are you sure about that? I haven't seen any direct limitations on the Free games. You are talking about this app, right?
I found the Brainium line of card games to have minimally invasive ads and a mute option.

I bought the premium version of their Freecell. I'm addicted.
MyVegas Blackjack is what I play. You earn loyalty points when you play that you can actually redeem in Vegas for stuff like Hotel rooms and what not. They also have a slots app and all the loyalty points from both apps go together. I enjoy it because I feel like I'm playing for something other than fake money lol. I've already earned over 30,000 points.
Blackjack by Branium, a simple no bs blackjack game with no micro-transactions or annoying ads, in fact the only time it shows ads is when you need more chips. Looks pretty good, even if it's not material/flat. Worth the great low price of free. I wish there was a poker game with a similar no-annoying model
It's for Net MJ, a riichi mahjong client made by Sega. It's on the Japanese iTunes and Google Play stores, but it's not region-locked, so you can get an APK or make a .jp iTunes account to download it.
