Wong Jing, the future hitmaker behind the God of Gamblers franchise, provided the screenplay for , an all-star gambling film starring the suave Patrick Tse! Chicanery erupts when gambling champ Yau Bun Lap (Kwan Hoi Shan) decides to retire, and appoints godson Johnson (Chin Siu Ho) to be his successor. But Yau's adulterous wife May (Ding Pei) is against the idea, and conspires with her lover, slimy gambler Kwok Chu (Ngok Wah), to submarine Johnson and take her husband's gambling businesses for herself. When Johnson falls prey to their nefarious schemes, he finds that he needs the help that only one man can give. That man: Yin Xi Liu (Patrick Tse), a legendary gambler with all the guile and game necessary to take down Johnson's rivals! But can Johnson find Yin first? A large hit in Hong Kong, Mahjong Heroes is an entertaining and mahjong-filled entry into this most unique of Hong Kong Cinema genres!
