Who is the dealer at the beginning of mahjong?

When mahjong begins, the dealer's position will be determined by rolling the dice:

For example, the person sitting in the "East" position rolls the dice and starts to count the position counterclockwise. If the number of points is 7, then count down in turn, 1 is east, 2 is north, 3 is west, 4 is south, and then after a circle, 5 is east, 6 is north and 7 is west. Then, the banker's position is in the west.

The dealer rolls the dice, and the sum of the points of the three dice is the base of this card. Take the dealer as the first, count in counterclockwise order, and the position of counting points is the card wall where cards are opened.

Counting the pier cards with the same number of points in turn from right to left, the dealer starts to draw two cards, and the next family draws cards in clockwise order until everyone draws three cards *** 12, then the dealer jumps cards (every other pier card) to grab the two cards above, and others draw one card in turn. The dealer * * * has 14 cards, while others each have 13 cards.
