Basic Rules of Online Teen Patti Games

Teen Patti is one of the most loved card games in the world today. It is a variant of Poker that is also referred to as Flash or Flush. Played with three cards, the game has a stamp of Indian heritage. Its root can be traced back to the British Card game- 3 Card Brag. The game that has a maximum footprint around the Indian sub-continent and South Asia is a ‘must game’ across all age groups during the social get-together and family outings.  

The mass appeal that the game carries with it has prompted the various Online Casino Games sites to give it prominence in their respective gaming libraries. This famous online table game is generally played among 3 to 7 players. The game starts with the ‘Boot’, where a pre-agreed amount as the minimum stake is collected from each player and is placed at the center of the table. The stakes generally grow as the game progresses.

Now, each player is distributed with a set of three cards from a 52 cards deck without jokers, which are placed face down to play with. The bets are placed beforehand like the other poker games. The players have two options i-e, to make a call or a raise. To make a call means the player intends to be in the game without raising his bet whereas he has to add cash to raise the bar if he intends so. That raise will impact the win or loss margin for him.

Now, each player in his turn shall decide to:

See the card to start the further process to continue playing or pack up, or play blind without seeing the cards and add to his initial bet. The current stake for the next player is then the amount that you bet (if he’s playing blind as well) or twice the amount that you bet (if he has seen his cards already).

If you have already seen your cards and you think you wish to play further, you must bet at least as much as the current stake (if the player who bet before you had seen his cards too) or at least twice (if the player who bet before you were playing blind). 

If you have started with a blind, you have seen your cards in the next move, then the betting rules for the seen player will apply to you.

You can continue betting further as per your strategy based on the strength of your cards or your assessment of the situation where you observe that all except one player has folded. Here, the remaining player wins all the Teen Patti chips in the pot, irrespective of the Teen Patti sequence held.

In another situation, where you are pitted against another player the bets are raised again and the same culminates into a showdown. In this case, the strength of the cards for both players will be compared. If the hands are equal then the player asking for a show loses. Otherwise, the player with the higher cards wins the pot.

Teen Patti Sequence

Trail (three cards of the same value): AAA is the highest value trail in the game.

High Card: When neither the dealer nor player has a pair, then the hand with the highest card wins.
