Teen Patti is a traditional game that originated in India. If you’ve ever played poker, you’ll recognize the parallels between this game and “Three Card Poker.” 

Whatever level you are now on, we guarantee that by the end of this instruction on how to play Teen Patti, you will be an expert.

The first advantage of Teen Patti is that it is really simple to learn and master. If you understand the game’s rules and hand rankings, you’re ready to learn how to place your bet in a Teen Patti casino.

Teen Patti Hand Ranking (Rules)

If you’ve heard of Teen Patti before, you’ve probably heard of family members playing the game together. Fortunately, Ezugi has created an online version of the game that is quite identical to the traditional Indian version.

We’ll go over the hand values and which cards you’ll need to combine to get those hands.

Let’s get started with Teen Patti’s hand ranking:

  1. Trail or Set
  2. Pure sequence
  3. Sequence (Run)
  4. Colour
  5. Pair
  6. High Card

As you can see from the list, Teen Patti only allows you to hit six different types of hands. The hands can, of course, differ within the categories, but they all rank the same. 

It’s time to get more specific and explain what cards you need to obtain before you can have one of the ranked hands.

  • Trial or Set

Many people refer to the trail or set as Three of a Kind or Trio. This hand requires three cards of the same value. Three aces is the highest-ranked trail combination, while three 2s is the lowest-ranked trail combination.

  • Pure Sequence

A Pure Sequence in Teen Patti is equivalent to a Straight Flush in poker. If you have three cards in a row of the same colour (symbol), you have this hand. The highest-ranked Pure Sequence in the same colour is A-K-Q (Ace – King – Queen), and the lowest-ranked Pure Sequence is 4-3-2 in the same colour.

  • Sequence (Run)

As we’ve come to expect from Teen Patti hands, they’re all comparable to poker hands but don’t always have the same name. A straight in Teen Patti is known as Sequence or Run. You must have three cards in a row to achieve this hand. With this type of Sequence, colour is irrelevant. A-K-Q is the highest-ranking Sequence, whereas 4-3-2 is the lowest-ranking Sequence.

  • Colour

In contrast to other poker varieties, the Flush, or Color as it is known in Teen Patti, has a lower value than the Straight. For those of you who are new to the game, a ‘Colour’ is three cards with the same symbol. The number does not contribute to reaching the Color, but if two or more persons, including the dealer, have the same number, the numbers will be used as a tie-breaker. The highest-ranked Colour in the same colour is A-K-J, and the lowest-ranked Colour is 5-3-2.

  • Pair (Two of a kind)

A pair is the second simplest hand to obtain in Teen Patti and is also the lowest valued hand. To get a Pair, you must get two cards with the same value. In Teen Patti, the highest-ranked Pair is A-A-K, with the K serving as a kicker (high-card), while the lowest-ranked Pair is 2-2-3, with the 3 serving as the kicker.

  • High Card

High Card, like poker, is the lowest-ranking hand in Teen Patti. That is simple to grasp because a High Card is the name of the hand you hold when you have nothing but random numbers. The highest-ranked High Card with fewer than three of the same sign is A-K-J, and the lowest-ranked High Card with less than three of the same symbol is 5-4-2.

How Does Online Teen Patti Betting Work?

We’re moving on to another basic ability in the game after thoroughly reviewing the rules of Teen Patti. We’re now delving deeper into how betting works in Teen Patti.

There is a betting framework in place that will govern how the game plays out when playing Teen Patti online or with your family or friends. You will now be given the various types of wagers you must make in order to play in the game, which are divided into sections:

  • Entry Fee (Ante)

When playing Teen Patti, there is usually an entry fee for each hand dealt. This fee is also known as an ante or the boot amount. This ante can be an equal amount for every player or a single bigger amount put down by one player in a rotation.

The ante in the online casino version will be a set amount per player, as everyone is free to rise up and leave the table at any time. The amount you place in ante determines how much you can bet later.

  • Call and Raise

After being dealt your cards, you have the option to call or raise. After you’ve placed your ante in online Teen Patti, the dealer will distribute cards to each player at the table. When making this option, keep in mind that you are not competing against other players online, only the dealer. If you believe you have a good chance of beating the dealer, you can call with the same sum you anted previously. If you want to increase your stake, you can do so by placing twice as much as you did as ante.

  • Online vs Real life betting in Teen Patti

If you’ve ever played real-life Teen Patti, you’ll notice that the Post bet and Blind bet aren’t available while betting online. The post bet is a mandatory wager that a player must place before returning to the game following a break or trip to the lavatory. A blind is a forced bet similar to Ante that is only applicable in Teen Patti.

Another distinction between the two, as previously stated, is that you only play against the dealer. Because you are not competing against the other players at the table, the two types are slightly different.

Conclusion

Teen Patti is a simple game to learn, especially for novices. We’ve discovered that a player can only receive six different types of hands and that the card ranking may be found farther up on this page. The online casino version of Teen Patti is quite similar to the real-life version, with the exception of the betting structure and the fact that you play against the dealer rather than other players.
