Teen Patti rules and gameplay explained

Teen Patti hands rank from a trail, three cards of the same rank, down through a pure sequence, three consecutive cards of one suit, and a sequence in mixed suits. Below those come a colour, three cards of one suit, then a pair, and finally high card. Three aces is the best hand.

1. 1Trail: three cards of the same rank. Three aces beat three kings.
2. 2Pure sequence: three consecutive cards of the same suit.
3. 3Sequence: three consecutive cards in mixed suits.
4. 4Colour: three cards of the same suit, not in sequence.
5. 5Pair: two cards of the same rank.
6. 6High card: none of the above, ranked by the highest card.

Each player puts in an ante (the boot) and gets three cards. On your turn you can call, raise or pack (fold), and ask for a show when the rules allow. The best hand at a show wins the pot.

A blind player bets without looking at their cards, and their bets usually cost less. A seen player has looked and must bet more per turn. Each table sets its own ratio. Check it in the help screen. Blind play is riskier.

Players can pack at any time. When two remain, one can ask for a show and both hands are compared. The better hand wins the pot. Ties follow the table's rules. Live tables settle automatically. Winnings go straight to your balance.

You might see Muflis, where the lowest hand wins, AK47, where aces, kings, fours and sevens act as jokers, and joker games with a random wild card or rank. Always read the table's help screen, because boot amounts, limits and variant rules differ and override this article.

• Muflis: the lowest hand wins.
• AK47: aces, kings, fours and sevens act as jokers.
• Joker games: a random card or rank is wild.

Always read the table's help screen. Boot amounts, limits and variant rules can differ, and the table's own details override this article. Live casino Teen Patti on King Exchange is usually played against the house: you bet on which hand wins rather than playing other people.

Open the live casino on your King Exchange ID; there's no second account. It shares your balance with cricket. The Indian card games guide covers the live table versions and their payouts. Tables start at ₹100. Set a card budget before you sit down.

Teen Patti rounds are quick, and a balance can drain faster than on one cricket bet. Keep your card budget separate from your cricket plan. Set a number of rounds or a time limit as well as a money limit, and stop when you reach either one.
