Teen Patti, also known as Indian Poker or Flash, is a popular card game that originated in India. It is a gambling game that shares similarities with the British card game Three Card Brag and the American card game Poker. The name "Teen Patti" translates to "Three Cards" in English, which reflects the core structure of the game. Here's a basic overview of how Teen Patti is played: Number of Players: Teen Patti is typically played with 3 to 6 players. Deck of Cards: The game is usually played with a standard 52-card deck. Jokers are not used in Teen Patti. Objective: The primary objective is to have the best three-card hand and win chips or money from other players. Card Rankings: Trail or Set: Three cards of the same rank. This is the highest-ranking hand. Pure Sequence: Three consecutive cards of the same suit. Sequence: Three consecutive cards not necessarily of the same suit. Color: Three cards of the same suit, not in sequence. Pair: Two cards of the same rank. High Card: If none of the above combinations are made, the hand with the highest card wins. Betting Rounds: Each player antes a predetermined amount into the pot at the beginning of the game. Betting then proceeds in a clockwise direction during different rounds. Players can choose to bet, call, raise, or fold, depending on the strength of their hand and their confidence in winning. Showdown: After the final betting round, if more than one player remains, a showdown occurs. Players reveal their cards, and the player with the best hand wins the pot. Variations: Teen Patti has several variations, including variations in betting rules, hand rankings, and the use of wild cards. Blind and Seen Cards: Some variations involve players having one or more unseen (blind) cards and one or more seen cards. Winning: The player with the best hand at the showdown wins the pot. If all other players fold before the showdown, the last remaining player wins without showing their cards. Teen Patti is not only played for entertainment but often involves stakes, making it a form of gambling. As with any gambling game, players should exercise caution and be mindful of responsible gaming practices. It's also worth noting that local rules and variations may exist, contributing to the diverse ways in which Teen Patti is played.
