Teen Patti

What this play is

Classic Teen Patti is a compare of three-card ranks around a shared pot. Each seated player pays the boot the room card prints, receives three cards, and then chooses, in turn, to pack, to chaal without looking, or to tap seen and chaal at the seen price the screen shows. There is no discard pile, no pure-sequence homework, and no declare. The table ends when everyone but one player packs, or when two players remain and a legal show opens both hands. If thirteen cards landed in a row, you opened rummy by mistake and nothing on this page will group those thirteen.

What the table shows

The screen shows your three cards only after you tap seen; while you stay blind they stay face down to you as well. A pot total sits in the centre. Your turn lights Pack, Blind or Chaal, Seen, and later Show when only two of you remain. A timer sits on the current actor. Seat count, boot, and the chaal step are not invented house numbers on this site; they sit on the room card you tapped. Read that card before you sit. Five or six names around the felt is common, but the printed seat line is the one that counts for this room.

How you win this round

You win the pot when you are the last player who has not packed, or when a show compares two live hands and yours ranks higher. Rank order from strongest to weakest is trail, pure sequence, sequence, colour, pair, then high card. Trail is three of a kind. Pure sequence is three consecutive ranks in one suit. Sequence is three consecutive ranks mixed across suits. Colour is three of one suit that do not run. Pair is two of a rank. High card is everything else, decided by the highest rank, then the next. Matching ranks go to the next card. The winner takes the pot the table has already collected.

How a round starts

After the room fills, every seated player puts the boot the room card prints into the pot. The dealer button moves one seat. Each player receives three cards face down. Action starts left of the dealer. You may stay blind for this first decision, which means you chaal at the blind price the screen shows without looking, or you tap seen, look at the three, and then pack or chaal at the seen price. Blind is cheaper per tap than seen; that is why people stay blind on junk they have not even viewed. Do not wait for a fourth card. Do not wait for a pile. The deal is already complete.

Legal moves — and one that is not

A legal first action is a blind chaal at the amount the current turn prints, paid from the chips already on your seat. Kavya in Pune holds three unseen cards, taps Blind, and the pot grows by that printed chaal. Later she may tap Seen, look, and continue with a seen chaal if the three are a pair of nines with a king kicker. Packing is always legal when it is your turn and you would rather leave the pot than pay again. Showing is legal only when two live players remain and the table offers Show; the player who asks pays the show cost the screen prints, then both hands open.

It is not legal to tap Show while three or more players still have cards. The button stays dull or the table rejects the tap. It is not legal to discard the 4 of clubs because you wanted a run; there is no throw. It is not legal to declare a rummy layout, and it is not legal to chaal for a player who already packed. If you tap Seen and then try to pay the cheaper blind price, the table charges the seen price or refuses the tap. Do not invent a sideshow on this classic tile unless the screen actually offers it; classic show is the two-player open, not a private whisper.

How this round ends

The round ends in one of two clean ways. Either every other player packs and the last live seat takes the pot without opening cards, or two players remain and a show opens both three-card hands. After a show the higher rank wins; if both hold pairs of sevens, the kicker decides, and if kickers match, the table splits or follows the printed tie line on the room card. Cards then return to the shoe, the dealer button moves, and a new boot is collected. Do not sit through a reel spin that replaced the felt; that is another tile.

How the money is counted

Money on this table is the pot: boots plus every chaal paid this round. The winner is paid that pot, minus any service line the room card prints. There is no leftover-point math from rummy, and there is no spin multiplier. If you packed on the second tap, you have already spent the boot and those chaals; you do not get them back because someone later showed a trail. Read the boot on the room card before you sit so the first debit is not a surprise. Fictional walkthrough rupees later on this page are one made-up round, not a printed house ladder.

If you leave early or miss the tap

If the timer ends on your turn, the table packs you and you lose what you have already put in the pot. Leaving the seat mid-hand is the same as packing; the cards go, the money stays. A late Seen tap after you already packed does nothing. If you sit the wrong tile, such as 13-card rummy, you are not in this penalty; you are in another game entirely. First Games does not invent a fixed pack fine for this page; whatever the screen deducts when you miss the tap is what you pay. Stay on the timer.

Buttons on this screen

• Pack — Leaves this hand. Your three cards die. The boot and chaals you already paid stay in the pot for whoever remains.
• Blind — Pays the blind chaal without showing you the three cards. Use it only while you have not tapped Seen.
• Seen — Turns the three cards face up to you. Later chaals use the seen price the turn prints, which is higher than blind.
• Chaal — Pays the current amount to stay in the pot. After Seen this button is the seen chaal, not the blind one.
• Show — Appears when two live players remain. Pays the show cost the screen prints and opens both hands for a rank compare.

Do not mix this up with 13-card Rummy

13-card rummy deals thirteen cards, a closed pile, and a discard, and you win by grouping sequences and sets then tapping declare. Teen Patti deals three cards and you win by packing others out or by winning a show. Colour on this felt is a three-card flush rank, not a rummy suit you are still collecting. A king-high Teen Patti hand is the bottom group; a king in rummy is expensive leftover if it sits ungrouped. Do not wait on this tile for ten more cards. Do not tap Pack thinking it is a rummy drop with a printed quit cost from another game. The two seats share a lobby and share nothing else about how a round ends.

One round, start to finish

Kavya sits a five-player classic table in Pune. The room card prints the boot; she pays it, as do the other four, so the pot starts with those five boots. She is dealt three unseen cards. To her left, a player packs at once. Kavya stays blind and pays the blind chaal the turn shows, call it eighty rupees in this made-up round, and the pot grows. Two seats chaal seen. On her second turn she taps Seen: nine of hearts, nine of clubs, king of spades, a pair of nines with a king. She pays the seen chaal, here one hundred sixty rupees in the story, not a house rule. One more player packs. Two remain. The other seat asks for a show and pays the show cost the screen prints. The other hand is colour, three mixed hearts that do not run. Pair beats colour? No: colour beats pair. Kavya loses the pot. She packed nothing; she simply lost the compare. Next deal she will pack a high-card king instead of paying seen chaals into a colour.

Hand ranks from trail to high card

Say the six groups before you chaal: trail, pure sequence, sequence, colour, pair, high card. A trail of twos still beats an A-K-Q of mixed suits, because the group name wins before the pretty picture. Pure sequence is A-2-3 or Q-K-A in one suit, depending on how this room treats the wheel; read the help line on the table if ace-low is printed. Sequence without one suit sits under pure sequence. Colour is A-9-4 of diamonds, which looks like junk to a rummy player and is the fourth group here. Pair of aces beats pair of kings. High card is K-8-3 rainbow, and it loses to any pair. Do not promote a king-high hand in your head because the lobby art looks royal. Rank the group first, then the top rank inside the group, then the next card.

Blind versus seen on this hand

Blind means you have not looked, so each chaal costs the blind price, and a show against a seen player often costs you less than a seen-versus-seen show; the exact show math is on the Teen Patti show page. Seen means you looked, so you pay more to stay, but you stop chaaling junk. On a fresh three that might be a trail, staying blind for one cheap tap is common among Indian card players who do not want to leak that they liked the hand. On a seen high-card king, packing on the first seen turn is cheaper than matching two raises. Switching from blind to seen is one-way. You cannot close the cards again to recover the cheap price. If the pot is already large and you still have not looked, look; paying blind into a black hole without information is how the last two boots vanish.
