The Deck and the Deal
Teen Patti is played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Player left of the dealer is called the left blind, also known as the small blind; they make the initial bet in the game. The player left of the left blind is called the right blind, also known as the big blind; they double the bet of the left blind. The positions of the dealer and the two blinds rotate clockwise after each game. The dealer is identified by the small black dealer button with D next to one of the poker players.
After the blinds make their bets, the dealer passes out three cards to each player. The cards are dealt face down clockwise starting with the player next to the dealer.
How to Play
After players receive their three cards, a round of betting occurs, beginning with the player left of the right blind. In rounds of betting, players can either call (match the previous bet), raise (make a higher bet than the previous one), fold (resign from the deal / round), or check (pass on betting).
After the round of betting, any remaining players must reveal their cards. The player with the best possible three card hand rank wins the pot. If only one player is left, they automatically win the pot and don't have to reveal their cards.
Scoring
Player with the best possible three card hand rank (or the last player left if everyone folds) wins the pot every round.
Winning
All players start with the same points balance and compete over deals / rounds to amass as many coins as they can or eliminate other players (when they run out of points). The player with the highest number of points or the last player standing wins the game.
Variations
CardzMania supports several customizable rules and options so you can play Teen Patti exactly how you like or how you grew up playing with your friends and family. In addition to the classic way of playing, we often have new creative options for you to try to spice up the game if you are interested in trying different spins for fun.
Points
Players start the game with a set amount of points. If they run out of points, they are out of the game.
Rounds
Players determine a set amount of rounds (also known as hands or deals) that the game will go to (instead of the points selection above).
Timer
Players only have a set amount of time to make their turn after which a turn is automatically played for them and the game proceeds: Fast is 7 seconds, Standard is 15 seconds, Slow is 30 seconds, and Very Slow is 60 seconds. Players can also choose to disable the timer, but that is only for private tables.
Betting Types
Players can choose to add either blinds or an ante to the game.
Ante
Players add a predetermined amount to the pot before the game starts.
Limited Betting
Players have a limit to the max they can bet.
Reraise
Players can raise multiple times.
Sit out
Players can choose to sit out for a round.
Buyback
Players can buy back points if they are almost out.
Jokers
Players can choose whether to play with jokers in the deck. Jokers act as wildcards and are automatically chosen to reflect the best possible hand.
Betting Basics
Betting games are played with a group of people circled around a table. After being dealt a hand of cards, players bet that their hand is the highest among the group.
Betting games typically center around having the highest ranked hand in a group of players. Before the hands are dealt, betting games normally require an ante, or an initial bet that starts the pot, or the winner's prize. After receiving their cards, players make bets over who has the highest ranked hand. Players do not need to bet according to their real hand; they can bluff, or lie, in hopes that other players fold from the game rather than challenge their hand. Either the last player betting or the player with the highest hand between the last players betting, wins the pot of bets.
All players start with the same points balance and compete over deals / rounds to amass as many points as they can or eliminate other players (when they run out of points). The player with the highest number of points or the last player standing wins the game.
Ranking of Cards
In most betting games, Aces are high and 2s are low. In the event of a tie, suits are then ranked from (Low) Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs (High). Instead of looking at the suits, players can break ties using the kicker.

Terms and Definitions
Ante: A bet made to start the pot before the actual game begins. Everybody pitches the same amount for the ante.
Blinds: The blinds are the two players left of the dealer. The player left of the dealer is called the left blind, also known as the small blind; they make the initial bet in the game. The player left of the left blind is called the right blind, also known as the big blind; they double the bet of the left blind. Blinds also determine the minimum amount of bet a person can make. The blind amount is usually increased after a few rounds to help speed up the game.
Bluffing: Making a bet despite not having a good enough hand to bet on. This is done in the hope that someone with a good hand will fold instead of continuing with the game.
Buyback: Players can buy back points if they are almost out.
Call: To make an equal bet to the previous bet. This is the minimum amount you need to bet to stay in the game.
Check: To pass on making a bet. This can only be done if no bets have been made thus far.
Double Down: In Blackjack, players can 'double down', or double their bet, if they are confident that they will win.
Flop: In Texas Holdem, the Flop round is the second round in which the dealer reveals 3 community cards.
Fold: To resign from the game, giving up the bets you have made in the pot. Once you fold, you forfeit from any winnings even if you end up having the best hand.
Hitting: In Blackjack, players can 'hit' and request an additional card for their hand.
Kicker: The Kicker is the second highest card (after the hand rank). It usually only comes to play as a tiebreaker when you have the same hand rank as another player.

Sit Out: In this variation, players can choose to sit out for a round.
Splitting: In Blackjack, players can split their hand if they are dealt two identical cards. After splitting, their bet is doubled and they receive two more cards.
Standing: In Blackjack, standing means that you do not want any more cards dealt to you.
Pot: The total amount of bets made.
Pre-Flop: In Texas Holdem, the Pre-Flop is the first round in which the dealer passes out two cards to everyone and in which initial bets are made.
Push: In Blackjack, to push means that your hand and the dealer's hand are equal. Nobody wins or loses when there is a push.
