How to play Teen Patti?
As this is a gambling card game, players have to put out a bet, also known as Ante, which is a fixed amount of money decided by the players. After the amount gets decided, they put the money on the table, and then start the game.
The players get handed three cards put face down on the table. Now the next step is to make a call or a raise.

A raise gets made when the player wants to add cash in the pot and raise the stake of winning a large amount or losing it.
Three cards each qualify in each round- 3 cards of the players and 3 of the dealers. The aim of the game is for the dealer to have a Queen or higher than the cards that got dealt. After this, the cards are put on the table facing upwards and whoever has the better hand, wins.
Few Teen Patti rules
Three Aces in the stack get valued as the highest-rated cards and two are the lowest. The straight flush is the best hand, while three cards with the same ranking are 3 of a kind. A sequence is when three consecutive cards are dealt with but not from the same suit.
When all the cards are dealt, anyone with the highest card, for example, A in this scenario, wins.
The game continues till someone decides to fold or the end of the cards. In this case, the player with the highest card ranking wins the amount at bet. In any case, if the cards at the end are of equal ranking, then the player who requested the show, ends up losing.
Strategies to help you win
Placing smaller bets every time helps increase the chance of continuous betting and keeping the game alive, but it also helps the player to not become bankrupt. The player should also keep in mind, to not show a change in emotion if they get dealt with better cards, as that will help them to confuse their opponent.
The player should have a basic knowledge about the game before sitting down to bet their money. The players should also not get very emotional, as it is only a fun game. If the player gets nervous, then they won’t be able to make rational decisions.
