How to Play Teen Patti
The basic rules of Teen Patti are straightforward, but the strategic depth is what keeps players coming back. Here is the typical flow of a game at ikaya88:
-
Place the mandatory bet (boot) — All players at the table put in the same starting amount before cards are dealt.
-
Receive three cards — The dealer distributes three cards to each player in counter-clockwise order. Players can choose whether or not to look at their cards.
-
Choose an action — Each round, players choose to stay in (call / raise) or fold. Players playing blind pay half the amount of players playing seen.
-
Showdown and determining the winner — When only two players remain, either player can request a showdown for a set fee. The highest hand wins the entire pot.
Hand hierarchy from highest: Trail (Three of a Kind) → Straight Flush → Straight → Flush → Pair → High Card. Understanding this order is the foundation of every decision at the table.
