Teen Patti is played with a standard 52-card deck. At the start of each round, every player receives three cards face down. Before the round begins, a mandatory bet (boot) must be placed in the pot.
After receiving cards, a player decides whether to look at their cards (Seen/Chaal) or play without looking (Blind). Blind players bet less and have a better chance of staying in the pot. Seen players must place at least double the minimum bet.
Turns go clockwise. On each turn, a player either places a bet or folds. The round ends when everyone folds except one player, or when two remaining players go to a Show – the higher-value hand wins the pot.
At gallery's Live Teen Patti tables, the dealer manages all card dealing and Show proceedings – ensuring the rules are followed correctly.
