Teen Patti, often called " Indian Poker," is a game of skill, strategy, and luck that’s hugely popular across India and beyond. Teen Patti Master brings this excitement to your smartphone—letting you play anytime, anywhere, and even win real money.
But before you jump into a table, it’s crucial to understand the basic rules, hand rankings, and key terms used in Teen Patti Master.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to start playing with confidence!
Teen Patti Master is an online version of the traditional Teen Patti game. It allows you to:
Play with friends or random players
Participate in tournaments
Win real cash prizes
Enjoy special formats like Joker and Muflis
It’s simple to learn but tough to master—making it perfect for both casual players and serious gamers.
The main objective is simple:
➡️ Have the best three-card hand at the table
or
➡️ Make others fold before showdown.
The winner takes the pot, which is the total amount bet by all players in that hand.
Players: 3 to 6 players per table
Deck: Standard 52-card deck (no Jokers unless playing special variants)
Cards Dealt: 3 cards face down to each player
Boot Amount: A mandatory initial bet placed by all players before cards are dealt. It creates the pot.
Once the cards are dealt, players take turns to bet, raise, or fold based on their cards—or their bluffing skills.
Knowing the hand rankings is essential to play smart. Here’s the list:
Hand | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
Trail (Three of a Kind) | Three cards of the same rank | A♠ A♣ A♦ |
Pure Sequence (Straight Flush) | Three consecutive cards of the same suit | 4♠ 5♠ 6♠ |
Sequence (Straight) | Three consecutive cards, different suits | 7♣ 8♦ 9♠ |
Color (Flush) | Three cards of the same suit, not consecutive | 2♠ 7♠ Q♠ |
Pair (Two of a Kind) | Two cards of the same rank | 5♣ 5♦ K♠ |
High Card | Highest single card if no other hand is made | A♠ 7♣ 3♦ |
➡️ Important: In Teen Patti, Aces are usually considered the highest cards.
After cards are dealt, players can:
Pack (Fold) — Give up your hand and exit the round.
Call (Chaal) — Match the current bet to stay in the game.
Raise — Increase the bet amount.
Blind Play — Bet without seeing your cards.
Seen Play — Look at your cards before betting.
Each player must either match or raise the previous bet or fold.
The game continues clockwise until:
All players but one fold
Or two players remain and one demands a showdown.
Term | Meaning |
---|---|
Blind Player | Bets without seeing their cards. Pays half the seen player’s bet. |
Seen Player | Looks at their cards before betting. Pays double the blind player’s bet. |
➡️ Blind players can switch to Seen whenever they choose during their turn.
If only two players are left, one player can request a Show:
Both players reveal their cards.
The player with the higher-ranked hand wins the pot.
Special Tip:
If you’re a blind player, you can only ask for a show if the opponent is also seen. If both players are blind, you must first look at your cards before requesting a show.
Teen Patti Master spices up traditional rules with extra features:
Available only for seen players.
You can request a " side show" with the player who played just before you.
If they accept, both players privately compare cards.
The player with the weaker hand must fold.
Some formats introduce Joker cards that can substitute for any card.
Variants like AK47, Joker Hunt, and Muflis heavily use jokers to change the dynamics.
You start with free chips, but you can buy more or win real money depending on the game mode.
Play responsibly and know when to cash out.
Learning the rules is step one. Winning is the next level!
Here are a few beginner tips:
✅ Start with small bets
Don’t jump into high-stake tables right away.
✅ Master the hand rankings
Confidence comes from knowing when you actually have a strong hand.
✅ Use bluffing sparingly
Bluffing is important, but don’t overdo it—smart players can smell desperation.
✅ Watch opponents
Pay attention to who folds quickly and who bets aggressively. Patterns reveal a lot.
✅ Play Blind Early On
Playing blind can confuse opponents and force mistakes.
✅ Stay calm after losses
Every player faces losing streaks. Stay patient and wait for your comeback.
Betting big without a strong hand.
Forgetting hand rankings and folding a winning hand.
Playing too many hands instead of folding bad ones.
Chasing losses emotionally.
Ignoring opponent behavior and focusing only on their own cards.
Term | Meaning |

Boot | Minimum bet amount to start the pot. |
Blind | Player betting without seeing cards. |
Chaal | Betting after seeing cards. |
Pack | Folding your hand. |
