Teen Patti Hand Rankings & Rules
Learn the Teen Patti sequence list from strongest to weakest. Compare illustrated hands, resolve common ties and understand the rules that vary between tables.
Teen Patti Hand Ranking Chart
The usual order is Trail → Pure Sequence → Sequence → Color → Pair → High Card. Compare the hand category first; card values break ties within a category. This chart covers the ordinary non-joker format.
Trail / Trio
Three of a kindThree cards sharing a rank. A higher trio outranks a lower trio.
Pure Sequence
Straight flushThree consecutive ranks, all in one suit.
Sequence
Straight / runThree consecutive ranks in mixed suits.
Color / Colour
FlushOne suit, with ranks that do not form a sequence.
Pair
DoubleTwo matching ranks and one different card.
High Card
No pairNo stronger category applies. Compare ranks from highest down.
A higher category beats a lower category even when its individual card values are smaller. For example, a low Trail beats an ace-high Pure Sequence.
Teen Patti Sequence List: A-2-3 vs A-K-Q
A Pure Sequence and a normal Sequence both require consecutive ranks; sharing a suit makes the former the higher category. The order of ace sequences is a table rule, not a universal constant.
Convention A: A-K-Q First
A-K-Q → A-2-3 → K-Q-J → Q-J-10 → J-10-9 → 10-9-8 → 9-8-7 → 8-7-6 → 7-6-5 → 6-5-4 → 5-4-3 → 4-3-2.
Convention B: A-2-3 First
A-2-3 → A-K-Q → K-Q-J → Q-J-10 → J-10-9 → 10-9-8 → 9-8-7 → 8-7-6 → 7-6-5 → 6-5-4 → 5-4-3 → 4-3-2.
Check your table's rule before comparing A-2-3 with A-K-Q. The two conventions above are documented examples, not a confirmed Indslots setting or a complete list of house rules. K-A-2 is not a sequence under either convention.
Which Teen Patti Hand Wins?
These original examples use ordinary non-joker rankings and avoid the disputed ace-sequence comparison. Read the category first, then use the relevant card ranks.

Teen Patti Tie-Break Rules
TrailCompare the triplet's rank.
Pure Sequence / SequenceCompare sequence strength using the table's ace convention.
Color / High CardCompare the highest cards, then the middle cards, then the lowest cards.
PairCompare paired ranks first. If equal, compare the remaining card.
If every relevant rank is equal, do not invent a suit priority or assume the pot is split. Final settlement can depend on the show or sideshow rules. This is separate from deciding which hand has stronger card ranks.
What Is Teen Patti?
Teen Patti is a traditional three-card game widely recognised across India. The name Teen Patti translates to “three cards”, which describes the basic format of the game: each participating player receives three cards and the strength of those cards is compared according to Teen Patti hand rankings.
Teen Patti is often played with a standard 52-card deck without jokers. Different versions may use slightly different table rules, but the traditional format revolves around three-card combinations, player decisions and comparing hands.
New players should first understand the card rankings and the difference between playing Blind and playing Seen. Once those two ideas are clear, following a Teen Patti round becomes much easier.
How to Play Teen Patti
A Teen Patti round follows a relatively simple sequence. The exact controls can vary between versions of the game, but the traditional structure can be understood in four basic steps.
1
Cards Are Dealt
Each participating player receives three cards from a standard deck. The cards are normally dealt face down.
2
Choose Blind or Seen
A player may continue without looking at the cards as a Blind player or view the cards and continue as a Seen player.
3
The Round Continues
Players make decisions in turn according to the table rules. They can continue in the round or leave the round.
4
Cards Are Compared
When the remaining hands are compared, the Teen Patti hand-ranking order determines which combination is stronger.
Blind vs Seen in Teen Patti
The terms Blind and Seen describe whether a player has looked at their three cards. Understanding this difference makes many of the actions shown on a Teen Patti table easier to follow.
👁 Blind Player
A Blind player continues without looking at the three cards. The cards remain unknown to that player while they make their decisions according to the current table rules.
🃏 Seen Player
A Seen player has viewed the three cards and therefore knows the hand combination before making the next decision.
Common Teen Patti Terms
You may see several traditional terms while learning Teen Patti. Knowing their basic meaning can make game instructions easier to understand.
Boot
The initial amount or starting contribution used
to begin a traditional round.
Blind
Continuing without viewing the three cards.
Seen
Continuing after viewing the cards in your hand.
Pack
Leaving the current round rather than continuing.
Chaal
A term commonly associated with continuing
a turn after viewing the cards.
Show
The stage where eligible hands are compared
according to the rules of the game.
Teen Patti Tips for Beginners
For someone learning Teen Patti for the first time, understanding the rules is more important than trying to remember every detail immediately. Start with the basic structure and build familiarity gradually.
- Memorise the six main Teen Patti hand rankings before concentrating on more advanced table actions.
- Learn the difference between Blind and Seen play because many Teen Patti decisions depend on that status.
- Read the specific rules shown by the version you are using, since table formats and available options may vary.
- Follow several rounds first if you are unfamiliar with the interface so you understand where cards, actions and results appear.
- Treat Teen Patti as entertainment and avoid assuming that any particular card pattern guarantees the outcome of a future round.
Playing Teen Patti on Mobile
Digital versions of Teen Patti are commonly designed around short rounds and simple card controls, which makes the game suitable for smaller mobile screens. A clear interface should make the three cards, current player status and available actions easy to identify.
