Start with the version at your table

Teen Patti uses three-card hands. A familiar name can still cover different table formats, so open the rules for the version you select in IS7. In particular, check whether you are comparing hands with other players or playing a dealer-based variation.

The list below is a reference to conventional Teen Patti rankings. It does not establish the settings of every IS7 table.

The usual order, strongest first

  • Trail: three equal ranks, such as 8♠ 8♥ 8♦.
  • Pure sequence: three consecutive ranks in one suit, such as 8♣ 9♣ 10♣.
  • Sequence: consecutive ranks that are not all one suit, such as 4♠ 5♥ 6♦.
  • Colour: one suit without consecutive ranks, such as K♦ 8♦ 3♦.
  • Pair: two equal ranks and a third card, such as 6♣ 6♦ Q♥.
  • High card: a hand that falls outside the categories above.

Comparing hands without getting lost

Identify the category before comparing individual cards. A pair belongs to a different category from a high-card hand; looking only for an Ace is not enough. For a tied category, consult the table’s comparison rules.

Ace sequences deserve a separate check. Do not assume where A-2-3 sits relative to A-K-Q, or how an exact tie is settled. A ranking remembered from another app may not match the version in front of you.

Reading the controls

Blind generally means continuing without viewing your cards; seen means you have looked. Pack means leaving the hand. Show relates to revealing and comparing cards when that option is available. Limits and eligibility for these actions depend on the table.

Before confirming any action, identify the amount it commits and whether it ends your participation. Pause if a button’s purpose is unclear. Reading the rules before the timer starts is easier than trying to learn them during a decision.
