The deal

How a round works
Deal, decide, settle, repeat
Most Indian card games share the same three-part shape, even when the rules on top of it differ.
02
The decision window
In games like Teen Patti, players choose to play blind or see their hand and act on it. In Andar Bahar, cards are simply dealt to two sides until one matches.
03
The showdown
The round settles against the table's stated rules, payouts are applied, and a new deal starts. Nothing from the previous round carries over.
Common games
Three games, three different structures
A familiar name doesn't guarantee a familiar rule set. Check the table's own version before you play.
Teen Patti
A three-card game built around hand ranking and betting rounds, closer in structure to poker than a pure chance game.
Andar Bahar
A single reference card is dealt, then cards are dealt alternately to two sides until one matches it. There's no hand to build, only a side to back.
Poker variants
Card-and-skill formats where decisions across several betting rounds affect the result far more than in a single-deal game.
Chance and pace
What a fast round actually means for you
Every deal starts clean
Short rounds and visible cards can make a table feel like it's building toward something, but each deal is independent of the one before it. What raises exposure isn't the game itself, it's how many rounds you play back to back without a break. Decide a time and spending limit before the first deal, and treat reaching either one as the signal to stop.
