Etiquette
Three cards decide the hand, and both the betting rounds and the paytable vary by venue — ask the dealer first. Keep your cards hidden, and if you are playing blind, do not peek. The pace is quick, so learn the rhythm at the minimum stake. Place cash and chips on the felt, not into the dealer's hand. Finish betting before the dealer calls no more bets. Photography is restricted on most gaming floors — ask before taking out a phone. Tipping the dealer is customary but never required.

FAQ
- What is the house edge in Teen Patti?
- Teen Patti runs at 3.79% under standard rules. The edge alone is misleading: what you actually lose is edge x stake x hands per hour, and Teen Patti runs 시간당 약 60핸드. A lower edge at a faster pace can cost more per hour. This figure assumes standard rules. A venue that changes the payout or the rules changes the real number.
- Which bet is worst at a Teen Patti table?
- In this table 6 Card Bonus is worst at 15.28% and Ante/Play is lowest at 3.79%. At the same table, where you place the bet changes the expected loss several times over — the spots with the biggest payouts are usually the ones with the biggest edge.
- Can a first-timer sit at Teen Patti?
- Moderate. The rules are less of an obstacle than the running order and the vocabulary. Read the glossary and table phrases above first.
- What are the payouts in Teen Patti?
- Standard payouts are 페어플러스 — 페어 1:1 · 페어플러스 — 플러시 3:1 · 페어플러스 — 2~K 트리플 40:1 · 페어플러스 — 스트레이트 6:1. Payouts are something a venue can change, and changing them changes the house edge — if the sign differs from the standard, the edge above does not apply at that table.
