What is teen patti live?
Teen patti live is a three-card poker game streamed from a studio, where every player faces the dealer’s hand. Evolution calls it the traditional Indian favourite with the potential for big wins.
casinos.com notes that Evolution describes the game as the Asian variant of Three Card Poker. The main aim is simple: Evolution says each player tries to get a better three-card Poker hand than the dealer’s.
An unlimited number of online players can join the same teen patti live table. Everyone plays against the house, not against each other.
Where does the game come from?
India. Evolution says the traditional game, sometimes called flush or flash, originated in India and is thought to have been inspired by Three Card Brag.
The live version keeps the familiar rules but changes the format. Players place an Ante against the house, and Evolution streams the table from an Asian-themed studio.
That makes teen patti live closer to a casino table game than to the social game. Evolution notes that fans know Teen Patti from play with friends and family or from land-based casinos. Our andar bahar live page covers another Indian card game at live tables.
Who makes it?
Evolution runs the main teen patti live table covered on this page. Its game page files the game under live poker and streams it to players from its studio.
Ezugi, an Evolution brand, runs a second format called Bet on Teen Patti. Evolution’s page says it is often called 20-20 Teen Patti, and players predict whether Player A or Player B gets the stronger hand.
How does a round work?
In six steps, per Evolution’s rules. The whole decision rests on three cards, and casinos.com notes the betting window between rounds lasts about 15 seconds.
- Place the Ante bet to join the round, plus Pair Plus or 6 Card Bonus if wanted.
- Betting closes, and the dealer deals three cards face up to the player and three face down to the dealer.
- Look at the three cards and choose: Play, a bet equal to the Ante, or Fold.
- A Fold gives up the Ante for that round.
- The dealer reveals the hand and checks for a Queen High or better.
- Hands are compared, bets are settled and the side bets are evaluated separately.
Footage of a teen patti live round shows the decision step as a Make Your Decision prompt with a countdown and two buttons, 1x Play and Fold.
When does the dealer qualify?
With a Queen High or better. Evolution says the dealer must reach that hand to qualify, and the felt in gameplay footage reads “Dealer plays with Queen high or better”.
If the dealer does not qualify, the Play bet pushes and the Ante pays 1:1, per Evolution. A player who stayed in wins the Ante whatever their own hand.
Evolution frames the qualifier as the feature that gives everyone a chance to win. A low dealer hand turns every Play decision into at least an Ante win.
What happens when the dealer qualifies?
The hands are compared, and the higher-ranking Poker hand wins. Evolution’s rules settle the Ante and Play together on that comparison, with a push when the two hands tie.
| Result | Ante | Play |
|---|---|---|
| Dealer does not qualify | Pays 1:1 | Push |
| Player hand higher | Pays 1:1 | Pays 1:1 |
| Dealer hand higher | Loses | Loses |
| Equal hands | Push | Push |
| Player folds | Loses | Not placed |
The Ante Bonus sits on top of this table. It pays on a Straight or better, as the next sections show.
How are the hands ranked?
From Mini Royal down to High Card. casinos.com lists seven ranks for Evolution’s game, with a suited Ace, King and Queen at the top and a Straight ranked above a Flush.
| Rank | Hand | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mini Royal | A♠ K♠ Q♠ |
| 2 | Straight Flush | 5♦ 6♦ 7♦ |
| 3 | Three of a Kind | 8♣ 8♠ 8♦ |
| 4 | Straight | 4♣ 5♦ 6♠ |
| 5 | Flush | 2♥ 7♥ 10♥ |
| 6 | Pair | K♠ K♦ 3♣ |
| 7 | High Card | A♣ 9♦ 5♠ |
casinos.com adds that when both hands are High Card, the hand with the highest card wins. The teen patti live footage shows a hand of Ace, 8 and 3 labelled High Card.
What does the Ante Bonus pay?
Up to 5:1. Evolution says a Straight or better earns an Ante Bonus regardless of the dealer’s hand, as long as the player has placed the Play bet.
casinos.com lists the bonus at 1:1 for a Straight, 4:1 for Three of a Kind and 5:1 for a Straight Flush or higher. On a $10 Ante, that is $10, $40 or $50.
The words “regardless of the dealer’s hand” matter. A Straight still collects its bonus when the dealer turns over something stronger.
What do the main bets pay in dollars?
Take a $10 Ante and a $10 Play. If the dealer qualifies and the player wins, both pay 1:1, for $20 in winnings on $20 staked.
If the dealer fails to qualify, the Ante pays $10 and the Play comes back as a push. A Fold costs the $10 Ante and nothing more.
With a Straight against a stronger dealer hand, the player loses the $20 in main bets but collects the $10 Ante Bonus, a net loss of $10. With a Straight that wins, the total is $30.
What is the Pair Plus bet?
A side bet on the player’s own three cards. Evolution says it wins on a pair or better, and casinos.com notes it loses only on a High Card hand. It pays whatever the dealer holds.
| Hand | Payout | On a $5 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Mini Royal | 100:1 | $500 |
| Straight Flush | 40:1 | $200 |
| Three of a Kind | 30:1 | $150 |
| Straight | 5:1 | $25 |
| Flush | 4:1 | $20 |
| Pair | 1:1 | $5 |
The payouts come from casinos.com, which lists a range of $0.50 to $1,000 for this side bet at the teen patti live table.
What is the 6 Card Bonus?
A side bet built from six cards. Evolution says it wins when the player’s three cards and the dealer’s three cards make a five-card Poker hand of Three of a Kind or better.
| Hand | Payout | On a $1 bet |
|---|---|---|
| Royal Flush | 1,000:1 | $1,000 |
| Straight Flush | 200:1 | $200 |
| Four of a Kind | 100:1 | $100 |
| Full House | 20:1 | $20 |
| Flush | 15:1 | $15 |
| Straight | 10:1 | $10 |
| Three of a Kind | 7:1 | $7 |
casinos.com lists a range of $0.50 to $250 for the 6 Card Bonus, the lowest ceiling of the three bets.
What is the RTP of teen patti live?
It depends on the bet. casinos.com lists 97.99% on the total bet, 96.63% on the Ante, 95.51% on Pair Plus and 91.44% on the 6 Card Bonus for Evolution’s teen patti live table.
Read as cost, the house keeps about $2.01 of every $100 on the total bet, $3.37 on the Ante, $4.49 on Pair Plus and $8.56 on the 6 Card Bonus over the long run.
The biggest payout comes with the highest cost. The 1,000:1 Royal Flush sits on the bet with the lowest return in the game.
What does a hundred rounds cost?
About $33.70 on a $10 Ante. One hundred rounds put $1,000 in Antes on the table, and at 96.63% the long-run cost is about 3.37% of that.
Adding a $5 Pair Plus each round puts another $500 in play, at a cost of about $22.45. A $1 6 Card Bonus adds $100 and about $8.56.
Together, those three bets cost about $64.71 per hundred teen patti live rounds on average. A single session can land far from that average in either direction.
What are the bet limits?
casinos.com lists $0.50 to $5,000 on the Ante, $0.50 to $1,000 on Pair Plus and $0.50 to $250 on the 6 Card Bonus at Evolution’s teen patti live table.
Chips come in six values, per casinos.com: 0.50, 1, 2, 5, 25 and 100. A $5,000 Ante would take fifty 100 chips.
The footage matches the range, with the table header reading Teen Patti €0.50 to €5,000.
What does the table show?
The dealer, the bet spots and the decision tools. Footage shows a purple felt with Ante, Play, Pair Plus and 6 Card Bonus spots, and a panel that shows the player’s three cards and names the hand.
casinos.com describes two features. The Strength Meter appears after the deal and rates the hand from Weak to Strong. Decision Statistics show what share of players chose Play or Fold.
casinos.com treats the statistics as information only. Every hand is independent, so the player’s own three cards drive the choice.
What decides the Play or Fold choice?
The player’s own three cards. casinos.com advises weighing only those cards, and treats the Strength Meter as a guide rather than a promise, since the dealer’s hidden hand can still be stronger.
The cost of each choice is fixed. Folding gives up the Ante. Playing doubles the money at risk, since the Play bet equals the Ante.
casinos.com’s general advice is to fold weak hands rather than chase them, and to set a budget and stick to it at the teen patti live table.
What is Bet on Teen Patti?
A prediction format from Ezugi. Evolution’s page says the player does not play against the dealer but predicts whether Player A or Player B will get the stronger hand, and the game is often called 20-20 Teen Patti.
It has no Play or Fold decision. The whole round is a single call on two hands.
It suits players who want the teen patti live feel without the decision step of the main game.
How does teen patti live compare with three card poker?
They are close relatives. LeoVegas pitches Evolution’s teen patti live table to players who like three-card poker, and casinos.com says Evolution calls it the Asian variant of Three Card Poker.
LeoVegas describes the same ante-then-play format with a Queen High qualifier. The top of the ranking is teen patti live’s own touch: casinos.com lists a suited Ace, King and Queen as the Mini Royal.
Our side bet city live page covers another live table with a three-card hand.
Is teen patti live on mobile?
Yes. Evolution says its Teen Patti is available on desktop, tablet or smartphone, so the same table and bets work on a phone.
The decision step suits a small screen. The Make Your Decision prompt in the teen patti live footage uses two large buttons, Play and Fold.
What does a Canadian player check before playing?
Four items: the table name and limits in the header, the RTP in the game help, the side bet pay tables and the operator’s registration. All four are visible before the first hand of teen patti live.
Set a money limit and a time limit before the first Ante. Players in Ontario who want support can call ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600.

Which pages are worth reading next?
Four pages sit closest to this one. Each covers another poker-style table game or live dealer play tied to the subjects above, and each one stands on its own.
Teen patti live keeps the Indian classic’s three-card core and builds a house game around it: an Ante, a Play decision, a Queen High qualifier and two side bets.
