Teen-patti Game Development Company
Teen Patti is a three-card game that started in the Indian subcontinent and is a version of poker. 7 Unicorn Gaming builds and rents Teen Patti games for betting-site operators: this page explains the rules and how the game reaches your players.

How Teen Patti is played
Teen Patti is very popular amongst South Asian people and gives millions of players an opportunity to enjoy a gambling game. It is played between groups of 3 to 6 people with a single deck, each player receiving three cards. The most striking thing about Teen Patti is that a player's winning chances always seem high, which is what keeps the tables busy.
Hands rank from trail (three of a kind) down through pure sequence, sequence, colour and pair to high card. Players bet in turn, seen or blind, and the hand either ends when only one player remains or at a show between the last two.
Antes and why they matter
An ante is a forced bet in which each player places an equal amount of money or chips into the pot before the deal begins. Often this is a single unit, the smallest value in play, or some other small amount; a percentage such as half or one quarter of the minimum bet is also common. An ante paid by every player ensures that a player who folds every round still loses money, slowly, so everyone has an incentive to play the hand rather than toss it in.
Antes discourage extremely tight play. Without the ante, a player who has not paid a blind can throw in their hand at no cost; the ante makes doing so too often a losing proposition. With antes, more players stay in the hand, which increases the pot and makes for more interesting play. In games where the acting dealer changes each turn, players sometimes agree that the dealer provides the ante for everyone. This simplifies betting but causes minor inequities as players come and go, so a returning player can be given a button indicating that they must post an ante on their return.
Loose and tight play
Loose and tight in Teen Patti refer to a player's general tendency to play hands beyond the first round or to fold them quickly. There is no accepted threshold as a ratio of hands played, but a tight player will often fold weaker hands while a loose player bets on more of them and takes more hands to the show. A game engine has to handle both styles: fast folds and long multi-way pots.
