How to Play Teen Patti Royale: Ante, Play or Fold, and the Pair Plus

Teen Patti Royale on 6proclub: set your Ante, see three cards, then Play or Fold vs a dealer who qualifies at Queen-high. Pair Plus pays up to 40:1. ~96% RTP.

Teen Patti Royale is the classic Indian three-card game rebuilt as a provably-fair round against the house. You set a bet, look at three cards, and make one decision: back them or let them go. It plays like Three Card Poker's cousin — same Ante-and-Play spine — but with authentic Teen Patti hand ranking, where a run beats a flush. Add the optional Pair Plus side bet and a single deal can pay as much as 40 to 1.

Here's exactly how the betting, the ranking, and the two bonus payouts work.

The rules

Set your Ante (€0.20 to €20) and, if you want, a separate Pair Plus side bet.
Hit DEAL. You get three cards face up; the dealer's three stay face down.
Look at your hand and decide: PLAY (stake a second bet equal to your Ante) or FOLD (surrender the Ante).
If you play, the dealer reveals. The dealer qualifies with Queen-high or better.
Everything settles by the tables below — and the Pair Plus, if you placed it, pays on your hand alone whatever the dealer holds.

The hand ranking

Teen Patti ranks three-card hands from strongest to weakest like this — and note the twist that catches Western poker players: a straight (Sequence) beats a flush (Color).

Trail — three of a kind (three Aces is the best hand in the game).
Pure Sequence — three cards in a row, all one suit (a straight flush).
Sequence — three cards in a row, mixed suits (a straight/run). A-2-3 counts as a run, ranked just below A-K-Q.
Color — three cards of one suit, not in sequence (a flush).
Pair — two cards of the same rank.
High Card — none of the above; the highest card plays.

That ordering isn't cosmetic — it's what decides your hand against the dealer's, and it's what the Pair Plus and Ante Bonus tables pay on.

Play or fold — the one real decision

Once you've seen your three cards, folding surrenders your Ante and ends the hand. Playing stakes a second bet equal to the Ante and forces a showdown. The math has a clean answer: play any hand of Q-6-4 or better, fold everything weaker. In practice that means always play a pair or any made hand, always play when your high card is a Queen or above with a reasonable kicker, and fold stone-cold junk. Playing worse hands than Q-6-4 bleeds money; folding better ones leaves money on the table.

How a played hand settles

When you play and the dealer turns over:

Dealer doesn't qualify (worse than Queen-high): your Ante pays 1:1 and your Play bet is returned — a guaranteed profit on the Ante regardless of whose cards were better.
You beat the dealer: both the Ante and the Play bet pay 1:1 — even money on both stakes.
Dealer beats you: you lose both the Ante and the Play bet.
Exact tie (same rank, same high cards): the hand pushes and both bets come back.

The Pair Plus side bet

Pair Plus is a bet purely on your own three cards — it ignores the dealer entirely and pays even if you fold. Land a qualifying hand and it pays:

Trail — 40:1
Pure Sequence — 30:1
Sequence — 7:1
Color — 3:1
Pair — 1:1

Anything less than a pair loses the Pair Plus stake. It's the "I don't care about the dealer, I just want my premium hand paid" bet, and the 40:1 on a Trail is the biggest single multiplier on the table.

The Ante Bonus

There's one more automatic payout on the main game, and it's easy to miss: land a top hand and your Ante earns a bonus paid no matter what the dealer holds — you get it even if the dealer outranks you. In Teen Patti Royale a Pure Sequence pays a 5:1 Ante Bonus and a Trail pays 4:1. You don't opt in and you don't stake anything extra; it rides on the Ante you already placed.

Where the ~96% comes from

Put the pieces together — the 1:1 Ante and Play payouts, the dealer's Queen-high qualification (which hands you a free Ante win whenever the dealer misses), the Ante Bonus on premium hands, and the Pair Plus table — and the game returns about 96% to a player using the Q-6-4 strategy over the long run. That's a genuine table-game edge, not a slot's. Deviating from the strategy widens it; the Pair Plus carries its own, slightly steeper edge, which is the price of a shot at 40:1.

Provably fair — verify the deal

The six-card deal is committed before you ever see a card, so the dealer's hand can't be adjusted after you play:

Before the round, the server publishes a SHA-256 hash of its secret seed.
Card order is derived deterministically from serverSeed : clientSeed : nonce through a published shuffle.
After the hand, the seed is revealed. You hash it, confirm it matches the pre-commitment, and replay the exact shuffle — same six cards, same order, every time.

The browser recomputes the whole hand from the revealed seed, so "the house dealt itself a better card" is mathematically impossible. See the provably-fair guide for cash-out games for the full commit-reveal protocol.

In one paragraph

Teen Patti Royale is provably-fair three-card poker against the dealer: place an Ante (plus an optional Pair Plus side bet), see your three cards, then Play — staking a second Ante — or Fold. Hands rank Trail > Pure Sequence > Sequence > Color > Pair > High Card, so a run beats a flush. The dealer qualifies at Queen-high; if it doesn't, your Ante pays 1:1 and the Play bet is returned. Play Q-6-4 or better. A Pure Sequence adds a 5:1 Ante Bonus, a Trail 4:1, and Pair Plus pays up to 40:1 on a Trail — all on a game that returns about 96% and lets you verify every deal from the committed seed.
