In India, the traditional card game of Teen Patti follows specific hand poker rules that determine the winning combinations. The game uses a standard 52-card deck without jokers, and the hand rankings are similar to traditional poker but with some cultural variations.  
 
The highest ranking hand is the Trail or Set, which consists of three cards of the same rank, similar to three of a kind in Western poker. This is followed by Pure Sequence, which is three consecutive cards of the same suit, equivalent to a straight flush. The next ranking is Sequence, which are three consecutive cards not all of the same suit, comparable to a straight.  
 
Color is another hand ranking where all three cards share the same suit but are not in sequence, similar to a flush. Pair consists of two cards of the same rank with one different card, while High Card is the lowest ranking hand where none of the above combinations are present, and the highest card determines the winner.  
 
These hand poker rules are deeply embedded in Indian gaming culture and are commonly played during festivals and social gatherings across the country. |
