To play Teen Patti for real cash, first, each player puts in an initial bet called the ante. Then, each player is dealt three cards face down. The goal is to have the best three-card hand possible. The hands are ranked similar to poker, with three aces being the highest followed by a straight run and then three of a kind.
Players can either bet or fold based on the strength of their hand. The game continues until all but one player has folded or until a showdown occurs, where the remaining players reveal their hands and the winner takes the pot.
