Jhandu Teen Patti Rules

(Also known as "Jhandu Joker Teen Patti")

Jhandu is a fun Teen Patti variation where Jokers are decided based on random cards drawn after dealing. Jokers act as wild cards and can replace any card to make the best hand.

✅ 1. BASIC RULES

• Deck: Standard 52-card deck (no physical jokers; jokers are chosen from the deck).

• Players: 3 to 6 players.

• Boot & Betting: Same as Classic Teen Patti – everyone posts a boot amount, and betting proceeds clockwise.

• Objective: Make the best hand (normal Teen Patti hand rankings are used).

✅ 2. JOKER SELECTION (THE JHANDU TWIST)

1. After dealing 3 cards to all players,
   the dealer places one or more cards face-up in the center of the table.

2. The value of these cards becomes the JOKER for all players.

   • Example: If the dealer places 8♦ face-up, all 8s (8♥, 8♣, 8♠, 8♦) act as Jokers for every player.

3. Some variations use two or three Jhandu cards (e.g., dealer places Q♠ and 6♥ face-up, so both Qs and 6s are Jokers).

4. Players can use Jokers to substitute any missing card to make the strongest hand possible.

✅ 3. HAND RANKINGS

The classic Teen Patti hand rankings are used (highest to lowest):

1. Trail (Trio / Three of a Kind)

2. Pure Sequence (Straight Flush)

3. Sequence (Straight)

4. Color (Flush)

5. Pair

6. High Card

Because of the Jhandu Jokers, high-ranking hands (Trails & Pure Sequences) become much more frequent.

✅ 4. TURN ACTIONS

Same as Classic Teen Patti:

• Blind or Seen Play (you can play without seeing or after seeing cards).

• Side Show (between seen players).

• Show (final stage when only 2 players remain).

• Pot Limit can be set to avoid unlimited betting.

✅ 5. WINNING

The player with the best hand after using Jokers wins the entire pot.
