Teen Patti 20-20

Introduction

Teen Patti 20-20 is a simple poker-based game by OneTouch, a provider of games for Internet casinos. Much like baccarat, two hands will be dealt and the player will bet on which hand will have a higher score. However, in this case, both hands are scored according to their three-card poker value. Of course, there are some side bets too.

Rules

1. A single 52-card deck is used.
2. The dealer shall deal two three-card hands to a "Player A" and "Player B."
3. Both hands shall be scored according to the following ranking, from the highest listed first. Note this differs from the rank order of other Teen Patti games.
   • Three of a kind

   • Straight
   • Flush

4. Standard poker rules are used to break ties if both hands are the same type listed above.
5. Winning bets on Player A and Player B pay 0.95 to 1. Ties push.
