One of the best parts of online casinos is their unlimited capacity for casino games. Brick-and-mortar casinos are bound to the size of their venue; new casino games can’t be added unless old ones are removed such as slots or video poker. At Bovada's online casino, we’re always expanding, and it’s not at the expense of any of our older casino games. When you play online casino table games here, you could play a new one every day for three weeks straight. Just recently, our online casino table games section welcomed four new games in addition to the other casino games like slots and video poker that we have on file, including three casino games that are very popular in India, where card games have a longstanding tradition among family and friends. The other benefit of online casinos, the ability to play new games from all over the world online.
This online casino table games guide will acquaint you with Teen Patti Rapid, Teen Patti Pro, Andar Bahar, and Spin the Wheel—the newest casino games online. You’ll learn the rules of these games, their real money payout structure, and the reason behind their popularity. Let’s get started with Teen Patti.
Teen Patti Rapid and Teen Patti Pro
If you’re wondering what is Teen Patti, you’re not alone. This game has recently taken the internet by storm, but contrary to popular belief, it’s not a new casino game, but new to Bovada's online casino. Teen Patti has been popular in India for ages and also goes by the names of Flash or Flush. It originates from the English card game Three-Card Brag, which is influenced by poker. In Three-Card Brag, players are dealt three cards each and then get a chance to bet based on the strength of their hand. Whoever has the highest poker hand at the end of the casino round wins the real money prize.
Depending on which of these online casino games you play, Teen Patti will either set up figurative opponents, like Brag, or have you play solo. With Teen Patti Rapid, you play alone, so you don’t need to beat someone in order to win. Instead, you have a goal of landing a Pair or better in your three-card hand. It’s as easy as putting down a wager, getting dealt a hand, and should that hand comprise a Pair or above, you win. Your only online casino play decision is how much to bet when you play. The real money payout you win depends on your play hand.
Teen Patti Rapid Payouts
Pair 2:1
Flush 5:1
Straight 6:1
Three of a Kind 30:1
Straight Flush 50:1
Teen Patti Pro is a step up from Teen Patti Rapid in terms of casino play complexity, but it’s still a simple casino game. Out of the two online casino games, this one has two opposing sides: the Player and casino Dealer—much like in Baccarat. Between them is a betting square for the Split. The players' job is to simply bet on who the players think will be dealt a stronger poker hand, or if players think both sides will tie, go for the Split. The odds of both sides winning are completely equal, so it’s similar to a coin flip, which is why the casino game is so popular. If players guess correctly, players win a real money payout according to the casino paytable. The Player and casino Dealer bets pay 1.9:1, and the Split pays 865:1. Keep in mind, with three-card poker, Straights are stronger than Flushes, and this is the case with Teen Patti too. The poker rankings are as follows, listed below from strongest to weakest:
• Straight Flush: Ex. 4s,5s,6s
• Three of a Kind: Ex. 7s,7h,7c
• Straight: Ex. 9s,10h,Jd
• Flush: Qh,4h,2h
• Pair: 8s,8h,Jd
• High Card: As,7c,Qd
Only the online “Pro” version of Teen Patti includes side bets. At the start of the online casino round, you can bet on what play hand you think the casino Dealer and Player will be dealt for a chance to win extra cash. How much real money cash depends on the play hand you predict; if you correctly predict a Pair, you’re paid 5.65:1. A Flush pays 18.5:1, a Straight pays 30:1, Three of a Kind pays 405:1, and a Straight Flush, the toughest casino hand you can possibly land, pays 440:1.
Andar Bahar
Also known as Katti, Andar Bahar originated in Bengaluru, Southern India centuries ago and is still very popular in social settings.
What is Andar Bahar?
Andar Bahar a simple 50/50 card game that pits two opponents (Andar and Bahar) against each other. As is the case with Teen Patti Pro, your only play is to pick which of the two sides to bet on. After placing your bet, a single card is placed between the two sides; the rank of this card is what each side wants to be dealt. Once it’s placed in the middle, cards are dealt continuously back and forth between Andar and Bahar until one of them is dealt a card with the same rank as the middle one; that side wins. Suits don’t factor into the primary win.
To spice up the online casino play, five side bets are available for predicting what you think the middle card will be.
1. Suits: Choose what suit you think the middle card will be for a 3.8:1 payout.
2. Colors: Choose whether you think the middle card will have a red or black suit for a 1.9:1 payout.
3. Values: Try to guess the rank of the middle number, with options “Any Number,” Jack, Queen, King and Ace available for varying payouts.
4. Above Below: Wager on whether you think the middle card will be over or below Eight for a 2.05:1 payout.
5. Cards: Guess how many cards will need to be dealt in total for the round to be settled. The range is one card to 20+. Each option has a unique payout depending on its probabilities.
Spin the Wheel
With the addition of this new online casino game, Spin the Wheel, Roulette is no longer the only casino game with a wheel in our online casino. The wheel in Spin the Wheel is much more basic than Roulette, making it ideal for casino beginners, or those who just want a quick thrill with the potential to win a little bit more than what’s possible with Roulette.
How does Spin the Wheel Work?
When you play Spin the Wheel online at Bovada Casino, there’s no betting layout like there is with Roulette and there are far fewer betting options. On this colorful wheel, you’ll see numbers 0 to 9 on the wheel’s slots, and four multipliers that spin in the center of the wheel. Simply drag and drop chips on the number(s) of your choice, and give it a whirl. If your number is the winner, you win a real money payout that’s based on the final multiplier, which ranges from 1X to 4X.
| Multiplier | Payout |
| 1x | 9:1 |
| 2x | 18:1 |
| 3x | 27:1 |
| 4x | 36:1 |
