Are there are online Teen Patti gamerooms?

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

The Internet has definitely revolutionized how people work and play. Teen Patti, though a recent addition to the Western array of card games, has already taken advantage of what going online has to offer. As such, there are some online Teen Patti game rooms available to those who wish to play Teen Patti from the comforts of their home or office.

One of the most popular and established online game rooms would be TeenPatti.com. This site is the brainchild of a group of young Indian entrepreneurs and programmers who grew up with a passion for this traditional Indian game. Their vision is to introduce the game that they grew up playing to the rest of the world. Combining their knowledge of the game and their skills and talents, they came up with what is touted to be the best and most comprehensive site for Teen Patti. To play, you need to download their software which was developed by the same group. You can then immediately start playing. Every month, the site holds free roll tournaments. Anyone can join and get the chance to win valuable prizes. Licensed and regulated at San Jose, Costa Rica, TeenPatti games are powered by LoboGaming Corp. (LGC).

Another online Teen Patti game room is 3Patti.com. 3Patti.com is another Costa Rica based company. Its main targets are Indian nationals and those of Indian origins. At 3Patti.com, you can play Teen Patti online against real people from all over the world. In order to be able to do this, all you need to do is to sign up with them for free. You would need a valid e-mail address to do so. You also have to download the software in order to play. The creators and managers of 3Patti pride themselves in excellent service. As such, their customer service center is open for their clients 24 hours a day 7 hours a week.

Though these sites primarily offer Teen Patti, they are not lacking for other gambling activities as well. From poker to blackjack to roulette, you just might find them here as well. In the same way, other more general online game rooms might have Teen Patti on their rosters. At the rate and pace that the Western world is getting to know Teen Patti, it is not unlikely that this card game will be making its presence felt in many of the major online game rooms in the near future.

What is the learning curve for Teen Patti?

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

Most activities known to man are learned. That is, we do not know exactly how to do something at the first try. What happens is that we go through a learning process that varies depending on the person and the activity. This is where the concept of the learning curve comes in. The learning curve effect states that “the more times a task has been performed, the less time will be required on each subsequent iteration. It was discovered by the nineteenth-century German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus.”

You may be thinking, this is all well and good – it sounds really scientific and all – but how does it relate to Teen Patti? After all, I just want to have fun. Well there is the issue of actually learning to play the game. Just as with other card games, I am sure that if you know how to play Teen Patti, that was not always the case. If you do not know how to play it yet, well you still have to go through the process of learning the game.

So again, back to the question – where does the learning curve effect come into the scene? Teen Patti is a relatively easy card game to learn. When you ask the question “How easy or hard is it to learn Teen Patti?” it is essentially asking about the learning curve of Teen Patti,

How fast you learn to play the game would depend on several factors. As you may already have an idea, Teen Patti is quite similar to poker except that it makes use of only 3 cards in a hand, as opposed to the 5 in poker. That decrease in number of cards per hand would increase the learning curve. That is due to the less number of possible combinations. In relation to this, if you know how to play poker or any other similar card game, your learning curve would even be steeper – that is, you would learn faster. On the other hand, if you are totally new to cards (that is, you have no idea what the shapes and colors and numbers mean) then you would definitely have a less steep learning curve. In other words, it would take you quite some time to get the game. So basically, how quickly one learns to play Teen Patti depends on the person. The game itself is easy enough to learn and play. All the rest is up to you.
